Bible verses you like
Jun 23rd, 2008 at 3:35pm
 
You don't have to be religious, I wouldn't even call myself Christian anymore, just a believer in God, however I have a Christian background.

Also, I reckon Jesus had narcissistic personality disorder, as he would go around saying he was the Son of Man (God) yet we are all God's children. He also said anyone can do what he has done, so yeah maybe he wasn't that awesome. I might be going to suffer damnation now.

Here's one I like:
Quote:
Ephesians 6:12
12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.


Basically it is telling us the Government is bad and we need to fight against them.

This is something I approve of.

What parts of it do you like?

The turning the other cheek bit. It reminds of Ghandi. I've seen it done once or twice and it can really put people on the back foot.

Yep, that was pretty cool too.

Megadeth have an excellent version of the lord's prayer on their latest album.

Song of Songs 

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—
      for your love is more delightful than wine.

3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;
      your name is like perfume poured out.
      No wonder the maidens love you!

4 Take me away with you—let us hurry!
      Let the king bring me into his chambers.

4:5 "Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies."

8:1-3 "If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates. His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me."

Some nice poetry there.

"On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'
For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

I was joking of course, but it does make me reflect on the power of music, and it's ability to touch people on an emotional, intellectual, and spiritual level, can serve as a great catalyst for change.

Personally I find it very inspirational, this link is to the 'Leningrad Cowboys', performing "Sweet Home Alabama", with the Red Army Choir, I just love how music can transcend cultural divides, perhaps more music will help us bridge more cultural divides.

I have loved Proverbs 3 for about 8 years now:

Quote:
1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
 4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
 5 ¶ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 7 ¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
 9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
 11 ¶ My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
 12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
 13 ¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
 19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
 20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
 21 ¶ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
 22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
 23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
 24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
 26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
 27 ¶ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
 28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
 29 Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
 30 ¶ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
 31 ¶ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
 32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
 33 ¶ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
 34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
 35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.


It probably just resonates with my personal life experiences.

I should add that I don't believe in "religion", but I can read my Bible anyday and derive much personal inspiration from it. In that sense, to me, it's a "sacred book".

this should have been in the bible..................

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

"Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king and strengthened himself against Israel. 
He stationed troops in all the fortified cities of Judah and put garrisons in Judah and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
The LORD was with Jehoshaphat because in his early years he walked in the ways his father David had followed.
He did not consult the Baals  but sought the God of his father and followed his commands rather than the practices of Israel. "

You want a bible verse...

Corinthians.

13:4-7

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


YOU WANT A CONTEMPORARY SONG...

Rick Price
RIVER OF LOVE.

When I'm in trouble
When I'm sinking down
Caught up in this struggle
Stuck out on the wrong side of town
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
To the river of love
Dip my hands in your water
So cool and clear
Pouring down from the altar
There's healing here
Lord I know you won't forsake me
You help me rise above
Let your spirit take me down
To the river of love
Wash my soul in your water
Turn me around
And I'll surrender all like I ought to
When I go down
To the river of love
River of love
Take me down, down down
To the river of love

Grendel - your contemporary songs lyrics read well to me.



One that cropped up tonght. Obscure, but shows the personal relationship that us xians harp on about.  Smiley

"Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ."

Luke 2:25,26

Simeon was a jew at the time of jesus birth, awaiting the messiah.
He had been "informed" of the messiahs arrival and rejoiced in the event.
Though others were unaware, he knew.
This quote shows the presence and knowledge of the Holy Spirit and the faith of Someon.

queer - it is a good one. I looked it up.


Pr 12:13 An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes trouble.

Pr 12:14 From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.

Sorry guys and gals, I try to keep the chrisitianity spiritual quietish, but just read this quote I liked.



" When your days are over and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever.
I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor.
I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever.' "

1 Chronicles 17:11-14

Written about 425 BC, it is God talking to King David. The person God is referring to could well be Jesus.



Promise, my next few postings here will be nonchristian.

"Even youths grow tired and weary,
      and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the LORD

      They will soar on wings like eagles;
      they will run and not grow weary,
      they will walk and not be faint."

"Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

Hiya sprint. Smiley

You know how I hate kids being taught religion?

Well on reading that last verse, it would seem to me as if a person needs to make that personal decision, as a sentient, experienced being, not some brainwashed baby.

Like you saw in that jesus camp doco, where kids aged 10 to 14, were asked to  commit their lives to jesus, and be born again, but as they were all terribly manipulated and brainwashed already, it did seem like they were trying to create an affectatious experience, rather than allow a natural spiritual relationship to develop.

The expectation of what they are supposed to feel, and how they are supposed to behave, when they receive the spirit, has been programmed into these kids since birth, and that is horribly, horribly wrong.

If these freaks think they can fool god, then who are they fooling, and how foolish are they.

13:17-23 It is ill with those who had rather hear pleasing lies than unpleasing truths. The false prophetesses tried to make people secure, signified by laying them at ease, and to make them proud, signified by the finery laid on their heads. They shall be confounded in their attempts, and God's people shall be delivered out of their hands. It behoves Christians to keep close to the word of God, and in every thing to seek the teaching of the Holy Spirit. Let us so trust the promises of God as to keep his commandments.


I don't know if that's from the Bible. All I know is, I didn't write the rules, I just follow them.

Another thread reminded me that I do have “favourite Bible verses”. It would be the entirety of 1 Corinthians 13. No direct mention of God or complex Christian theology, just noble human ideals.

With its Platonist tone, Paul is most likely speaking to an educated audience who are familiar with Platonic philosophy.

The chapter transcends its early Christian platform and speaks to the heart of what all religion should be – the practise of compassion.

Quote:
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not compassion, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could move mountains, and have not compassion, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not compassion, it profits me nothing.
4 Compassion suffers long, and is kind; compassion envies not; compassion vaunts not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Does not behave itself unseemly, seeks not her own, is not easily provoked, thinks no evil;
6 Rejoices not in evil, but rejoices in the truth;
7 Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Compassion never fails: but whether there are prophecies, they shall fail; whether there are tongues, they shall cease; whether there is knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, compassion, these three; but the greatest of these is compassion.

Very nice Helian.

I did not realise that the classic line;
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
came from the bible.

I wonder how many classic verses that we think of as common wisdom, actually come from the bible?

One of my favourite Bible quotes would have to be where God (Jesus according to Christians) commanded the faithful to slaughter and pillage the Midianites, and leave only the nice young virgins alive, so the faithful 'holy warriors' could take them as booty for themselves.:

"They attacked Midian
just as the LORD had commanded
Moses, and they killed all the men.  All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle.  They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.  Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder.  They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived.  After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.

    Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to meet them outside the camp.  But Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle.  "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded.  "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor.  They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people.  Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man.  Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves"
(Numbers 31:7-18)

It is understandable for Abu to highlight a verse like that, after all, the Christians on this site quote Koranic verses condoning violence all the time, yet try and pretend that the Bible is not full of violence also.

It is fair enough for him to point out their hypocrisy on this matter.

Of course, the extent of calls to violence in the Koran does seem a lot more abundant than in the Bible, and the relative scarcity of messages of love and peace in the Koran, also does not compare favourably with the bible.

We tried to do a thread like this on the Koran, and could not find much at all in the way of verses, promoting love and compassion, for all men.

It was more like a big book of rules, where they do promote brotherly love amongst muslims, but pretty much stuff all for the rest of us.

The Bible is a large book, says lots of things. It was also written for, and about, a whole host of different things in a number of books. The Koran was however, written by one person, at one time - and that was Mohammed, a medieval warlord, that was fond of beheading his victims, raiding caravans for war booty, and encouraging his men to rape women as part of jihad.

That puts the Koran in a very different category from isolated passages in the Bible. The Koran is also the constitution in Saudi Arabia, and in other islamic nations, they say that all law will be consistent with the Koran. There is nowhere to my knowledge where the Bible is the law, enforced by the State.

Also, while there are examples of violence in the Bible, there is no doctrine of 'jihad' like there is in Islam, with 1000s of pages devoted to exactly what you do when you violently attack other religions, who to kill, who to spare, what booty you can take. It is a central doctrine of Islam, not only existing in texts, but put into practice wherever Islam is present near unbelievers.

There has never been a mainstream scholar of Islam, anywhere, that has, in a scholarly fashion, quoted the Koran and the Hadith to say why muslims should not destroy unbelievers and wage neverending jihad against the Dar al Harb. The best they can do is say 'Islam is about peace', while AQ and the like quote chapter after chapter from the Koran and the Hadith to justify their war against the infidels.

Hand the man a cigar. One of the few other people around the place who actually gets it.

I had a good chat with a former officer in the Indian Army about Islam. And he implored me to try to tell others in Australia what my view was and how dangerous Islam was. He said, "Please sir, you must tell them..you must..they are hoodwinking your people sir, you will have terror everywhere just like India, that is why I left. Please sir, they will listen to you, you are white and one of them.'

I said to him 'I doubt they will listen to me either. But I will try. In defence of this country and its freedoms,  I will try.'

Hi, I deleted a few posts from here. They had gone off topic on topic already covered many times.
I'm happy to openly discuss any topic, but just keep them in their place please.
Else we cant find a thing anyway.

Someone asked about a quote with "Fear of God in it "??



"then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."

Isaiah 30:1
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
.....8  Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9  That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11  Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
12  Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
13  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

Malachi 3:13
Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14  Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

2 Peter 3:3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Matthew 16:1
The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2  He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3  And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

Matthew 24:32
Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives."

Psalms 10:1
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2  The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3  For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8  He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10  He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

yes, I don't like that version much.
Whoever useth terms such as puffeth nowadays !!

The NIVs much more readable.


"Why, O LORD, do you stand far off?  Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.
He boasts of the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God.
His ways are always prosperous; he is haughty and your laws are far from him; he sneers at all his enemies.
He says to himself, "Nothing will shake me; I'll always be happy and never have trouble."
His mouth is full of curses and lies and threats; trouble and evil are under his tongue.
He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent, watching in secret for his victims.
He lies in wait like a lion in cover; he lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.
He says to himself, "God has forgotten; he covers his face and never sees."

Jeremiah 23:1
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
2  Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
3  And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4  And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
5  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6  In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

It has to be a personal preference.

Obviously sprint, and many others prefer the more modern [language] versions.

Myself and many others, prefer the good ol', ye KJV.

The bible i started reading as a child, was the KJV, and that version has 'stuck'.

In the past, i've tried reading modern versions, but the 'message' just doesn't 'come across' as well, for me, in the modern language versions.

Yadda, my understanding is that the KJV OT is meant to be the same as the Jewish texts, and the Catholic and Orthodox OT's have more books in them than the KJV and are more in tune with what the early Christians actually used, and that the KJV has removed some of the original Christian books to suit itself, ie the removal of Psalm 151, which I don't think is in the Catholic versions either.

Ezekiel 35:1
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3  And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7  Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8  And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9  I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10  Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11  Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12  And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13  Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14  Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15  As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.



Idumea = = Edom = = Jordan = = 'Palestinians'



".....When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate."


When the whole earth rejoices, because some calamity, some evil, befalls Israel ???

Is that the meaning?

The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

Yadda, do you really follow the OT, and not the NT, which is the teachings of Christ, thus Christians, not Talmud (which I am led to understand, perhaps erroneously, the KJV OT is a replication of) and teachings of the Jews?

Psalms and NT I think is what Christians are supposed to live by.

Do you eat pork and shellfish? If you do you are going against the OT. Do you believe in stoning to death, casting judgement etc, which is also against the NT.

I think you are just supposed to live as the NT says to.

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17  That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.



easel,

When the verse above was given, there was no NT!

That verse, in the NT, was referring to the OT scripture !

Yes?

In Jesus day, AD 30? [and later], there was only the OT scriptures,
.....which Jesus and Paul, and other NT saints frequently quoted from, within the [now!] NT.


In my opinion,
A Christian who does not [also] study the OT is missing the 'main game'!

Jesus himself, stated that many, many, verses from the OT referred to himself, his person, as the redeemer.

Personally, the books of the Bible i seem to get the most out of atm, are,
  • John,
  • Romans,
  • Hebrews,
  • Psalms [these are so, so, inspiring!!!],
  • Isaiah,
  • Exodus,
  • Deuteronomy.



Quote:
".....do you really follow the OT, and not the NT..."

easel,

I think that if you read my my posts in OzP, it should become quite clear what i believe [in].



p.s.

I'm mostly [70%-90%] a vegan.

[I mostly, try to avoid all processed foods.]

I don't eat pork, but i do sometimes eat chocolate!   Grin



Quote:
".....Do you eat pork and shellfish? If you do you are going against the OT."


