RE: "Think, then Choose Your Words Wisely" good advice
Talking by impulse is the worst thing one can do. But there is still power. Jude 24 and 25 says "Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
You said below:
it is the most powerful book on earth, the very word of God.
It was the 'word of god' (and still contains the germ of it, but one must really dig) before MEN started
chopping, cutting, over translating, over interpreting and misinterpreting it
in the third century AD, when the 'councils' took over and filled it with Greek paganism.
Now, I listen to the 'Word' written in my heart fresh, daily by the Author.
I will not be drawn into religious debate, and if you insist on posting excerpts of scripture, I may have to mute you.
Love you my friend.
Oh no. I'm really sorry, I was not trying to debate with anyone, I just thought I was having a normal conversation in order to get this community nurtured in any way. When anyone participates in a talk one can't expect to know everything about a person in just the first chat. I did not know that you could get offended by the posting of some texts that actually endorse the thoughts you are presenting (that was the cause of me posting them). I could talk with confidence and in depth of the point you are addressing, but I now know that you do not want anything to do with such topics, so I will respect because I do not want to touch sensitive topics linked to the past experience of a person. You do not need to mute me my friend, I will respectfully continue my way wishing you the best. Have a pleasant night of rest.
After spending several years 'riding herd'(as the admin) on bible discussion/debate groups, I have just grown very tired (to put it mildly) of discussing the bible.
You can, with hermaneutics and interpretation, make every verse in the bible mean every other thing in the bible, which makes the whole tome moot, it has no meaning.
The one thing I found 'mystical' about 'the book', was that when I would be troubled, I could open 'the book' and read a passage I'd read dozens of times, and it would suddenly mean something different and more pertinent to my particular issue du jour.
I don't mean to put you off at all. I just don't like to have discussions with folks who always seem to be bringing 'the book' back into the topic at hand.
Peace my friend.
No problem friend, I never take this type of thing personal, I'm even preparing to stand worst trials with the character of the one I chose to follow. Thanks, and again, I wish you all the best. Peace
