A Good read

LordReed:
LoL! Let's hear what our Christian apologist brethren have to say on this.

CC: hupernikao, jamesid29, Image123

Image123:


Not really sure what you need me to say in this. As the passage states, they resurrected AFTER His resurrection. Clearly, the event did not happen at the time of Jesus' death. The style of the apostle's writing is not necessarily chronological. It's not like he went to some literature school or college, he's just narrating events. This pattern is seen in other parts of the Gospel and even Bible. For example, Matthew 24 is not wholly chronological. It's not a movie or film, neither is he compulsorily going to put flashback signs. This is writing from centuries ago(from Galilee) when writing was not as developed as today.
We are not told much about who the saints are/were. So we cannot authoritatively say or establish. The Word is usually established by two or three witnesses. But just like every other resurrection in the scriptures(except Jesus'), they would probably have died again, or it could be the pattern of appearance of Moses and Elijah. Not many people really care, because it is of course insignificant to our salvation or faith. They are simply events that happened and that God can do, and that we believe God will do in future(the believers await the resurrection/rapture).

Matthew wasn't relating a literal event but a vision of what will happen in the nearest future!
It's a vision of what will happen in the future due to the sacrifice Jesus just made with his own blood. No dead bodies left their graves because resurrection will only take place when Jesus call {John 5:28-29} the one who will make that call is dead so it's a vision not literal event!

This answer is just on another level.

Matthew-27-52-53
52 and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
53 They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and e went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

Got these answers on Quora, would be nice to share yours too.

Dick Harfield
As Matthew 27:52-53 states, they walked into Jerusalem where they were seen by many. This must have been a terrifying sight, yet it seems that no one wrote about the event or mentioned seeing a dead relative alive again.

MindHacker9000:

The only report is in Matthew’s Gospel, which New Testament scholars believe was written more than fifty years after the time of the crucifixion.

MindHacker9000:

Having made their way into Jerusalem to stir up as much discord as possible, the saints presumably made their way back into their graves and somehow pulled the dirt back over themselves.

MindHacker9000:

There was no report of many empty graves or of cadavers lying uncovered in their graves.

MindHacker9000:

Ian Wilson expresses a different view in Jesus: The Evidence, saying of this and other miracles that Matthew, alone of the gospel accounts, associates with the passion:
it is probably safest to regard these as pious embroideries by an author demonstrably over-fond of the miraculous.

MindHacker9000:

although the saints were resurrected at the exact moment that Jesus died, they didn't actually emerge from their tombs until after Jesus himself had come back to life a couple of days later on the Sunday morning.

MindHacker9000:

This makes sense (and shows a lot of consideration and restraint on their part), because Jesus’ resurrection was designed to demonstrate that he was actually God,

MindHacker9000:

and not just a wandering Jewish preacher with an over-active imagination. It wouldn't have looked too good if he had ended up being the fifteenth or twentieth person to totter into town on the Sunday, trailing bits of tattered shroud and reeking of embalming fluid.

MindHacker9000:

As to what all those saints did afterwards, unfortunately Matthew didn't take any follow-up notes.

MindHacker9000:

Perhaps they lived out the rest of their days as embalmers, funeral directors, or motivational speakers, and trying to work out how on earth they managed to accidentally walk in on the set of a different religion.

26. And God Said,

"Let us make Man in Our Image,
after Our Likeness:
and let them have Dominion
over the Fish of the Sea,
and over the Fowl of the Air,
and over the Cattle,
and over all the Earth,
and over every Creeping Thing
that Creepeth upon the Earth.
27. So God created Man
in His Own Image,
in The Image of God created He him;
male and female created He them.
28. And God Blessed them,
and God Said unto them,

"Be fruitful, and multiply,
and replenish the Earth,
and subdue It:
and have Dominion
over the Fish of the Sea,
and over the Fowl of the Air,
and over every Living Thing
that moveth upon the Earth.”

GOD CREATED MAN TO HAVE DOMINION OVER ALL THE EARTH, AND EVERYTHING OF IT- IF A CHRISTIAN HAS BEEN PROPERLY BROUGHT UP, THEY WILL NOT NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL- LET ALONE "PREPARE FOR EXAMS:" BECAUSE THEY WILL ALWAYS KNOW THE PERFECT ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION THEY EVER NEED TO ANSWER!

They disappeared afterwards and went to heaven . The bible Jesus carried them captive

Psalms 68:18 (KJV)
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive:
thou hast received gifts for men;
yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.


Ephesians 4:8 (KJV)
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.


Ephesians 4:8 (NLT)
8 That is why the Scriptures say,
“When he ascended to the heights,
he led a crowd of captives
and gave gifts to his people.”