Colossians 2:16
Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18  Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,




easel,

Our God and our LORD, is interested in what is in our hearts, not in what is in our stomachs.

Doesn't the OT not command against eating pork and shellfish? If you are gonna use some of the OT, use it all.

Also, I thought angels were not to be worshipped, and they don't accept worship, exceptions being fallen angels, yet it would appear you are quoting bible that says you get reward in worshipping angels. What reward is this, hell? I thought worship God and God only.

A prayer for those challenged by their sin, and seeking forgiveness and God's mercy.


Psalms 25:1
<<A Psalm of David.>> Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
2  O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
3  Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
4  Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
5  Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
6  Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.
7  Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.
8  Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9  The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11  For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12  What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13  His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14  The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.
15  Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.
16  Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.
17  The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18  Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins.
19  Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
20  O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.
21  Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.
22  Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Luke 16:19
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26  And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Quote:
Galatians 2:16

... a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.


Quote:
Romans 7:7-8

“What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, ‘Do not covet.’ But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead.”


Quote:
Romans 6:14

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.


Quote:
John 13:34-35

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”

Romans 13:10

Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

James 2:8

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.

Isaiah 66:1
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
2  For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
3  He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4  I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Rev ch22 v8-9

Quote:
John, I am the one who heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them all, I knelt at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me, to worship him; but he said, 'Do no such thing: I am your fellow-servant and the fellow-servant of your brothers the prophets and those who keep the message of this book. God alone you must worship.'


Is Jesus revealing here that he is in fact NOT God? It appears so to me. He is trying to worship an angel who tells him to worship God. God would already know who/what the angel is/was and not have to worry about making that mistake.

Rev ch22 v10-15

Quote:
This, too, he said to me, 'Do not keep the prophecies in this book a secret, because the Time is close. Meanwhile let the sinner continue sinning, and the unclean continue to be unclean; let the upright continue in his uprightness, and those who are holy continue to be holy. Look I am coming soon and my reward is with me to repay everyone as their deeds deserve. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who will have washed their robes clean, so that they will have the right to feed on the tree of life and can come through the gates into the city. Others must stay outside: dogs, fortune-tellers, and the sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, and everyone of false speech and false life.'


Here it looks like the angel is saying let the bad continue to do bad,  they have to find their own right path. Don't try and sway people either way, let them find their own salvation. Perhaps. It also mentions fortune tellers. I hope prophets are not considered in this vein. Who knows. Is a speculator/analyst considered a fortune teller or a mathematician?

Rev ch22 v18-19
Quote:
This is my solemn attestation to all who hear the prophecies in this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him every plague mentioned in the book; if anyone cuts anything out of the prophecies in this book, God will cut off his share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are described in the book.


It looks to me like the Bible is saying here, that if you alter the Bible beyond a mere translation, you are in for it. If you decide to alter or remove parts for your own agenda, same deal.

Got my verses from TNJB. Am getting more Bibles coming along soonish to study and have a look at.

What do you all think of these verses?

This is really confusing now.

So, Jesus wasn't God.

That's what the Muslims say.

How can any Christian miss the last chapter of the Bible?

Christians and Muslims, can you discuss this with civility? We need a Jew somewhere here also.

About the proud and mighty man.

Psalms 10:2
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3  For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.



In his vanity, the proud forsakes his God.

Isaiah 65:11
But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
12  Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

Hi easel - In   http://www.biblegateway.com/   there are MANY different versions of the Bible offered.
No need to buy every version yourself.

We read those quotes a bit differently.
In the first quote, my Bible says John is saying those things.
The 2nd quote, - can't FORCE people to be "good."
As with christianity, it is of ones own free will.


I have always found the book of Rev. very confusing.

Thanks for the link sprint.

Yeah I read the revelation again and it seems John wrote down what an angel told him, or similar.

Freedom.

Quote:
"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

John 8:32

Quote:
"Then the Lord said to him, 'Take off your sandals; the place where you are standing is holy ground.
I have indeed seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their groaning and have come down to set them free.
Now come, I will send you back to Egypt.'

Acts 7:33,34

Quote:
because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:2

Quote:
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Galatians 5:1


To me, these quotes are intended to steer us clear of the yoke of slavery of religion.
We are not religious. We are spiritual.

Yes, there is certainly a wonderful sentiment, expressed in Isaiah 57.

That God's intent, and his desire, is to redeem [us] 'Israel'.



Isaiah 57:13
When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14  And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
15  For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16  For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.






I love these words too....

Psalms 32:1
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
2  Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3  When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4  For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
5  I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

There was a time, and there is a way....


Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.


Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:


John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Those who walk without God, walk without God because they are proud [overconfident in their own abilities].

The children of men are too 'wise', to want, to need, or to seek their God and his righteousness.


".....and they shall be driven to darkness."


Isaiah 8:9
Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10  Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11  For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12  Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13  Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14  And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15  And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16  Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17  And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18  Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19  And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21  And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22  And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

Isaiah 54 speaks of Zion.

Zion is a 'woman'.

Who is Zion?


Isaiah 54:1
Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
2  Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3  For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4  Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5  For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
6  For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
7  For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
8  In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
9  For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
10  For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
11  O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12  And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13  And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
14  In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
15  Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
16  Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Where is God's help for his ppl, Israel?


Psalms 89:38
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
41  All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45  The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.
46  How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47  Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
48  What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
49  Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50  Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
51  Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52  Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.

sprint,

A comforting sentiment.

There is a very similar verse in Isaiah.

Isaiah 25:8
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9  And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

THE HARVEST OF WICKEDNESS OF THE EARTH IS RIPE



Genesis 12:3
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.


Matthew 13:24
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
29  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

Matthew 13:36
Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
37  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
39  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.


Matthew 24:37
....as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.


Genesis 6:5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.


Revelation 14:15
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.


Zechariah 12:1
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2  Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3  And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.


Joel 3:9
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10  Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11  Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
12  Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13  Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.


Mark 4:23
If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
24  And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25  For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
26  And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27  And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28  For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29  But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

ZION SHALL BE REDEEMED WITH JUDGEMENT




Isaiah 1:27
Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.


Isaiah 54:8
In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.


Isaiah 43:1
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.


Isaiah 44:21
Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
22  I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.


Isaiah 26:21
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.


Zechariah 12:9
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
10  And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.


Isaiah 40:1
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2  Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
3  The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4  Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.


Ezekiel 39:23
And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24  According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26  After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27  When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28  Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.


2 Samuel 7:23
And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?


Mark 4:30
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
31  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32  But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.
I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

I've heard there was a secret chord
that David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, Do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor Fall, The major lift,
The baffled king composing, hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne
she cut your hair and from your lips she drew the halleujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
but now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah…

Yeah, maybe... But I like the use of Biblical metaphors to craft this haunting and spiritual song... a reverent and plaintive cry from the soul. I've read that Jews once interpreted the scriptures in a far more metaphorical context than they do today. Maybe Cohen was drawing on that tradition with this song.

Spirituality is far more touching without the interference of religion - the gang mentality.
Religions are so robotic, so lame, and lacking of any personal spiritual input, that this song could not be properly performed by a devout religious person.

The error of moslems [and others, including Christians].

Deuteronomy 9:4
Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
5  Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Nobody is redeemed because of their [own] righteousness.

Possession of 'the promised land' is God's gift, to whomever he will give it.

'The promised land', is a spiritual metaphor.





And to whom will our God give 'his promised land' to?

To his people, nominally known as, 'the children of Israel'.

Genesis 32:27
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28  And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29  And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30  And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.


'Israel' are redeemed, through their experience of suffering, which will give them understanding, and proper [spiritual] discernment.

[Hard] experience is the best teacher.

'Israel' are those, who prevail, despite the hardships [and testing] of this experience [this 'reality'].




Isaiah 48:10
Behold, I have refined thee [Israel], but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.


Psalms 11:4
The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5  The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.


Daniel 12:10
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.


Proverbs 17:3
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.




Israel...

Psalms 129:1
Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, may Israel now say:
2  Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth: yet they have not prevailed against me.
3  The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
4  The LORD is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
5  Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.
6  Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:
7  Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
8  Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.



Quote:
Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

hmmm.

Really?

That may be, from your perspective.




Spirituality is revealed, through the interface of religion, and meditation - in my opinion.

Without finding our purpose, we will just wander aimlessly, lost in this world.

As 'strangers, in a strange land.', as someone once put it.


Psalms 4:4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

If we 'live' in the world, we will find only corruption.

If we seek our God with all of our heart, we will find inspiration, hope, and truth.



Psalms 119:2
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.


Proverbs 8:32
Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33  Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34  Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35  For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
36  But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Maybe not, but I don't think the point of the song is to be an expression of religion... It uses Biblical imagery to associate the sacred with love and the subject's faith in love even in the face of its loss... perhaps even Jobian loss.

"I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah"

helian - Perhaps that song expresses the "human" side of biblical characters?
The stress between what we should do and the temptations of the world.

Reading into the characters of stories of the bible is intriguing.
Who they were, how they felt, why they did what they did.

It also shows the side when someone has "fallen" from a spiritual life.
Quote:
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

I think the song's subject is identifying with the Biblical characters, David and Samson, at least in empathising with the disasters brought on by their erotic love for the women in their lives, merging the sacred/divine with erotic love and lamenting the tragedy that follows.

And then this...

Quote:
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah


Cohen claims he has written 80 verses for this song!! It must've been a long cold Winter!

Luke 24:13
And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14  And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15  And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16  But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17  And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18  And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19  And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20  And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21  But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22  Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23  And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24  And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25  Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26  Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28  And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29  But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30  And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31  And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32  And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33  And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34  Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35  And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
36  And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37  But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38  And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39  Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40  And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41  And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42  And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43  And he took it, and did eat before them.
44  And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.


Quote:
....And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.




To me, that is a great story in Luke!

Is it difficult to believe the 'supernatural' elements of this account?

Not for me.

Does my ability to believe this 'story', mean that i am a fool, or naive?

n.b.
A little earlier in this story, it was the very disciples [of Jesus] too, which did not believe...
Luke 24:8-11




1 Corinthians 1:21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.


Psalms 131:1
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
2  Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.


Luke 18:15
And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
16  But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.


Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:


Psalms 143:10
Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.





TRUTH,

God's word [the Bible], it is all just a 'story',
....for children.

Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10  For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.


1 Corinthians 1:21
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
22  For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
23  But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
24  But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
26  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:


1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.


John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9  Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10  Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?




The spirit [of our God] abides where it is welcome.

The spirits of evil and wickedness likewise!

But, of our God, it is said,

Psalms 5:4
....thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.






Our journey towards our God, could be likened to beholding our own image, in a mirror,
if we 'approach' our God, our God will approach us.
....and vice-versa!


Genesis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.


1 Chronicles 28:9
And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
10  Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do it.


n.b.
In the Old Testament, 'the sanctuary', was nominally God's dwelling place, among men.

Psalms 94

1  O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2  Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3  LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4  How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5  They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6  They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7  Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8  Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9  He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10  He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11  The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12  Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13  That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14  For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15  But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16  Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17  Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18  When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19  In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20  Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21  They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22  But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23  And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.

"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement....for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"




Psalms 118:1
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
2  Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
3  Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
4  Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
5  I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
6  The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?
7  The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

10  All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
11  They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
12  They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
13  Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
14  The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
16  The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
17  I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
18  The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19  Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20  This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21  I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22  The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23  This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
24  This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25  Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
26  Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
27  God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
28  Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
29  O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement....for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"




Ezekiel 9:1
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2  And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3  And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
4  And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6  Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7  And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8  And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
10  And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
11  And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement....for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"



Isaiah 28:14
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15  Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17  Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18  And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19  From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
20  For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
21  For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22  Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

"Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement....for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:"



Jeremiah 23:1
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
2  Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
3  And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4  And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
5  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6  In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8  But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

9  Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
10  For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
11  For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
12  Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
13  And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
14  I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
16  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
17  They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
18  For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19  Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
20  The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

In the book of Daniel, God reveals a coming series of empires or kingdoms of mankind, that are represented within an image of a statue.
And then God explains by Daniel, that Babylon was the first empire, the head of gold.
All of the subsequent system(s) of man on earth are in their way, later representations that first empire setup by Nebuchadnezzar.
The 'Babylon' in Revelation is a metaphor for all of the systems of authority devised by man, to rule over man.
Systems which lead mankind, to abandon their trust in [a spiritual, creator] God, and to look to the authority and 'wisdom' of fleshly men.



Daniel 2:46
Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.


Exodus 20:3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;


Jeremiah 17:5
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
....
7  Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.


Psalms 118:8
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
9  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.


Psalms 146:3
Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4  His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5  Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:


Proverbs 29:23
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24  Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25  The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
26  Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.


Malachi 3:13
Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14  Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness........
.......so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Our God is very near, to each one of us.

His advice to us, is to seek him, and his righteousness, in this time, while we can.


