Re: Hello from a Pious Portuguese

Brother James, what country were you in when you were incarcerated on vacation? I've been to several barter meetings here in the US and they were all held indoors. I can't imagine any country that would object to that unless they were heathen Mosleem countries.

It was in the US of A , a little town, Danbury Connecticut, wonderful place to vacation for 18 months.

I never knew such a thing could happen in God's favored country, the United States of America. But then I came across this: http:/x/www.msgdanbury.org/

It seems those Mosleems are spreading like a disease. From now on I am going to have to search the InterWebs before I go anywhere for an inside barter meeting. It is against God's will to prevent trading and bartering. He likes the idea and even says so with his God-breathed words.

Genesis 34:10 -- And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.

Genesis 34:21 -- These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

Genesis 46:34 -- hat ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

I see nothing in those passages that a True Christian(tm) should not trade inside. And your vacation was totally outrageous. Even at the end of times trading was only suspended for one hour:

Revelation 18:17 -- For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

In passing, I think God approves of the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Exchange:

Genesis 47:17 -- And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.

Leviticus 27:10 -- He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy
