Sheshbazzar,

Forgive my ignorance but your reply makes no sense to me.

:rolling: I love this thread, every reply is only further proof of how capable the inspired word is in molding the opinions of men.
It is doing the job to perfection, even as He promised. :notworthy Hallelu- Hu, Hallelu-YAH ! :notworthy

Shesbazzar, do even you know what you are talking about?

Sheshbazzar

Absolutely, but do YOU know what you are talking about?

BSM

Ah contraire, it may also be further proof that the inspired word is not inspired because no one can make any sense of it.

That is, with the exception of Shesh who apparently has his own direct pipleline to God.

You (collectively) have opinions about a variety of Biblical subjects,
You post those opinions here, No "direct pipeline to God" is needed to determine that your opinions are shaped in reaction to the statements contained within the texts;
No texts, no Word, no believers, no atheists, no forum needed to protest the "errors" and "contradictions" of a non existent Word.
And if "no one can make any sense of it", is a true statement, then all of your long complex dissertations are also without value.
Thus the more you write, the more you prove the existence and effectiveness of the Word that is making you into what you are.

Chris Weimer

So that means that the Qur'an and the Suttas and the Bhagavad Gita were all divinely inspired because they shape people's lives? Pure and plain, your position is nonsense.

Sheshbazzar

Yes, the Power that brings into being, brings all things that exist, into being, EVERYTHING, even the gods of the nations are His creation, their Holy books and their followers, all alike are the work of One.
Have you not heard? have you not understood? That which was spoken from the beginning, There is none other; And all things which do exist, exist to serve Him and to bring to pass His will and pleasure:
Is there evil in the city? Have you not heard? He IS the author thereof.
Do the nations war? Have you not heard? Yah-Yahweh makes war.
Ho! Ho! Reality will be what Reality will be;
It will not be what YOU will it to be: Is there indeed power in your empty words? Speak then, and bring again to life the dead;
This He has vowed and this He will do,
Yahweh gives, and Yahweh takes away, blessed be the Name of Yahweh, now, and forever more; :notworthy Halellu-Hu :notworthy Halellu-YAH :notworthy

Bazzar:

Would you happen to be a Yahwehist Christian? Or, for that matter, what are your religious beliefs?

Just curious.

Close, but the word "Christian" is one that neither I nor my people accept, though we were first called by that term at Antioch,
We leave the name "Christian", to those who desire it, and those who practice that religion and hold those beliefs ascribed to "Christianity",
Our beliefs are very different from those of the sects that call themselves "Christian", and our paradigms are so different as to make communication difficult with many misunderstandings, this is why you are having difficulty in understanding my writings and my reasonings, because you are trying to fit them into that "Christian" frame of reference with which you are so familiar.

As stated in my 'public profile', I am "Mono Yahwistic", that is to say, that to the best of my knowledge, and to the best of my ability I walk in the faith of father Abraham, believing in One Creator and Sustainer of ALL things visible and invisible, known and unknown, whose Name is sometimes known as Yah, Yahweh, and Yah'hu. (and accepting of all variations of pronunciation that are held in clear conscience)

As for all of the other things of my beliefs, they are alien and incomprehensible to anyone not believing in the Name of YAH Yahweh from the heart, but whosoever does so believe, undergoes a paradigm shift and looks upon all things, and all human endeavor, and all of history from a new perspective.

We believe that Yah is present, and actively leads His own day by day, teaching each of us in His own way, time, and according to His own will, therefore we have no such thing as a "closed canon", because truth cannot be confined, and we live under a commandment to receive whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, and whatsoever things are pure.

I respect and rejoice in the language of the Hebrew Scriptures, yet that Word I witness is not confined to books, indeed the same promise of Deliverance is of equal application to all, to the blind and to the illiterate, as much as to the most learned, Yahweh preserves the innocent.
Holy books are assets to living a reverent and peaceful life, but books are not a requisite, for as has been told of old, "Abraham believed, and it was accounted to him as righteousness".
But then again there is no honor in willful ignorance, nor should men starve in the midst plenty, knowledge is good, as the book of Proverbs declares.

I have ten thousands of reasons, which are as absolute, and as enduring as the sun in the sky, and as the earth beneath my feet, to sustain my faith.
So, I will praise Yahweh while I live, with a full confidence that He will bring to pass all of His promises. What I say, I say to all, halellu-HU :notworthy