2 Chronicles 15:2
And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.


Isaiah 55:6
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:


Acts 17:26
And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.


Malachi 3:1
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3  And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.


Malachi 3:13
Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14  Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Psalms 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.



What does Psalms 23 say, to me?

It says,

Although you live in a world surrounded by [spiritual] darkness, I, your God, will be your light.
If you will allow me to, i will guide you, and lead you on your path [in this dark and dangerous place].
I will lead you to a safe place.
To a place where i dwell.




Revelation 3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

psalm 23 is excellent.


It says to me :
At times God is leading, at times with us. Is that beside ?
Indeed I lost my fear of death once becoming a christian (...valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil....)
you will have enemies here, but it'll turn out alright.

Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Now I try not to discriminate on the basis of religious belief: I consistently maintain that each religion is as ridiculous as any other. But I must admit I do have a favourite piece of "holy" scripture, and it just so happens to be from the christian one. I can't quote chapter, verse or even the chorus, but it's that bit where some young kids are teasing an old man for having a bald head, so god sends down a couple of bears to mutilate forty-two of them.

paella - that's exactly why i like so many athiests.
Typically athiests are ethical, reasonably well educated, make up their own minds AND a whole lot of fun to chat/be with.

I know the area you are talking about - yes, it's pretty off with no real reason as I read it.
I'm happy to find it and post it for you and general discussion

Take care

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law.

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.
They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth.
For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.

This one is one of the convuluted ones from Paul.
But I like it.


Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge.
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
But the man who loves God is known by God.
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world and that there is no God but one.
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.

But not everyone knows this.
Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat such food they think of it as having been sacrificed to an idol, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.

Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
For if anyone with a weak conscience sees you who have this knowledge eating in an idol's temple, won't he be emboldened to eat what has been sacrificed to idols?
So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall.

".............Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words.
They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn't we?"

   But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?" he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."
They brought the coin, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
"Caesar's," they replied.
Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."
And they were amazed at him............"

Quote:
There's no formula for happiness, that's guaranteed to work
It all depends on how you treat your friends
And how much you've been hurt

But it's a start, when you open up your heart
And try not to hide, what you feel inside
Just open up your heart

There's no dreamer who's ever dreamed, and seen it all come true
Takes a lot of time and breaks a lot of hearts, to see an idea through
And love's just a simple word, it's truth is easily lost
And sorry is said so easily, nobody counts the cost

But it's a start, when you open up your heart
Give you love to others, they become your brother
You open up your heart, come on, make a start
Try not to hide, what you feel inside
Just open up your heart

But it's a start, you open up your heart
Give your love to others, they become your brother
You open up your heart, come on, make a start
Try not to hide, what you feel inside
Just open up your heart
There's no formula for happiness that's guaranteed to work
And no lovers ever been in love, and not been hurt
No dreamer's ever dreamed, and seen it all come true
In the end you find the things that count, a look to me and you

But it's a start, you open up your heart
Give your love to others, they become your brother
You open up your heart, come on, make a start
Try not to hide, what you feel inside
Just open up your heart, look for another love
Try not to hide, what you feel inside



Oops, sorry, that was from a hippie pot smoking surfer from the 1970's, Mr G Wayne Thomas.

It is a pity he wasn't available to help out when they wrote the original, as his little ditty encapsulates more truth than the big book does with all it's begats and begots and hellfires and damnations.

If you want to experience a little bliss, space out on the track with some nice waves to watch at the same time, ahh, heaven is a place on earth where you are at peace with yourself, and the world? what a strange trippy hippy concept. Smiley Smiley Smiley

Following Mozza's example:

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It’s easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something they invest in


While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer’s pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death’s honesty
Won’t fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes must get lonely

And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They’d probably put my head in a guillotine
But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only


A couple of stanzas from Dylan's 'It's Alright Ma'.

Wow, I had never noticed that verse before,
he surely was a poet of worth,
I can almost feel the despair and disdain,
bleeding from those words.
Thanks for that one Annie.

So true Sprint, while some of us may feel no need to deify our spiritual beliefs, that does not diminish there importance to us.

Mozz, I love that part in particular, though there is at least one little gem of wisdom in every verse. Dylan is a brilliant man.


Sprint, that we do. I hope you have a wonderful Monday.

This one is from the Monty Python Bible:

All things dull and ugly
All creatures short and squat
All things rude and nasty
The Lord God made the lot.

Each little snake that poisons
Each little wasp that stings
He made their brutish venom
He made their horrid wings.

All things sick and cancerous
All evil great and small
All things foul and dangerous
The Lord God made them all.

Each nasty little hornet
Each beastly little squid
Who made the spiky urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did

All things scabbed and ulcerous
All pox both great and small
Putrid, foul and gangrenous
The Lord God made them all.

I have so many favourites, how could I possibly pick one.

Here are some of my favourite quotes from Jesus Christ...

"I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword" (Gospel of Matthew 10:34)

"Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord." - Colossians, chapter 3, verse 22

In reference to the old testament...
"Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished" (Matthew 5:18).

Old Testament
Punishment for rape of an unmarried person...
"If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.  Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her." Deuteronomy 22:28-29

Punishment for rape of a married person...
"If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife." -Deuteronomy 22:23-24

It's certainly an entertaining read.  More sick and twisted than any other horror story I know of.

Do you know what's so strange? I've never met a single Christian who practiced that.  I wonder why?

I interrupt this discussion of Bible verses, with some revelations about Bible myths v's historical realities...


http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible

Quote:
Bible

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bible is a collection of texts written by different people. Certain texts were written by historians who tried to show what Ancient Israel was like. Other texts are poems about God. Still others were used to make laws. All texts were written over a period of about 1200 years.

Followers of Judaism and Christianity consider the Bible sacred but they do not all agree about what belongs in the Bible. A number of texts are both in the Hebrew Bible, used by Jews, and the Christian one.

There are many names for the Bible; some call it Holy Scripture, Holy Writ or the Good Book. The Bible was written long ago in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, and translations were made later into Latin and some other languages. Now there are translations in English and many other languages.

When talking about the Bible, a book is used to speak about a number of texts. All the texts that make a book are believed to belong together.

Most of the time, people believe they were written or collected by the same person. Sometimes, all the texts of a book also have a common subject, for example how to punish someone who has done something against the law.

The Bible contains different kinds of such books. Some are history, telling the stories of the Jews, Jesus, or Jesus' followers. Some are collections of wise sayings. Some are God's commands to His people, which He expects them to obey. Some are songs of praise to God. Some are books of prophecy, messages from God that He gave through chosen people called prophets.

What is considered part of the bible changed with history. Different denominations include certain parts or leave out other parts. As the Bible has been translated into modern languages, it is also possible that there are different translations of the same texts.

Today, a complete version of the Bible exists in 429 languages. Parts have been translated in 2429 languages. Most bibles can be found in the British Museum in London.


Old Testament

   Main article: Old Testament

The Bible is a collection of books. The first part is called the Old Testament or Tanakh. It was mostly written in Hebrew; a few parts are written in Aramaic. This part of the Bible is considered to be holy by Jews as well as Christians.

There are a few parts of the Old Testament that can be proven by science. These parts are called Deuterocanonical by those Churches that accept them as part of the Bible, and Apocrypha by those that do not.


New Testament

   Main article: New Testament

The second part is called the New Testament, which is written in Greek and Aramaic. The main part of this book is the story of the life of Jesus Christ. The four different versions of this story in the New Testament are called the Gospels. After the Gospels, there is also the story of what happened after Jesus's death. Part of this is told through letters by early Christian leaders, especially Saint Paul.

One of the most quoted verses in the Bible is John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish [die] but have eternal life." NIV


Views about the Bible

People have different ideas about what the Bible is. Christians believe it is God's Word to people. The Jews believe that only the Old Testament is from God. Protestants and Catholics believe that the Old and New Testaments are God's Word. Catholics also believe that the books called Apocryphal or Deuterocanonical are part of the Bible. Sometimes different church disagree over exactly what the Bible means.

According to Islam, much of the Bible is true, but the Koran is better. Atheists do not believe that God exists, so they do not believe that God could have sent people to the earth (called prophets) to write the Bible.

Actually the first 3 quotes I gave you were from Jesus in the new testament.

The 3rd of those is Jesus telling us that every word of the old testament still counts!

Quote:
In reference to the old testament...
"Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is accomplished" (Matthew 5:18).


The other two were Jesus condoning violence and Jesus condoning slavery.

I was replying to muso. The quotes from duet. are form the OT, hence for jews only, he asked about those.

1/ no, Jesus does not condone violence. The sword is a phrase for the bible.
Quote:
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:17
. Quote:
"Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.

Matthew 26:52

2/ No, paul does not condone slavery. it was common then, he was saying how christian slaves should act.

3/the OT laws exist. they only  apply to jews.

That's because Christians don't get their morality from the bible.  They are part of the same changing moral Zeitgeist as everyone else.  Where they claim to take their morality from the bible, they are cherry picking the good bits to match the morality they already had to begin with.

Does that answer your question?

No. I knew the answer already. However their faith reinforces that natural morality.  Do you really think that you have a unique insight into reality that only comes with a lack of belief in something you can't even define?

Go on then - define the thing that you don't believe in. If I had something which I called a god, would you automatically not believe in it before I told you what it was?

Once you can actually define what you don't believe in, then you can start to define the meaning of Atheist in real terms.

- and by the way Sprint, I don't consider you to be a sanctimonious evangelizing  fundamentalist - at least from the Christianity viewpoint. It's your anti- Muslim stance that's  scary. Ok, it's following the flock, but it's still scary.

Faith reinforces nothing but ignorance.

No.  I think I have the balls to accept my own mortality, the maturity to dismiss the fairy tales and the intellectual honesty to seek an objective understanding of reality.

LMAO. Nice attempt to shift the burden of proof.  Lack of belief is the default position.  You don't believe in any of the things you don't know about... and you can't define them.

You're the one claiming something exists.  The burden of proof is therefore on you.

I don't believe anything in which I have no good reason to believe.  Show me some evidence and you might have a shot of convincing me.  It's a simple as that and it's called scientific skepticism.

My god is made of wood. I bought it in Africa. It cost me about $50. I knocked him down from about $150. He tried to get me to buy two for $100, but I didn't need two

I'd really like to see you prove that it doesn't exist, because I can touch it, feel it and smell it, and I was assured by the person who sold it to me that it was a genuine African god.  I've since seen one on Ebay that was very similar, so I'm convinced that such gods exist, and that people call them gods.

 While I don't believe that it has supernatural powers, I believe that some people believe it does, and the collective effects of the brains of the people who do believe in it result in some things happening that would not ordinarily happen. Perfectly healthy people can get sick or die as a result of this god. I don't claim that to be an effect of the lump of timber, but as a result of the beliefs. Can that be defined as supernatural? I don't know. Define supernatural, and while you're at it, define god and define religion.

It's much the same idea with the Christian god for that matter. Religions exist and gods exist as psycho-social phenomona.

...

I therefore claim to be a theist and an atheist. To be precise,  every second Thursday, I'm neither, because I'm a Buddhist. Prove me wrong. Remember the burden of proof is on you, but in order to prove it, you need to come up with a definition of god that works for all theistic religions, otherwise you can only claim to be an atheist of the Christian denomination. Don't go on about bible bashers, because I'm not one, and we don't have any here any more.  

Sprint - feel free to split this thread.

It's not about good blokes and bad blokes. It's about good arguments and bad arguments.

Although I have no belief in Christian or Muslim mythology, I still recognise religions as having a considerable influence in the world.

It's easy to dismiss religion, dismiss left/right wind politics (delete according to taste) or dismiss tea because of a personal dislike.

The fact is that human beings cling to irrational beliefs. You just have to follow the stockmarket to realise that. Can you buy the fact that the stockmarket can have anthropomorphic qualities? It can be confident or nervous, bullish or bearish. Yet if we stop believing in the intrinsic worth of things, it can lead to very real consequences. High risk shares can lose their value overnight.

Can you follow my argument that religions can be just as real as the stockmarket, even though both have elements that are ostensibly "all in the mind" They both share very human characteristics. You can ignore the stockmarket... and politics....and even religion at your peril.

If it comes to the stage where nobody has any religion, then religion will be nothing. The same goes for the stock-market, politics and the price of diamonds for that matter. They all hinge on the beliefs of humanity.

If everybody is dying of thirst or hunger, diamonds have no intrinsic value. The same goes for money. If people stop believing in all imaginary concepts, we'll be in dire straits.

Did you ever see the Viggo Mortensen movie - "The Road"?
- or the Kevin Costner movie - "The Postman"

It wasn't the question of whether the US Government existed or not. It was whether or not people believed that it did.

