Dear 2ndPillar zealot,
Not sure what thread it is but I shared my experience about reading the biblical myths...
Between 1982 and 1992 I read cover to cover somewhere between 8--12 times a YEAR...
HOSEA 5:14 is the god created by men...it is NOT the God I know...
Micah 6:8 is the GOD I KNOW----the GOD I know does not FEAR, is not JEALOUS nor does the GOD I know THREATEN to "tear to pieces" those who do not bow down a kiss the ground (aka arse) of some vengeful entity..
So my question is--HAVE YOU EVER LISTENED TO THE WORDS OF CHRIST?
THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Gospel of St. Matthew 5:3-10
