You are right it is there in black and white. instead of reading for themselves most allow themselves to be lead by another who most likely has his own ideas and traditions of men. and don't forget for almost all religions there is money involved. We can figure the Bible out just read it , it is so simple to understand.

Yes you are right that Jesus came for peace and love. I think you were misled by the verse that you have read. Jesus came with a SWORD. What kind of sword?\n\nIt is not literal iron sword but WORDS of the Father!\n\nEPHE 6:17 -  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

I love when people say "read the bible!" after the guy just posted the verses he wants to discuss.\n\nIf the example he gives shows moses killing CHILDREN!!  How can you possibly say he did it b/c he had to or it was justified?  If god told you to go kill children you would do it?  You are sick.  Does that mean that the woman in texas or wherever who drowned her kids b/c she thought they were demons did the right thing?

That means one God is true, but two isn't. That there's only one.\n\nBut I don't believe that. :(

There's a passage I got memorized,\n                       seems appropriate for this\n                       situation: Ezekiel 25:17. "The path\n                       of the righteous man is beset on\n                       all sides by the inequities of the\n                       selfish and the tyranny of evil\n                       men.  Blessed is he who, in the\n                       name of charity and good will,\n                       shepherds the weak through the\n                       valley of darkness, for he is truly\n                       his brother's keeper and the finder\n                       of lost children.  And I will\n                       strike down upon thee with great\n                       vengeance and furious anger those\n                       who attempt to poison and destroy\n                       my brothers.  And you will know my\n                       name is the Lord when I lay my\n                       vengeance upon you."\n\nAlthough its a very inaccurate quote if you actually check that passage in a bible.

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. \n9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. \n10Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. \n2Cor. 8:10

To worship God. Read the bible sometime

Ephesians 5:31 So again I say, a man must love his wife as a part of himself; and the wife must see to it that she deeply respects her husband-obeying, praising and honoring him.\n\nI was reading some self help type book and came across this verse men love his wife - wife respect your husband.  I have read the Bible completely ten times and did not remember that part of the verse and looked it up and sure enough it was there\n\nThis dawning that my husband truly needed me to respect him, I did things for him out of love but that was not as important to him as showing respect for his decisions.  It freed up a lot of things within our marriage.

God has made of ONE blood ALL Nations of Men\n\nActs 17:26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation (Gen.11:8-9 below):\n\n\nI believe that when the Lord confounded the language at the Tower of Babel (Gen.11:1-9 below),  what also  accompanied the confounding of the language would have been that with the many languages that were given, the skin pigmentation and features of the people changed according to the languages given, so that when the people were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth (Gen.11:8-9 below), the skin pigmentation/features went with them to their respective regions of the earth?\n\nGen.11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.\n\nGen.11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.\n\nGen.11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.\n\nGen.11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.\n\nGen.11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.\n\nGen.11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.\n\nGen.11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language (Gen.11:9 below), that they may not understand one another's speech.\n\nGen.11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of ALL the earth (Gen.11:9 below): and they left off to build the city.\n\nGen.11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth (Gen.11:7 above): and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of ALL the earth (Acts 17:26 above).\n\n\n\nPat (ndbpsa ©)

YES\n\nIt means it is made up to try to make Jesus seem more than a the son of a carpenter.\n\nWithout that the bible wouldn't be much of a novel would it

This does not apply to anyone during the current times. It applied to the Old Testament people, but now we are in the New Testament. Instead we are commanded to BE the servants for other people, but not in slavery but more in humbleness, trying to help the person out.

Rom 9:21  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? \n\nYou can read the chapter for more details.\n\nRemember, the Jews are His own. God gave them honor even though they did not give honor to Him\n\nIsa 43:4  Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
