Loosening the loins of kings will make them shi...t in their pants because of fear, dysenteric shi...t, because of fear. The two leaved gates will be loosened from fear-induced dysentery, when Cyrus whose hands God Himself is holding comes upon them.

Phew Phew!!!

Now that everyone has gone to sleep, I should ramble a bit.

I am mizmycoli; life and love my religion.

My name is Adannaya; I am my Father's Daughter.

I've tried to fit in somewhere, belong, but I don't actually. I haven't tried satanism tho'.......won't. grin

I still got scales of religion in me, a huge chunk's falling off though.

Somehow, a bible that made so much sense 1 year ago now has a lot of contradictions.

At this phase, a lot of themes seem confusing, especially scriptures, the same ones I used to hold dear and defend, albeit blindly..........

Right now, I don't believe in the God of religion(s) anymore. I just know that there's a creator who's interested in those he created.

This I have seen evidenced in my life many times.
Okay, now I'm saying this at the risk of sounding foolish, even to self.

Lolest cheesy cheesy

For some strange reason, I'm smiling and grinning right now..........

Owh, I gerrit now.

I've just been reminded of what matters most.

While I may never be totally cured of religion in this age, I've dedicated my life, my being, to living a life filled with Love, filled with compassion, I could never go wrong towing that path.

Sounds lofty and too good to be true, ey?

Well, I'm already on the path......I intend to get there.
Wow. I really respect this lady! If not that i vowed never to meet anybody from nairaland in real life , i would have found a way to meet her...hmm: love & life is my religion! just so beautiful !

I don't even see how all these vague write-ups adds values to a Christian, is more like an academic exercise.

my mum can't read the bible but she understands God.

the bible is filled with all sort of metaphorical vocabulary and innuendos giving rise to different interpretations,
'the bible' really , is a book of tricks. Every denomination of Christianity have scriptural backups for their doctrines and practices.

hence milking the masses through:
sacrificial giving
tithe and offerings
harvest
seed sowing
super natural or spiritual breakthrough
signs and wonders
thanksgiving and many more hopelessness

other doctrines such as marrying more than one wife in some churches, not taking blood even when dying, not wearing Jewries etc.
all of them have scriptural backups, is why I have often said, the bible is not and will never be a standard for God.

Okay, stones here could be ornaments of great value, or the priests/levites.
Then the temple would be the people, "lay men" so to speak or nations

AirborneLacer has answered the first part of the riddle. The stones are the people. And you are right too, the stones are ornaments of great value, the apple of His eyes, His jewels, etched forever in the palms of His arms, the Dearly beloved of His Soul.

Ezekiel 8:6
He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.

Unreserved apologies. Your post sounded like the logic atheists use create to confusion. I had earlier written that there are a lot of different Bible interpretations in the market, all with the main aim of hiding the truth of God's word from His children.

The KJV is the standard. Do you see how NIV muddled up the interpretation of that Isaiah 45:1? That is just an example, you may cross-reference that verse and many others in the different Bibles.
