how about the 10 commandments?\n\nExo 20:2  [#1]  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. \n\nExo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me. \n\nExo 20:4  [#2]  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. \n\nExo 20:5  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; \n\nExo 20:6  And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. \n\nExo 20:7  [#3]  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. \n\nExo 20:8  [#4]  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. \n\nExo 20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: \n\nExo 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: \n\nExo 20:11  For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. \n\n[Note:  The "sabbath day" being referred to here is the Hebrew/Israel/Jewish sabbath day [the seventh (7th) day of the week, Saturday], that begins Friday at sundown, and continues until Saturday at sundown.] \n\nExo 20:12  [#5]  Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. \n\nExo 20:13  [#6]  Thou shalt not kill. \n\nExo 20:14  [#7]  Thou shalt not commit adultery. \n\nExo 20:15  [#8]  Thou shalt not steal. \n\nExo 20:16  [#9]  Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. \n\nExo 20:17  [#10]  Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. \n\nExo 20:18  And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. \n\nExo 20:19  And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. \n\nExo 20:20  And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. \n\nExo 20:21  And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. \n\n~ Idols and Altars \n\nExo 20:22  And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. \n\nExo 20:23  Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold. \n\nExo 20:24  An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee. \n\nExo 20:25  And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it. \n\nExo 20:26  Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.

Yes. The Bible tells it.

Well, in the book of Revelations, it says, "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city". Rev 22:14\n\nYou could tie that in with the fall of Adam and Eve when they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the Lord sewed fig leaves for coverings for them when they knew they were naked....?

Duet 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.\n\n31 Thou shalt not do so unto Yahweh your Father: for every abomination toYahweh, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.\n\n32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.\n\nWe were commanded to keep the laws of Yahweh strictly!\n\nGenesis 3:1-7—\n1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?\n2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;\n3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die.\n4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die.\n5 For Yahweh knows that in the day you eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as gods (elohim), knowing righteousness and evil.\n6 So when the woman saw that the tree was desirable for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.\n7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized that they had sinned; they had violated Yahweh's Laws. Because they had not kept Yahweh's Laws, they were afraid. \n\nRevelation 12:9—\nAnd the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, who deceives the whole world. She was cast out into the earth, and her angels were cast out with her. \n\nNotice, Genesis 3:7 shows that they sinned. The Theological Word Book of the Old Testament by Harris, Archer and Waltke Volume 2, page 695, shows that the Hebrew root word oram, which was translated naked in the King James Version, is correctly translated sin. Sin is the transgression or breaking of Yahweh's Laws. \n\nI Yahchanan 3:4—\nWhoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law. \n\nDaniyl 7:25—\nAnd he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and think to change the Feasts and holy days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time. \n\nThis religion changes Yahweh's Laws. Remember, she devours the whole earth which means she has changed the Laws of Yahweh in the minds of all people on earth. That's exactly what the last revelation given to mankind shows is the case for this time period. The teaching that mankind does not need to keep or adhere to the inspired Laws of Yahweh has been placed in the minds of all who dwell on the earth in this generation. They have been taught to accept and partake in a mixture of righteousness and evil, which is the same teaching Cain, being led by Satan, presented.

As far as I've studied the Bible clearly is against various forms of Divination!\n\nWherever its been mentioned in the Bible, it always has a negative connotation! Only the prophets of Old were allowed this by God!\nDIVINATION IN THE BIBLE \nThe Hebrews coming from Egypt -- a land teeming with diviners -- and dwelling in a country surrounded by superstitious tribes, would have their inborn desire for foreknowledge intensified by the spirit of the times and their environments; but God forbade them repeatedly to have anything to do with charmers, wizards, diviners, necromancers, etc., all of whom were abomination in His sight (Deut., xviii, 10, 11). The ideal was in Balaam's day when "there is no soothsaying in Jacob, nor divination in Israel" (Numbers 23:23), and to preserve this, the soul that went aside after diviner God declared He would destroy (Lev., xx, 6) and the man or woman in whom there was a divining spirit was to be stoned to death (Lev., xx, 27). \n\nAll the various forms of divination, regardless of the name by which they are called, stand in sharp contrast with, and open defiance of, the Holy Bible. God through Moses sternly and repeatedly warned Israel not to take up these divination practices of the other nations, saying: “There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to God, and on account of these detestable things your God is driving them away from before you.” (De 18:9-12; Le 19:26, 31) Even if their prophetic signs and portents came true, practicers of divination were not exempted from condemnation. (De 13:1-5; Jer 23:32; Zec 10:2) The Bible’s extreme hostility toward diviners is shown in its decree that all such were to be put to death without fail.—Ex 22:18; Le 20:27.\n\nThe only mention in the Christian Greek Scriptures of demonic predicting of the future is the instance in which the apostle Paul, in the city of Philippi, freed “a certain servant girl with a spirit, a demon of divination.” She had furnished her masters with much gain “by practicing the art of prediction.” Manifesting the fact that such practice is truly demonic and diametrically opposed to God, the masters of the girl from whom the demon was cast out caused Paul much trouble in Philippi, bringing Paul and his companion Silas before the magistrates, who gave the command to beat them and then threw them into jail.—Ac 16:12, 16-24.

