Deu 16:11
And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.

Sorry, who is Mary of Mandala? The passage you may be referring to is this one:

(Joh 8:3 NKJV) And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
(Joh 8:4) They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
(Joh 8:5) Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
(Joh 8:6) This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
(Joh 8:7) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
(Joh 8:8) And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
(Joh 8:9) And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
(Joh 8:10) When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
(Joh 8:11) She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

I say "may be" because the woman isn't named, and Jesus wrote on the ground rather than drawing a line, so perhaps you were thinking of another passage.

(If it was the passage from John 8, I don't see that as teaching that God is a war God.)

Does God do Borders?

Gen 3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Rev 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Jhn 10:7
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Jhn 10:8
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
Jhn 10:9
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Jhn 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Would you like to know how God is a God of War?
Look, just because you don't see what is happening with your own eyes,
doesn't mean that those that are watching don't see.


Deu 9:3
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

I don't think a lot of people really know how God works, in mysterious ways.

That wasn't the main point of my post. I was asking who Mary of Mandala was, and where we are told that Jesus drew a line in the ground.

As for God being a God of war, five times in the Bible He is actually called "the God of Peace." For example:

(Rom 16:20) And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Incidentally, I am not sure what Sir Kier Starmer announcing his resignation has to do with this subject. Sorry.

Well, I started this thread, because I had another thread that somehow got deleted.
So as the creator of this thread I can put what I want in it.
And if you don't like what is in it, there are many other threads you can visit.
This forum has many topics if it were not so, I would have told you.

Do you suppose it could have been a typo? I don't know,
However, There is a Mary of Magdala, let's find out who she is:

Mary Magdalene, sometimes called Mary of Magdala, was a Jewish woman from the fishing town of Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee . According to the four canonical Gospels, she was healed by Jesus from seven demons, which transformed her life and inspired her unwavering loyalty . She supported Jesus’ ministry, likely including financial contributions, and traveled with him during his ministry.

She was possesed by 7 demons. Do you think it possible that this same woman who was caught in the act of adultery is the same woman Jesus healed from demon possession? I mean, do the pieces fit?

What do you suppose may have happened if any of those men actually threw a stone?
Was it a line drawn in the sand? Something they knew they shouldn't cross over?
It's possible.

Rom 16:17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Rom 16:18
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Rom 16:19
For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Rom 16:20
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

And Amen.

Jhn 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Sorry Ziggy, I assure you that I didn't mean (or say) that I disliked your thread. My first post on this thread was asking Gray-Joy about the contents of their post. Yes, I should have thought that "Mandala" could have been a typo for "Magdala." I suppose Mary of Magdala could have been the woman caught in adultery, but the Bible doesn't name that woman. As for what Jesus drew or wrote in the sand, we are told that He wrote, but not what He wrote. Anyway, my main reason for writing now is to assure you that I meant no offence to you or to your thread. I apologise once again if I gave that impression.

Thank You
Every one is on the defence.
Always attacks coming from so many directions.
We don't know what Jesus wrote with his finger, which is the same as God's finger, which reminds me of what God wrote on the wall.
Dan 5:24
Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Dan 5:25
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Dan 5:26
This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
Dan 5:27
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
Dan 5:28
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Now I don't know about the Medes and the Persians,
but I do know there was a falling of Jerusalem and the kingdom was given to both the converted Jews and the converted Gentiles.

Otherwise than that ,it seems to fit.

The days of Moses Law are done, and well, we know how he berated the Pharisees and Sadducees about how they kept the law and was found "wanting".
Mat 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.


I suppose we may have to wait and find out until all things are revealed.
Mar 4:22
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

Hugs and thankyou

Sorry, how does your picture answer my post, where I asked who Mary of Mandala was and where we read of Jesus drawing a line in the ground?
Oh?...........It doesn't!
Think of it more as a "shoe fitting" response to "effeminate (ahem) christians" everywhere."
Just like this one doesn't either:
Think Again.GIF

But? To go on in trying to suggest a "theory" concerning Ziggy's post?
You are correct inasmuch as the "Biblical texts" doesn't actually "call her out by NAME", but? The "flow of the reading of" does more or less insinuate Mary Magdelene AS?: "THAT GIRL!" (NO!.....NOT Marlow Thomas! :Broadly:)

But? Anyway......There is a reasonable theory that "she" was part of a "politically religious smear plot" AGAINST THE GUY! And that "SHE" was just a "loose end" that needed to be silenced!

Much like this account here:
Acts 1:
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
One's account tells of "this man" who seems obviously to be Judas Iscariot, went out and hung himself.
However, THIS account rather infers that "this man" fell headlong and burst asunder in the midst.......like he was "SLICED UP" (and NOT by his OWN hand) in such a fashion that his bowels gushed out.
Different people, different scenarios?............SAME "Religious Political" MOTIVATION/S of "tying up loose ends!"

Now? Having said all this? You can take it with as many "grains of salt" as you feel comfortable with!

:musicn2: "But, as far As Me and Grandpa?" "We believe!" :musicn2:

In conclusion? Thinking the future of Christianity is in the hands of one's as yourself?
Has me thinking that someone selling screen doors to submarines has a brighter future!
IOW? You CAN'T FIGHT WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!
Oh! That's right!
You DON'T fight!
Do ya? :contemplate:

Exo 15:6
Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

Ezr 8:22
For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.

Nah 1:3
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Mat 10:1
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Mat 22:32
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

2Co 6:16
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

The reason I post Robert Gouveia is because he Reads and Explains the actual court cases and other documents that come before courts or other legal documents.
I post it here so you don't have to take the media's interpretation.
You can read it for yourself.

Yanno Ziggy what really "chaffs my hide like a flame about "yea high?" is not so much the "milk babies" that are still needing milk. I get that!
Is the ones' that think, act believe, (and worse?) "teach!" That "sucking milk?" Is all the further one needs to "grow!"
Hebrews 6:1
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection (COMEPLETENESS); not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Hebrews 7:11
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that ANOTHER priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

These are the one's that make me break out my box/es of Kleenix! Because all I can do is show them, and "POINT" them even in the "Canonized" Bible by telling. Can't "make 'em" CHOOSE it! Because that's "THEIR DECISION!"
That's when Jesus Christ of Nazareth kinda "tugs" on the sleeve of HE who Sent Jesus, and sez: "Hey!" "I think I got another one that's READY to come nearer to ya!" :clap
