Before I get on with this article (my final one for awhile), I’d like to take a moment to apologize to you for something.
These articles are in electronic format and can be easily sent to other people (in fact, I encourage you to send it to your friends). Because of this, I had to hold back on what I offer in them. Here’s why…
Using Magick energy to “make things happen”, is very different from having the secrets to control it. The art of Witchcraft is one that should be approached carefully. You should never pick up a book on Witchcraft, read the spells – and then try to do them. You need to SEE somebody doing – not only the spells – but the important techniques of connecting with, and controlling, your own Magick energy.
The truth is, there is no way for me to actually show you these techniques in articles like the ones I have written. And I am worried that – if I lay out all of the steps for the spells, rituals, and other Witchcraft techniques in full, they may be abused (even “unknowingly abused”) by raw beginners getting in tune with Magick energy for the first time.
This could cause unthinkable problems, and it would be difficult to live with myself knowing that these articles caused anybody harm.
That’s why I held back. It is also why I have taken a lifetime of Witchcraft secrets that I personally used to change my life, into one big box. I mean, you could find a good wicca school, but it can be expensive to find a dedicated teacher.
I have other resources I have completed that contain everything you need to gain full control of the hidden energy inside of you.
Not only do you get full step-by-step guides – but you get to see demonstrations of every technique.
I know Witchcraft will will change your life in ways you could only dream.
My sincere hope for you, is that after going through these articles, you will understand what is possible with Magick. And if they help you in any way, click here to tell me all about it (I’d really love to hear from you).
The hidden energies that fuel real Magick are used every day (in many different forms) to literally transform people’s lives with breathtaking miracles.
Everybody was born with the power to control Magick energy, and it really is easy to use it for your benefit once you know the secrets. As a matter of fact, your focus and emotions send out Magick energy every day – and you may not even realize it.
The difference is knowing how to focus your emotion and belief toward something specific (like bringing romance, friends, wealth, and happiness into your life).
No matter where your path takes you in life (and in Magick), I give you my Brightest Blessing on your future. May your road be filled with wonder, love, excitement, and pure happiness.

I had never been particularly interested in religion especially after my schooldays when it was rammed down my throat – it just seemed so boring and unreal with so many rules and regulations that to me it was just something for “sad” people living their sad and pathetic lives.
I’d heard of stories where people had had “amazing experiences” and apart from thinking what liars they were I also felt that they should be locked away in mental institutions to protect the rest of us sane people from their delusions.
Well, I became one of these people just under three years ago after the most amazing experience that I would never have believed if someone else had told me it had happened to them. My family and friends can vouch for this because they have seen the change in my life over the last three years so it can’t be dismissed as just a “flash in the pan”
I went from living on my own and quickly drinking and smoking myself to death to a guy that was reunited with his wife and family and has never had the urge to touch a drink or a cigarette since.
I had been on an Alpha course (a 12 week informal course that discusses who Jesus is and what Christianity is all about) a couple of years before and although that had been fun I had done nothing further – it was only when I was so desperate and at the end of the road that I remembered the course I’d been on and just yelled out to God in sheer desperation rather than in any form of hope or expectation that HE would actually do anything for me – the result of this was however instant and I don’t know why I was so blessed.
Life is just so brilliant now and I feel that this peace, happiness and pure inner contentment that I have on a daily basis is so wonderful and couldn’t even be compared to having monetary riches beyond your wildest dreams that I just wanted to share this with the rest of mankind.
The book I wrote will show you what I did, what is on offer to you all and that there are no silly rules and regulations which were MAN MADE and nothing whatsoever to do with God.
Why not just have a look for yourself – you’ve nothing to lose and truly, what you may gain is priceless – you can then do the same for others – what a legacy that would be.
A recent testimonial, exerts of which are included below, show just why I want this book to reach and touch people who are looking for what I’ve found.
I LAVISHED your book. My life was in shambles; my wife had divorced me and tonight I was in such a state of despair that I had rung my Mother to tell her that suicide was my only option – after reading your book I have a peace about me that I have not had since I was 19 and I’m 56 now. Thank you thank you for allowing God to speak through you to me – I now feel a complete relief from all the pain and misery I have known for the past 37 years and I thank you for saving my life – actually GOD SAVED MY LIFE but you threw me the life preserver – may God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry.