Good evening Bobby

Actually .. I used to be VERY religious at one stage .. however these days I prefer to take a back seat and quietly believe in God (even though I have heaps of questions regarding Him) .. and I make sure I stay well away from the hypocrisy of organised religion.

In answer to your question .. IF/WHEN I marry again .. there will be no church involvement whatsover. I would like my 2nd wedding to be nothing like my 1st (which was HUGE ie 300 guests, EXPENSIVE and took place in a landmark CATHEDRAL in Sydney).

Nothing would please me more than to quietly jet out of Sydney with my fiance to some romantic island for a small/special beach wedding/honeymoon for a week Smiley

Regards

Lisa

"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD.
      "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.
      I will be their God, and they will be my people.

      No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD.
      "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

My god is made of wood. I bought it in Africa. It cost me about $50. I knocked him down from about $150. He tried to get me to buy two for $100, but I didn't need two

I'd really like to see you prove that it doesn't exist, because I can touch it, feel it and smell it, and I was assured by the person who sold it to me that it was a genuine African god.  I've since seen one on Ebay that was very similar, so I'm convinced that such gods exist, and that people call them gods.


I know you think that's a clever argument, but all you've actually done is invoke the equivocation fallacy.  I can name my toothbrush 'god' and say the words 'god exists' on that basis.  However, in doing so all I have done is create a new defnition of 'god' and attempt to apply that definition to existing definitions.

Using the same logic I place a black feather on a scale, note that due to it's lack of mass, the feather is light and therefore cannot be dark.

muso wrote on Jul 24th, 2010 at 9:45am:
It's much the same idea with the Christian god for that matter. Religions exist and gods exist as psycho-social phenomona.

And now you're equivocating on the concept of 'existence'.  Clearly existence in the mind is not the same kind of existence as existence in reality.

Your arguments are entirely fallacious.

No they're not.  Cool  All religions define their gods differently, but you don't call up the equivocation fallacy for them. Besides, not even Christians consider God to exist as part of the natural universe. How do you define "exist" outside the laws of physics?

In that respect gods do not exist, but nobody is saying that. As I understand it, some religious people claim that god transcends the natural universe.

What's the difference between that and existing as a psycho-social phenomenon?

One very respected religious person says this:

Quote:
Sri Chinmoy: God is beyond definition. But according to one's own vision or receptivity, one will define God in one's own way. Some will say that God is all Love. Others will say that God is all Power.


Now that's somebody who claims to know something about god. I stand by this statement, and I say that my god is not all love, not all power. In fact my god is all wood...... and exists as a psycho-social phenomenon.

This is my definition of god according to my private religion, which I term Lumberology. I call my god Woody, I keep him in a cabinet.

It's my right as an Australian citizen to have any religion I choose. I choose Woody, bless his radiant (4 by 4) beams. Now you may consider Woody to be as thick as two short planks, but it's my religion (well I'll try to fit it in some time next month)

Sheesh. Who are you anyway? The god police?

So if you're a true atheist, are you going to exclude this particular god just because it's made of wood?

Yes people have invented thousands of gods over time but they all fall into the basic definition of a supernatural entities with some kind of power and/or jurisdiction.  From that point you can attribute whatever you want to them.  You can make them visible, invisible, universe creators, intervening prayer answerers or whatever you like.  But they are still supernatural entties and that is the definition.

By claiming your lump of wood is god you are creating a new definition.  By claiming that I can't be an atheist becuase I accept your lump of wood god exists, you are switching my definition with a new definition.  That's equivocation.

Following your logic, I could create a new definition for the word 'paedophile' as a person with two functioning legs and then have you arrested for raping children.

If there is indeed such a place as 'outside the universe', it would still be a place.  If a thing 'be' in a a'place' you exists regardless of where the place is.

Because something 'existing' in the mind doesn't exist at all in any real sense.  It is merely an arangement of neurons.  The arrangement of neurons exist but an arrangement of neurons depicting a god isn't a god any more than a picture of my mother is my mother.

Yes, cowardly religious types love to attempt to hide their imaginary friends from scrutiny by making claims like they are beyond definition.  All that achieves however, is unfalsifiability. Something scientists refer to as 'not even wrong'.  Unfalsifiability is worse than being falsified because it renders your hypothesis completely pointless.

Yes.  And I say I believe in your god but because it doesn't come anywhere near being encompassed by the definition of a 'god' that atheists don't beleive in, I am still an atheist.

So what are you? (or me for that matter) - Can we be defined in terms of a collection of atoms?

Perhaps so, but the set of atoms we have right now is a completely different set to that when we were 10 years younger.

So we can't define ourselves as a set of atoms any more than we can define waves as ocean water, because the wave travels through the water molecules and can't be defined in terms of a set of atoms either.

In that respect, we are more like a wave than a fixed set of atoms, such as a rock.

For psycho-social gods, you almost got it right, but it's not the neurons themselves that make up the thought processes, it's the firing of electrons, and the transfer of these electrons between Neurons and synapses. Electrons can also be described in terms of waves of energy.  So this psycho-social god is not so much different from a human being in that respect.

Would you like to make a tax-free donation to the Church of Lumberology?

Good. You'd probably believe in the Jainist God too then.  It's just a collection of minds connected by the normal sensory inputs and outputs that we use to communicate between ourselves.

Ha ha .. you're testing me out ???

I probably should tell you .. I was an grade A student at Sunday School lol .. and I almost became a missionary (went to Uni instead)lol Tongue

Now .. let me try and remember lol Tongue

In the beginning ---> in the beginning of time ie some time frame VERY early on.

The Bible doesnt specify in years exactly when this was ..however, the Bible does tell us that GOD made the earth at this early time interval BEFORE he made the world (ie the "stuff" inside the earth).

When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples, "As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified."

Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they plotted to arrest Jesus in some sly way and kill him.
"But not during the Feast," they said, "or there may be a riot among the people."
While Jesus was in Bethany in the home of a man known as Simon the Leper, a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, which she poured on his head as he was reclining at the table.
When the disciples saw this, they were indignant. "Why this waste?" they asked. "This perfume could have been sold at a high price and the money given to the poor."

Aware of this, Jesus said to them, "Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."

who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace.
This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Luke 6:27, 28

I like these 2 verses because they present a confronting daily challenge for me.

I have a tendency to love my friends, to do good to those who've been good to me and to bless those who've been kind to me. Oh and I seem to pray for those I'm close to.

Hmmm ..

Proverbs 31:10-31

The Wife of Noble Character

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
      She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
      and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
      all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
      and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
      bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
      she provides food for her family
      and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
      out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
      her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
      and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
      and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
      and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
      for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
      she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
      where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
      and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
      she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
      and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
      and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
      her husband also, and he praises her:

29 "Many women do noble things,
      but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
      but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Give her the reward she has earned,
      and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Yes! That is indeed a good verse Deborah!

Here's another I quite like ...


For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Quote:
Matthew 7:21-23
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'

23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'



I would quirry 23. Perhaps it would be more correct to say you never knew god.

One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him.

When Jesus saw what was happening, he was angry with his disciples. He said to them, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.

I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn't receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.

Then he took the children in his arms and placed his hands on their heads and blessed them.

There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.

For you have delivered me from death and my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before God in the light of life.

My observation is that whenever one person makes a statement, another person somewhere will say that it's wrong, or a lie. If you say that something is white, somebody somewhere will say that it's actually black - it's just human nature.

It doesn't have to be the Bible, but it's currently fashionable to 'bash' that particular holy book.

If you find inspiration in the Bible, then that's a good thing. What you get from it depends as much on your attitude. Sometimes it's better to take a childlike approach rather than a cynical one (note Lisa's quote from Mark 10) because you'll get more out of it.

The Bible, the Veda, the Torah and the Avesta to name four of the holy books, represent the collected wisdom of many generations. It's all a question of how you read them.

Quote:
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.
Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
“This, then, is how you should pray:

   “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.




matthew 6:5 - 14

There's a LOT implied in that quote.
A LOT to be read into it.

That was played at my uncle's funeral (damn I am so involved with funerals these days) and it summed him up to a certain degree, but not to the most degree. I'll always remember that song now for the impact it had at my uncle's funeral.

Tunes do have a way of conveying what words cannot. I think that (relatively) modern tunes have a place in the religious world when done properly.

Matthew 27:24
New International Version (NIV)
24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”

25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”

26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

The Soldiers Mock Jesus

27 Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him. 28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. 30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
The Crucifixion of Jesus

32 As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross. 33 They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”). 34 There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it. 35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. 36 And sitting down, they kept watch over him there. 37 Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38 Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads 40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!” 41 In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him. 42 “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! He’s the king of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 In the same way the rebels who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

The Death of Jesus

45 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[c] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).[d]
47 When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling Elijah.”

48 Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. 49 The rest said, “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”

50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split 52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. 53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[e] went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

54 When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, “Surely he was the Son of God!”

The Quran, al-Maidah, v17
Surely, in blasphemy are they who say that God is the Christ, son of Mary. Say: "Who then has the least power against God, if He were to destroy the Christ, son of Mary, his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And God is Able to do all things.

Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests

    Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death.  Such evil must be purged from Israel.  (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)



Kill Witches

    You should not let a sorceress live.  (Exodus 22:17 NAB)



Kill Homosexuals
    "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."  (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)



Kill Fortunetellers

    A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death.  (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)



Death for Hitting Dad

    Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death.  (Exodus 21:15 NAB)



Death for Cursing Parents

    1) If one curses his father or mother, his lamp will go out at the coming of darkness.  (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)

    2) All who curse their father or mother must be put to death.  They are guilty of a capital offense.  (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)



Death for Adultery

    If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death.  (Leviticus 20:10 NLT)



Death for Fornication

    A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death.  (Leviticus 21:9 NAB)



Death to Followers of Other Religions

    Whoever sacrifices to any god, except the Lord alone, shall be doomed.  (Exodus 22:19 NAB)



Kill Nonbelievers

    They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.  (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)



Kill False Prophets

    If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord."  When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through.  (Zechariah 13:3 NAB)



Kill the Entire Town if One Person Worships Another God

    Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods.  In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully.  If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.  Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it.  Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God.  That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.  Keep none of the plunder that has been set apart for destruction.  Then the LORD will turn from his fierce anger and be merciful to you.  He will have compassion on you and make you a great nation, just as he solemnly promised your ancestors.  "The LORD your God will be merciful only if you obey him and keep all the commands I am giving you today, doing what is pleasing to him."  (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)



Kill Women Who Are Not Virgins On Their Wedding Night

    But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house.  Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.  (Deuteronomy  22:20-21 NAB)



Kill Followers of Other Religions.

    1) If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him.  Your hand shall be the first raised to slay him; the rest of the people shall join in with you.  You shall stone him to death, because he sought to lead you astray from the Lord, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that place of slavery.  And all Israel, hearing of this, shall fear and never do such evil as this in your midst.  (Deuteronomy 13:7-12 NAB)



    2) Suppose a man or woman among you, in one of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, has done evil in the sight of the LORD your God and has violated the covenant by serving other gods or by worshiping the sun, the moon, or any of the forces of heaven, which I have strictly forbidden.  When you hear about it, investigate the matter thoroughly. If it is true that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, then that man or woman must be taken to the gates of the town and stoned to death.  (Deuteronomy 17:2-5 NLT)



Death for Blasphemy

    One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father got into a fight with one of the Israelite men.  During the fight, this son of an Israelite woman blasphemed the LORD's name.  So the man was brought to Moses for judgment.  His mother's name was Shelomith. She was the daughter of Dibri of the tribe of Dan.  They put the man in custody until the LORD's will in the matter should become clear.  Then the LORD said to Moses, "Take the blasphemer outside the camp, and tell all those who heard him to lay their hands on his head.  Then let the entire community stone him to death.  Say to the people of Israel: Those who blaspheme God will suffer the consequences of their guilt and be punished.  Anyone who blasphemes the LORD's name must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel.  Any Israelite or foreigner among you who blasphemes the LORD's name will surely die.  (Leviticus 24:10-16 NLT)



Kill False Prophets

    1) Suppose there are prophets among you, or those who have dreams about the future, and they promise you signs or miracles,  and the predicted signs or miracles take place.  If the prophets then say, 'Come, let us worship the gods of foreign nations,' do not listen to them.  The LORD your God is testing you to see if you love him with all your heart and soul.  Serve only the LORD your God and fear him alone.  Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.  The false prophets or dreamers who try to lead you astray must be put to death, for they encourage rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of slavery in the land of Egypt.  Since they try to keep you from following the LORD your God, you must execute them to remove the evil from among you.  (Deuteronomy 13:1-5 NLT)



    2) But any prophet who claims to give a message from another god or who falsely claims to speak for me must die.'  You may wonder, 'How will we know whether the prophecy is from the LORD or not?'  If the prophet predicts something in the LORD's name and it does not happen, the LORD did not give the message.  That prophet has spoken on his own and need not be feared.  (Deuteronomy 18:20-22 NLT)



Infidels and Gays Should Die

    So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.  As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other's bodies.  Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies.  So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever.  Amen.  That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires.  Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.  And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other.  Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved.  When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done.  Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, fighting, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.  They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful.  They are forever inventing new ways of sinning and are disobedient to their parents.  They refuse to understand, break their promises, and are heartless and unforgiving.  They are fully aware of God's death penalty for those who do these things, yet they go right ahead and do them anyway.  And, worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.  (Romans 1:24-32 NLT)



Kill Anyone who Approaches the Tabernacle

    For the LORD had said to Moses, 'Exempt the tribe of Levi from the census; do not include them when you count the rest of the Israelites.  You must put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle of the Covenant, along with its furnishings and equipment.  They must carry the Tabernacle and its equipment as you travel, and they must care for it and camp around it.  Whenever the Tabernacle is moved, the Levites will take it down and set it up again.  Anyone else who goes too near the Tabernacle will be executed.'  (Numbers 1:48-51 NLT)



Kill People for Working on the Sabbath

    The LORD then gave these further instructions to Moses: 'Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever.  It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.  Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy.  Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community.  Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest.  I repeat: Because the LORD considers it a holy day, anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.'  (Exodus 31:12-15 NLT)

Mohammed was a man.

