I have another question for YOU to ignore

Is it possible that what was written was that the tree might die if she touched it?

Are the Jews right by default?

Is there really a phenomenon of there is thinking that some people just can't do?

Most people? It's not all people.

I know what they are resting from and YOU (anyone for who this applies) know what you are resting from. I can admit I know because I am not resting, but you can't admit you know because you ARE resting.

What do I think "no one who does what is good/right" mean?
ALL good gifts and perfect presents comes from [and for] The Father. James 1:17
So, whatever you do right is the Father doing it. Let YOUR (God's) will be done. Matthew 6:10

If it is possible that each denomination interprets the scriptures the way each one sees is fitting, how is it that the people who heard it, wrote it, copied it, translated it, and copied it again, never interpreted scriptures the way they saw was fitting?

It is obvious that people NOW interpret scriptures the way each sees them. But according to popular opinion, it was not what ever happened before now. It never happened, according to the ones "in the know" even though we know it does happen (presently).

If you can apply statistical analysis to that theory, I think that it will crumble and fall.

I believe that is the problem when people interpret by their own intelligence instead of relying on the Holy Spirit.

I believe they relied on the Holy Spirit.

No, it DOES NOT mean that 1 Thessalonians 5:3 isn't what happens. THINK for goodness' sake. Please stop being like this; Matthew 24:39 Won't you?

Whenever "they might say" peace and security then suddenly upon them comes destruction......and no not shall they escape.

What does, "they might say" mean? It means "lay an argument TO REST". To believe peace and security means to rest. OK? When someone is at rest they are easily caught.

What are they resting from?
I believe peace and safety lure a person into a false sense of security but the Bible teaches us to be vigilant.

I believe that is a question of whether something is done directly or indirectly.

I believe they relied on the Holy Spirit.
WHY? Is it because you think GOD SHOULD have made it right?
I try never to tell God what God should and shouldn't do. I think it is wonderful that some people DO. I do not agree with them, but it is so weird it is wonderful.

It is possible, according to you, that people interpret what they read and hear relying on their own understanding, but that never once happened with the writing of any scripture.

Are there two kinds of people, them and us?

I believe there is one kind of people. Not two.

Whenever people stop believing in two kinds of people, there could be something good happen.

We have to realize there is only one kind of people all in one boat. Pretty please?

According to the religious World there are TWO kinds of people.

They are; the people that are to be believed and the people who are not to be believed.

By the way, most of the people who are believed are DEAD. Proverbs 8:36

Oh really? Are you SURE I have misapplied Proverbs 8:36?

To tell you the truth, there are not many people who love to die. I might say there might be none.

But, it is true that many, many people are very fond of latching on to something they believe someone said and they run with it. Is it not what is wrong with the World?

The Bible was written by people who are now dead. They can not say, "that is not what I wrote and that it not what it means if indeed what I wrote was right". You love that. You love that you may call something that isn't true true because the person who wrote it can not defend what he really wrote.

It applied then and it applies now.

Matthew 25:32-33 (ESV Strong's) Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.

There are "TWO" types of people!

There are not two types presently. Whenever the sheep and the goats get separated there will be people in two places. There will still be only one kind of people. Their places at his right hand and his left hand will be different.

So you are no different than a murderer or a thief?
yes, not much different. Matthew 5:28 and anyone looking hatefully at another is committing murder in his heart. Or is Matthew 5:28 only about adultery?

I actually am a thief. There is an empty home up the street and on the grounds grows Chinese Lanterns. I took some.

They are pretty!
