This just...Dude, it's not that it's "misquoted"!!! This just speaks to your utter lack of understanding what you read which demonstrates my point EXACTLY.<BR/><BR/>Here is what I said, noted above...<BR/><BR/>"I can't believe how you totally and utterly destroy the Bible on your site by misinterpreting just about every passage quoted!!!<BR/><BR/>If you can read it, it says "...by MISINTERPRETING just about every passage QUOTED!!!"<BR/><BR/>Misinterpretation is different from misquoting, feel free to look up the definition on http://www.dictionary.com. Again, this just speaks to your lack of ability to properly comprehend what you read. It bleeds into your understanding of what God is doing today or not doing today and your understanding of His word. How are we to value your opinion when you can't read and understand plain English? What about reading your Bible and understanding that...it's much more complex...?<BR/><BR/>I may seem mean spirited...that's true, I am mean spirited and that is truly a fault with my character but then again I'm only human and a sinner saved by grace. Thank God almighty that Christ died for my sins and I'm saved by Grace!!! Can I get a witness...? Thank God I’m not under the Law continually trying to live up to an impossible standard!!!<BR/><BR/>I won't pray for you, I hope for you. I hope you can better come to evaluate the Bible and truly understand what it says or means. Not that any one of us have all the answers but there is a track so to speak, a direction and I think you are going in the wrong direction, you've went in the wrong direction. It happens, it's happened to me at times.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with that! Kingdom of God doesn't exist today dude!!! It's not in GR nor is it in Israel. There are more Jews in New York than in Israel...is New York the Kingdom?<BR/><BR/>Again, good luck on evaluating your interpretations, I hope you can step away from them and think critically, compare Bible verses with Bible verses, contrast them as well. I hope you can find the right track and begin to go in the right direction. How do you know I'm not sent by the almighty to shed light on your situation...? Mostly, I apologize once again for my rudeness. I’m having a bad day and I’m not trying to attack you personally.<BR/><BR/>Your friend - The Raphen, sprinkling seeds on dry dirt.<BR/><BR/>Quote the Raphen never more!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19029288.post-1134917369777944752005-12-18T09:49:00.000-05:002005-12-18T09:49:00.000-05:00The attitude conveyed by your comment speaks for i...The attitude conveyed by your comment speaks for itself.

It's supposed to be a "literal physical kingdom", something you can look at, put your hands on and see it ruled by Christ. It hasn't come yet dude we're still waiting for it, it will be ruled by a ruler...Christ at His 2nd coming.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can think about that, you're not living in the Kingdom...if you are the Kingdom is pretty small - 3 or 4 blocks. I could say much more on that but I fear I'd just be confusing you.<BR/><BR/>Go study "the Kingdom", what it was supposed to be and what it was supposed to look like. I hope you will see it's not some mystical gathering of people but a physical place that will be some day, that hasn't come yet and that will be ruled by Christ's physical presence on a physical throne. I think you are allegorizing much of what you read in the Bible and it is leading to many false ideas and false interpretations.<BR/><BR/>So detrimental that it made you move from your dream house on 4.5 acres with a 10 car parking lot and chicken coop to a stinky city with a small house you probably don't like if you're really honest with yourself.<BR/><BR/>If this is all just your opinion or if you believe you were lead in your own heart by the Lord I couldn’t really disagree with you. However, when you use the Bible to justify your actions, beliefs, values, etc, THEN I can question your motives and decisions. I can disagree how you use or MISUSE the Bible in your quotes to justify your actions.<BR/><BR/>P.S. what are your thoughts on capitalism? What are the bible's thoughts on capitalism...? Doesn’t the Bible say in Matthew that we should sell all and give to the poor? Doesn’t that say we shouldn’t have anything…that God will provide? He told the disciples to take no thought for tomorrow!!! Give me some guidance because I’m about to sell my 1.5 million dollar house on E-Bay and give the money to Russian Jews so they can fly back to the Holy Land!!! I’m going to “put them on Eagles wings” Airlines back to the “REAL KINGDOM” – In Israel.<BR/><BR/>Your friend - The Raphen, sprinkling seeds on dry dirt.<BR/><BR/>Quote the Raphen never more!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19029288.post-1134378826786169942005-12-12T04:13:00.000-05:002005-12-12T04:13:00.000-05:00Good word!!!Good word!!!Windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15120957230264435187noreply@blogger.com