God is not a genie, that he would appear to us and grant us our wishes, we should be asking him "What Can I Do For You Lord" I believe that is one of our biggest problems we are so worried about what we want that we tend to forget what He wants. But IF God were to ask me What Wish I had, that is that we would ALL Know Him, so their would be no more killing in the name of God

witches were common in those days, although their mystical abilities were never mentioned in Scripture.\n\nmiracles are the hand of God working in the physical realm.  \n\nthe book of revelations is a sign of what will happen in the future, many things can be considered metaphorical, but we must realize that back then the technology was different, they didnt have many of the things we do today, therefore couldnt describe them with "proper" terminology.  ie, the beast.  it could be a computer (there is a supercomputer im brussels by this name that was created for the purpose of storing the personal information of every human being on its hard drive.  the tracking method is said to be a chip placed under the skin in the back of the hand or the forehead [sound like the mark of the beast placement?] that can be scanned to access all information)\nezekiel is also riddled with what may appear to be mysticism, but may be an ancient man's interperetation of what he was seeing as a vision of the future.

We are all free moral agents, when you break the Laws you cause curses to come upon your own head.  Yahweh loved us enough to give us his Laws of prevention, but mankind has chosen to cast them behind him and make every known excuse not to keep them.  Don't blame Yahweh, look at the man in the mirror or the person in your genealogy who willing and dilberatly chose disobey Yahweh.\n\nRead.......\n\nDeuteronomy 30: 10 if you shall obey the voice of Yahweh your Father, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law; if you turn to Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul.\n\n11 For this commandment which I command you this day, it is not too hard for you, neither is it far off.\n\n12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?"\n\n13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it to us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?"\n\n14 But the word is very near to you, in your mouth, and in your heart, that you may do it.\n\n15 Behold, I have set before you this day life and righteousness, and death and evil;\n\n16 in that I command you this day to love Yahweh your Father, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your Father may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.\n\n17 But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship gods, and serve them;\n\n18 I denounce to you this day, that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land, where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it.\n\n19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;\n\n20 to love Yahweh your Father, to obey his voice, and to cleave to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days; that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Yaaqob to give them.

Good Question:  \n\nAsk and it shall be given to you; Seek, and ye shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened to you.” – Matthew 7:7\n\n“The gods help them that help themselves.” -- Aesop\n \nIn all cases, it is you who have to make anything happen.

Not for Israelites under Old Testament law.  Now whether it is accceptable to God now, I don't know, but I wouldn't think it would be wise to do so.  Better let the past stay past.

the holy bible is full of prophecies, i suggest you look into the fullfilled and soon to be fulfilled prophecies. It's better than codes, believe me.

Drop the silly stupid attitude them look at Psalms 22. There you will see King David making one of the greatest prophecies of all time. The main text of the prophecy is short I have included it here. That shows that the Bible does have authority... Jim\n\nPsalms 22:12-18\nMany bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.\nThey gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.\nI am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.\nMy strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.\nFor dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.\nI may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.\nThey part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture\n\nFor Scientific evidence that God is real  I guess because of the lenght of this answer you'll have to ask me for it off-line...

False. The Bible is a masterpiece of ancient literature with some good advice and wisdom. Your brain is the owner's manual should you choose to let it be.

You ask which "should" be the final set of rules to govern how we live in the USA. The clear implication is that you seek a value judgment, rather than a legal analysis. \n\nThe legal analysis is obvious -- the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. The Bible is a religious text with no legal authority. \n\nHowever, if you believe that the Bible is the revealed, literal word of the Almighty, then clearly you have no choice but to prefer its dictates to the Constitution or any other man-made law. But, this is only the personal opinion of the believer. There is no object proof of the existence of God, nor can there ever be, because if God were provable by any scientifically valid experiment, God would instantly cease to be supernatural, i.e., cease to be God. \n\nSo, the answer is, that until God returns and demands that we follow His supreme laws, we must follow our own, and hope that our choices in making those laws are sufficiently wise to please the Lord of all hosts. \n\nIf not, then I'm fairly certain He will let each of us know in time.
