Seems too many make an idol of their personal interpretation of the Bible.
Claiming theirs is the only truth and that others are "of the devil" because their view differs.
What's wrong with this picture? Misplaced allegiance. Religious fiefdoms.
Building walls, instead of bridges.

- What is the purpose of the Bible?
- Should the Bible be used to cause division?
- Where is your allegiance ultimately?

On the quarter it says in God we trust.

The bible is a spiritual roadmap for all people to see where they are at in life, with the viewing of Gods chosen nation Israel (including material divorcement), and to grow spiritually in Christ, who fulfilled the old covenant.

If "In God We Trust", how do we know who God is?

What happens when the sheep find out their shepherds are only out for their own power and privileges and can't be trusted to feed them?

Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse.

For whenever anyone bears the pain of unjust suffering because of consciousness of God, that is a grace.

But what credit is there if you are patient when beaten for doing wrong? But if you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God.

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his footsteps.


Merry Christmas!

St. Paul said:
Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse.

...But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity. (1 Corinthians 7:21b)
