Dear ConsciousBrahtha,

 

What I have shared with you are not my views but what is written in the Bible and therefore does not need to be refined.   I am not the authority, God is.  I am a servant of Jesus Christ.  I offered you what Jesus offers; forgiveness of sins and a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. 

 

You will keep asking the same question until someone answers what you have already made up in your mind to believe. You think that if you can come up with enough answers that will suit what you want to think, this will bring you peace.  It will not.  When you can humble yourself and admit that you do not have the answers and need a Savior to set you free then the journey to truth and peace begins. 

 

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path."  Proverbs 3:5

 

 

 

 

 

Fullife,

 

Appreciate the reasponse, however lets talk about some tings fist. The Bible is not the first book with information about life. As a matter of fact lets talk about the concepts the bible uses (stole) from ancient people of Afrika. The concept of Life after Death, a creation Story (even though the bible does not deal with cosmology, but thats another story), Flood Story, Ressurection, Virgin Births, Story of Wisemen, Concept of Good and Evil, Angels, Concept of Soul and Spirit (even thought the bible does a terrible job at explaining what these are) and I could go on with even more if YOU like. So it is you who I would reccomend to do  research, however I feel you will not do so even though I can prove to you anything I speak of (We are controlled by FEAR).

 

Secondly, the information about the Spirit that I am speaking of was not made up in my mind. You can refer to the same documents I reffered to to truely understand what the Soul and Spirit are, because no disrespect, its obvious you don't have a clue.

 

You see for the masses including you, Man is essentially a sinner i.e., confined to parts of the spirit he has no clue about, so in your mind you can only be saved by the intervention of a saviour outside yourselves, or can only be kept from doing wrong by threats of doomsday, or eternal damnation that awaits.  In the traditions of YOURs and My anscestors of Kamit, Canaan, Afrika and Black (Dravidian) India, Mans salvation can only can only be achieved by the elevation of his consciousness to the higher part of his being, and the increase of his spiritual power that he may be free of the limitations of the physical world. Ignorance and Impotence are the father and Mother Respectively of evil in this world.

You might be sittin back like yo kid they never taught me what this brotha be sayin in Sunday school but he got a few points...Its all good if you dont find yourself saying that I still got luv for ya...The Ego/our training versus being educated is a powerful ting mon...

1Love4life!!!

 

PS- I see you didnt have anything to say about the origin of the Word Amen that comes at the end of your prayers as a matter of fact you didnt even end your last post with Amen...I still got luv for you though ;-)

TO: BYYOURSIDE... SENSE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT WE CANT EVEN TRUST OUR OWN PASTOR, THE ONE WHOSE "SUPPOSEDLY" SPREADING THE WORD OF GOD, WHY EVEN BOTHER GOING TO CHURCH?...AND ITS NOT JUST CHRISTIANS WHO USE RELIGION TO GAIN POWER OVER PEOPLE, ITS ALL RELIGIONS!!! TO ME THATS ALL RELIGION IS ABOUT, POWER! MONEY AND POWER! AND PLEASE DONT QUOTE ME ANYTHING FROM THE BIBLE, NONE OF IT MAKES SENSE TO ME! FOR EXAMPLE, WHY IS THERE AN "OLD" AND "NEW" TESTAMENT IF GOD IS SO PERFECT AND ALL-KNOWIN? DID HE JUST UP AND DECIDE TO CHANGE HIS MIND? LOL... BY THE WAY,DO YOU KNOW WHO WROTE THE BIBLE? NO ONE HAS EVER ANSWERED THIS QUESTION FOR ME! MAYBE YOU CAN?

Dear ConsciousBrahtha,

 

I respect your belief that the elevation of your consciousness will lead you to where you want to be.  I have studied and researched many different religions and spiritual philosophies.  When I got to the Bible and read it from cover to cover, I discovered this was the answer I was looking for.  The proof that I have is in my changed life. 

 

 

Fullife,

I resapect your views. I am not saying the bible has no purpose, it has been rearanged by a people who needed validation for their (Jews) existence and a claim to land known as Palestine. And alot of the text have many hidden meanings that the masses are not aware about. But I respect your choice especially if you except what I am saying and still chose to embrace the bible in an exoteric fashion. 

