And stuff
I wonder if people had to relieve themselves before the fall of man. Just one of many amazing things you get to wonder at my Bible study. People who know it all are totally missing out.
Jeremiah 9:23-24
“Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.
Judgment. Why is "the Lord who judges" so hard for people to take? Or preach?
Luke 16:31
If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.
It's hard to see hope for those who boldly proclaim the Bible to be crap. You know? Don't claim that, people, because if you really thought about it you might figure out that you don't actually know that for a fact.
Luke 17:10
"So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’”
This gives Christian entitlement doctrine a swift kick in the butt. Why, exactly, do we walk around imagining that God owes us something? That's messed up.

 | Eowyn If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Eowyn, Woman of Rohan, niece of King Theoden and sister of Eomer. In the movie, I am played by Miranda Otto. Who would you be? |