Ephesians 4:8 (BBE)
8 For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

We are told that Jesus came to set the captives free and you are now saying below that Jesus took the saints away as captives. What kind of answer is this?

MISHIGAS!



THERE ARE EIGHT LEVELS OF LIFE: SEVEN HEAVENLY AND ONE EARTHLY- THESE LEVELS ARE ORDERED ACCORDING TO THEIR SPIRITUAL POWER LEVELS, AND PROXIMITY/REMOTENESS TO THE THRONE OF GOD.

The Seventh Heaven Life is the most powerful, while the first Heaven Life is the least powerful, but is on a higher Spiritual Energy level than Earthly Life.



God created Man to have Dominion over Earthly Life: to that end, He gave Man Heavenly Life, when He created Adam.

. GENESIS 2:7-22.

7. And The LORD God
formed Man of
the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils
The Breath of Life;
and man became
a Living Soul.
8. And the LORD God
planted a Garden
Eastward in Eden;
and there He put the Man
whom He had formed.
9. And out of the ground
made The LORD God
to grow every tree
that is pleasant to the sight,
and good for food;
The Tree of Life also
in the midst of the garden,
and The Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil.

10. And a river went out of Eden
to water the garden;
and from thence it was parted,
and became into four heads.
11. The name of the first is Pison:
that is it which compasseth
the whole land of Havilah,
where there is gold;
12. And the gold of that land is good:
there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
13. And the name of the second river
is Gihon:
the same is it that compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
14. And the name of the third river
is Hiddekel:
that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria.
And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15. And The LORD God took the Man,
and put him into the Garden of Eden
to dress It and to keep It.
16. And The LORD God Commanded
the Man,
Saying,

"Of every Tree of the Garden
thou mayest freely eat:
17. "But of the Tree of The Knowledge
of Good and Evil,
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou
eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

18. And The LORD God Said,

"It is not good that the Man
should be alone;
I will make him
an help meet for him."

19. And out of the ground
The LORD God formed
every Beast of the Field,
and every Fowl of the Air;
and brought them unto Adam
to see what he would call them:
and whatsoever Adam called
every living creature,
that was the name thereof.
20. And Adam gave names to all Cattle,
and to the Fowl of the Air,
and to every Beast of the Field;
but for Adam there was not found
an help meet for him.
21. And The LORD God caused
a deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
and he slept:
and He took one of his ribs,
and closed up the flesh
instead thereof;
22. And the rib,
which The LORD God had
taken from Man,
made he a Woman,
and brought her unto the Man.

GOD BREATHED INTO ADAM'S NOSTRILS DIRECTLY, THUS GIVING MAN HIS HEAVENLY SPIRIT.

. JOHN 20:19-23.

19. Then the same day at evening,
being the first day of the week,
when the doors were shut
where the Disciples were assembled
for fear of the Jews,
came Jesus and stood in the midst,
and saith unto them,

"Peace (be) unto you."

20. And when he had so said,
he shewed unto them his hands
and his side.
Then were the Disciples glad,
when they saw the Lord.
21.Then Said Jesus to them again,

"Peace (be) unto you:
as (my) Father hath sent me,
even so send I you."

22.And when he had said this,
he breathed on them,
and saith unto them,

"Receive ye The Holy Ghost:
23. "Whose soever Sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them;
(and) whose soever (Sins) ye retain,
they are retained."

GOD HAS SEVEN DIFFERENT SPIRITS, EACH OPERATING ON A SUCCESSIVELY HIGHER SPIRITUAL ENERGY LEVEL THAN THE ONE BENEATH IT.



WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING ARE INTRINSIC TO HEAVENLY LIFE FORCE, BUT NOT TO EARTHLY LIFE FORCE.

To receive Heavenly Life, one must receive Heavenly Wisdom and Understanding.



. DEUTERONOMY 12:32-13:5.

32. What thing soever
I Command you,
observe to do it:
thou shalt not add thereto,
nor diminish from it.
IF there arise among you a Prophet,
or a Dreamer of Dreams,
and giveth thee a Sign or a Wonder,
2. And the Sign or
the Wonder come to pass,
whereof he spake unto thee,
saying,

"LET US GO AFTER OTHER GODS,
WHICH THOU HAST NOT KNOWN,
AND LET US SERVE THEM;"

3. Thou shalt not hearken unto
The Words of that Prophet,
or that Dreamer of Dreams:
for The LORD your God proveth you,
to know whether ye love
The LORD your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul.
4. Ye shall walk after
The LORD your God,
and fear Him,
and keep His Commandments,
and obey His Voice,
and ye shall serve Him,
and cleave unto Him.
5. And that prophet,
or that Dreamer of Dreams,
shall be put to death;
because he hath spoken
to turn you away
from The LORD your God,
Which brought you
out of the Land of Egypt,
and Redeemed you
out of the House of Bondage,
to thrust thee out of The Way
which The LORD thy God
Commanded thee to walk in.