Poker is a game of both skill and luck. Seasoned players know how to count outs and odds to maximize their opportunities and luck. But newcomers to the game often just rely on luck, and get swept up in the fun and action of the game. And sure enough, many new players often hit “beginners luck” when they start playing.
Beginners luck is a phenomenon recognized in all games of chance. It is both a curse and blessing. For the amateur poker player who does not understand the long odds against making an inside straight or full house, the fun is in trying. These are players who keep betting right up until the last card, and then put a bad beat on a good player holding a made hand like trips, only to see it trounced by the amateur’s gut shot draw.
For beginners willing to gamble a certain amount, the game is fun and, when they do win against improbable odds, they’re apt to be back another time – only to lose. And though the myth is that these players are easy pickings for savvy players, that is not always the case. Bad play by amateur poker players creates chaos for strategic players.
For the most part amateurs do act like ATMs for seasoned players, but any smart player should beware of the nave newcomer who pursues an improbable hand. When beginners luck goes their way, bad beats are bound to materialize at the table.

Some people just don’t enjoy the city life. City life means lots of action going on, lights, people, shops, and movement all over. It is fast and there can be a lot of excitement when it comes to city life. Some people love the city life.
Some people like country life. They like the peace and quiet that comes along with country living. There can be miles and miles of empty and quiet acres, except for the sound of the animals and birds. The time can slow down in the country, the fast paced action slows down to a calm time.
Is it possible to do both? It is smart to do both. The city life can happen during the week, and then the weekend can belong to country life. Monday through Friday you could spend your time working hard in the city, shopping, working out after taking your diet capsules of Acceletrim, and doing what city folks do. Then, late Friday night you could travel out to the country and kick back and relax for two days. The calm and relaxing atmosphere of country life will let you unwind from the fast and busy week. Living this way can help you have balance and enjoy life to the fullest.