Mohammed was not the spirit of truth, from God.

2  The same was in the beginning with God.
3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8  He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9  That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

PoliticalPuppet,  re post #253,

You know nothing.

Posting all of those OT quotes, you are merely displaying your ignorance,
.......for everyone to see.





All of those punishments are directed against Hebrews, exclusively.

Against Hebrews covenant breakers.


Numbers 30:2
If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.




The Hebrew people were 'in-covenant', with their God.

"...And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do...."
Exodus 19:5-8





Leviticus 20:24
...I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.

Leviticus 20:26
And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Deuteronomy 7:6
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.





PoliticalPuppet,

Go and read your Bible, and stop being such an ignorant, twisted, git.



Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:

Nobody in history fits the description of the Comforter except Muhammed:

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will sent him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment [who has laid down the law of God since Jesus except for muhammed?]. ... I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak [the Quran].. and he will show  you things to come [the many prophecies foretold by Prophet Muhammed]. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
(John 16:7-14)



The fact is that before Jesus, Moses had also foretold of a great prophet in clear and precise words. When Moses went to Mount Horeb under the command of God he addressed the Israelites saying:

The Lord thy God will raise unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren [the Arabs], like unto me [a law giver], unto him ye shall hearken. (Deuteronomy 18:15)

And again, God's words to Moses:

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren [the Arabs], like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth  and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him [the Quran]. And it shall come to pass that, whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
(Deuteronomy 18:18-19)


That he was to be a Law-giver and not an ordinary Prophet is obvious from the words "like unto Moses", since Moses was also a Law-giver. The promulgation of "a new Law" means the initiation of a new movement, a new nation. A prophet with a new Law is obviously no ordinary teacher or reformer. He has to present a comprehensive teaching, incorporating fundamental principles as well as detailed rules.

Was Jesus such a prophet? Was he a Law-giver? Did he bring a new Law into the world to replace an old one? The answer, in his  own words:

Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto You, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled.
(Matthew 5:17-18)


Thus Jesus denied being either John the Baptist or Elias or one of the prophets. Muhammad was proclaimed as not only a prophet but also as "like unto Moses," when the Quran said:

Verily We have sent to you a Messenger [Muhammed], who is a witness over you, even as we sent a Messenger [Moses] to Pharaoh.
(The Holy Quran 73:16)

The prophecies of the Bible had even led its followers to that part of the world where the great Prophet was to appear. Thus it was said:

And he said, the Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; and shined forth from Mount Paran and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. (Deuteronomy 33:2)

In this verse Moses is promised three manifestations of the glory of God. The first of these appeared on Sinai in the time of Moses. Time passed. The second manifestation promised in the prophecy was to take place at Seir, a part of the world near where the miracles of Jesus took place. "Rising up from Seir," therefore, meant the advent of Jesus.

The third manifestation of divine glory was to take its rise from Paran, and Paran (Arabic Faran) is the name of the hills which lie between Mecca, the birth place of Muhammad, and Medina, the town where he died. According to the Old Testament, Ishmael, the ancestor of Muhammad, lived in this part. Thus we have in the Bible:

And God was with the lad (Ishmael): and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran. (Genesis 21:20-21)

Historical and geographical evidence shows that the descendents of Abraham lived in Arabia. All of them held Mecca and Kaaba, the house of worship built by Abraham, in great reverence. His son Ishmael first settled in Mecca. Genesis gives the names of twelve sons of Ishmael including two named Tema and Kedar. (Genesis 25:13-16) This is further supported by the testimony of Isaiah where we read:

The burden of Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye traveling companies of Dedanim.The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they provided with their bread him that fled. For they fled from the swords, from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it. (Isaiah 21:13-16)

This prophetic passage is a picture of the Battle of Badr  which took place about a year after the Holy Prophet's migration from Mecca to Medina. In this battle the sons of Kedar , the people of Mecca and the territories around, unable to withstand the fierceness of Muslim swordsmen and archers, sustained disastrous defeat. God made a handful of men, poorly armed and without provisions, the means of inflicting this humiliation on an army led by experienced generals.

The battles with the Meccans continued against heavy odds until such time that the Prophet Muhammad entered Mecca after a struggle of several years. This was the time when ten thousands of saints accompanied him. The Holy Prophet declared that the message of God had been completed in the form of the Holy Quran. Thus the prophecy of Moses was fulfilled that the Lord would shine forth from Paran with ten thousands of saints, with a fiery Law in his right hand. Thus also the prophecy of Jesus was fulfilled that the spirit of Truth "will guide you into all truth." His fiery Law, the Holy Quran, consumed all impurities of flesh and turned the grossest hearts into pure gold.

Could Jesus have fulfilled this wonderful prophecy? He did not rise from Paran. He had only twelve disciples and not ten thousand saints. Isaiah had spoken of one that fled; the flight of Muhammad is such an important part of Muslim history that the Islamic calendar starts from the very year of migration.

No. It just means that the Bible has been corrupted. Let's face it, the church had a difficult time even deciding which books were really accurate enough to put in the Bible weren't they. In the end, the Trinitarians took over the Roman Empire, but there was no consensus on the issue for the three centuries before the council of Nicea in 325. No consensus on doctrine nor books.

The Bible says somewhere that no man is allowed to change even one word of it.
So - you're wrong.

They do not! They represent some of the wisdom and some of the stupidity. It's not a question of 'how' they're read, so much as 'who' reads them. We have entire industries that have grown up reinterpreting plain English to suit, ie 'The Law'.

religion is nothing but the most absurd game of chinese whispers.

Seems like Kony was right, if you believe this crap..

Quote:
"You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword," says the LORD.  And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist.  He will destroy Assyria and make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert.  The city that once was so proud will become a pasture for sheep and cattle.  All sorts of wild animals will settle there.  Owls of many kinds will live among the ruins of its palaces, hooting from the gaping windows.  Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will lie open to the wind and weather.  This is the fate of that boisterous city, once so secure.  "In all the world there is no city as great as I," it boasted.  But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a place where animals live!  Everyone passing that way will laugh in derision or shake a defiant fist.   (Zephaniah 2:12-15 NLT)

At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

So when the crowd (of Jews) had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

For he knew it was out of envy that they (Jews) had handed Jesus over to him.

While Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him this message: "Don't have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him."

But the chief priests and the elders (from the Jews) persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

"Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" asked the governor. "Barabbas," they (Jews) answered.

"What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?" Pilate asked. They (Jews) all answered, "Crucify him!"

"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they (Jews) shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"

All the people (Jews) answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"

The blood [the 'sealing'] of the OLD covenant.....

Exodus 24:8
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.






Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

Matthew 27:25
Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.



Hebrews 12:22
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23  To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24  And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Psalm 1:1

Quote:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

What % of atheists of this generation, are open minded enough to have read the Bible ?

My experience in this forum, is that many atheists dismiss its worth [just as a cultural literary work] out of hand.



Dictionary;
bigot = = a person who is prejudiced in their views and intolerant of the opinions of others.


The word 'prejudiced' means to pre-judge, OR, to judge in ignorance, without full knowledge.

I read an article today that discussed how Sir David Attenborough gets hate mail.

"What's to hate?" you may ask.

Well,
the hate mail stems from the fact that Attenborough is an atheist.

According to the article, Attenborough said that
his "Christian" critics tell him "to burn in hell."
He said that they don't understand how he can look at the beauty in the world and deny the existence of God. He acknowledges that when they say "beauty" they are referring to "beautiful things like hummingbirds."







He said that his response to this is:

"I think of a little child in east Africa with a worm burrowing through his eyeball. The worm cannot live in any other way, except by burrowing through eyeballs. I find that hard to reconcile with the notion of a divine and benevolent creator"







http://www.examiner.com/atheism-in-national/funny-atheist-quote-from-david-atten...









I don't go in for ancient wisdom
I don't believe just 'cos ideas are tenacious it means they are worthy

I get freaked out by churches
Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy

And yes I have all of the usual objections
To the miseducation of children who, in tax-exempt institutions,
Are taught to externalise blame
And to feel ashamed and to judge things as plain right and wrong
But I quite like the songs

I'm not expecting big presents
The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me

Cos I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun
I'll be seeing my dad
My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum
They'll be drinking white wine in the sun

Most atheists HAVE read the bible.

That's WHY they are atheists.



No-one with even a modicum of sense and rational thinking skills  who reads the bible (old and new testaments) could come to any other conclusion that it's bunkum.

Evil , destructive bunkum.



It's the happy clappers with their mindless prattling about "god is love" and "jesus loves you" that havent bothered to open the bloody (and I do mean bloody) book.

They are brainwashed and kept from the truth by their pastors and priests.

If they DID read what a monster their god is they wouldnt worship him for long.

It's not just life that aint pretty in the bible.


It's the god contained within.

As you have read it you know what I'm talking about.

That god is an evil , murderous , jealous , genocidal manipulative monster.

Not worthy of anyones RESPECT let alone love and worship.


And THAT'S their gods own BIOGRAPHY. AUTOBIOGRAPHY if you believe the believers.



If more christians actually read the nonsense in Deuteronomy and leviticus (just for starters) and got to know their god , his wants , actions and personality they COULD not worship him.

dark said.....

".....god is an evil , murderous , jealous , genocidal manipulative monster."



Not so.

God, the God of Israel, is a god who loves justice and righteousness.

Justice and righteousness, are the product of truth and judgement.



Proverbs 28:4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.






dark,

Those who hate the God of the Bible, hate him because he is a God of righteousness and judgement.

And they DO NOT want their reckless [if not wicked] conduct to be judged, and brought to the light.

Such people are in rebellion, against God's righteousness.

Such people do not want to be held accountable, for the [real] consequences of their choices.



John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Yadda you KNOW what a monster your god is.

You've read the bible.


You've read what god commanded his followers to do.



You KNOW he's a monster but you dont want to BELIEVE it.

I understand that.

You have invested your whole life (and afterlife) in the belief of this gods justice , compassion , righteousness and sanity.


It would be INCREDIBLY hard for you to fight against your desire for your god to be a kind one , who will reward you for your belief and worship.


But you KNOW he's a monster yadda.

You KNOW IT.

You've read it but your mind is ignoring the monstrous bits and cherry picking the less monstrous bits.



Your god DEMANDED the genocide of whole populations of people (because they werent jewish).

You god rewarded insane , brutal monsters for doing insane brutal , monstrous things in HIS NAME.


You know this more than most christians because you've read it.


You are experiencing cognitive dissonance .





Come on.


Be honest.

However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you.  You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land.  You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.  You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.

Joshua




So Joshua defeated the whole land, the hill country and the Negeb and the lowland and the slopes, and all their kings; he left no one remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the God of Israel commanded.

(11:1-4) People of Hazor, Madon, Shimron, Achshaph, northern hill country, Arabah, Naphoth-dor, Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites and the Hivites unite against the Israelites.

(11:14) All the spoil of these towns, and the livestock, the Israelites took for their booty; but all the people they struck down with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any who breathed.