I appreciate the exchange of ideas...

1love

Don't trust in any man means don't trust in any man more than what you trust in JESUS CHRIST AND GOD THE FATHER .

True Christians understand this.

 

In time, you will know the truth also by your true desire to love the true God.

Yes, the Bible does tell who wrote it, once you study it with true care and a sincere heart, you will know as you read in the Bible, in the New Testament where it tells who wrote the Bible and how and why.

Dear ConsciousBrahtha,

 

You do not respect my beliefs.  You are on this board to undermine Christianity and any other Faith or Spiritual belief that does not coincide with what you believe.  I feel sorry for you.  I have read many of your posts and it is very clear that the only way you can find fulfillment in life is by demeaning others who do not agree with your way to "Spiritual Enlightenment".

 

This is my last post to you on this topic.

 

Revelation 2:20-25

 

Nevertheless, I have this against you:  You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess.  By her teaching she leads my servants astray.  I have given her time to repent of her deeds, but she is unwilling.  So I will cast her on a bed of suffering.  But to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets I will not impose any other burden on you.  Only hold on to what you have until I come.

 

 

Fullife,

 

What you just stated is opion and a perspective. So while I appreciate your perspective and opinion they are not valid other than to you. You even used the word demeaning in regards to my post. Lets look at the definition of the word De-Meaning- It states "causing awareness of your shortcomings" I am inclined to agree with that definition in this state and use of the word . My post are factual not based on BELEIF. My post are based on Knowing. So you can can have all the faith and Belief you want, in the end you couldn't even tell me the parts of the SPIRIT. You could only tell me what someone else told you. That part is the sad part because you are really missing out. You desire intamediaries to go between yourself and that which manifest Creation. In the end you could not even Aknowledge what I asked you about AMEN. So to me it is you who are simply passing opions and demeaning. Have I told anyone on here they would go to "hell" if they didnt believe in what I Know? Oh Ok.

TO: BYYOURSIDE... LOL, THE NEW TESTAMENT HUH? YOU STILL DIDNT EXPLAIN WHY THERES AN OLD TESTAMENT AND A NEW TESTAMENT!DID GOD JUST UP AND DECIDE TO CHANGE HIS MIND WHEN HE WROTE THE NEW TESTAMENT? BUT WAIT, THAT CANT BE RIGHT, BECAUSE GOD IS NEVER WRONG! HE NEVER MAKES MISTAKES! HE DOESNT MAKE MISTAKES, THEREFORE, HE MEANT EVERYTHING HE SAID, WHICH INCLUDES THE OLD TESTAMENT! ARE YOU SAYING THAT GOD DIDNT REALIZE WHAT HE WAS SAYING WHEN HE WROTE THE OLD TESTAMENT???... Isaiah chapter 13 Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children. In Numbers chapter 31, Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live? Behold, these caused the people of Israel, by the counsel of Balaam, to act treacherously against the LORD in the matter of Pe'or, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him. But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Deuteronomy, Chapter 21:18, the Bible says: If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard." Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid. Leviticus Chapter 25, verse 44: Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly. VERY INSPIRING, WOULDNT YOU AGREE? LOL

Dear Mila2008,

 

I know you addressed your post to byyourside, but I would like to answer the question about why there is an Old Testament and a New Testament.  The Old Testament represents the condition of the human race after sin entered the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve.  The New Testament represents God’s love for his human creation by coming to earth in the person of Jesus Christ to pay our sin debt in full by dying in our place.  You have quoted many scriptures and I can understand your frustration.  When I read the Bible before I was saved, I felt the same way.  But there was something about this Bible that was like no other book I had ever read.  I wanted to know more about this Jesus.  I read the Bible for the second time and understood enough to want to pray for forgiveness of my sins.  I have been in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ for years now.  Each day I read my Bible I am given more insight into the Mind of God.  The Christian walk is a journey of faith that can only be taken and understood by those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  Sin separates us from God but we can now be reconnected by humbling ourselves and saying this simple prayer:

 

Dear God,

 

I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness.  I believe that Jesus fully paid the penalty for all of my sins by dying on the cross.  Thank You for Your grace to save me even though I am undeserving.  Please show me how to start living for You.  Thank you for forgiving me and also giving me a new life.