Is Hell a real place, or is it just a symbolic representation of a place where bad people should go? Does it really exist, or is the Bible trying to give us some insight into the torment that non-believers have in their final days of existence on earth? Or is it just fantasy put in the Bible to persuade people to believe in God? I once heard a preacher say, “You can believe whatever you want to about whether hell is real or not, but it does not change the fact that it is a real place of torment for non-believers.” Let’s take a look at what the Bible has to say about hell.
By examining the scriptures, we can learn a great deal about the place we call hell. We see that there is going to be everlasting destruction. “…in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,…” (II Thessalonians 1:8,9) We see in this passage a glimpse of hell. It is for those “who do not know God, and those who do not obey the gospel.” In other word for those people who fit two categories: (1) those who do not know or believe in God, who voluntarily choose not to, and (2) those who profess to believe but by their actions and the way they live their lives, do not follow or obey the gospel.
There are millions of people who have heard the gospel message, some I am sure dozens of times, and reject God and His Son. They do not give their lives to Christ, choosing rather to go their own way or perhaps the way of the world. According to this passage, these people will spend eternity in hell.
I am convinced there is also a large number of people who claim to be Christian and simply go through the motions, never really obeying the gospel or following the teachings of the New Testament. Their lives and hearts were not changed. These too shall spend eternity away from God.
So what is hell? The above passage again gives us a glimpse into this. “These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord…” The fate of those we are speaking of is to be banned eternally from being near God, or to be out of His presence. What is being “destroyed” in the passage is the ability or opportunity to be in the presence of or near God. Death, by spiritual definition, is separation. The first death is when our spirit is separated from our bodies. The second death will be when a person’s spirit is eternally separated from God.
I think we can see from the above passage that hell is a real place. We can also see that it is for certain that it will exist. In the book of Mark we see another glimpse of hell as a terrible place. “And if your hand makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched — where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’” (Mark 9:43,44) The last part of this passage, “their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched,”is quoted from Isaiah 66:24. It simply tells us that though the physical body is dead, the spirit is still in existence. The spirit of those going to hell will be an existence as of a worm, or as Isaiah put it, “They shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.” (Isaiah 66:24) If we “in the flesh” could actually see exactly what hell is like we would truly be horrified. It is a terrible place of eternal existence for those who do not know God and those who will not obey the whole gospel.
Not only is hell a terrible place, but it is also a place of eternal existence. “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels,…’” (Matthew 25:41) “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.” (Matthew 25:46) The judgement, once pronounced, will be final, irreversible, and unending. For those of us that are obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ the thought of eternal life with God and Jesus is joyous. However, just the thought of eternal existence in hell makes me shutter. I cannot imagine — and I don’t want to — what it would be like to spend eternity in a place where I could not praise and worship my Heavenly Father. That alone, for me, would be terrible.
It is difficult for us to conceptualize what eternity will be like. Everything which we experience here on earth is limited by time. We tend to think of a lifetime as a very long period. In reality, in the frame-work of eternity, a lifetime is but a twinkle of an eye. It is but a fraction of a second in comparison. I like the way the song Amazing Grace phrases it, “When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we first begun.” How glorious that will be for us, and how terrible it will be for those in hell.
Specifically, who will be in hell? The Bible tells us exactly who will be in this place of eternal torment. “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead which were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15) This is a long passage, but it shows clearly that everyone will go through the judgement. Those whose name is found written in the Book of Life will be entering into eternal life with God. Those whose name is not found in the Book of Life will be cast into the lake of fire, or hell. In other words, to put it in simple terms, all who are not saved by the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ shall spend eternity in hell.
The Scriptures also show us that hell will be a place where those who are there will be in a state of consciousness. They will be aware of their torment. Jesus in the Parable of the Lost Son illustrates this fact, “And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame,…’” (Luke 16:23,24) They will be aware of their existence, condition, and the reason for their torment. I think that this will be especially severe for those who knew Christ, and have fallen away.
I suppose when the average person hears of hell being referred to as the lake of fire, they also picture it as a bright place. After all fire puts off quite a bit of light. But the scriptures also describe hell as a place of darkness. “But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:12) The outer darkness may be a way to contrast the beautiful picture painted for us in Revelation of what heaven will be like. The outer darkness may be an indication that it will be the opposite of the beauty of heaven. It is no doubt a very ugly place. The “outer darkness” could also be literally that; complete and utter darkness. We know that the parable of the lost son indicates that those in hell can see to the other side, but that does not mean that they can see and understand what is going on right next to them. The torment spoken of in the Bible would surely be multiplied if it happened in complete darkness.
Those in hell will be fully aware of what they have missed. It is hard for us to conceptualize the beauty of heaven and the ugliness of hell. But for those who get sent to hell, they will know of both. It will also be a place where those who are there are separated from their Christian loved ones. “There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.” (Luke 13:28) What a horrible experience for someone to be able to see their loved ones; mother, father, brothers, sisters, and friends enjoying themselves in heaven and know that they themselves are cast into hell for eternity.
We know that in heaven there will be no pain, no sadness, and no crying. In order for this to be true, we will not be aware of all the sad memories we have today. But that will not be true in hell. There will be memories. The ones which are sad for those hell-bound today will be even more pronounced. And the joyous memories of today will turn to sadness as they realize what could have been.
Have you ever made a poor choice in life and have it “come back to haunt you?” Anyone of any age at all that has not experienced this is truly a unique person. We all make poor choices, and they will usually come back to haunt us in the future. As those in hell are remembering their life on earth, they probably will be also remembering all the opportunities that they had to give their lives to Christ, and didn’t. They will probably remember each excuse that they used. They will remember those things that they did not want to give up to become a Christian, and how little those things eventually meant to them. The memories of all those things will be horrible memories indeed.
And finally we see that hell will be a place of no release. “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:46) A few years ago I was lamenting to a friend of mine about some aspect of my life that I was having trouble dealing with. We all go through that, dealing with unpleasant matters. My friend said, “Remember, this too shall pass.” Whereas this is true with everything on earth, the opposite is true in hell. Hell is for eternity, and for those banished there, it will not pass away.
Is hell a real place? Yes, it certainly is. It is a terrible place, and it is a place of eternal punishment. It is for all the unsaved who reject the gospel and turn away from God. It is a place of consciousness, torment, darkness, separation from Christian loved ones, separation from God, a place without any hope of release, and a place of horrible memories.
The unsaved need to know about hell. I hope that this article will help you to be a witness to the lost in your community as well as your friends and loved ones who are without Christ. My prayer is that you will use this information to share with them.