(11:20) For it was God’s doing to harden their hearts (the Canaanites) so that they would come against Israel in battle, in order that they might be utterly destroyed, and might receive no mercy, but be exterminated, just as God had commanded Moses.

You've read it but your mind is ignoring the monstrous bits and cherry picking the less monstrous bits.



Your god DEMANDED the genocide of whole populations of people (because they werent jewish).

You god rewarded insane , brutal monsters for doing insane brutal , monstrous things in HIS NAME.


You know this more than most christians because you've read it.


You are experiencing cognitive dissonance .





Come on.


Be honest.





Be honest, yourself.


dark said.....
"Your god DEMANDED the genocide of whole populations of people (because they werent jewish)."


That is a lie.




The Joshua quotes ?

Yes, and ?


Joshua 11:10
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
11  And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
12  And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.


Yes, God is cruel and ruthless, isn't he ?
/sarc off

No.

He is not.



dark,

Clearly, you want to believe that God [your creator] is cruel and ruthless.

Believe whatever you will [believe what you want to believe].

Its OK.

We all do, [believe what we want to believe].




Again....

Proverbs 28:4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.
5  Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.




We can choose to be close to, and to 'tolerate' evil, or we can choose [to seek] to be close to God.

That choice is black and white.

It is a 'black and white' choice, because the vile and the holy [like light and darkness] cannot dwell together.

That is the lesson, the truth, which we will either accept, or choose to discard.

And if we discard and reject THAT truth, God will discard us.




Psalms 5:4
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.



dark,

Like so many, you have chosen, to hate the purity of God.

Like so many, you have chosen the darkness.

And you have chosen to curse God, who is righteous and just.

Because you hate the light.

Be honest.

Yes you are.


6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.



2:11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
2:12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.


21:34 And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.      (21:34-35)

21:35 So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.

God Will Kill Ethiopia 



    "You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword," says the LORD.  And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist.  He will destroy Assyria and make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert.  The city that once was so proud will become a pasture for sheep and cattle.  All sorts of wild animals will settle there.  Owls of many kinds will live among the ruins of its palaces, hooting from the gaping windows.  Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will lie open to the wind and weather.  This is the fate of that boisterous city, once so secure.  "In all the world there is no city as great as I," it boasted.  But now, look how it has become an utter ruin, a place where animals live!  Everyone passing that way will laugh in derision or shake a defiant fist.   (Zephaniah 2:12-15 NLT)

Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
7  He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.
8  Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Proverbs 15:9

It is folly to 'trust in' those things which we can plainly see, in this world.
This world is an intentional [and persistent] distraction, and a lie.
I hate this world [and my own weakness].
The day that this body 'ends' can't come soon enough for me.
I have seen enough.

In our every waking moment, our bodily senses tempt and entice us to 'trust in' what we see, to 'trust in' what is temporal.
It seems obvious to us that we should 'trust in' what we see, and that we should 'trust in' what we perceive to be real.
But this world is full of SATAN's deceitfulness and cunning.

Trust in God's righteousness [or, love the world].






Psalms 62:1
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation.
2  He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
3  How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.
4  They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.
5  My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
6  He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.
7  In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8  Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.
9  Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.
10  Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
12  Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.


Matthew 6:21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.


Isaiah 33:5
The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

This is your Easter message:

Luke 12:22-31

King James Version (KJV)

Quote:
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.

31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you




Matthew 7 (King James Version)


Quote:
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 5

New King James Version (NKJV)
The Beatitudes

Quote:
5 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
    For they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
    For they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    For they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
    For they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
    For they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
    For they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
    For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Mark  KJV

Quote:
[14] Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

[15] And saying,

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Strange how Jesus was talking about taking up the cross or
carrying the cross before he was actually crucified?

How did he know he was going to be crucified?

http://biblehub.com/mark/10-21.htm

Quote:
That clause, "take up the cross", is omitted in the Vulgate Latin version, as it is not mentioned by Matthew. The Ethiopic version reads it, "the cross of thy death", and places it before, "come and follow me"; as do also the Syriac and Persic versions; but the Arabic reads it last of all; See Gill on Matthew 19:21.

Dear Death,
I am surprised because my late Aunty did a thesis on the Bible -
fully translating it from ancient Greek.
She told me that the KJV translation was highly accurate.

Both you & Muso seem to have discovered an error.

There are examples of mistranslations in the New testament... A glaring one is Matthew 21 1:7, where he has Jesus entering Jerusalem simultaneously riding on 2 donkeys at the same time. The writer(s) of Matthew is clearly not a Hebrew speaker nor understands Hebrew grammar in his / their attempt to link Jesus stories with Old Testament prophesies.

Yes - you have a point:


Matt.21  KJV

Quote:
[1] And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
[2] Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
[3] And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
[4] All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
[5] Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
[6] And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
[7] And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.

A mistranslation ? Yes, that's about what I'ld think.
Would it be like watching a movie in different languages?
There will be variations between versions. But both will tell the same story.

Translate a poem into 3 languages, yes, there will be variations.

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,  so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

Romans 12:3 NIV

"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought..........".
No, but some of us can reasonably  think of ourselves quite highly.
It is not higher than we ought ........

Think well of yourself.

'In that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the creatures that move along the ground.
Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety.

I will betroth you to me forever;
I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion.
I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord.

“In that day I will respond,” declares the Lord—“I will respond to the skies, and they will respond to the earth;
and the earth will respond to the grain, the new wine and the olive oil, and they will respond to Jezreel.

I will plant her for myself in the land;
I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.’
I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’; and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”

Hosea 2:18-23

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness.
You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

Matthew 23:23


“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

I think it was “Blessed are the cheesemakers.”
Aha, what’s so special about the cheesemakers?
Well, obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

Quote:
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?

“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith!
And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.
But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.


Luke 12:22-31

The light id is not a christian anyway according to christian doctrine and Peter repented. There is no comparison by the light id poster and Jesus Christ at all. According to Jesus christ the light poster is a false prophet if in fact anyone seriously thinks he is a prophet at all.

The light poster is lost in indian mythology and mixes all religions up to suit his own itching ears so he hears only what he wants to hear. Much like you do. He is lost at the moment. The blind following the blind , both will fall into a ditch.

2 Timothy 4:2-4

Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Much like thinking the gospel message has remotely something to do with Copper Pyramids sending beams of energy to an alien photon belt surrounding the earth LOL.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of LIGHT. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

1 John 4:1

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Matthew 24:24

For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Matthew 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Matthew 7:15

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

" Do unto others as you would have them do unto you ... "

" ... This so-called golden rule is stated in just about every ancient writing about behavioral precepts (including the New Testament, Talmud, Koran, and the Analects of Confucius). Among the earliest appearances in English is Earl Rivers' translation of a saying of Socrates ( Dictes and Sayenges of the Philosophirs, 1477): “Do to other as thou wouldst they should do to thee, and do to none other but as thou wouldst be done to.” It is so well known that it is often shortened.  " http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/do+unto+others+as+you+would+have+them+do+...

Seems fairly simple to me.

Despite having converted to agnosticism after an epiphany on the way to being routinely and compulsorily frog-marched to Sunday church while a student at a boarding school - I still believe some of the most beautiful prose ever written in the English language can be found in the King James version of the Bible.

Definitely one of the best:

'The LORD is my shepherd ; I shall not want .

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies : thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever'.


***

And now contrast this King James version with the vandalised versions put forward by idiots who have no music in their souls:

Is it any wonder that today's school kids are semi-literate at best, and functionally illiterate at worst.

Quote:
Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.”

After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable.  “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?  For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard.
She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.

Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly.

“Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”

I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken.
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

All the believers were one in heart and mind.
No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had.
With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus.
And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death......

......... For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.
And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

Rev 19  KJV


Quote:
[19] And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

[20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

[21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

    [29] And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

    [30] And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband.
Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband?
Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?


1 Corinthians 7:12,15


This quote was good for me.
Many years ago when I became a Christian my wife was not a Christian.
As the quote says, so what. Love her. Her being a Christian or not is up to her.
She was a good woman and still is.

Whew!!!....how convenient.

So only one member of the family needs to be a believer and the whole crowd are saved, whoever thought that one up was a genius.

These scriptures are both instructive and ennobling:


Proverbs 31 : 10 - 31


The Honourable Woman

Who can find a capable wife?
Her value far exceeds the finest jewels.

Her husband has full confidence in her;
as a result, he lacks nothing of value.

She will bring good to him—never evil
every day of her life.

She seeks out wool and flax,
working with eager hands.

She is like a seagoing ship
that brings her food from far away.

She rises while it is still night,
preparing meals for her family
and providing for her women servants.

She evaluates a field and purchases it;
from the proceeds she plants a vineyard.

She clothes herself with fortitude,
and fortifies her arms with strength.

She is confident that her profits are sufficient.
Her lamp does not go out at night.

She works with her own hands on her clothes -
her hands work the sewing spindle.

She reaches out to the poor,
opening her hands to those in need.

She is unafraid of winter’s effect on her household,
because all of them are warmly clothed.

She creates her own bedding,
using fine linen and violet cloth.

Her husband is well known;
he sits among the leaders of the land.

She designs and sells linen garments,
supplying accessories to clothiers.

Strength and dignity are her garments;
she smiles about the future.

She speaks wisely,
teaching with gracious love.

She looks discretely to the affairs of her household,
and she is never lazy.

Her children stand up and encourage her,
as does her husband, who praises her:

"Many women have done wonderful things,” he says, but you surpass all of them!”

Charm is deceitful and beauty fades;
but a woman who fears the LORD will be praised.

Reward her for her work—
let her actions result in public praise.

According to my ex Pastor that's how it works.

One of the congregation had a son dying of cancer, he wasn't 'saved', she was worried of course lest he go down there.

The Pastor said....fear not, he is saved through you....and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Pansi - I think it is up to everyone to find their own salvation.

I think that quotes says a christians kids won't be 'disadvantaged' if their other parent is not a christian.

Goes under the chapter where a chritian is married to a non christian.

“All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father,
and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Ezekiel 7:19
....their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
20  As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
21  And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22  My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23  Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24  Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
25  Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26  Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27  The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Ecclesiastes 4

New International Version (NIV)


1 Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun:
I saw the tears of the oppressed—
    and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors—
    and they have no comforter.
2 And I declared that the dead,
    who had already died,
are happier than the living,
    who are still alive.
3 But better than both
    is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
    that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 4

New International Version (NIV)


1 Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun:
I saw the tears of the oppressed—
    and they have no comforter;
power was on the side of their oppressors—
    and they have no comforter.
2 And I declared that the dead,
    who had already died,
are happier than the living,
    who are still alive.
3 But better than both
    is the one who has never been born,
who has not seen the evil
    that is done under the sun.


I read this to my husband tonight then asked him what he thought.

His response? Depressing.

My response? Sometimes the reality of our human condition needs to be seen for what it truly is.

His response? It's better if you don't do that.

My response? But why?

His response? Because it will result in you talking for the next hour while I'm trying to read this report.

But dear Lisa - there is more:

Luke 8  KJV


[16] No man, when he hath lighted a candle,
covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed;
but setteth it on a candlestick,
that they which enter in may see the light.


[17] For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
neither any thing hid,
that shall not be known and come abroad.

KJV


Psalms 1:1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.


John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.


Psalms 34:7
The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.


Psalms 73:1
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Whew!!!....how convenient.

So only one member of the family needs to be a believer and the whole crowd are saved, whoever thought that one up was a genius.




Dame Pansi,

Not so.

Your assumption/assertion, is in error,          imo.






According to my ex Pastor that's how it works.

One of the congregation had a son dying of cancer, he wasn't 'saved', she was worried of course lest he go down there.

The Pastor said....fear not, he is saved through you....and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.


Sadly there are many so called "pastors" who give false information. And one day I am sure he will answer for it.

To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you



If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death




A woman should learn in quietness and full submission

That's correct.

As Christians we're guided by Jesus Christ and what He says.

Incidentally, Jesus appears in The New Testament of The Holy Bible.

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.


Psalms 17:1
Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2  Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3  Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4  Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5  Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6  I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7  Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

Matt.7  KJV


[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.

[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

[4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

[5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

[6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

[7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

[8] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

[9] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

[11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

[12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.

"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."


"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."


"...worship God."

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city."





Revelation 12:17

Revelation 14:12

Revelation 22:14


QUESTIONS;
Why was it, do you think,           that the dragon was 'wroth with the woman' [and with the remnant of her seed] ?

Was it because 'the woman' and the remnant of her seed would not worship the dragon ?

How could the dragon tell, that 'the woman' and the remnant of her seed, did not worship him ?




These are spiritual things.

