PROOF: America in the Bible!
 
As we all know, America is God's favorite country. However, a lot of godless atheists try to dispute that fact with their silly arguments, saying that "America isn't even in the Bible" and so on.

Well, if America isn't in the Bible then how come that the state of Alabama is mentioned in Ezekiel 20:29?
"Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day."
As you can see, this PROVES that God told the ancient prophets about Alabama and the existence of America thereof.

Furthermore this PROVES that God exists, since how in the world could Ezekiel have known about Bama if it wasn't for the guidance of our Lord?

And finally, this PROVES that atheists are stupid retards who can't read and hate America, WHICH IS A CHRISTIAN NATION!!!

For further evidence on this point...

It is well known that God wants us to be richly rewarded for our faith.

Quote:

2 Samuel 22:21
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

2 Chronicles 15:7
Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

Psalm 31:23
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: for the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.

The United States is the single most powerful and wealthy nation in the world. It should obvious to anyone with eyes to see that God loves America more than any other nation. We were founded on Christian principles, and Jesus has rewarded us for that.

Do not forget

Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10

But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 8:18

and

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John 1:2


I wish I was so loved by Christ, I was an American:not_i:

I don't think we're talking about the same thing here. I'm talking about Alabama, not some jooish place for demon worship.

Yes, I realize that is what you were referring to but the Bible is clearly not referring to the state of Alabama.

I will first refer you to Exodus 3:8 which says "And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites."

Now you can see that God is talking about a "land of milk and honey" which God himself states is the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Now you should take a look at Ezekiel 20:5-6 which states "And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God. In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands."

Now, notice that once again God speaks of the "land of milk and honey" and also that in verse 6 he says "In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them."

Specifically remember that because it will become vital to remember in the next verses I'm going to show you.

Ezekiel 20:28-29 God states "For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings. Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day."

God mentions once again about the place he had lifted up his hand to give them, just as he did in Ezekiel 20:5-6. This place is clearly the "land of milk and honey" whose location God specifically identified in in Ezekiel 3:8. Then finally in Ezekiel 20:29 God asks the name of the specific place in the aforementioned "land of milk and honey" where the sacrifices were offered in Ezekiel 20:28 and the answer given to God was of course "Bamah."

So as you can see from the Bible itself, God is not referring to the state of Alabama but a place in Israel.

I would direct you to the post in the link below which was written by Heathen Basher who is obviously a respected member on this forum where he says "Scripture or it didn't happen." I was just following what he said which is why I used scripture in my previous post.

Your own unsaved interpretations of the scriptures are of no interest to me or any of my True Christian™ brethren. God hates you, we hate you, and I sincerely hope that you'll enjoy roasting in hell.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Psalm 55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

A bunch of claptrap and suppositions that don't exist.

Ezekiel 20 says that they are scattered in verse 23

I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

Verse 28 says that God gave them Israel.

For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.

In Verse 29 Ezekiel asks a rhetorical question.
Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day.

The Jews were going to Alabama. They must have sailed into the Gulf of Mexico and settled there.

Dr. Alex has made yet another brilliant discovery! :yahoo:

Thank you for pointing this out, brother. That would be the most logical explanation indeed.

Let's also look again at the quote from Ezekiel 20:29:
"Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name whereof is called Bamah unto this day."
Notice the words "high place" and look what I found on this website on Alabama's geography:

Quote:

The highest point in Alabama is Cheaha Mountain at 2,407 feet above sea level. Cheaha Mountain, from the Creek Indian word meaning "high place" is located in Lineville, Alabama.
A coincidence? I think not.

Re: PROOF: America in the Bible!
 
I am saddened that people like Xtina Nikson (note I cannot bring myself to associate Christ with her name) deliberately misinterpret scripture and take the Bible out of context. It's an example of anti-American communist atheism and would not have happened without enablers such as Obama in the White House.

God loves America and as PROOF I would point out that we lead the world in every category. If we are not God's chosen land, then why would he so richly bless us?

Correct. The Bible MUST be referring to Alabama, for there are no queers there, simply steers. And guns. And rednecks. And alligators. And marshes. And mountains. And hot weather. And horses. And horse ranges. But no queers. Thank out good Lord for that.

Great theory, I must say.

I guess we already know that you speak to your mother like that, so there's no point in my asking.

Your vulgarity is not acceptable here. This is a Christian church's discussion forum, not your mother's trailer.

As something speaking to you all from a land outside America, are not all the people of the earth loved by God and are his children? I know some children have been treated more favourably than others but surely we are all equals before God, man and country alike.
