Deceived: nasha, verb (Strong’s 5377) Root: יַשִּׁ֥א Deception is a tricky thing. I'm particularly frustrated with AI and their manipulation of photographs. I'm not entirely anti-AI, it has its helpful uses, but I am faced, daily, with images on social media that make me question their validity. Am I really looking at an authentic photo… Continue reading Nasha/Yashi: Being DECEIVED

Ra’ah: The FRIENDSHIP of Shepherds