 

Amen.

TO FULLIFE... WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? OLD TESTAMENT, NEW TESTAMENT? ITS ALL FULL OF NONSENSE! ONE MIGHT EXPECT SUCH A LOVING AND ALL KNOWING GOD TO PROVIDE US WITH GREAT WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE, SUCH AS A CURE FOR CANCER. (THAT WOULDVE BEEN VERY USEFUL) BUT INSTEAD HE GIVES US A BOOK FILLED WITH IRRELAVANT NONSENSE! ONE SHOULD BE AMAZED AFTER READING THE BIBLE, BUT INSTEAD WE'RE LEFT SCRATCHING OUR HEADS, SAYING, "WTF?"! (YOU EVEN ADMITTED IT YOURSELF!)LOL...YOU SAID: "But there was something about this Bible that was like no other book I had ever read. I read the Bible for the second time and understood enough to want to pray for forgiveness of my sins."????????.... (I DONT MEAN TO BE RUDE,BUT, I DONT KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO PUT IT.) YOU EITHER WORSHIP EVIL, OR YOU DONT COMPREHEND WHAT YOU READ VERY WELL!... CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, BUT IN THE BIBLE YOU DO SEE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT KILLING, RIGHT? RIGHT! YET, HE CREATED THE 10 COMMANDMANTS WHICH TOLD US "THOU SHALT NOT KILL". HE EVEN SAYS ITS OK TO HAVE SLAVES! NOW WHAT KIND OF LOVING GOD WOULD TELL US ITS OK HAVE SLAVES? (BY THE WAY, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE ENSLAVEMENT OF BLK PPL, WAS THAT ALL APART OF GOD'S PLAN?) WHAT KIND OF LOVING GOD WOULD TELL US TO RAPE OUR DAUGHTERS OR WOMEN IN GENERAL? WHAT KIND OF LOVING GOD WOULD TELL US TO KILL? HELL, HE EVEN TALKS ABOUT KILLING BABIES!!! WHAT KIND OF LOVING GOD WOULD WANT TO KILL BABIES???... CAN YOU READ??? ITS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE!!! ITS NOT LIKE I JUST PULLED THESE SCRIPTURES OUT OF MY HEAD! ITS ALL WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE!!! PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE READING!!!... IF I CONSTANTLY TOLD YOU THAT GRASS WAS PURPLE INSTEAD OF GREEN, YOU WOULD EVENTUALLY BELIEVE ME! LOL... THATS WHATS SO AMAZING ABOUT THE BRAIN! IF YOU LIE AND PURSUADE THE MIND ENOUGH, YOU CAN HAVE A PERSON SAYING AND BELIEVING THINGS THAT HE KNOWS DOESNT MAKE SENSE!... YOU HAVE A MIND, DONT BE AFRAID TO USE IT!

Dear Mila2008,

 

The difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament makes all the difference in the world.  The Old Testament shows how Sin corrupted humanity and separation from God and death became our fate.  The New Testament shows God’s mercy and love in forgiving our Sins by substituting Himself in our place. All of the corruption you talk about in the Bible was the choice of human beings.  God gave us freedom of choice and we chose evil rather than good.  At one point God stepped in and destroyed the entire human race except for one family because of all of the wickedness.  

 

You seem to take a lot of pride in the human mind.  It is with the human mind that our existence is on the brink of destruction.  Sin separates us from the Mind of God and places us at the mercy of dark forces in the world.  Many of us want to blame God for all the wickedness because it is much easier than to take responsibility for our destructive choices.  You have a choice right now.  You can continue to blame God for everything which leads to despair or you can take a leap of faith and ask the God of the Bible to open up your heart to see the truth of needing a Savior to set you free.

 

Genesis 6:5-8

 

The Lord saw how great human wickedness on the earth had become, and that all of their thoughts were only evil all the time.  The Lord was grieved that he had made humans on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.  So the Lord said I will wipe human beings, whom I have created, from the face of the earth – humans and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air – for I am grieved that I have made them.  But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

 

 

 

Without a doubt, Mila, GOD is  TRUE LOVE or  PERFECT.

