Jesus used parables to separate the wheat from the chaff. Jesus said 'woe to ye' for a nation that carried the guilt of the blood shed for speaking the truth. Isaias was reportedly sawn asunder; so was Jeremiah being stoned. by rebels as' lynched to use a current mode of mob rule, and what if they do it in the deep South,yes in the Bible belt with no prick of conscience whatsoever, and their ilk are mourned with great fanfare and for the shallow Christ it is Jesus was glorified. So our generation is same as the generation of vipers Jesus fulminated against. Jerusalem was in the words of Nahum,"Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;" Is Babylon any better? All men are equal Bill of Rights guarantees citizen but what is this whoredom Evangelicals commit with oligarchs to serve their commands? It is surely a perilous path for city on a hill to become a synanym for Babylon the great. Yest the mystery of the great whore was simply this: hypocrisy. Rev.18.21 shall put an end to their charade. Jesusb faulted, "hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness."(Mt.23.27)
"Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."' This is how the Spirit has set faces between heaven and the earth user firiendly for the just shall profit from it while the wicked and hypocrites shall let it pass them to their own damnation.."For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven/To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure." (Job28.24-25) Noah's ark judged the old world. "The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth."(Prov.10.20) What man idolizes, and the memorial service for fools mean nothing to God.
Acts 2:28 is nice :) but... not my handle. I'll have to consider that one if I join some other group.
My handle is Acts 2:38. Hope you like that.
My preference is to see the scriptures being used right along with the reading. Takes the guess work out of it.
Jeremiah being stoned, did you use Lamentations 3:53 for this? My understanding is that is a stone put over the hole not that he was stoned with stones, and it only a singular stone.
My eye sight is not all that great so it is 2.38; be that as it may the word of God is sure and you cannot go wrong.
The Bible is written for our spiritual instruction in righteousness. So there is no guesswork. Jeremiah being shut up in a cistern is not what I am referring to. The end of prophets like Isaiah or Jeremiah are from other sources may be reliable or wrong. But extra-Biblical sources serve our purpose to some exxtent.
All scripture is God -reathed so comparing the text with anothher has to be done comparing spiritual with spiritual.
I think I understand some of this post. It would be nice to see more bible references to back up your statements. I can't seem to get through it. For example, where is this?
Jesus said 'woe to ye' for a nation that carried the guilt of the blood shed for speaking the truth.
I think its a combination of scriptures, I just may not be studied up enough to get it.
Honestly, I think I agree with you and your post looks thoughtful just cannot seem to get through it but I'm willing to try.
Firstly I compliment you for the handle you have chosen. I just checked it myself. "Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance." Now to the specifics"
I was referring to Mt.23 in general. Check 23.35
I have been quoting from the Bible so long and I assumed those who visit me are already well familiar with the scriptures.

I just read v.38. I refreshed my memory. Repentance and remission of my sins were ages ago. But.v.28 I could do with every day and every moment, Amen,
