Re: "But where is the lamb?" Five loving words about sacrificing children and pets.

Ugh, I don't know if you're stupid or just try to piss me off, it was an exaggeration, an hyperbole, I used 100000000 as an hyperbolic number, to represent my affirmation that you want women to have many children, like five, ten or a little more. Hyperboles are not to be taken literally, you only must understand the idea behind one. God, don't you even know the speech figures?

Well, you forgot to mention that you didn't mean it literally. I mean, a hundred thousand babies is just plain impossible (from a human standpoint - of course, God can make it possible, if He wants). Even at the rate of 16 babies every 3 years (assuming quadruplets every 9 months), between the ages of, let's say, 15 and 51, which is 36 years (or 9 periods of 3 years each), that gives us a grand total of 144 children.

With a little bit of God's help, extending the childbearing age to 87 (not an unreasonable number, as God gave Abraham a son when Sara was in her 90's), we can double this number to 188. (Feel free to check my math, I'm doing it all in my head, without a calculator).

You always say women are stupid, but you just confirmed that ignorance is a choice, not a matter of gender

1 Corinthians 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

"But where is the lamb?"

The Bible is such a great book. Without it we would be left to our own standards, of ethics, or crime, or "holiness" if that would even be possible. Godless savages don't seem to be getting on so well do they.

The Bible is the book for me. In it I read about God's lovingkindness and rejoice. Thank You, Jesus

Psalm 17:7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. KJV

From earliest records the pattern had been established, atonement using blood. Only living blood is good enough. When the Author of Life itself Himself dies, all of Creation is purged, subject to various conditions set out in The Bible. Abraham understood this; he had beed educated in holiness and responded to God's Audible Voice without hesitation.

And God was faithful

Obedience led to King David and to Jesus. In the interim were The Judges, direct conduits from God but not actually kings or lawmakers; they enforced God's Just Law.

Satan doesn't like that. Satan's standard is warped and twisted and sick.

The Bible records how God indeed showed His Marvellous Lovingkindness, saving by His Right Hand them which put their trust in Him from those that rose up against them. Judges were the highest stratum of society, the supreme example. And according to their Trust In Him, so God rewarded their promises and their actions.

Judges 12:7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead. KJV

Satan was sending savage barbarians to rise up against Jephthah's Israel. They would be bloody and merciless, they would chop maim and kill. Jephthah was moved to respond. He talked to God.

Psalm 145: 8-10 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: and his tendermercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. KJV

God listened.

Judges 11:9-11…Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head? And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words. Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.

OK, so the Ammonites were told "Back off you toerags" and did they back off? No. Of course not. Satan was so into them.

Such wisdom. Thank you.

Few atheists, or even luke warm "Christians", understand this. For God to show his love, it is necessary for many children and pets to be killed. Living blood is ground zero of His love for us and ours for Him.

The invitation to give up your young children for God is the path to heaven.

Good question, Brother Jeb.

I hope the poster above never set foot in Landover Baptist. Yes, it is our duty as True Christians™ to bring the unsaved and unwashed to the community of Christ. I need to be completely truthful here, there are some I dislike and privately hope never to see in our circle.

In this case, it is obvious in the Bible children were sacrificed for God. No one should get upset over this, it is what brought us to the perfect state of Grace we enjoy here at Landover Baptist.

I'm not sure what "nookie" is but I doubt it's Godly.

Right where?

I wondered that too. We know that blood is alive (not in the form of blood pudding presumably it having been superheated with steam) and that without blood draining out, actually sprayed over wretched sinners assembled to atone for their condition before God, no forgiveness can ever be possible. Everyone is born in that condition and no matter how many bulls are slaughtered by one's parents or grandparents, the vile curse brought down by Eve and transmitted to us through Adam can never be reversed. Here is some blood pudding.

intact pudding <—— sliced ——> Scottish variant

Christians accept that condition of birth but have the blood of Jesus, drizzled out of Him, running and dripping onto the ground, The Perfect Atonement for the rottenness of sin. Sin every baby is born full of, revolting to God and deserving only of torture, over and over again. When God looks at a Christian He sees that blood, the blood of Jesus, still alive and penetrating the whole world, enabling Him not to strike us down as He struck down all those wretches, all age groups, male and female, babies, geriatrics, buffalos and eels in the dreadful flood all those years ago. Only 8 survived but sadly resumed sinning again almost immediately with a genital viewing of all things really it's just too revolting and I don't need to dwell on that here.

Savages murdered their own children (this is why God wiped everyone out in the first place but certain types seem unable to learn) and God exposed Abraham and Isaac to the trauma of tying up a son/being bound by a father, placing or being placed on an altar for gouging with a knife and incineration so that more blood could run out while it was still alive for God to see. But God is a loving god and didn't really want that to happen so snared a ram which would be inconvenient enough for the creature except that it got to be chopped alive and burned instead just as Jesus would be run through in the future.

Genesis 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

That helps us to understand how much God loves us – but didn't mean there was a permanent moratorium¹ on sacrificing a loved family member. Isaac's blood would have gone off after a while but Jesus' blood remains alive today and that is what God sees when observing Christians. Does that mean family members have special "magic" status for Christians as they do for disbelievers obsessing over one another as if their progeny were the next Mozart? Of course someone will outdo Mozart eventually, generally he's thought more likely to compose "some wicked techno" if reincarnated than Beethoven (who evidently inspires the metal) but I digress. The progeny in question rarely seems equipped for either rôle. Jesus knew this and explained about family members as follows:

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

It could be this area of God's Perfect Love causing uncertainty. Satan does that all the time: "Don't listen to the Christians," he'll say, "They want you to stop [fill in revolting detail] for good because (ew!) blood." Satan wants everyone to suffer just as God explains we all deserve, forever.

I hope that is helpful.