 

Without a doubt, Mila, no man can ever be PERFECT except THE CHRIST or THE MESSIAH.

GOD IS CREATOR of male and female.

GOD IDENTIFIES  HIMSELF AS MALE  OR NOT  AS OTHER THAN MALE .

GOD  IS  THE  FATHER  OF  ALL  NOT  the  mother.

 

 

In the Bible, we learn why GOD CALLS HIMSELF MALE  AND NOT  FEMALE in that GOD IS CREATOR OF ALL so ONLY GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL .

 

 

In the Bible, both the Old and New Testament, both show us the extreme kindness of GOD or HIS MERCY towards ALL HIS CREATION.

 

The Bible, in both the Old and New Testament tells that the male was created first in the image of GOD WHO IS MALE, then GOD created the female from the male's body by taking one set of the rib cages from the male leaving him with one set of ribs only instead of two sets of ribs or two rib cages. So, this is why all males only have one set of ribs or one rib cage intstead of two rib cages because GOD took one set of ribs from the body of Adam and created the female from it, therefore, giving the rib cage to her body.

 

The Bible tells the male was created for:

Loving and serving GOD, leading and protecting;

Then the female was created from the body of the male for:

Loving and serving the male by helping him as he wants to be helped by her and nurturing or caring deeply for the male and their offspring or children which can be male or female.

 

 

GOD's extreme kindness or HIS MERCY  IS  NOT WEAKNESS to be used against HIS CONTROL OVER  ALL HIS  CREATION  BECAUSE  IN TIME,  ALL  OF GOD'S CREATION will bow TO HIM or TO THE  MYSTERY TRUE  PERFECT  LOVE WHO IS  GOD THE FATHER .

Yes, in the everlasting life or in Heaven, the male and female will become like angels and will both be equal in serving GOD and given command over angels of GOD.

 

 

TO BYYOURSIDE... I POINTED OUT TO YOU ALL OF THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT GOD PUT IN THE BIBLE, AND YOUVE YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY OF IT! WHAT ABOUT THOSE SCRIPTURES I POSTED! DID GOD NOT WRITE THIS! DID GOD NOT SAY KILL DISOBEDIENT TEENAGERS? DID GOD NOT SAY ITS OK TO HAVE SLAVES (IN SO MANY WORDS)? HE EVEN TELLS US WHAT TO DO WITH OUR SLAVES! OR YOU SAYING THAT GOD MADE A MISTAKE WHEN HE WROTE THIS? YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THE PART IN THE BIBLE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT WHAT A WOMAN'S PURPOSE IS FOR, BUT YOU DIDNT SEEM TO AGREE WITH ANYTHING ELSE I POSTED? HMMM? SENSE YOU AGREE THAT GOD TOLD US (IN THE BIBLE) THAT WOMEN WERE CREATED TO CARE FOR MEN AND THEIR OFFSPRINGS, DOES THAT MEAN GOD WANTS US TO HAVE SLAVES ALSO? BECAUSE THAT WAS IN THE BIBLE ALSO! OHHH, SO THATS WHY BLACK PPL WERE ENSLAVED FOR SO MANY YEARS? IT WAS BCUS GOD SAID IT WAS OKAY TO TURN OTHER HUMAN BEINGS TO SLAVES!... YOU DONT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY OF THIS BECAUSE EVEN YOU CANT EXPLAIN ALL THE NONSENSE IN THE BIBLE, BECAUSE IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE! YOU HATE TO THINK OF THE MOST PERFECT AND ALL-KNOWIN AND LOVING GOD AS AN EVIL GOD WHO CONDONES SLAVERY, RAPE, AND KILLING! SO YOU DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO AVOID EVERTHING I SAY! LOL... WHY WOULD AN ALL-KNOWIN AND LOVING GOD PUT ALL OF THE NONSENSE I DESCRIBED IN THE BIBLE???... BY THE WAY, WHO CREATED GOD? HE'S A MAN! AND WELL, HAVE YOU EVER KNOWN A MAN TO BE CREATED WITHOUT A WOMAN? NO MAN CAN EXIST WITHOUT A WOMAN! HOWEVER, A WOMAN CAN BORE A CHILD WITHOUT THE HELP OF A MAN! (THE VIRGIN MARY, PERFECT EXAMPLE! LOL)... EVEN JESUS WAS BORN FROM A WOMAN!... P.S. ANSWER ALLLL OF MY QUESTIONS WITH HONEST AND DIRECT ANSWERS PLSZ! AND STOP AVOIDING MY QUESTIONS!

"Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whoseoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day." (Exodus 35:2)ISNT THIS A BIT HARSH? GOD THINKS SOMEONE SHOULD BE STONED FOR WORKING ON A SUNDAY? ___________________________________________________ For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God." (Exodus 34:14) HMMM? LOL ___________________________________________________ "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them; Then shall his father and mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of the city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear." (Deuteronomy 21:18-21) DO YOU SEE THIS PARENTS? GOD SAYS ANY STUBBORN AND REBELLIOUS SON SHOULD BE STONED! WELL I GUESS EVERY TEENAGE BOY SHOULD BE KILLED (LOL)! ___________________________________________________ "If any man take a wife, and go in unto her . . . and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid . . . and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die . . ." (Deuteronomy 22:13-21) GOD SAYS ANY WOMAN WHO IS NOT A VIRGIN ON HER WEDDING NIGHT SHALL BE STONED! DO YOU SEE THIS LADIES? LOL ___________________________________________________ "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." (Isaiah 45:7) NOW WE KNOW WHOSE TO BLAME FOR ALL EVIL, GOD HIMSELF! ____________________________________________________ "If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) IF A MAN FINDS AND RAPES A WOMAN WHO IS NOT ENGAGED, THE WOMAN IS FORCED TO MARRY HER RAPIST? WHILE THE RAPIST SIMPLY PAYS HER FATHER A FINE!?... WHY DOES GOD SEEM TO "HATE" WOMEN SO MUCH? WHAT KIND OF "LOVING" GOD WOULD SAY ITS OK TO RAPE A WOMAN? _______________________________________________________ "And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. . . . a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous. Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire . . . he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord do sanctify them." (Leviticus 21:16-23) DO YOU SEE THIS! GOD SAYS HANDICAPPED PPL ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE CHURCH! WHAT KIND OF "LOVING" GOD WOULD DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SOMEONE WITH A BIRTH DEFECT? _______________________________________________________ "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26) HUH? JESUS THINKS WE SHOULD HATE OUR PARENTS? ________________________________________________________ "And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes." (Luke 12:47-48) NOW I KNOW WHY SLAVERY WENT ON FOR SO LONG. JESUS ENCOURAGED SLAVERY! HE EVEN TELLS US HOW WE SHOULD BEAT OUR SLAVES! ________________________________________________________ "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34) "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled? But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division." (Luke 12:49-51) YOU SEE! JESUS ADMITTED IT HIMSELF! HE DIDNT COME ON EARTH TO START PEACE, BUT TO START WARS! ___________________________________________________________ "Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up." (James 5:14-15) DO U SEE THIS CHRISTIANS? GOD DOES NOT WANT US TO SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT, WE SHALL PRAY INSTEAD! __________________________________________________________ "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shame-facedness and sobriety; not with broided [braided] hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array." (I Timothy 2:9) DO U SEE THIS LADIESs! ANY WOMAN WHOSE WEARING A GOLD WEDDING BAND, GOLD EARINGS, PEARLS, BRAIDS, OR EXPENSIVE CLOTHING IN THE CHURCH ARE BREAKING GOD'S LAW! (WHY IS GOD SO SEXIST?) ___________________________________________________________ "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 if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35) "I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3) "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord." (Colossians 3:18) "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." (I Timothy 2:11-15) AGAIN LADIES! GOD SAYS WOMEN SHOULD REMAIN SILENT IN THE CHURCH! FOR ALL YOU WOMEN WHO ARE SPEAKIN IN THE CHURCH, YOU ARE BREAKING ONE OF GOD'S LAWS! _________________________________________________________ "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again." (Luke 6:30, repeated in Matthew 5:42) LOL...TRY ASKING CHRISTIANS FOR THEIR HOUSES AND POSSESSIONS, AND SEE HOW FAITHFUL THEY ARE TO THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS LOL!
