Re: what the bible teaches
and if I said, I have a blood line tree drilled back to almost the first century would it make you nervous? A king of turkey in the blood line. Roger Bacon etc.... would you be scared upon realizing what all mankind have all been looking for is simply the truth, and not some magical being. All a man can do is give with no need of things and be truly good.....
It is a choice thing and the first choice is to be honest, no matter what!
Do not trust them nobles and the teachers of faith as they retain the ignorance of hope, rather than pursue the intent of 'life to continue'... (evolution of knowledge)......
Keep the faith in yourself to be pure with absolute integrity, rather than someone elses promise of magic as a solution.
Nothing and I mean nothing in existence will ever UNDO any atrocity imposed to existence..... that is the first fact each must observe...........
Be responsible and never lie or misrepresent..... as to fib proves no honor to "thy mother and father'......

this is what we have to put our trust in .
And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite; Daniel 2;44.
and the one who has been given kingship in that goverment of God is you guessed it ,GODS SON JESUS CHRIST. DANIEL 7;13-14
Thats what the bible teaches

Re: what the bible teaches
but this is what we must remember.......
Quote:
|
Jesus’ second coming or presence is not seen with the literal eyes, but with the eyes of understanding.—Eph. 1:18.
|
that the individual or the person referred to as god's son, is not the core beauty to our existence. The gain to our species is the understanding shared by a gift of a choice; to contribute for 'life to continue.'
it is the knowledge of understanding that brings equality to all

Re: what the bible teaches
Quote:
|
2</SPAN>Rested on him hath the Spirit of Jehovah, The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge and fear of Jehovah.
|
To seek all knowledge is to find wisdom. To understand in true form, then each can know the responsibilities of each choice (fear of god).
(as even a fib defending a belief is irresponsible)
Quote:
|
24</SPAN>And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!'
|
Then who have been in doubt are the ones who know what understanding means; to comprehend what was unknown. But them who judge un- righteously are with the limits of a single ‘doctrine.’
Quote:
|
17</SPAN> To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
|
It is them who expose themselves to knowledge and humble learning that have the ability to see; understanding.
Quote:
|
12 Then he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
|
The true spirit of ‘christ’ is the humble who seek the truth for the benefit of others; such as Daniel
Just about a mirror from above; the wisdom!
Quote:
11He replied, "The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
13This is why I speak to them in parables:
"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
" 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.
16But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it
18"Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:
19When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
20The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.
21But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.
23But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."
|
So to seek knowledge is good; as the truly humble continue in learning as the complacent wish not to hear.
To learn and understand is better; as to seek the comprehension enables the truth to be known.
To understand and teach what is true, yields much much more.
This was to share that knowledge is not isolated to one source. To doubt with a true heart is what offers the intent to learn. By focusing on the choice to understand, over the isolation of specific doctrine allows comprehension to be experienced within the seeking soul. The ability to learn and combine personal experience with true reflection offers the ability to share what is pure, allowing the knowledge itself to develop, as you can contribute to the life of understanding; contribute knowledge.
Understanding is by the combination of knowledge of many things.
Quote:
|
31</SPAN>He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.
|
Quote:
32Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."
33He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough."
34Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.
35So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:
"I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."

The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the [true] God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole [obligation] of man. For the [true] God himself will bring every sort of work into the judgment in relation to every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad.
ECCLESIASTES 12;13-14

Re: what the bible teaches
Quote:

10The preacher sought to find out pleasing words, and, written [by] the upright, words of truth.
|
Word of truth... is the priority!
Quote:
11Words of the wise [are] as goads, and as fences planted [by] the masters of collections, they have been given by one shepherd.
12And further, from these, my son, be warned; the making of many books hath no end, and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh.
13The end of the whole matter let us hear: -- `Fear God, and keep His commands, for this [is] the whole of man.
|
And the priority is thou shall not fib...... if all them books is of god, then even if tiring, the fear of god means be responsible, and not lie........ this is the truth to the whole of mankind; be responsible for every line item of choice you represent
Quote:
|
14For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.'
|
For all the 'works' are of god.... and every hidden truth (what is life) will be known.... whether (you think) it is good or bad........... the truth is of god and the honoring of all his contributers............. is what reveals the truth....
This is what the bible teaches.

Well then keep it simple:
"A life devoted to things is a dead life...a God shaped life is a flourishing tree."
"Unless you assume a God, the question of life's purpose is meaningless" (Bertrand Russell, atheist).
The purpose of life is for God and God alone. Think Colossians 1:16

And if you recognized that god is not a person, place or thing, yet of all, with all, the beginning and end.... etc...
Then GOD IS all of it. And in a literal sense; all mass, all energy, all time....
god is revealed in the 'nature' of things.....
So be devoted to god; this is good!
But never think one man's god is better than another man's god...... the issue is whether each man has the integrity to know god in the true reality of existence itself.......... the total.
That is when each can see god in all things. That is when each of us can know god, personally. That is when each and every choice made, whether a fib, a murder or even to dishonor another for selfish reasons, that the atrocity is real, and each one has a responsibility to it. That is when each can be true to existence itself and live by what they do versus what they believe.
that is what the bible teaches!

Jehovah is the source of Dynamic Energy
"Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? . . . Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing."—
Isa. 40:26.
JEHOVAH is limitless in power.
Yes, Jehovah is "vigorous in power," and he is the Source of the "dynamic energy" used to bring the entire universe into existence.
He is the most high psalm 83;18
Jehovah—The One Who Is Vigorous in Power
this is what the bible teaches

The earth is round?  
So again, the mee me, opens up a can of worms.......... was this not shared in Galilleo's initial inquiry?
Thank you mee me.... as even when the puffed up mindset represents fruit of the self; with the eyes of truth another can find some good in each.

at a time when most people believed that the earth was flat, the Bible spoke of "the circle [or, sphere] of the earth." (Isaiah 40:22)
And over 3,000 years before the famous scientist Sir Isaac Newton explained that the planets are held in empty space by gravity, the Bible poetically stated that ‘the earth is hanging upon nothing.’ (Job 26:7)
the bible is always right

It is them who expose themselves to knowledge and humble learning that have the ability to see; understanding.
quote]
This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ. JOHN 17;3
YES INDEED the true God is Jehovah as psalm 83;18 informs us . and listening to Jesus is what the true God wants us to do as LUKE 9;35 informs us .
humility is what it is all about , it works wonders to our understanding .

mee me...... the exchange is that each is quite intent on the new and the Peace thereof after the inevitable. The main issue is what exposure and true observance is being granted?
Meaning; of our differences the prime one is one side describes with magic and omnipotence, the other with grounded knowledge honoring God and all the contributers within the time of mankind versus the time of christianity.
Try a bigger piece of the pie! (apple)