IT IS VERY BAD TO ADD TO SCRIPTURE OR TO SUBTRACT FROM SCRIPTURE- IT THEN BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND.



THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT OF THE LAW, FOR US, IS TO CHOOSE LIFE.

The Commandments of God must be agreed-with on all six levels of Existence.

Agreement with the Commandments is agreement with God.

At the level of TOTAL UNDERSTANDING, an living imprint of the MIND, KNOWLEDGE, PERSONALITY, and POWER of God is recorded on the Soul, to permanently abide with the true Worshippers of God.


. JOHN 14:15-28.

15. "If ye love me,
keep my Commandments.
16. And I will pray The Father,
and He shall give you
another Comforter,
that He may abide with you
for ever;
17. "Even The Spirit of Truth;
Whom the World cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth Him:
but ye know Him;
for He dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
18. "I will not
leave you Comfortless:
I will come to you.
19. "Yet a little while,
and the World
seeth me no more;
but ye see me:
because I live,
ye shall live also.
20. At that day ye shall know
that I am in my Father,
and ye in me, and I in you.
21. "He that hath
my Commandments,
and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest
myself to him."

22. Judas saith unto him,
not Iscariot,

"Lord, how is it that
thou wilt manifest thyself
unto us,
and not unto the World?"

23. Jesus Answered
and Said unto him,

"If a man love me,
He will keep my Words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
24. "He that loveth me not
keepeth not my Sayings:
and the Word which ye hear
is not mine,
but The Father's
Which sent me.
25. “These things
have I Spoken unto you,
being (yet) present with you.
26. "But The Comforter,
(Which is) The Holy Ghost,
Whom The Father
will send in My Name,
He shall Teach you All Things
and bring all things
to your Remembrance,
whatsoever I have
Said unto you.
27 “Peace I leave with you;
My Peace I give unto you,
not as the World giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
28. "Ye have heard
how I Said unto you,

'I GO AWAY,
AND COME AGAIN
UNTO YOU.'

If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice,
because I Said,

'I GO UNTO THE FATHER:'

for my Father
is greater than I."



THE RESURRECTION OF SAINTS ALONGSIDE LORD YESHUA PROVES THAT GOD REWARDS HIS SERVANTS WITH LIFE, NOT DEATH- THAT EVEN A RIGHTEOUS PERSON WHO BELIEVES ON LORD YESHUA AFTER THEIR DEATH WILL NOT REMAIN DEAD.



FALSE RELIGION CANNOT ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTIONS- THE TRUE RELIGION HAS WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.



THOSE WHO MEDITATE IN THE LAW OF GOD BY MOSES WILL UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING, HERE ON EARTH.



THE JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES® ARE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS, WHO DO NOT BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES.

. MATTHEW 27:52-53.

52. And the graves were opened;
and many bodies of the Saints
which slept arose,
53. And came out of the graves
after his Resurrection,
and went into the holy city,
and appeared unto many.

THIS IS WHAT MATTHEW SAID HAPPENED: THE JEHOVAH'S WITLESSES® ARE JUST A BUNCH OF FOOLS WHO SAY THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED.

I imagine most of the supposed Christians here are fools, who do not know that the Jehovah's Witlesses® do NOT believe that Lord Yeshua rose from the Dead with his Physical Body.

They do not believe that The Bible says anything It says- only what their Oyinbo Masters tell them It says.



. MATTHEW 27:52-53.

52. And the graves were opened;
and many bodies of the Saints
which slept arose,
53. And came out of the graves
after his Resurrection,
and went into the holy city,
and appeared unto many.

MaxInDHouse IS A LIAR, WHO SIMPLY DENIES WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS HAPPENED.

MATTHEW SAID that THE GRAVES OPENED, SOME SAINTS CAME OUT, AND MANY PEOPLE SAW THEM.

MaxInDHouse says that none of those things happened.

If you believe MATTHEW, MaxInDHouse is useless to you, because you know he is an Unfaithful Witless Witness.

If you believe MaxInDHouse, you cannot trust yourself to understand anything in The Bible again, unless MaxInDHouse tells you how to Believe It.

This is what SLAVERY is.

FREEDOM occurs when one attains THE SEVEN LEVELS OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, and requires no MAN to tell one what to BELIEVE, THINK, READ, SPEAK, WRITE, or DO.

MightySparrow:
If it is talking about resurrection, it is a spiritual thing. There whereabouts after resurrection ? It is one of those things we will understand at the close of all mysteries.

MaxInDHouse:

That book is not some textbook to be read and understood using common logics, because it's about intelligence beings both seen and unseen.

MaxInDHouse:

So if you keep reading it expecting you can grasp it's content without anyone to guide you then it's better you leave it!

MaxInDHouse:

Those given the understanding are using it now and solving the problem that no faculty has ever attempted to solve because the author is not human but GOD!

MindHacker9000:


This answer is just on another level.

MaxInDHouse:

Well i don't know you so let me hint you on the usefulness of the book you're quoting.

*The author of that book is God (according to those who penned down the words)

MaxInDHouse:

*The author is the Creator of heaven and earth (we're not seeing heaven but we're here on earth)

MaxInDHouse:

*The author claims he's the one and only person wise enough to make humans cohabit peacefully (an assertion that we need to verified since peace eludes our society despite our intelligence)

MaxInDHouse:

*The author claims that if we should honestly pay attention to the book we will have PEACE (any sane human often say he has peace but our problem is cohabitation)

oaroloye:


IF WHAT MaxInDHouse SAYS IS TRUE, YAHWEH GOD AND THE PROPHETS WERE FOOLS FOR ISSUING INSTRUCTIONS TO LAYMEN, AS IF THEY WERE EXPECTED TO UNDERSTAND THEM.

As DAWID said: MEDITATION and OBEDIENCE OF THE LAW is the KEY to UNDERSTANDING.

Only a fool would read that, and then say that only a SlaveMaster can explain The Word of God and other Scriptures to us.

That is why nothing can be explained to MaxInDHouse, because HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING: HE ONLY FOLLOWS HIS OYINBO MASTERS' FALSE INTERPRETATIONS.

when thou sittest
in thine house,
and when thou walkest
by the way,
and when thou liest down,
and when thou risest up.
8. And thou shalt bind Them
for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be as frontlets
between thine eyes.
9. And thou shalt write Them
upon the posts of thy house,
and on thy gates.


GOD HAS NEVER AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO TAKE THE PLACE OF ONE'S PARENTS, TO TEACH ONE EVERYTHING ONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT GOD!

. EXODUS 20:1-7.

AND God Spake
all these Words,
Saying,

2. "I am The LORD thy God,
Which have brought thee
out of The Land of Egypt,
out of The House of Bondage.
3. "Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me.

4. "Thou shalt not
make unto thee
any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing
that is in Heaven above,
or that is in the Earth beneath,
or that is in the Water
under the Earth.
5. "Thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them:
for I the LORD thy God
am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity
of the Fathers
upon the Children
unto the Third
and Fourth Generation
of them that hate Me;
6. "And shewing Mercy
unto thousands of them
that love Me,
and keep My Commandments.

7. "Thou shalt not
take The Name
of the LORD thy God in vain;
for the LORD will not
hold him guiltless
that taketh His Name
in vain."

ALL HUMANS BORN ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD FOR THE INIQUITIES OF THEIR PARENTS, THEIR GRANDPARENTS, AND THEIR GREAT-GRANDPARENTS.

. NUMBERS 15:27-31.

27. "And if any man Sin
through Ignorance,
then he shall bring
a She Goat of the first year
for a Sin Offering.
28. "And the Priest
shall make an Atonement
for the Soul
that Sinneth Ignorantly,
when he Sinneth
by Ignorance
before The LORD,
to make an Atonement
for him,
and it shall be
forgiven him.
29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly
(both for) him
that is born
among the Children of Israel,
and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.
30. "But the Soul
that doeth
(ought) presumptuously,
(whether he be)
born in the land,
or a Stranger,
the same reproacheth
The LORD;
and that Soul
shall be cut off
from among his people.
31. "Because he hath
despised The Word
of The LORD,
and hath broken
His Commandment,
that Soul
shall utterly be cut off;
his Iniquity
(shall be) upon him."

GOD HOLDS PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE INIQUITIES OF THEIR THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS- SO THAT THEIR FAILURE TO TEACH US WHAT THEY SHOULD EARNS US NO MERCY.


So if you keep reading it expecting you can grasp it's content without anyone to guide you then it's better you leave it!


BEING BORN AGAIN ENABLES ONE TO PERCEIVE THE THINGS OF GOD- WHICH (YOU HAVE ADMITTED,) YOU DO NOT.

You are just a blind ma- uh, boy, being led by the nose. With no idea where he is going, nor what is going to happen once he gets there.

