Things Not In The Bible

There Was No "Apple" in Genesis: Everyone knows the iconic story of the serpent tempting Eve with an apple from the forbidden tree of knowledge. However, the Bible isn't specific when it comes to the actual fruit. Genesis 3:6 states: "When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, And that the tree was desirable to make one wise, She took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate." Some suggest that the fruit was most likely a pomegranate. The Three Wise Men: While it's true that three gifts were given (gold, frankincense, and myrrh), It doesn't specifically say that they were brought by three kings; there could have been any number of magi. And what's more, they didn't visit the baby Jesus on the night of his birth. They came days, months or even years later. Matthew 2:11 states: "After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. “Emphasis on house...not stable. The Whale Swallowed Jonah: This is another example of the Bible being a bit vague. Although many are taught that a whale swallowed Jonah, it was actually "a great fish." No mention of a whale, specifically. "Money is the root of all evil." Not to get technical, but in 1 Timothy 6:10, the line is: "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, And some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." The 7 Deadly Sins: If you tried to find a list of the seven traditional deadly sins (Greed, wrath, sloth, pride, lust, gluttony and envy) in the Bible, These seven are part of church tradition but cannot be found in any discernible list. Instead there are references to sins, such as Proverbs 6:16-19 which states: "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, A false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. "Those don't sound quite as familiar. Jesus Condemning Homosexuality: That's not to say that you can't find references to it in the Bible. According to Leviticus 20:13: "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, Both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their blood guiltiness is upon them." However, Jesus himself had virtually nothing to say on the subject. He focused more on giving to the poor, loving your enemies, and forgiveness. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” This quote can actually be attributed to John Wesley, an 18th century evangelist who founded Methodism. It first appeared in a printed sermon entitled "On Dress" in 1769.The line is: "Slovenliness is no part of religion... Cleanliness is indeed next to godliness." The Devil: So there is mention of Satan in the Bible, but it's certainly not the pointy beard, Red-horned pitchfork waving Satan we all think of today. According to the Bible, Satan was a fallen angel who rebelled against God and took A third of the angels with him into rebellion. “The Lord works in mysterious ways.” Surprisingly, this phrase cannot be found anywhere in the Bible and its exact origins are unknown. Some say it's from a hymn written by William Cowper in the 19th century: "God moves in a mysterious way; His wonders to perform; He plans His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm."

Oligarchy

Shilvery And equality"
The reality of the human race to follow the independent struggles of the less fortunate only to subdue to the rich and the will of others to control , we say we are civilized and yet we see the atrocities of others only to do nothing we as the human race should be appalled by the allowance of any action that puts the wants and the needs of the few ahead of the many in the logic of masses a quote from.  "Lenard Naomi"     ( Spock) From Startrek  "The needs of the many should way out the needs of the few or the one"  logic dictates the mass out way's the whole ,, then again who decides ? I say the mass. Oligarchy  meaning "to rule or to command" Throughout history, oligarchies have often been tyrannical (relying on public obedience and/or oppression to exist). Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as a synonym for rule by the rich, for which another term commonly used today is plutocracy. During the fourth century BCE, after the restoration of democracy from oligarchical coups, the Athenians used the drawing of lots for selecting government officers in order to counteract what the Athenians saw as a tendency toward oligarchy in government if a professional governing class were allowed to use their skills for their own benefit. They drew lots from large groups of adult volunteers as a selection technique for civil servants performing judicial, executive, and administrative functions (archai, boulē, and hēliastai). They even used lots for posts, such as judges and jurors in the political courts (nomothetai), which had the power to overrule the Assembly. Today we use the freedoms of our voting to make a stand."extremely wealthy families are hell-bent on destroying the democratic vision of a strong middle-class which has made the United States the envy of the world. In its place they are determined to create an Oligarchy in which a small number of families control the economic and political life of our country. Our current President Knows this I have watched him for eight years and listened too what he has said. Others use hate and prejudice of whatever means to make whatever  they want to make believe, because of the ignorance of what is right and wrong, Truth be told the human right to be ,must be preserved, as our will to survive and live as our own to our own will, and belief that  we be truly free, I believe
all should believe that the Church teaches and every one should observe all its directions what ever your religious title
Too defend the Church of the faith of others and one self
Too respect all weaknesses, and constitute oneself the defender of them
Everyone should love the country in which there born .
Too never recoil before your enemy.
Show no mercy to them . Do not hesitate to make war.
Perform all your feudal duties as long as they do not conflict with the laws of God. Never lie, and always remain faithful to your pledged word
Be generous, and give largesse to everyone.
Always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.

          "Nothing is more important than our word, it truly is our only value"

My Daughter Stephanie,

Who shines for all the world too see,
I am proud that you are part of me.

I am standing tall,
Stronger then any wall.

For you alone, Your my stone,
You give me the will to go it alone,

You  grace the world with your charm,
That no one would ever harm.

I know you can read my heart,
I am sure you can see.

With every day that passes,
You mean more to me.
