JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one. JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Dreams So Real?
|
|
We all Dream from time to time and I have written on here before about Dreams I have had. I try to learn from my dreams to see if their is anything to it. No matter what it might be. With that said this is a Dream that has been on my mind that seemed so real when I woke up. I was looking from like a large building at the Washington Monument. I believe it was fall time and I did not see people around. All of a sudden the Complex started to sink and then with in like a minute the Whole complex was gone. like a sink Hole it was gone. Of course the area was flooded then with people and I watched on the news as scientists were being filmed from a Helicoptor scratching their heads in like a 100 foot hole that was made of solid rock on the bottom where they were standing. The news was talking " How can this Be? Where did it go?" all kinds of people walking around on this solid rock like plate but no Monument could be found and no explanations of what had happened. then I heard a voice that said to me to warn the people but I am scared to do such a thing. I will be labeled crazy so I am already crazy on here so what difference does it make? The warning said when you see this come to pass "Know man did not do this. Know that if the people do not turn and listen to this sign that this is only the beginning. tell them this they will not be able to deny it is from above. If they do deny. Then they should not complain to me anymore." That was it. I have said my dreams on here before and I truly hope this is only a dream. I did not see people dieing in this Dream. It was more like a warning science can not explain at ALL. That's it. May Yahweh Have Mercy on all Those who Desire Him and His Will lots of people have been having dreams like this at least you can remember , most of my dream when i wake up i forgot what they where lol I know what you mean. This is the 1st one that seemed so real that I knew exactly where the dream was. |

Matthew 12:2-5 2 When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.” 3 Jesus answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread—which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests. 5 Or haven’t you read in the Law that the priests on Sabbath duty in the temple desecrate the Sabbath and yet are innocent? Being somebody who has read the entire bible, when I saw this scripture when preparing for youth bible it immediately caught my eye, because I have never seen such a story in the old testament. So I immediately started to research and came to the conclusion, that this is nowhere is the BIBLE. (Even if I consider ALL historical Christian & Judaic books ex: the Apocrypha, Talmud, Synoptic gospels, Dead sea scrolls, and all un-canonized books; it is still not in there.) your references and your scholars do not or did not look hard. I suggest you look at why David is so Special. Where it is spoken of him bringing the poor into eat at the Kings table and treating them as he would anyone else. This is what made David Special and in the Law you were able to eat as it says he did if it was a manner of life or death. Yahweh says to choose Life |

The Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments We Always See, Aren’t The Ten Commandments by Russ Kick on February 18, 2010 in News The following is the first chapter from my bite-size Disinformation book 50 Things You’re Not Supposed to Know, published in 2003. For more on me, check out this website, The Memory Hole. _____________________________________ First Amendment battles continue to rage across the US over the posting of the Ten Commandments in public places — courthouses, schools, parks, and pretty much anywhere else you can imagine. Christians argue that they’re a part of our Western heritage that should be displayed as ubiquitously as traffic signs. Congressman Bob Barr hilariously suggested that the Columbine massacre wouldn’t have happened if the Ten Commandments (also called the Decalogue) had been posted in the high school, and some government officials have directly, purposely disobeyed court rulings against the display of these ten directives supposedly handed down from on high. Too bad they’re all talking about the wrong rules. Every Decalogue you see — from the 5,000-pound granite behemoth inside the Alabama State Judicial Building to the little wallet-cards sold at Christian bookstores — is bogus. Simply reading the Bible will prove this. Getting out your King James version, turn to Exodus 20:2-17. You’ll see the familiar list of rules about having no other gods, honoring your parents, not killing or coveting, and so on. At this point, though, Moses is just repeating to the people what God told him on Mount Si’nai. These are not written down in any form. Later, Moses goes back to the Mount, where God gives him two “tables of stone” with rules written on them (Exodus 31:18). But when Moses comes down the mountain lugging his load, he sees the people worshipping a statue of a calf, causing him to throw a tantrum and smash the tablets on the ground (Exodus 32:19). In neither of these cases does the Bible refer to “commandments.” In the first instance, they are “words” which “God spake,” while the tablets contain “testimony.” It is only when Moses goes back for new tablets that we see the phrase “ten commandments” (Exodus 34:28). In an interesting turn of events, the commandments on these tablets are significantly different than the ten rules Moses recited for the people, meaning that either Moses’ memory is faulty or God changed his mind. I. Thou shalt worship no other god. II. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. III. The feast of unleavened bread thou shalt keep. IV. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest. V. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end. VI. Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord God. VII. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven. VIII. Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning. IX. The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. X. Thou shalt not seethe a kid [ie, a young goat] in his mother’s milk. Most christians don't see the second commandment. Some Christian groups do, some don't. But also, don't know the translation these specific verses are from but the verse is no "gaven images" not specifically molten. II. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods. And in turn would technically be incorrect and a mistranslation. As the verse says "any graven images". You can grave things also into wood eg., the crosses with Jesus on it. Now the crosses in itself is not where the wrong/sin resides. It's when they have Jesus on the cross where the sin comes in. Because it goes into further detail then just "graven images" Exodus 20:4 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. The instruction is more specifically referring to images of things in Heaven or in Hell eg., is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath. And that's only common sense, for any images of either place or that associated would not be accurate in any way shape or form because we have not seen either places with our own eyes. why do u quote Exodus? that's Ot.. been fulfilled |