. JOHN 3:1-21.

THERE was a man of the Pharisees,
named Nicodemus,
a Ruler of the Jews:
2. The same came to Jesus
by night,
and said unto him,
"Rabbi, we know
that thou art a Teacher
come from God:
for no man can do
these Miracles
that thou doest,
except God be with him."

3. Jesus Answered
and Said unto him,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN
BE BORN AGAIN,
HE CANNOT SEE
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

4. Nicodemus saith unto him,

"How can a man be born
when he is old?
Can he enter the second time
into his mother's womb,
and be born?"

5. Jesus Answered,

"Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN
OF WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT,
HE CAN NOT ENTER INTO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'

6. "That which is Born
of the Flesh
is flesh;
and that which is Born
of The Spirit
is spirit.
7. "Marvel not
that I Said unto thee,

'YE MUST BE
BORN AGAIN.'

8. "The wind bloweth
where it listeth,
and thou hearest
the sound thereof,
but canst not tell
whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth:
so is every one
that is Born of The Spirit."

9. Nicodemus answered
and said unto him,

"How can these things be?"

10. Jesus Answered
and Said
unto him,

"Art thou a Master of Israel,
and knowest not
these things?
11. "Verily, verily,
I Say unto thee,

'WE SPEAK
THAT WE DO KNOW,
AND TESTIFY
THAT WE HAVE SEEN;
AND YE RECEIVE NOT
OUR WITNESS.'

12. "If I have told you
Earthly Things,
and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe,
if I tell you
of Heavenly Things?
13. "And no man
hath ascended up to Heaven,
but he that came down
from Heaven,
even The Son of Man
which is in Heaven.
14. "And as Moses lifted up
the Serpent in the Wilderness,
even so must The Son of Man
be lifted up:
15. "That whosoever
believeth in him
should not perish,
but have Eternal Life.
16. "For God so loved
the World,
that He gave
His only Begotten Son,
that whosoever
believeth in him
should not Perish,
but have Everlasting Life.
17. "For God sent not His Son
into the World
to Condemn the World;
but that the World through him
might be Saved.
18. "He that believeth in him
is not Condemned:
but he that believeth not
is Condemned Already,
because he hath not
believed in
The Name of The Only
Begotten Son of God.
19. "And this is The Condemnation,

'THAT LIGHT IS COME
INTO THE WORLD,
AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS
RATHER THAN LIGHT,
BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS
WERE EVIL.'

20. "For every one
that doeth Evil
hateth The Light,
neither cometh
to The Light,
lest his deeds
should be reproved.
21. "But he that doeth Truth
cometh to The Light,
that his deeds
may be manifest,
that they are
wrought in God."

"BORN AGAIN" IN NORTHERN ARAMAIC MEANS: "TO CHANGE ONE'S THOUGHTS AND HABITS." NICODEMUS SPOKE SOUTHERN ARAMAIC, AND HENCE DID NOT UNDERSTAND JESUS. [Footnote to JOHN 3:3,5 in the Lamsa Peshitta Bible.]


Those given the understanding are using it now and solving the problem that no faculty has ever attempted to solve because the author is not human but GOD!

YOU THINK THAT GOD GIVES UNDERSTANDING TO SOME CHRISTIANS, TO MAKE THEM MASTERS OF THOSE WHOM HE DEPRIVES OF UNDERSTANDING, MAKING THEM SLAVES.


. JOB 28:28.

28. "And unto Man He Said,

'BEHOLD,
THE FEAR OF THE LORD,
THAT IS WISDOM;
AND TO DEPART FROM EVIL,
IS UNDERSTANDING.' "

. JOB 39:13-18.

13. "Gavest thou the goodly wings
unto the peacocks?
or wings and feathers
unto the ostrich?
14. "Which leaveth
her eggs in the earth,
and warmeth them in dust,
15. "And forgetteth
that the foot may crush them,
or that the wild beast
may break them.
16. "She is hardened
against her young ones,
as though they were not her's:
her labour is in vain without fear;
17. "Because God hath
deprived her of Wisdom,
neither hath He
imparted to her Understanding.
18." What time she
lifteth up herself on high,
she scorneth
the horse and his rider."

. PSALM 111:10.

10. The Fear of The LORD
is The Beginning of Wisdom:
a Good Understanding
have all they
that do His Commandments:
His Praise endureth for ever.

. PROVERBS 1:7.

7. The Fear of The LORD
is The Beginning of Knowledge:
but Fools despise
Wisdom and Instruction.

. PROVERBS 9:10.

10. The Fear of The LORD
is The Beginning of Wisdom:
and The Knowledge of
The Holy is Understanding.

. ZECHARIAH 4:10.

