Religion / Re: Born Again Christian Women Wearing Make-up, Is It Biblical? by mavenbox: 4:25pm On Dec 11, 2009
Let me ask a question: Why do you think Jesus' garments were fought over and divided? It was EXPENSIVE. That was why. He lived in style, howbeit in moderation, which is important to God.

If Christians look haggard and unkempt, what will be the evidence of salvation to the heathen? What will be the evidence that God knows how to provide for, and take care of his own, if we look like destitutes?

This issue does not need to be flogged like a dead horse. The answer is rather evident.

It reminds me of the old gist I have often heard about "worldly music" (secular music). I do not endorse it, but the questions I ask about it are: What about the National Anthem? What about Football team songs? What about Instrumentals? And, going aside from music, what about Movies? Do you watch action movies by Arnold Schwarzenegger? What about the funny Jackie Chan? Bollywood? Nollywood? Those movies are secular, you know? And those clean novels (no explicit content)? What about textbooks that you use in school? They're all secular.

And I do not drink, but as I have said a number of times, wine is not evil, after all Jesus took it 'cos that was the CocaCola of his days. It's the actions you take after the wine AND you possibly get drunk that EASILY lead to sin. So if wine will make you sin, why should you take it? God is more concerned with you taking ANYTHING that will draw you away from him or that you will get dependent on, i.e. your heart is what he is concerned about, and not the object matter itself. e.g. if you love ice-cream so much that it's always on your mind, it will eventually lead you to sin. Does that mean ice-cream is evil?

So where do we stand? We're in the world, but not of the world. The experiences we are allowed to intermingle with the world are defined by their "peace quotient" PQ, "holiness quotient" HQ and "righteousness quotient" RQ.  grin grin

Spirit-controlled moderation is the key to everything, and if you're truly Born-again you will know the God-allowed limits to every human experience.

Religion / Re: Contradiction In Proverbs? Answering Fools by mavenbox: 3:59pm On Dec 11, 2009
The whole Proverbs 26 in THE MESSAGE version, a treatise on fools. LOL.


Pro 26:1  We no more give honors to fools than pray for snow in summer or rain during harvest.

Pro 26:2  You have as little to fear from an undeserved curse as from the dart of a wren or the swoop of a swallow.

Pro 26:3  A whip for the racehorse, a tiller for the sailboat-- and a stick for the back of fools!

Pro 26:4  Don't respond to the stupidity of a fool; you'll only look foolish yourself.

Pro 26:5  Answer a fool in simple terms so he doesn't get a swelled head.

Pro 26:6  You're only asking for trouble when you send a message by a fool.

Pro 26:7  A proverb quoted by fools is limp as a wet noodle.

Pro 26:8  Putting a fool in a place of honor is like setting a mud brick on a marble column.

Pro 26:9  To ask a slowpoke to quote a proverb is like putting a scalpel in the hands of a drunk.

Pro 26:10  Hire a fool or a drunk and you shoot yourself in the foot.

Pro 26:11  As a dog eats its own vomit, so fools recycle silliness.

Pro 26:12  See that man who thinks he's so smart? You can expect far more from a fool than from him.

Pro 26:13  Loafers say, "It's dangerous out there! Tigers are prowling the streets!" and then pull the covers back over their heads.

Pro 26:14  Just as a door turns on its hinges, so a lazybones turns back over in bed.

Pro 26:15  A shiftless sluggard puts his fork in the pie, but is too lazy to lift it to his mouth.

Pro 26:16  Dreamers fantasize their self-importance; they think they are smarter than a whole college faculty.

Pro 26:17  You grab a mad dog by the ears when you butt into a quarrel that's none of your business.

Pro 26:18  People who shrug off deliberate deceptions, saying, "I didn't mean it, I was only joking,"

Pro 26:19  Are worse than careless campers who walk away from smoldering campfires.

Pro 26:20  When you run out of wood, the fire goes out; when the gossip ends, the quarrel dies down.

Pro 26:21  A quarrelsome person in a dispute is like kerosene thrown on a fire.

Pro 26:22  Listening to gossip is like eating cheap candy; do you want junk like that in your belly?

Pro 26:23  Smooth talk from an evil heart is like glaze on cracked pottery.

Pro 26:24  Your enemy shakes hands and greets you like an old friend, all the while conniving against you.

Pro 26:25  When he speaks warmly to you, don't believe him for a minute; he's just waiting for the chance to rip you off.

Pro 26:26  No matter how cunningly he conceals his malice, eventually his evil will be exposed in public.

Pro 26:27  Malice backfires; spite boomerangs.

Pro 26:28  Liars hate their victims; flatterers sabotage trust.

@SeanT21: U r welcome, sis!

I love these two versions of the Bible: AMPLIFIED breaks down the original Hebrew text and the Message tells the proverbs in today's language

AMPLIFIED
Pro 26:3  A whip for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, and a [straight, slender] rod for the backs of [self-confident] fools.
MESSAGE
Pro 26:3  A whip for the racehorse, a tiller for the sailboat-- and a stick for the back of fools!

As seen from the Amplified, you need to answer the fool to his self-confident folly
As seen from the Message, the stick that you whip the fool with will ensure that he sticks to the plan (the race), and that he does not steer off-course (tiller, a lever used to turn a boat's rudder, it's steering mechanism)

So, if the horse feels it is the strongest on the racetrack, don't argue with it, it's for your benefit. After all, you, the racedriver, are not like it. If you argue that it is not as strong, then maybe you want to be like it (compare with it).

But when it starts feeling that it can run and it can stop whenever it wants on the racetrack because it is an 'almighty', then it needs a whip.

Compare with answering fools according to their folly.  cheesy cheesy LOL

Religion / Re: Yes! God Is A Killer! by mavenbox: 1:49pm On Dec 11, 2009
undecided
God is not a killer, like a cheap executioner with his electric chair, lethal injection, hangman's noose or the firing squad.

God is THE Judge of all. He declares judgment in fairness, and executioners in the physcial and metaphysical realms carry out the execution when necessary.

This life is WYAIWYG: Who you are is what you get. If you are SIN, you get DEATH. If you are RIGHTEOUSNESS, you get LIFE.

So the question, then, is WHO ARE YOU, really? undecided
