True Christian™ Bibliomancy - God's Guide to Everyday Conundrums!
Bibliomancy is the highly technical word for the practice of opening books and random places and searching for answers by reading the first passage one looks at. At its worst, it is divination and thus strictly forbidden by Jesus!
Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, This means that any wanton use of the Bible to predict the future by mortal men is an abomination. But what if we let God aka Jesus do the talking? By the modern methodology of the Interwebs we can avoid any confounding factors by the inquisitive man and let God do all the answering. If we were to use a material book of paper, papyrus or vellum, our subconscious cravings might affect the outcome. This can be avoided by turning to the Interwebs and their resources. There are several Random Bible Verse Sites to choose from and I chose the Truly Random Bible Verse Generator as it seems to refer to True™ Christians™. What I did is as follows:
1. Will I catch the sodomite AIDS today? Proverbs 4:17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
John 1:37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Deuteronomy 17:20 That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
4. Are all vegetarians evil? Deuteronomy 9:20 And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
Esther 5:10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
Psalms 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Now that post-post-modernism is raging, there's a trend away from Foucault but towards (if that's the right word) Nostradamus. How likely is it that as a Jewish Roman Catholic he would have access to reliable Scripture?
Secondly, since he did not use random text generators (although from what I heard of his stuff, who knows?) would it be acceptable for a Christian to acknowledge him as a seer or prophet? Thank you. |

I have absolutely no idea about the issues Sister Mitza raised. So_let's_ask_GOD!

Re: True Christian™ Bibliomancy - God's Guide to Everyday Conundrums!
Thanks for confirming what I suspected. There were many Jewish people who did receive Christ, The New Testament explains, yet I strongly doubt any of them became Roman Catholics. It's a no-brainer, really: Christianity rejects idols utterly as does Judaism. Catholicism embraces them enthusiastically, as many as they can get.
It would be an interesting comparison. Catholic versus Hindu: who has the most idols? |

I was skeptical of Brother Elmer's suggested method, so I used it to ask God whether I should continue to use it. Here's the random verse that God visited upon me:
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 GLORY!!! |

Question: Will Gates and Fauci be tried by a military tribunal for crimes against humanity?
Answer: 1 Chronicles 3:24 - "And the sons of Elioenai were, Hodaiah, and Eliashib, and Pelaiah, and Akkub, and Johanan, and Dalaiah, and Anani, seven." I'm... not sure I understand. Further prayer is required. |

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. You just need to ask again until the answer is satisfying and in concert with your Prayers. Yours in Christ, Elmer :bye: |
Re: True Christian™ Bibliomancy - God's Guide to Everyday Conundrums!
Maybe I am lost, I feel like I am going in circles here. It seems to have all started here:ἀπαιτέω, apaiteō I have no idea what that means as I don´t speak Greek. I only eat their food.
Then Elmer comes along and says: ¨You just need to ask again¨. This gets way to complicated. Please let me get some δεῖπνον deīpnon. |

Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Food in not pivotal, Jesus is. Once in Heaven (if and only if you get there which seems unlikely), He'll keep you in satiety. Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Yours in Christ, Elmer :bye: AND that's Mr. White to you unbelivers! |
