Anyway. I am glad to see you, as this time around you seem to be willing to be more accepting Jesus' Word as is, rather than as you would like it to be.
I hope you have found some time to review Dr. White's excellent treatise about the difference between living and dead trees. It was such a beautiful explanation.

I'm not sure which version. I perfer Ubuntu although I have not had time to test much after Fedora. I have been reading a lot in Revelation it talks 3 beasts, the beast that was, the beast that is, and the beast that always was (I think) what does that reference? It's in chapter 1.
-Ps 25:10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
-Ps 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
-James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Dear Friend,
Revelation 1 is about the vision of John and a description of Jesus, there is no mention of the beast.
Revelation 1:13-16
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Now, are you suggesting that this manifestation of Jesus is beastly? He utters the sentence that you're paraphrasing in a somewhat inappropriate manner.
Revelation 1:8
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
As far as I know (and I know quite far) beasts appear in Chapter 5 as ζῷον (with the typical neuter plural ζῷα) and in Chapter 13 as θηρίον. Which one are you referring to? Please, if you wish to present your case as sincere, do the necessary preliminary work by actually checking the KJV before quoting it from your fallible memory.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer

My thoughts go to the habit of referring to money as "bread" or "dough". What is meant with such an expression is that money is what is used to purchase the substances of bread and dough, which are needed to sustain life.
And of course, who could forget Jesus' words in the 35th verse of the Gospel according to John?
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Is Jesus actually saying that he is made from flour and water and yeast? Of course not. He is telling us that His Personhood permanently fills the spiritual hunger and thirst within us.
Sometimes, the Bible uses poetic license. But not when it comes to sins that will get you sent to hell. When God declares something an abomination, He is not exaggerating for effect like when telling a redhead not to wear pink.
An assignment to the abomination bin is a command, not a suggestion, and there is nothing lyrical or equivocal about it. Sometimes, the Bible does not use poetry.
Ask our pastors if you are unclear about any given verse.
His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

Brother Elmer, I see two possibilities:
A) This confused soul is actually so dim that he did not know he could post everywhere.
Or:
B ) This soul has been aware from the beginning that he was able to post everywhere but he is so self-centered that is physically unable to post in a thread that is not about him.
Based on the available evidence, which of these two options do you see as the more plausible one, Professor?

Dear Curtis,
I think the point being made was that while your apologies seem to be genuine, you appear to be very self-centered. Care more for others than yourself and get involved in other discussions. Whilst it is always good to air the linen, so to say, sometimes you have to realize that there are other poor souls here who need our help as well.
Remember this little verse, which is one I always think of when people are being self-centered.
Psalms 10:4 - The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts

Isaiah 66:15
For behold, the Lord wil come with fire, and with his charets like a whirlewinde, to render his anger with furie, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Your example reads: “.Good example ; oh that's a great verse let's remember it .” so.. er.. can you see where this is going? WHAT'S a great verse? In this introduction which you're trying to hijack a Bible verse has been posted. I cited it, highlighted it in yellow and linked to the OP. So if that's not the verse you meant.. er.. am I the only one having déjà vu here? Yes: you do need to quote the verse your example refers to. It seems to be a verse offered without context that's causing you concern. Eager to accommodate you I addressed that by explaining how full context was included in OP rather than thinking you'd found a great verse to remember but not reading before or after.
Here in your own introduction it's been very difficult to get a Scripture reference from you. In post #45 you quoted Revelation 17 without context and although the text in your signature links to the Biblia page, for those having signatures turned off Isaiah 11 doesn't really count. By way of contrast topics such as Linux or ubuntu seem to elicit responses bringing us back to my earlier point. You did not actually quote a verse in your reply where one was necessary. By responding in this thread you can correct the oversight with appropriate Scripture.

Liz my example did not require a scripture, I was was posting as her looking at the Bible saying oh this is a good verse let's follow it. Then I made it clear she wasn't paying attention to the verses before or after. (MeaingMi don't know what verse she looked at so there's no reason to give one)
-Ps 25:10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Re: I come in peace let's talk -

Leviticus is an important section of God's Word and chapter 19 covers the principle of inappropriate mingling. It's a chapter referred to by Jesus in several ways. In verse 19 for example (here is where I cite the passage)
Leviticus 19:19a Ye shall keep my statutes. the association between loving Him and keeping His commandments is brought out by Jesus. Obviously no-one who loves Jesus would don a luminous monokini and stand on the street corner with a sign reading
.$95 - ANYthing.
because that contravenes numerous commandments, many of which may be found in Leviticus. Part of maintaining a wall of separation between the clean and the unclean involves knowing how to judge in an appropriate way. If you saw someone acting out a fetish character on the bus .— .I'm more familiar with trains where in corridors by sleeping compartments some very strange attire may be seen my advice would be to get your head down early and stay there .— .where was I? ..oh yes, on the bus: what would you do?
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. Jesus knew all about trains. He also knew Leviticus. During the Roman era all sorts of depraved urges were abroad but depravity is not love. It's not even hate, the things they get up to and the way they stand or walk along swivelling their eyes and rotating their necks as though of hemlock they had drunk or more likely cactus juice then turning up next door showing off (or wobbling around in the all night cocktail lounge) it makes me feel sick just thinking about it. So, appreciating the opportunities trains would afford once invented, Jesus reminded us to
Matthew 22:37-39 ..love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Heathens misconstrue love in ways Jesus never intended regardless of whether they've read Leviticus, Matthew or John. Or Judges or Deuteronomy, two very helpful records of God's love and how important it is to follow His commandments. Scripture requires context and it's always an encouragement when the context is supplied; posting an entire chapter is not normally required but reading links are helpful and I'm happy to encourage anyone providing them.
Leviticus 19:17b-18 Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