Hi I am in the Philippines now. Manila Metro now. Just got married the pic u see is me and my wife in a Tricycle. easiest way to travel short distances. You have to watch the Taxi drivers. It is really cheap but they believe all Americans r rich. I had one take me home from the Mall and he kept wanting me to give him directions , so of course he got lost. Took me by the airport which was way out of the way and cost 3x the amount the taxi cost me to go to the mall. My Philippina wife gets really mad with the taxi drivers trying to take advantage. The taxi's are so cheap compared to America though yet traffic is so slow. if you r going 25mph count yourself lucky. The Tricycles ( 3 wheeled motorcycles) are really cool to ride in and one way is like a $1. They are everywhere. they have public transportation like the Jeepneys and express SUV's. They stop every little bit and pickup and let people off. Do Not go out in the Manila Area if a storm is coming( like a couple of inches of rain) the taxi's drivers go home!!! they will strand you for fear the road will flood and they will lose their taxi. overall the people are very friendly even though I do not like going out at night. still have so much to learn but I have my wonderful Bride to be my Path Finder. the Love of My Life 
Lol! Such a true story! Congratulations to both of you!!  let's toast to that! 
Thanks

if the OT is no good then why don't we just Burn it so no one ever sees it? seems this would get rid of a lot of confusion. this would end all tithing to the church. Good right?