One day god showed up to kill his buddy Moses. His wife Zipporah mutilated her son's penis and rubbed it on Moses' feet.

This act of genital mutilation pleased that sick pervert god so much he decided not to kill Moses.

It is a beautiful thing, The Book of Proverbs....


Proverbs 16:1
The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
2  All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3  Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
4  The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5  Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7  When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8  Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.
9  A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
10  A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11  A just weight and balance are the LORD'S: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12  It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13  Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14  The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15  In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16  How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17  The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18  Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19  Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20  He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21  The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22  Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23  The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24  Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26  He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27  An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28  A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29  A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30  He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31  The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32  He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
33  The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume.
As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears.
Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”

Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”

“Tell me, teacher,” he said.

“Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”

Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”

“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.

Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

I first read this a decade ago. Truly read it.
It is an amazing portion of the Bible.
It so shows the human nature, relationships.
When you put it into context of the times and 'who was who' ..........

Jesus was and is a rivetting person.

Hey Marla,

Rest assured, i don't believe in such a myth.





Psalms 14:1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
2  The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
3  They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
No one calls on your name or strives to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and have given us over to our sins.
Yet you, Lord, are our Father.
We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.
Do not be angry beyond measure, Lord; do not remember our sins forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray, for we are all your people.

I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites.
I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.
I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, Lord, proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds.

Lord, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells.
Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with those who are bloodthirsty, in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes.
I lead a blameless life; deliver me and be merciful to me.

My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the Lord.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

There is one of Jesus more confusing quotes.
I doubt Jesus is saying "Rich people are not coming to Heaven."
That'ld be contrary to what the NT is all about.
Jesus was really rich.




Quote:
................The "Eye of the Needle" has been claimed to be a gate in Jerusalem, which opened after the main gate was closed at night.
A camel could only pass through this smaller gate if it was stooped and had its baggage removed.
This story has been put forth since at least the 15th century, and possibly as far back as the 9th century............

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13: 6-7


This one also is meaningful.

Yes.

Evil is not the truth,        and the truth is not evil.

Truth, and evil,       are always mutually opposing 'entities'.



While 'light' and truth are often seen as being synonymous, in scripture.

as per.....

John 3:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Truth, is presented as a cleansing 'light',    is the light, which exposes the fault and error of evil.





sprint,

I would argue, that scripture indicates that liberty, and truth, and judgment, and righteousness, and lovingkindness, are all inextricably linked.


Psalms 119:29
Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.
30  I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.


Psalms 119:43
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
44  So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.
45  And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.


Psalms 119:150
They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
151  Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.


Jeremiah 9:24
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.



Jesus words....

John 18:37
...for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Truth opposes evil, and vice versa.

addendum to Reply #483

John 8:39
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41  Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42  Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43  Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15  For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Jesus' msg of love man......




Nom De Plume,

The message of your post is correct.



Truth opposes evil, and vice versa.

Light opposes darkness, and vice versa.

There is a spiritual war going on, for the souls of men, which is being played out here, in this realm.



Again....

John 8:39
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41  Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42  Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43  Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.


Galatians 4:22
For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
23  But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
24  Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
25  For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
26  But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27  For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
28  Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
29  But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
30  Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
31  So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.


Hebrews 12:6
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10  For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

I love the human personalities shown in The Bible


Quote:
Now King David was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.”
So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.
When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.
Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.

As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.

They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord. After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.
Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women.
And all the people went to their homes.

When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”

David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”

And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.

Luke 10:25
And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.

Ancient Jacob had 12 sons.

But today, only one [of these sons] is still plainly identifiable, in the world.


Genesis 49:8
Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
9  Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
10  The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.



Q.
Have all of the other 'sons' of Jacob, been 'mingled' among mankind, and lost, in the course of human history ?

Some people, many, assume so.


Deuteronomy 32:8
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9  For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.


Romans 11:26
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:


2 Timothy 2:19
.....the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his.....

What shall be the fate of the ungodly?


Psalms 1   KJV.


The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Yep = what happened to the Jewish 'people' at the hands of Hitler is exactly what happened to Jesus at the hands of the Jewish 'people'.

What goes around, comes around.

Now we will soon see a 'Messiah' emerge for the Moslems to balance the 'Prophet' Mohommed long ago.

Rev. 20           KJV.


[1] And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.

[2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

[3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

[4] And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

[5] But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

[6] Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

[7] And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

[8] And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

[9] And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

[10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

[11] And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

[12] And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

[13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
[14] And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

[15] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Amos 5:4
For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5  But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
6  Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7  Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8  Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
9  That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
10  They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
11  Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
12  For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
13  Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
14  Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15  Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.


Usually we associate the word, and being 'prudent', as a virtuous trait.

Q.
Is vs. 13 talking about virtue, when these folk are 'prudent' ?


Jeremiah 9:3
And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
...
...
6  Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.



Revelation 21:7
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.



It is wrong to be right, in an evil time.

But is it ?

Satan has indescribable hatred for God's people


WWW search....
Satan's hatred for God and his people



Q.
Why does SATAN oppose God, and hate what he is seeking to achieve ?


Q.
Does SATAN have some sort of 'gaining' in mind ?



.



If we give God's Word [scripture] any credence, does it inform us, who actually, and who symbolically, are, 'God's people' ?




Deuteronomy 32:8
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9  For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.


Psalms 34:18
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.


Psalms 40:6
Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7  Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8  I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.


Psalms 51:16
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18  Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.


Psalms 73:1
Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.


Jeremiah 15:18
Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
19  Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
20  And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
21  And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.


Malachi 3:16
Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.



"...so that they are without excuse."

"...for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him."




Isaiah 62:6
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7  And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8  The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
9  But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.


Deuteronomy 32:39
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40  For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41  If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42  I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43  Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.


Revelation 22:11
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14  Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15  For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16  I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

"FOOLISHLY COMPARING OUR LOT IN LIFE WITH THAT OF ANYONE ELSE'S CAN NEVER BEAR ANY GOOD FRUIT"


I'm guessing that someone like aquascoot would NOT concur with that expressed philosophical bent.      Smiley




Quote:

.....Foolishly comparing our lot in life with that of anyone else's can never bear any good fruit (II Corinthians 10:12).

We should, instead, only measure ourselves by the Word of God—the life of Jesus Christ.

In doing so, we will discover a proper perspective, finding peace, security, and contentment within God's sovereign plan (Philippians 4:6-11).

Like Job, our focus need not be on what seems fair—what we possess or lose today—but on God's promises for our future, when we will take possession of the most indescribable gift of all, eternal life with our just and loving God!

— Geoff Preston (1947-2013)

".....our focus need not be on what seems fair but on God's promises...."



I guess that perspective is only valid, to those persons who believe,     ...that there is a God.      Wink

And that,    ....is how God, is able rescue us, from this 'mire' that we find ourselves in.



mire = =
1 a stretch of swampy or boggy ground.       soft mud or dirt.       a wetland area or ecosystem based on peat.
2 a state of difficulty from which it is hard to extricate oneself.



The 'mire' is this world, and all of its distractions.

Some, love it.



"Behold,.....I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction."






Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
10  But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11  Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Quote:

Amos 3:3-8

(3) Can two walk together, except they be agreed? (4) Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing? (5) Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all? (6) Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? (7) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (8) The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?


commentary...
"A lion has roared" (Amos 3:8) concludes the section that began with "The Lord roars from Zion" (Amos 1:2). The Lord, "the Lion of the tribe of Judah" (Revelation 5:5), has roared against Israel to take heed. When a lion roars, anyone within hearing distance should change the direction of his path, especially if the lion is very close!

Amos 3:3-6 contains seven consecutive questions. After the first one (verse 3), the remaining three pairs of questions consist of a sequence of "before" and "after" illustrations:

    When a lion roars (verse 4), he is warning others of his presence—there is still time to escape. When a young lion cries out of his den, however, he is content because he has killed and eaten. It is too late to escape.

    Birds cannot fall into a snare when there is no trap (verse 5), but the trap always springs when one walks into it.

    The trumpet warns of danger coming (verse 6), but it cannot sound if the watchman is already dead and the city has been taken.

The Lord has done what He warned He would do. While the threat is being made, one can still escape, but once judgment begins, it is too late......

Deuteronomy:
12:8 Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

12:9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.

12:10 But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;

I'm told this is one of the reasons the Jews don't have any spiritual authority to perpetrate human rights atrocities preached in the first couple of books in the O.T..

They referred specifically to the taking of the promised land and became redundant about 4000 years ago.

There is not one single teaching of Christ in the N.T. which preaches evilness in any shape or form.

So for me the claims that the Bible is as evil as the qur'an is totally lies.

Good one moses.


The God we discover in the O.T. is big on his covenant with his people, and with laws, and with punishments for wrongdoers, especially violent criminals.

But HE, is in no way an unjust God.

HE, is a God of truth and justice, and love, for his 'children'.



And, as moses said; The claims that the Bible is as evil as the Koran is a huge lie, which is being perpetuated by either ignorant, OR, maliciously evil men.

Murder in the Bible

The act of murder is rampant in the Bible.  In much of the Bible, especially the Old Testament, there are laws that command that people be killed for absurd reasons such as working on the Sabbath, being gay, cursing your parents, or not being a virgin on your wedding night.  In addition to these crazy and immoral laws, there are plenty of examples of God’s irrationality by his direct killing of many people for reasons that defy any rational explanation such as killing children who make fun of bald people, and the killing of a man who tried to keep the ark of God from falling during transport.  There are also countless examples of mass murders commanded by God, including the murder of women, infants, and children.

The following passages are a very small percentage of the total passages approving of murder in the Bible.  They are divided here into three parts: 1) Capital Punishment Crimes, 2) God’s Murders for Stupid Reasons, 3) Murdering Children, and 4) Miscellaneous Murders.  This list is long, but it barely scratches the surface of all the murders approved of in the Bible.

Cheating in commerce, through deceit, is not allowed.

It is in God's law.


Leviticus 19:35
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36  Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.


Deuteronomy 25:13
Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.
14  Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.
15  But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
16  For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.


Proverbs 20:23
Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.





You shall not cheat strangers, or be cruel to them in judgment.

Leviticus 19:34
But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.


Isaiah 61:8
For I the LORD love judgment,....


Deuteronomy 25:1
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.

The verses of evil in the early books of the O.T. were one of two things:

1/. The taking of the promised land, which were rescinded about 4000 years ago by the verses in Deuteronomy which specifically told the Hebrews that once they had received their Inheritance (the promised land) they were not do these things.

2/. The ancient Judaic / Mosaic law which was also rescinded by the coming of the Messiah and His fulfillment of the law 2019 years ago. Man was to live and be justified by faith in Christ not the deeds of the law:

Matthew 5:17 Luke 16:16  John 17:1 John 17:4 John 19:30 Romans 10:4 Hebrews 9:12  Romans 3:20  Romans 3:28  Galatians  2:16  Galatians 3:11  Matthew 15:9 Hebrews 7:19 Mark 7:7  Matthew 7:21  Matthew 7:22  Matthew 7:23

So the question right now today 2109 is: If the works of the Christians and Jews ultimately forbids and rejects all works of evil, why do some people deliberately lie by omission and try and equate the Bible with the qur'an?

In the final analysis:

The qur'an deliberately urges promotes and praises putrid evil deeds as being the one sure path to paradise.

The Bible does not.

When I was a kid I really liked the melody of this chant not that I could understand anything that was being said, later I found out its a chant for the dead and is sung mainly at funerals of the recently deceased, here it is.



Chant for the Dead

Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.

The Choir of the Saints has found the Fountain of Life, and the Door of Paradise.

May I also find the way through repentance
I am the sheep that was lost ; call me up to You, O Saviour, and save me.

Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.

You Who did fashion me of old out of nothingness, and with Your Image divine did honor me; but because of transgressions of Your commandments did return me again to the earth from whence I was taken; lead me back to be refashioned into that ancient beauty of Your Likeness.

Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.
I am the image of Your unutterable glory, though I bear the scars of my stumblings. Have compassion upon me, the work of Your hands, O Sovereign Lord,

And cleanse me through Your loving kindness; and the homeland of my heart’s desire bestow on me
By making me a citizen of Paradise.

Blessed are You, O Lord; teach me Your statutes.
Give rest, O God,

to the souls of your servant, and appoint for them a place in Paradise; where the choirs of the Saints, O Lord, and the just will shine forth like stars; to Your servants that are sleeping now

Give rest, overlooking all his (her) offenses.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

The Trinal Radiance of One Godhead with reverent song acclaiming

Let us cry; Holy are You, O Eternal Father, and Son also Eternal, and Spirit Divine; shine with Your light on us who with faith adore You; and from the eternal fire rescue us.