10. For who hath despised
The Day of Small Things?
For they shall rejoice,
and shall see the plummet
in the hand of Zerubbabel
with those seven;
they are The Eyes of The LORD,
Which run to and fro
through the whole Earth.

. DANIEL 12:10.

10. Many shall be purified,
and made white,
and tried:
but the Wicked
shall do wickedly:
and none of the Wicked
shall Understand;
but the Wise
shall Understand.

THE ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE UNDERSTANDING IS BY REPENTING OF SIN AND KEEPING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS: BY JUSTIFYING THE BREAKING OF COMMANDMENTS, A FALSE TEACHER ELIMINATES UNDERSTANDING IN THEIR FOLLOWERS.

. MATTHEW 13:1-23.

THE same day went Jesus out of the house,
and sat by the sea side.
2. And great multitudes
were gathered together
unto him,
so that he went into a ship,
and sat;
and the whole multitude
stood on the shore.
3. And he Spake many things
unto them in Parables,
Saying,

"Behold, a sower
went forth to sow;
4. "And when he sowed,
some seeds
fell by the way side,
and the fowls came
and devoured them up:
5. "Some fell
upon stony places,
where they had
not much earth:
and forthwith they sprung up,
because they had
no deepness of earth:
6. "And when
the Sun was up,
they were scorched;
and because they had
no root,
they withered away.
7. "And some fell
among thorns;
and the thorns sprung up,
and choked them:
8. "But other fell
into good ground,
and brought forth fruit,
some an hundredfold,
some sixtyfold,
some thirtyfold.
9. "Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear."

10. And the Disciples came,
and said unto him,

"Why Speakest thou
unto them in Parables?"

11. He Answered and Said
unto them,

"Because it is given unto you
to know The Mysteries
of The Kingdom of Heaven,
but to them it is not given.
12. "For whosoever hath,
to him shall be given,
and he shall have
more abundance:
but whosoever hath not,
from him shall be taken away
even that he hath.
13. "Therefore Speak I
to them in Parables:

'BECAUSE THEY SEEING
SEE NOT;
AND HEARING
THEY HEAR NOT,
NEITHER DO THEY
UNDERSTAND.'

14. "And in them is fulfilled
the Prophecy of Esaias,
which saith,

'BY HEARING YE SHALL HEAR,
AND SHALL NOT UNDERSTAND;
AND SEEING YE SHALL SEE,
AND SHALL NOT PERCEIVE:
15. 'FOR THIS PEOPLE'S HEART
IS WAXED GROSS,
AND THEIR EARS
ARE DULL OF HEARING,
AND THEIR EYES
THEY HAVE CLOSED;
LEST AT ANY TIME
THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES
AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,
AND SHOULD UNDERSTAND
WITH THEIR HEART,
AND SHOULD BE CONVERTED,
AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM.'

16. "But Blessed
are your eyes,
for they see:
and your ears,
for they hear.
17. "For verily I Say unto you,

'THAT MANY PROPHETS
AND RIGHTEOUS MEN
HAVE DESIRED TO SEE
THOSE THINGS
WHICH YE SEE,
AND HAVE NOT SEEN THEM;
AND TO HEAR THOSE THINGS
WHICH YE HEAR,
AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM.'

18. "Hear ye therefore
The Parable of the Sower.

19. 'WHEN ANY ONE HEARETH
THE WORD OF THE KINGDOM,
AND UNDERSTANDETH IT NOT,
THEN COMETH
THE WICKED ONE,
AND CATCHETH AWAY
THAT WHICH WAS SOWN IN HIS HEART.
THIS IS HE WHICH
RECEIVED SEED
BY THE WAY SIDE.

20. 'BUT HE THAT
RECEIVED THE SEED
INTO STONY PLACES,
THE SAME IS HE
THAT HEARETH THE WORD,
AND ANON WITH JOY
RECEIVETH IT;
21. 'YET HATH HE NOT
ROOT IN HIMSELF,
BUT DURETH FOR A WHILE:
FOR WHEN TRIBULATION OR PERSECUTION
ARISETH BECAUSE OF THE WORD,
BY AND BY HE IS OFFENDED.

22. 'HE ALSO THAT RECEIVED
SEED AMONG THE THORNS
IS HE THAT HEARETH THE WORD;
AND THE CARE OF THIS WORLD,
AND THE DECEITFULNESS OF RICHES,
CHOKE THE WORD,
AND HE BECOMETH UNFRUITFUL.