Hi everyone..this s my first thread ever..pheww..!!feels like talking on stage in front of the crowd..  ..
To start with, ive learned from the bible since I was little.and I came to fully understand it during my teenage years..my parents use to sent me n a charismatic siminars, evangelical projects, etc..I was a member of a youth for christ n the Philippines.unbelievable..?I know..hehe..hence that questions about God kp popping n my mind and its left unanswered until now..this urge me to post this thread here, hoping u guys can offer me ur brilliant ideas..and will appreciate it so much..
The question is: How could an all knowing, all loving God allow His son to b murdered on the cross to redeem our sins.?If God the father s so loving why didnt He come down and take that cross from hes son.? I look forward to ur reply guys..hopefully.. Thank u.. Mekay
Shalom. Yahshua chose to let himself be an example. Ever since adam and eve man has went against his father. Yahshua came to show us we do not need any man to show us how to come to eternal life. he showed us believing in Yahweh our father that all things are possible. Yahshua proved this to us by Being " the 1st born of the dead" by doing his fathers will as we are told. Yahshua being our example. He said no better friend does a man have than one who would die for his friends. Yahshua calls us his friends. The bible is all about family. if you will read it and keep all things that you read in mind how would I treat and also what is best for my children at the tip of your tongue, you will find out the bible reads very differently than you may of been taught. It is a lesson for us to find the deeper meanings of life. Yahshua showed us that when we obey our parents they only or should at least have our Heart at our best interest. We let our children learn by example so they know themselves. Yet we know if they would just listen they would not endure so many thing we went through. The same with the scriptures of Life. It is a family manual to guides us, protect us, warn us of what is right and what is wrong. we just have to listen and desire to want to learn. That's when the spirit will guide you when you desire to learn. Yahshua chose to obey believing he would 3 days and nights later rise from the dead. Just as he said he would as the sign of Jonah which is the only sign he gave he was the promiced one of Yahweh. Take care and May the Grace of Yahweh fill you with True Shalom Hi there..:) thank u for that..anyway so the bottom line there s that God knows that he can take the life of jesus back thats y he let it happen..? He let jesus died bcos he knows that he can rise him up from the dead..? of course Yahweh knew he could rise him from the dead. It was Yahshua's faith in his father as a child who listens who gave us the pure knowledge that Yahweh will rise us from the dead. The curse of the Law was death the Blessing is eternal life. Yahshua being the perfect sacrifice took away the death penalty that came from Adam and Eve. Yahshua is even called the 2nd adam. Yahweh never wanted the sacrifice of animals but a broken and contrite heart. A heart that loves him as a father child relationship where a child puts all their faith in their parents. That's why we must be born again. To come to him as a child. every parent has seen the faith of a 2 or 3 year old where they know their parents will protect them. It is family. Yahweh has been since the beginning we are babes very small children compared to him. Yahshua showed this total faith in his fathers mercy and love for him as an example to us of his love for us also Ohh..I see..,God's sacrifices has wasted cos people kp commiting sins..ryt..?so whats the best thing to do to b save..?follow whats written n the bible..is it..? do the best u can. Most people know right from wrong |

Two thoughts recently made me review the need for modern updating for relevance: 1. A recent video of Boko Harum has them cutting a man's head off; during which one of the leaders holds up a book and proclaims that they are doing this as the book tells them to. As you should know the book they hold up is not the Quran. It is an intrepretation of a book of intrepretation of a book of an intrepretation of the Quran. All literal intrepretations, hence the use of swords. 2. In a discussion on the Temple rules banning the traditions of the g-d Molech-n there is the blarring absence of the sacrificing of children to Molech. Why? In the cultural context of the time, rebellous children were to be killed - Deuteronomy. This reinforces my belief that many aspects of religion needs modern updating for relevance and to save it from literalism. Your opinion? The Beauty of the Scriptures to me is it has been made for all time. No matter what the culture. People just do not want to do it. It has always been Spiritual and the physical helps to teach you the Spiritual meaning. Like people being referred to as swine. Do not eat of their food. The bread of life they influence you to be in your spiritual meaning of life. Yahweh always wanted a broken and contrite Heart. A Humble Heart who cares about everything around him. Treat others as you would like to be treated. His people will Love one another. What does that really mean? The Bible is all about family to me and how we should treat each other. The physical teaches us what others go through. Like until you have walked in a mans shoes u do not know what he has really been through. Or a man knowing what child birth is. Love one another is a aspect of Loving our Father in Heaven because what father does not want his children to not Love one another? |

Yahshua said the only sign he would give was the sign of Jonah he was the Messiah.
He said he would be in the Heart of the earth for 3 days and 3 nights. He also said are their not 12 hours in a day? noway do you get 3 days and 3 nights from Friday evening to sunday morning. Simple math. Choose who you follow. It is that simple |

