MY RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ABOUT TO MEET AS ONE ,
FOR I AM BRINGING TOGETHER MY KINGDOM ,
NOT A CHILD OUT OF PLACE , NOT A SOUL THAT I KNOW ,
AS PART OF THE KINGDOM SHALL BE LEFT OUT OF MY FOLD ,
I AM CALLING MY LEADERS THAT HAVE OVERCOME ,
TO BRING TOGETHER MY KINGDOM ,
THE JOSHUAS , THE REUBENS , MANNASEHS AND DANS ,
THE FOUR LIVING CREATURES SURROUNDING " I AM " ,
THE SEVEN SPIRITS " THE EYES ON THE STONE " ,
I AM CALLING ALL MY KINGDOM HOME ,
FOR WHAT WOULD BE MY INTEGRITY ,
IF EVEN ONE OF MY CHILDREN WAS APART FROM ME ,
SO WATCH AND LISTEN TO MY HEART ,
FOR ALL OF THIS IS ABOUT TO START ,
FOR THE FATHER AND I ALWAYS AGREE ,
AND NOW I AM BRINGING TOGETHER OUR TAPESTRY . . . \O/
Genesis 45:7 (Amplified Bible) 7God sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity and to continue a remnant on the earth, to save your lives by a great escape and save for you many survivors
Zechariah 3:9
9For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one "stone" are seven eyes or facets [the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day.
Joshua 24 1THEN JOSHUA gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and summoned the elders of Israel and their heads, their judges, and their officers; they presented themselves before God.
Joshua 24:25-27
So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made statutes and ordinances for them at Shechem.
26And Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God; and he took a great stone and set it up there under an oak that was in [the court of] the sanctuary of the Lord.
27And Joshua said to all the people, See, this stone shall be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the Lord spoke to us; so it shall be a witness against you, lest [afterward] you lie (pretend) and deny your God.
Joshua 14:8 (Amplified Bible) 8But my brethren who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt; yet I wholly followed the Lord my God.
THE ANSWER
Hosea 14 1O ISRAEL, return to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled and fallen, [visited by calamity] due to your iniquity. 2Take with you words and return to the Lord. Say to Him, Take away all our iniquity; accept what is good and receive us graciously; so will we render [our thanks] as bullocks [to be sacrificed] and pay the confession of our lips.(A)
3Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses, neither will we say any more to the work of our hands [idols], You are our gods. For in You [O Lord] the fatherless find love, pity, and mercy.
4I will heal their faithlessness; I will love them freely, for My anger is turned away from [Israel].
5I will be like the dew and the night mist to Israel; he shall grow and blossom like the lily and cast forth his roots like [the sturdy evergreens of] Lebanon.
6His suckers and shoots shall spread, and his beauty shall be like the olive tree and his fragrance like [the cedars and aromatic shrubs of] Lebanon.
7They that dwell under his shade shall return; they shall revive like the grain and blossom like the vine; the scent of it shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
8Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered [him] and will regard and watch over him; I am like a green fir or cypress tree; with Me is the fruit found [which is to nourish you].
9Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the Lord are right and the [uncompromisingly] just shall walk in them, but transgressors shall stumble and fall in them.(B)
"There may be a place for this version in the education of children, but we conclude that it is not suitable for use by adults in the Church. The version carries over too much of the unsound paraphrasing of the Living Bible. The attempt to provide a blanket justification for this paraphrasing by calling it "dynamic equivalence" is a mere fig leaf, as Poythress aptly calls it. It was a mistake to have used such a problematic version as the basis of the NLT to begin with. The "reviewers" would have done much better, no doubt, if they had produced a fresh translation. In addition, there obviously has been a good deal of editorial meddling for non-scholarly reasons, in connection with the "inclusive language" and other things. Moreover, even if we were to grant that dynamic equivalence is the best method to use in translating the Bible (which we do not), we find that other versions have made a much more successful application of its principles at every point where we have compared them with the NLT.
Finally, we note that Craig L. Blomberg of Denver Seminary, who was a reviewer for the NLT's Gospel according to Matthew, has explicitly stated that this version is not suitable as a regular Bible for adults. Responding to criticism of the NLT, Blomberg explained that the version is for "kids or very poor adult readers," and he suggested that readers of the NLT should move on to a more accurate version when they are able"
Whaddya think? Kid or very poor adult reader?
I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than have to have a frontal lobotomy. Whaddya think? Before or after?
Back off, man.
This prophet IS a more accurate version.
***this overflowing cup of blasphemy from Jedediah should tide me over nicely.***
Where is ol J-d these days? His spewings have diminished.
Yes, I see. I wonder if he has to wear shades when he looks in the mirror.
Possibly a combination.
Sometimes the city rounds those guys up and they'll jail a few, send some to the Methadone clinic, stuff like that.
No internet access.
Yes.
But you can put up with it for 36 more hours
:-D
No internet access.
Pity. I thought that Der Democrats declared broadband a universal human right.
I wonder about the level of understanding, though.
Yes, but with typical shortsightedness the wireless computers were not included.
They confiscate the bums.. er, prophets belongings during intake at the jails.
Broadband flowing all around the drunk tank and no one to use it.
It's sad really.
Pride (and self aggrandizement) goeth before a fall.
"Braaaak. Merkivah! Braaaaaak!"
Yes, but with typical shortsightedness the wireless computers were not included.
I'm sure there are several hundred billion dollars left from the TARP funds that could go into giving every crazy man a computer to go along with the wireless broadband access.
They confiscate the bums.. er, prophets belongings during intake at the jails.
Wouldn't they just burn them along with the lice?
Broadband flowing all around the drunk tank and no one to use it.
I'm surprised with the prophetic perception and powers that ol' J-d can't tap into the galloping freeflying interwebs with the power of his mind, or soul, or pancreas, or gall bladder or whatever passes for his hippocampus.
I'm sorry, my friend, only the red X of death shows up.
If a lunatic profit falls in the forest, does anyone care?
You remind me of that time me and Glen Frey from the Eagles had lunch in Manhattan. He had the ox-tail soup and I had a grilled reuben. I was glued to every word.
Thanks for the reminder, because I’m forgetful, see.
That depends: is he a lunatic profit of gawd?

There. Fixed it.