23. 'BUT HE THAT RECEIVED SEED
INTO THE GOOD GROUND
IS HE THAT HEARETH THE WORD,
AND UNDERSTANDETH IT;
WHICH ALSO BEARETH FRUIT,
AND BRINGETH FORTH,
SOME AN HUNDREDFOLD,
SOME SIXTY, SOME THIRTY.' "

. THE FOUR LEVELS OF PERCEPTION.

4. DIFFERENTIATION: The sane and intelligent ability to perceive the differences between similar things.

3. ASSOCIATION: The sane and intelligent ability to perceive the similarities between different things.

2. IDENTIFICATION: The insane and stupid inability to perceive the differences between different things.

1. DISSOCIATION: The insane and stupid inability to perceive the similarities between similar things.

0. DEATH: The Complete Failure of the ability to perceive anything.

[See: THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THOUGHT, by L. Ron Hubbard.]



This answer is just on another level.



MEDITATION IS THE WAY TO GET TO DEEPER AND HIGHER LEVELS- BUT IT ONLY [/i]


I appreciate the fact that you atheists always emphasize on the usefulness of human brains but instead of making further research on that you guys just wrappep up everything in one box!


AS YOU JUDGE, [i]SO YOU ARE JUDGED.


Well i don't know you so let me hint you on the usefulness of the book you're quoting.

*The author of that book is God (according to those who penned down the words)


GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE: THE WESTERN BIBLE WAS COMPILED BY THE ARCH-ENEMY OF CHRISTIANITY, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea published 50 Bibles based on the approval of ORIGEN ADAMANTIUS of Alexandria, a follower of ARIUS, who believed that Lord Yeshua was a created being, who was not equal with God, as he himself said he wasn't.

Eusebius presented these Bibles to SUMMUX PONTIFEX EMPEROR CONSTANTINE, the First ROMAN CATHOLIC POPE, at his COUNCIL OF NICAEA in 325AD. These Bibles had 78 Books.

[See: SABOTAGE? by Jack T
Chick.]

The Anglican Church created its own Bible in 1611, based on the manuscripts used to create the Roman Catholic Douay-Rheims Bible- the MASSORETIC HEBREW OLD TESTAMENT, and the GREEK TEXTUS RECEPTUS, favoured by the Jews.


*The author is the Creator of heaven and earth (we're not seeing heaven but we're here on earth)


ORIGEN ADAMANTIUS WAS A MADMAN, WHO CASTRATED HIMSELF, TO MAKE HIMSELF MORE RIGHTEOUS THAN EVERYONE ELSE, AND SO ABLE TO DECREE WHICH SCRIPTURES WERE INSPIRED, AND WHICH WERE NOT. HE WAS LATER DECLARED A HERETIC BY A POPE.

Both the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Church were practicing the Slavery Atrocity, at the time they published the DOUAY-RHEIMS and KING JAMES VERSION Bibles.

They retained all the verses that condemned the sort of Slavery THEY practiced. This tells us that they did not edit The Bible to suit themselves.

Though the British later did that in the early 19^th Century, creating a special Bible to deceive their Caribbean Slave Converts. The whole Book of EXODUS was removed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_bible

At some point, the Oyinbos decided to expel 12 Books from their Bible- while the Ethiopians had as many as 89 Books in THEIR Bible.


*The author claims he's the one and only person wise enough to make humans cohabit peacefully (an assertion that we need to verified since peace eludes our society despite our intelligence)


GOD HAS NEVER CLAIMED ANY SUCH THING: MaxInDHouse NEVER READ ANY SUCH STATEMENT IN THE BIBLE- THAT IS WHY HE LEADS WITH LIES, AND NOT WITH THE WORD OF GOD.

God Promises Peace on Earth only after all the opposition has been slaughtered.

. JOEL 2:28-32.

28. "And it shall
come to pass afterward,
that I will pour out My Spirit
upon all flesh;
and your sons
and your daughters
shall Prophesy,
your old men
shall dream Dreams,
your young men
shall see Visions:
29. "And also upon the servants
and upon the handmaids
in those days
will I pour out My Spirit.
30. "And I will shew wonders
in the Heavens and in the Earth,
blood, and fire,
and pillars of smoke.
31. "The Sun shall be
turned into Darkness,
and the Moon into Blood,
before The Great
and The Terrible Day
of The LORD come.
32. "And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call on
The Name of The LORD
shall be delivered:
for in mount Zion
and in Jerusalem
shall be Deliverance,
as The LORD hath Said,
and in the Remnant
whom The LORD shall call."


*The author claims that if we should honestly pay attention to the book we will have PEACE (any sane human often say he has peace but our problem is cohabitation)


THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES PAID ATTENTION TO THE SCRIPTURES MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE- YET THEY DID NOT HAVE PEACE.

