Hebrews 12: 4-7, 11-15. 1-31-2007. |
God Our Father.
In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of
shedding blood. You have also forgotten the exhortation addressed to
you as sons:
"My son, do not disdain the discipline of the Lord or lose heart when
reproved by him;
for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines; he scourges every son he
acknowledges."
Endure your trials as "discipline"; God treats you as sons. For what
"son" is there whom his father does not discipline?
At the time, all discipline seems a cause not for joy but for pain,
yet later it brings the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who
are trained by it.
So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees. Make straight
paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be dislocated but
healed.
Penalties Of Disobedience.
Strive for peace with everyone, and for that holiness without which no
one will see the Lord. See to it that no one be deprived of the grace
of God, that no bitter root spring up and cause trouble, through which
many may become defiled, ...

Also read:
Mark 6: 1-6.
Psalm 103: 1-2, 13-14, 17-18.

Old news, padre. Do try to keep up. There's a good little
troll. You don't have much of an audience as it is.

Well, compared to the "penalties for obedience" listed
previously, how much worse can it get?

Hey, that's not so bad!
Also read:
Mark 6: 1-6.
Psalm 103: 1-2, 13-14, 17-18.
Couldn't be bothered.

So why can't your deity make everyone a christian, padre?
There would be a lot less blood and gore that way.
Oh wait! That's the reason why ..... !

During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of
Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or
less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy;
ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition,
bigotry, and persecution.
-- James Madison

Why is it whenever religious people are involved, we see the opposite?
