I mean, #adultery is just as punishable by death according to the #OldTestament as #homosexuality is but you don't see #Christian #pastors today inciting #hate #mobs about #divorced people infiltrating our schools and promoting the #secondmarriage agenda to your children. I mean, the #Catholics still care if you've divorced and remarried but we've largely lost this #culturewar. Why can't we stop the hate rhetoric and talk about #God 's #love instead?

A quotation from The Bible

Set me as a seal upon thine heart,
   as a seal upon thine arm:
   for love is strong as death;
   jealousy is cruel as the grave:
   the coals thereof are coals of fire,
   which hath a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,
   neither can the floods drown it:
   if a man would give all the substance of his house for love,
   it would utterly be contemned.
 
שִׂימֵ֨נִי כַֽחוֹתָ֜ם עַל־לִבֶּ֗ךָ כַּֽחוֹתָם֙ עַל־זְרוֹעֶ֔ךָ כִּֽי־עַזָּ֤ה כַמָּ֙וֶת֙ אַהֲבָ֔ה קָשָׁ֥ה כִשְׁא֖וֹל קִנְאָ֑ה רְשָׁפֶ֕יהָ רִשְׁפֵּ֕י אֵ֖שׁ שַׁלְהֶ֥בֶתְיָֽה׃
מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֗ים לֹ֤א יֽוּכְלוּ֙ לְכַבּ֣וֹת אֶת־הָֽאַהֲבָ֔ה וּנְהָר֖וֹת לֹ֣א יִשְׁטְפ֑וּהָ אִם־יִתֵּ֨ן אִ֜ישׁ אֶת־כׇּל־ה֤וֹן בֵּיתוֹ֙ בָּאַהֲבָ֔ה בּ֖וֹז יָב֥וּזוּ לֽוֹ׃ {ס}

A quotation from The Bible

My beloved has gone down to his garden,
   to the beds of spices,
to pasture his flock in the gardens
   and to gather lilies.
I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine;
   he pastures his flock among the lilies.

Ah, you are fair, my darling,

With your dove-like eyes!

Beautiful indeed!
Our couch is in a bower;
Cedars are the beams of our house,
Cypresses the rafters.

A quotation from The Bible

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
   he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
   he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
   I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
   thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

A quotation from The Bible

Lord, who may enter your Temple?
   Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill?
Those who obey God in everything
   and always do what is right,
whose words are true and sincere,
   and who do not slander others.
They do no wrong to their friends
   nor spread rumors about their neighbors.
They despise those whom God rejects,
   but honor those who obey the Lord.
They always do what they promise,
   no matter how much it may cost.
They make loans without charging interest
   and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will always be secure.

A quotation from The Bible

   Samuel told the people who were asking him for a king everything that the Lord had said to him. “This is how your king will treat you,” Samuel explained.
   “He will make soldiers of your sons; some of them will serve in his war chariots, others in his cavalry, and others will run before his chariots. He will make some of them officers in charge of a thousand men, and others in charge of fifty men. Your sons will have to plow his fields, harvest his crops, and make his weapons and the equipment for his chariots.
   “Your daughters will have to make perfumes for him and work as his cooks and his bakers.
   “He will take your best fields, vineyards, and olive groves, and give them to his officials. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your grapes for his court officers and other officials. He will take your servants and your best cattle and donkeys, and make them work for him. He will take a tenth of your flocks. And you yourselves will become his slaves.
   “When that time comes, you will complain bitterly because of your king, whom you yourselves chose, but the Lord will not listen to your complaints.”
   The people paid no attention to Samuel, but said, “No! We want a king.”

Riddle-Poem 12/31/2025

The stumbling of a stupid ox
And bungled balance of a box
Resulted in my strickening.
I barely even touched the thing
When instinct chose to instigate
A sudden care for sacred freight.
Henceforth that place in name shall be
Where the Lord burst out against me.

Riddle-Poem 12/29/2025

My usual task, to drill the Earth
And make the fabric stay,
Familiar from my ferrous birth,
Is set aside today.
Beyond my once expected worth
I’m valued versatile
For drilling drunk, unconscious girth
Beneath a woman’s wile.

Riddle-Poem 12/28/2025

I’m smuggled past the Sculptured Stones
Attached to muscled meat on bones
Prepared to pierce thick layers of fat
When Right Thigh of a Diplomat
Conspires with Left Hand of a Judge.
I’m stuck, but now I neatly nudge
Embarrassment outside the door
By spilling dirt across the floor.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

One of these gods, according to the account, drowned an entire world, with the exception of eight persons. The old, the young, the beautiful and the helpless were remorsely devoured by the shoreless sea. This, the most fearful tragedy that the imagination of ignorant priests ever conceived, was the act, not of a devil, but of a god, so-called, whom men ignorantly worship unto this day.

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, Illinois

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

   “And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thy hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword. But the women and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself, and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies which the Lord thy God hath given thee. Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. But of the cities of these people which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth”
   Is it possible for man to conceive of anything more perfectly infamous? Can you believe that such directions were given by any being except an infinite fiend? Remember that the army receiving these instructions was one of invasion. Peace was offered upon condition that the people submitting should be the slaves of the invader; but if any should have the courage to defend their homes, to fight for the love of wife and child, then the sword was to spare none — not even the prattling, dimpled babe.

#Worship #Christianity #Prophecy #OldTestament #Messiah #Jesus

If you've ever wondered why #god in Abrahamic #religion like #christianity is so cruel in the older legends and writings -

If you trace the history of the legend back, God came from Yahweh which was one of many gods which led to #judaism and a #monotheism based religion.

Yahweh became God, and he was originally a god of #war and #punishment.

He sure did do a lot of that in the #oldtestament after all.