Are Christians going to be judged according to what they eat or drink or smoke? I don't think so. If that were the case, then all of those overweight preachers would be in big trouble. Preachers are in big trouble. They are the ones who deceive the people. That's why Yahshua came in the 1st place to show us we do not need them to understand his fathers words. As far as food and smoking. Isa. 66:17 speaks of those who eat the pig and the rat will be consumed together. Harsh words. Nothing is said in the bible about smoking. Many preachers will say drinking is a sin. Yet Paul says a little wine is good for the stomach and Yahshua himself turned water into wine. we pick and choose. What I am saying go by what the bible says if u believe not what u want it to say. Smoking is not mentioned. Pork is. we say pork is ok now and smoking is bad. just use what scripture says and we have plenty to think about without adding what we want. |

smoking is ok because...i like smoking smoking is ok because...my (loved ones names here smokes) its a hard habit to kick if i do it, its christian 1st corinthians 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. Jesus did not create us so that he could watch us do our best chimney and car exhaust impersonations! why do we take a quote and make it say what we want? Yet take what the bible says like do not eat pork and say well its ok. How do we defile the Temple from the Scriptures? We judge when we add to the bible. I am not saying smoking is good. What I am saying is we pick and choose. We choose what man says over what Yahweh says. Pork is not to be eaten. Yahweh says it defiles the Temple yet man says he made a mistake. We judge ourselves by adding to scripture. Interesting choice of example. Please do share, not to eat pork from the new testament, the new covenant God that has made between us and God with his blood himself. Yes in the old testament, covenant there was that. But please do share where it is in the new covenant God has made with us, that we are still not to eat swine, pork. acts 11 explains acts 10.All about men not food. none of the apostles or the messiah ever ate pork. Yahshua was our example, what is followed is traditions of men. With all their is to try and learn we choose to tell people what is bad and what is good. Isaiah said good would be evil and evil would be good. now that is old testament so I guess throw that out also. Whoever is your example follow whoever. Christians follow Jesus, for he is our "example" our God, our father, our creator, our judge. You stated entire chapters, please do narrow it down to verses. And besides, those are old testament verses. Those do not apply to Christians. Keep in mind, the only laws that apply to "Christians" are from the new testament. For before the new testament, there was no "Christians" for there was no "Christ". I agree Yahshua is our EXAMPLE. He had the New Testament before he was born. He only quoted and lived the New Testament. He ate Pork ect ecT. All the Disciples and Apostles we are given examples from Celebrated Christmas. and Had a Ham sandwich for Easter. They Gave Yahshua A Pig for his B day every year. He loved it he said I am doing My Fathers will. " See I eat The PIG" I am so glad you follow your example. Have a good day |

lol,, Christian phobic, now that's funny I do believe that's a good point, but doubt it will catch on always cringed at the idea that dislike or disagreement of something was automatically 'phobic',,,, Good to see you MsHarmony . How have you been? phobic to me seems to be a key word to say someone " out of touch" with society. To me it is all Prophecy. I see a phobic world who treats the Bible as if it was evil. We are told this would come to pass. So to all of us who desire to Believe we are in the Days the Prophets could only imagine to see. A very special time in history. Yet to those who do not, can not. wish not to believe we are living a fairy tale. I like my Fairy Tale.
Just to let you know I have been in the Philippines now since June 2. Was Married to the Most Wonderful woman Alive on July 4th and I am Living a Fairy Tale only Yahweh could of Brought me to. At least in my mind and hers. Its Great. The culture here is so different. Men ( not all) but I see a lot of men when I go outside holding Umbrella's over their wife and children as they go to the car. ( raining or sunshining) opening the door for them. So nice yet so many very poor people who need help as their govt. does not give help to the poor that I have seen or heard about. Hard times are very hard times. Please Pray for the Widow and the Fatherless in this country. We from America do not know how good we have it. In May my future Brother-in-law tried to break up 2 drunks that were fighting as he knew one of the. As he did he was stabbed and died the next day. He and his wife both 33 with 4 children. Very poor and their is no ssn to help with the children. The churches do not help her at all. we do what we can. It Breaks my heart to see this and it is personal to me but this happens. Americans should count their Blessings we have a system who do help these widows and their children in cases like these. These people are so Humble so poor and so delightful to be around. May Yahweh Bless all of Us and show His Mercy to all and May we as Descent Humans Remember the downtrodden because this is what Scripture is all about. James 1 25-27 should always be read as should Luke 4 : 18-20. Hope all is fine and May Yahweh give us all a peaceful Heart