They killed their own Prophets to get Peace from SATAN- but still didn't get It.

. MATTHEW 10:34-38.

34. "Think not
that I am come
to send Peace on Earth:
I came not to send Peace,
but a Sword.
35. "For I am come to set a man
at variance against his father,
and the daughter against her mother,
and the daughter in law
against her mother in law.
36. "And a man's foes shall be
they of his own household.
37. "He that loveth father or mother
more than me
is not worthy of me:
and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me
is not worthy of me.
38. "And he that taketh not his cross,
and followeth after me,
is not worthy of me."

GOD CANNOT FULLY BLESS A LAND WHERE THE RIGHTEOUS COHABIT WITH THE UNRIGHTEOUS.

. DEUTERONOMY 22:9-11.

9. Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard
with divers seeds:
lest the fruit of thy seed
which thou hast sown,
and the fruit of thy vineyard,
be defiled.
10. Thou shalt not plow
with an ox and an ass together.
11. Thou shalt not wear a garment
of divers sorts
as of woollen and linen together.

MaxInDHouse:

After thousands of years that humans have been existing on this planet (as far as civilization is concerned) there has never been a time when people from different races across the globe form one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers vowing never to raise weapons against anyone again

MaxInDHouse:

except in our own generation! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

MaxInDHouse:

A group just emerge all of a sudden around 1919 and they began traveling throughout the earth preaching and teaching people in all our neighbourhood how to cohabit peacefully and never to raise weapons again.

MaxInDHouse:

Today there are millions from different races that have embraced this teachings and people are saying everywhere that there is LOVE among this people! John 13:34-35

oaroloye:

At the Senior Levels of Religion and Atheism are very able Bible Scholars, who know full well, that The King James Version New Testament translated ELEVEN DIFFERENT WORDS as "love."

[b]1. MATTHEW 43-44,46. Αγαπαω, agapao. "LOVE" in a social, moral sense.

2. MATTHEW 6:5. . MATTHEW 23:6. Αγαπη, agape. "LOVE" in the sense of affection, benevolence.

3. MATTHEW 24:12. Φιλεω, phileo. "LOVE" in the sense of "being a friend to-" "to be fond of a person or object."

4. MARK 12:38. Θελω, thelo. To determine (as an act), to delight in, desire, to be disposed toward.

5. 1st THESSALONIANS 4:9; HEBREWS 13:1. Φιλαδελφια, philadelphia. Fond of brethren; fraternal love.

6. 1st TIMOTHY 6:10. Φιλαργυρια; philaguria. "LOVE" in the sense of "the love of money."

7. TITUS 2:4. (Love Husband.) Φιλανδρος; philandros. "LOVE" in the sense of "fond of man;" "affectionate love as a wife."

8. TITUS 2:4. (Love Children.) Φιλοτεκνος; phileteknos. "LOVE" in the sense of "fond of children;" "maternal love."

9. TITUS 3:4. Φιλανθρωπια; philantropia. "LOVE" in the sense of "fondness of Mankind;" benevolence.

11. REVELATION 3:19. Φιλεω; phileo. "LOVE" in the sense of "to be a friend to;" "to have affection for;" "personal feeling;" sentiment, duty, propriety, "kiss love."[/b]

THE DEFINITION THAT LAYMEN THINK THE BIBLE MEANS IS EROS: ROMANTIC AND SEXY LOVE- THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE TWELVE TERMS NOT USED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

. LEVITICUS 19:14.

14. "Thou shalt not
curse the deaf,
nor put a stumblingblock
before the blind,
but shalt fear thy God:
I (am) The LORD."

. DEUTERONOMY 27:18.

18. "Cursed be he
that maketh the blind
to wander out of The Way."

And all the people shall say,

"AMEN."

. DEUTERONOMY 27:24.

24. "Cursed be he
that smiteth his Neighbour
secretly."

And all the people shall say,

"AMEN."

. DEUTERONOMY 27:26.

26. "Cursed be he
that confirmeth not
all The Words of this Law
to do them."

And all the people shall say,

"AMEN."

CHRISTIANS AND NON-CHRISTIANS ALIKE LITERALLY GO INSANE, TRYING TO BELIEVE THAT "LOVE," IN THE BIBLE, MEANS WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT IT MEANS COLLOQUIALLY.

MaxInDHouse:

Well if there is any intellectual living in this generation that failed to find out why or how can such seemingly impossible thing be then i doubt if such a person is truly an intellectual and i wonder what humans are using their brains for if we can travel to the moon but we failed to cohabit peacefully on the planet where we have everything we need! Genesis 1:26-28

MaxInDHouse:

May you have PEACE!
