I have read through many of these listed herein and found a mix og Holy Angels and evil Angels. Needless to say that we all hope to encounter the holy angels as they are the messengers of God that help us in our journey of life to gain our way into heaven. However we know of the demons the evil angels that roam within the realm of our existence doing battle with the Holy Angels to steal our souls. We must realize this as a reality for the battle of good angels against evil angels is continuously happening though we cannot see it. This is Gods will to save us from the temptations of sin that can lead mankind to the eternal torments of hellfire. The Holy Angels battle against the snare of demons to work at saving our souls for heaven with all their strength. The deciding factor on the victory of good against evil is how we choose to react to tempmtation. My friends please do not be misled that these angels are not for real but they are there and are very strong and indeed working our in our desires and we must pay heed to them through our hearts and conscience to save our souls to the committment of God almighty.

There are two problems with the list.

1. You didn’t not provide any context to these verses.

2. You did not translate (or explain) these verses in simple/modern English. (English for me is a second language, I am not very good at it. So, I was unable to understand these verses quoted in old English.)

The bible may have been manipulated by ‘princes of the church’ (bishops) to control uneducated people. I feel strongly the contexts about women not allowed to speak in church or over men is one which is ‘man-made’ in the translations. Surely, Jesus mingled among women in his apostlate i.e. his mother Mary, Mary Magdeline; and listened to their counsels, suggestions and they feed, clothed Him and his apostles while they worked, just as missionaries are now being cared for by housekeepers, mainly women. Since I am one of the “heathen groups” from the New World (North America) what do I know,right? In the bible there is asection where the apostles are ordered to take his ‘Word’ to the far reaches of the earth. I don’t believe this part, I doubt whoever wrote this knew the true context of the meaning during its translation as the new world was not yet discovered.

What it all boils down to is, who do you say Jesus is? Jesus was not a myth, he was recognized and written about by other historical authors other than those in the Bible. You can’t get around that.

Please forgive those who want to “push the bible down your throats.” You see, God tells us that, “Whosoever believes in him will not perish (i.e. sent to hell, which is a lake of fire made for Satan and his fallen angels and who will forever be burning there!) but have everlasting life.” We only try to help you believe so that you’re not thrown into hell for eternity (that is a billion years times…well, forever–it never stops). Don’t get mad. Thank them for caring, if anything.

If you have any interest, whatsoever, in the possibility that Christ was sent here to actually help you, there is an excellent website at http://www.khouse.org. Dr. Missler, whose website it is, has several excellent publications, like Cosmic Codes, which may just open your eyes a bit and realize the bible is a wee bit more than the notion it’s just “a collection of tribal stories” and such. Try to keep and open mind.

my comment is that the context came from the verses and not the entire chapter!!!

A lot of these passages are not “lessons on morality”; “Several rude children were eaten by bears” /= “It is a divinely revealed moral imperative to feed rude children to bears”.

Editorials in list format like “10 Reasons Porn is AWSOME” belong in their own special section. Or maybe on Cracked or asbergianfreeassociationaboutspiderman.com