LOL The point is illiteracy, not abortion, etc. illiteracy? You do realize Christianity is about having a relation with our father, our God. An every day walk. It's not just about the knowledge in the bible. It's about faith and the actions that come forth from it. Someone could be entirely a "Christian" and never having ever even seen a bible or even one scripture. This is the point, so I do not understand the question. A personal relationship is personal and not to be force fed to others. The Bible has been used for centuries by Christians as a weapon of control. To read it literally is to believe in a three-tiered universe, to condone slavery, to treat women as inferior creatures, to believe that sickness is caused by God's punishment and that mental disease and epilepsy are caused by demonic possession. When someone tells me that they believe the Bible is the 'literal and inerrant word of God,' I always ask, 'Have you ever read it'?" Bishop John Shelby Spong. 2 "...texts from the source we call Holy Scripture have been used in the past to defend the divine right of kings and to oppose the Magna Carta; to condemn Galileo and to assert that the Sun does indeed rotate around the Earth; to justify slavery, segregation and apartheid; to keep women from being educated, entering the professions, voting or being ordained; to justify war, to persecute and kill Jews; to condemn other world religions; and to continue the oppression and rejection of gay and lesbian people." Bishop John Shelby Spong 1 (He left out transgender individuals) The problem with the Old and New Testaments is that they are both dated pieces of literature that reflect the values and mores of those who wrote them between 1000 BCE and 135 CE. Many passages in the Old Testament reflect a tribal mentality that portrays God as hating everyone the people of Israel hated. It also portrays God as killing the firstborn male in every household in Egypt on the night of the Passover; justifies the institution of slavery (except for fellow Jews) and defines women as the property of men. Note that even the Ten Commandments exhort us "not covet our neighbor's house, his wife, his slaves, his ox, his ***, etc." The neighbor is clearly a male, and the things that we are forbidden to covet are all male possessions. The New Testament portrays Paul as believing that slavery is good if it is kind. Paul also reveals attitudes toward women that are today deeply embarrassing: "I forbid a woman to have authority over a man." "Women should keep quiet in church." Bishop John Shelby Spong. 4 The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction. Jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic-cleanser; a misogynistic homophobic racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal ..." 3 Richard Dawkins And yet with appropriate exegetes one finds: These Hebrew Scriptures, however, also define God as love, justice and as a universal being. In the portrait of the "Servant" in Isaiah 40-55 the Hebrew Scriptures portray human life as capable of giving itself away and even of acting in such a way as to draw the pain out of others, absorb it and return it as love. The point of the article is that most people are biblically illiterate and thus use it for their own purposes which in general go against the actual teachings. The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction. Jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic-cleanser; a misogynistic homophobic racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal ..." 3 Richard Dawkins How is it vindictive? How is it petty? And why shouldn't he be jealous? And or proud? Would you not be jealous if something you "created" didn't show you love? And or what giving something or someone else the credit for that which belonged to you? Now keep in mind, God didn't "born" us, he "created" us. Specifically made each of us precisely how he wished for us to be. And is he unforgiving? Did he not come and take your place for your sins, or my sins, or any one elses sins so they would not have to? How is it homophobic? Must you forget the reason and purpose for sex? Is it not for reproduction? Beyond that, it is sinful lust of the flesh and produces nothing positive. Please enlighten me with these of which I request. Homophobic is anything they want it to be for special rights. Speak against gays u r homophobic. So is speaking against Christian. Christian-phobic? No its their right, Free speech. Then abortion its a womans right. Then why is it when a drunk hits a car and a pregnant womans baby dies its called murder? Double standards. you are either politally correct or not. It is all special interest groups who rule the law of the land. Not the "We the people" democracy is dying because the law says the vote of the people only stands if Politally correct? correct? Tell me it is not so???? |