Both now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Hail, O Gracious Lady, whoin the flesh bears God for salvation of all; and through whom the human race has found salvation: through You may we find Paradise, Theotokos, our Lady pure and blessed.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia; Glory to You, O God.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia; Glory to You, O God.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia; Glory to You, O God.

The kind of God who, if he created us, has the right to do with us as he wishes.

Some find that concept highly objectionable.

After all, we here, are all sentient beings who have a right to self-determination.

Right ?



Not when you are a [created] 'child' being, dealing with an adult being.



And, i accept, that God has the right, to do with me, as he wishes.



I have made lots of mistakes.



Deuteronomy 8:2
And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.


Psalms 19:7
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8  The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9  The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.


Psalms 25:8
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
9  The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
10  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11  For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.
12  What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.
13  His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.
14  The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Genesis 6:5
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.


Luke 21:36
....pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.




The Genesis 6:5 verse relates to the wickedness of mankind, who were living on earth millennia ago.

But it could, just as aptly, be describing the wickedness of men alive today, in today's world.

When we pray, it helps if we 'believe in' the person, whom we are praying to.

And it helps if we have respect for the person, whom we are praying to.

We can only have respect,       ....for something or someone, that we have a familiarity with, and an understanding of.

Psalms 103:1
<<A Psalm of David.>> Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6  The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7  He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8  The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9  He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10  He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11  For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12  As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13  Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
14  For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15  As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16  For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17  But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18  To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19  The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20  Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21  Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22  Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

God is not here or there, He is within you.

Once you understand this, you have it all pegged, as far as I can see.

John 4:24
God is a Spirit....


John 3:8
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9  Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10  Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?


John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20  At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

"Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none."




Ezekiel 7:23
Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24  Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
25  Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26  Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27  The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.


Isaiah 48:22
There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Psalms 73:3
For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4  For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5  They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6  Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

The kind of God who, if he created us, has the right to do with us as he wishes.????????

So, your deity has no need to adhere to anything like a moral standard? Given he chose to torture his own son on the cross  who (to swallow trinitarian theology whole)is actually himself, we are at the mercy of a divine sado-masochist. As side issue I find it fascinating that despite recent saturation coverage of sexual abuse of youth within the church little if anything has been said about the effect of raising the young to worship an entity so evil it is willing to inflict such suffering on it’s offspring. The theology is even more disturbing if we accept God’s omniscience. To do so one must face the fact granting our species free will was done knowing where it would lead.
And you want to call this entity ’The God of Love’?
Not even Bishop Shelby Spong can juggle biblical apologetics to explain that one away.

So the theory is that God became a man, who was tortured to death on a cross?

Well why did God do this?

Because man is so sinful that he can offer absolutely nothing to the Spirit of righteousness (God) as a token of his sorrow and regret, there is nothing that can absolve mankind from this state of continually falling into transgression.

It seems that God so loved mankind that he decided to become the one and only offering that man required, in order to repent and seek spiritual forgiveness for all sins genuinely repented for.

Now I think this is not a bad thing, after all there are some who offer human sacrifice as their offering to their god, some who slaughter animals as a token offering to their god, etc., etc..

Christianity has a peaceful bloodless offering of faith as the supreme sacrifice to their God.

Much better than non Christian human and animal slaughter as the offerings of appeasement to their gods.

Your attempt at biblical apologetics fails as do the vast majority.
Given you mention ‘forgiveness for all sins genuinely repented for’ ask yourself why anyone should repent given your God knowingly granted (omniscience) our species free will in the full knowledge where that would end.

Repentance, why should someone seek it, because we all have free will and can do as we like?

Not really true if we want a civilized caring progressive society.

Murderers rapists thieves liars, all do things that are not compatible with our civilized way of life.

We have societal laws and punishments set out as the rules and regulations of our civilization.

Man definitely has the capacity both physically and mentally to carry out these deeds, some men more than others.

Man should seek to live within the social guidelines set out by our lawmakers.

Men often fail to live up to the standard required.

Now spiritually speaking, some men who have failed, may wish to genuinely discontinue their wrong ways, they may genuinely wish to stop, repent and seek spiritual tranquility.

Many men of all persuasions believe they must offer a sacrifice to some *god*, these sacrifices take the form of gifts, slaughtered animals, humans etc..

Christianity has the sacrificial creed of: The highest offering they can give to God is, the faith that Christ died for their sins.

I believe this is definitely a superior way over the slaughter of animals, or human sacrifice, as is the case with some people today 21st century.

John 17:6
I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
7  Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
8  For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
9  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.


John 17:12
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13  And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
36  While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.



Truth isn't always with us [....isn't always able to be seen or recognised].

If you see truth, appreciate it !

We ought to, grasp hold of it tightly, and press it to your heart.




appreciate = = recognize the value or significance of.     be grateful for.




When the darkness comes, then, we will appreciate the great value of the knowledge of the light.

Typically, an unrestrained sane person will act in ways which are harmless to others, and in ways which are creative, and productive [for himself, others, and society].

In her radio show,  Dr. Laura Schlessinger has said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. An enquiry into other Bibilical admonitions raises some key questions. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura from James M. Kauffman, Professor Emeritus at the University of Virginia:

Dear Dr. Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination.  End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

  1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are from neighboring nations.  A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians.  Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

  2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7.  In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

  3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of Menstrual "uncleanliness" - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell?  I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

  4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9.  The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them.  Should I smite them?

  5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath.  Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

  6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination, Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality.  I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there degrees of  abomination?

  7. Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight.  I have to admit that I wear reading glasses.  Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

  8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

  9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

  10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend).  He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them?  Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I'm confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is   eternal and unchanging.

Your adoring fan,

James M. Kauffman, Ed.D. Professor Emeritus, Dept. Of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education, University of Virginia.

PS (It would be a damn shame if we couldn't own a Canadian)

"Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts."

THE BIBLE, IS GOD'S WORD [if we can believe]



God says; "pay thy vows unto the most High" and he will deliver his servant.

Which vows ?      Which payment ?



Psalms 50:14
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15  And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

It isn't rocket science.

In scripture, we witness, that God, constantly rebukes those men who in their own worldly comfort [and strength], abandon "righteousness" [i.e. righteous judgments] in all of their dealings.


OFFER THE SACRIFICES OF....

Psalms 4:1
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
2  O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
3  But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4  Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
5  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.


THE SACRIFICES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS....

Psalms 51:14
Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
18  Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19  Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.


LET JUDGMENT RUN DOWN AS WATERS, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AS A MIGHTY STREAM....

Amos 5:21
I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22  Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23  Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24  But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25  Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26  But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
27  Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.


SOW TO YOURSELVES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, REAP IN MERCY....

Hosea 10:12
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
13  Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.





"There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked."


Isaiah 48:16
Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17  Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18  O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19  Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20  Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21  And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22  There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.


THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL ARE UNCIRCUMCISED IN THE HEART....

Jeremiah 9:23
Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24  But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
25  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
26  Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.




Psalms 11:7
For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.


Psalms 106:24
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:



"If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself."

'Cease from anger, and forsake wrath...'





Psalms 37:1
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
4  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5  Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6  And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
10  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.
11  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
13  The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
14  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.
15  Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16  A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.
17  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18  The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
21  The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22  For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
23  The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
25  I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26  He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27  Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28  For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30  The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
31  The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32  The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33  The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
34  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35  I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36  Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37  Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.
38  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
39  But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
40  And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Acts 5:29
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.


Acts 5:32
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.


Q.
If the doctrines of the church which we attend [follow], do not align with what scripture reveals, what ought we to do ?

You are the salt of the earth.
But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

Matthew 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.


There is worth, or not, in the functionality and useful purpose of a thing or a person.

Even we, will choose to reject bruised and spoiled fruit, or any other item not fit for purpose.




Mankind, are the harvest of HIS enterprise.

At the harvest of the earth....

Matthew 7:19
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.


Matthew 13:47
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.

Prime Minister for Canyons wrote on Aug 17th, 2020 at 9:51am:
I’m a bit proud of my first red card as a coach. I approached the fourth official and said: ‘How many mistakes are allowed here? If it’s 15, you have one more

I wouldn't be that type of coach. I wouldn't use Officials as an excuse for my failures. I hold myself above that. You obviously have never played with Sharks. I've come up against a totally rigged game where my team was definitely going to lose (with the option of having a brawl ruled out as unconstructive and irresponsible to parents) and every official was in on it. Just play the whistle and laugh at it. One instance we got flogged 50 to nil, the decisions went against us so flippantly. We just laughed aloud at every decision against us. We had some parents video the game as secretly as possible. Showed Management and a lot of sackings followed and points awarded to us on the ladder. Well, for just a few years. Red Carded.
I love coaching bottom dwellers and making them final winners the following year.
I was a despised Coach by some other Coaches. Other's loved my work.

There is a huge amount in here.


' ... Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

John 14:23 - 27

It's amazing.
This is what makes being a Christian difficult and vital.

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee,....."



Deuteronomy 28:1
And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
2  And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
3  Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
4  Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5  Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
6  Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
7  The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8  The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9  The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
10  And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11  And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
12  The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
13  And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14  And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Deuteronomy 28:15
But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
16  Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
17  Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
18  Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
19  Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
20  The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.
21  The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
22  The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.
23  And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
24  The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
25  The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
26  And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.
27  The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.
28  The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:
29  And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.
30  Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
31  Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.
32  Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.
33  The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
34  So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.
35  The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.
36  The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
37  And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.
38  Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.
39  Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.
40  Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
41  Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.
42  All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
43  The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.
44  He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.


And all those curses will come upon that nation which hates [neglects the commandments of] God.

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.


Deuteronomy 28:46
And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

Psalms 1:1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalms 7:8
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10  My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11  God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12  If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13  He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14  Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15  He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16  His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17  I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Rev 20        KJV


4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Our EXPRESSED gratitude, for a good thing, or for help....


It is a human characteristic, that we feel pleasure and satisfaction,
when people, or our children, show us [acknowledge] their gratitude for some good thing, we have done, on their behalf.

And not also our God ?

Gratitude, in a heart, is not a small thing, imo.



Deuteronomy 8:10
When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11  Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
12  Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13  And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
14  Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
.....
.....
18  But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19  And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
20  As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.


.


1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Deuteronomy 10:12
And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
13  To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?


Ecclesiastes 12:13
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.


Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?


Acts 10:34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
35  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

My daughter quoted this to me recently... probably because I was having little faith in much of late ...

In one of the most widely known Scriptures, Matthew 17:20, Jesus said, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

sounds more like delusions to me. Faith won't move a mountain, no matter how much you have. It'll take lots of work and heavy machinery if you really want to move it

Ezekiel 23:19-20

"Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions”

Or as the King James version more poetically has it :-

“Yet she multiplied her whoredomes, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherinein she has played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses”

_____________________________________________________

Deuteronomy 25:11-12
"When men fight with one another, and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him, and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand."

And again a more poetic King James version :-


"When a man strive together one with another, and the wife of the one drawers near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrests.
Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her”
_____________________________________________________

1st Samuel 18:20-30
"When Saul’s servants told him what David had said, Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies."

Or the King James version:-

“And Saul said, “Thus shall ye say to David, The King desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the King’s enemies”

Sadly some of the most blood thirsty passages in the bible are grounded in historic events, maybe not in exact detail but certainly in painting for us a picture of religious dogma as applied in biblical times.

"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with
him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."

Mark 6                 KJV.

when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha
in the day of judgment, than for that city.

[12] And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

[13] And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

2 Cor.4     KJV

[1] Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

[2] But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

[3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

[4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

[5] For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

[6] For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Doubting Thomas


John 20        KJV

[24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

[25] The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

[26] And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

[27] Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

[28] And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

[29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

[30] And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

[31] But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 1.


"All" by the way, means everything including the constant bleating of you religionists.

Amazing Grace was a song created by Amerindians (Pagans) and stolen from them to be pumped as a Christian Song for a very long time.

Google is your friend. Never heard of it either.

Zoroastrianism or Mazdayasna is one of the world's oldest continuously practiced religions based on the teachings of the Iranian-speaking prophet Zoroaster (also known as Zarathustra in Avestan or Zarthost in Modern Persian). It is a multi-faceted faith centered on a dualistic cosmology of good and evil and an eschatology predicting the ultimate conquest of evil with theological elements of henotheism, monotheism/monism, and polytheism.

Just for the believers.....

Luke 11:9
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.


Luke 11:13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?


"....your heavenly Father [will] give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him."



Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.


Psalms 111:3
His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4  He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
5  He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people.
This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.


1 Timothy 2:5-6 (New International Version)

"...return unto me; for I have redeemed thee."


Isaiah 44:21
Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
22  I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.

Matthew 23:23 - "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you dog-faced pony soldiers!"

Exodus 3:10 - "So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Mexico."