Are you in the process of obtaining a new job? If you are, you may have job interview already lined up. In fact, you may have already had a number of medical school interview take place. If that is the instance, did you follow through with the interview panel or the employer in question? If follow-up contact, such as a telephone call, is an action which you have yet to take, you may want to examine your alternatives.
When it comes to finding whether or not you should follow-up on all job interviews that you have had, like with a quick office visit or phone call, there are many job seekers who are uncertain as to how they should proceed. Since many are uncertain of the action that they should take, many just do nothing. If you would like help in noticing what you should do after attending a job interview, you will want to stay reading on, as a number of rewards and disadvantages to job interview follow ups are outlined below.
As for the advantage to follow ups with the business or interview panel in question, you will find that there are a number of them. One of those advantages is the impression that you can create of yourself. Checking to see how the selection process is coming along or if you can answer any additional questions is a great way to show that you are truly interested in the open job position. It also shows enterprise on your part. This is something that many companies look for in their new hires.
.
Although there are a number of advantages to following up after a job interview, you will also find that there are a number of disfavors to doing so as well. An interview follow-up may help to create a good impression of yourself. What you need to know is that this impression can work both ways. Some employers view follow-up telephone calls as unnecessary distractions. If you were told to wait until you heard from the company, you will want refrain from making any followup contact, as your actions can have negative results.
The above mentioned rewards and disfavours are just a few of the many to job interview follow-ups. You will want to try and make sure that you follow the advice or instructions given to you by each employer.

The UK financial system began to grind to a halt many weeks ago and it does not look set to restart before long. The credit crunch, alongside the historical low value of the pound sterling versus the euro, and the annual snowboarding vacation starts to appear like a lot more of a expense than customary.
This season skiers have returned home from the holidays in Chamonix Mt Blanc with tales about the first-class snowboarding conditions and the extortionate expenses in ski resorts with expenses higher than 30 percent on last year. The more cheering tidings is that there’s umpteen reduced skiing breaks for sale, that in many instances are compensating for the gain in prices in the skiing resorts. never the less it is time to be money sensible. As luck would have it we’ve compiled a top five list to saving on this year’s ski trip.
1. Take sandwiches with you and stay out of the mountain restaurants
2. Pay in pounds – book with operators who have kept their prices in pounds and not shifted to Euros
3. Smaller ski resorts will have both cheaper accommodation and lift passes
4. Pre Book Ski Gear online for good savings
5. Discounted chalet holidays with breakfast dinner and wine included on all but one day

Even tho God is a Loving God, He still has a measure of Respect that He demands of His people(Children). Lets read, Pro 1:23-31; “Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity ( “destruction” the King James Version); the devastation of war (Jer.46:21 adversities of any kind (Pro.27:10).); I will mock when your fear cometh;
The significance of the covenant idea in the Old Testament can scarcely be overestimated.
The prophets constantly make reference to it by insisting that the fate of Israel will always be determined by the extent to which its people are faithful or unfaithful to the obligations placed upon them by the covenant. When israel entered into a covenant relationship with God, they agreed to all stipulations that were laid down by God. When Israel broke this covenant they became a “Disobedient, Back-sliding and Gain-saying” People.
Rom 10:20-21; But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. ( This was the Gentile race of people)
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gain-saying people. (The word,”gain-saying” means; to contest, argue, dispute, and challenge.)
Jer 3:8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby back-sliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also. ( The people of Israel, as in the Days of Moses, were getting tired of following after The covenant relationship that they agreed to. They started to follow after strange gods and doctrines.)
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.= (
This last statement is Bible Prophecy that has come to pass, not only in the days of Roman occupation but also in recent history.)
Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer they shall seek: (Psa.78:34-36; Hos.5:15, Hos.6:1-4;) they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:(Gen.6:3; Job.27:9, Job.35:12; Psa.18:41; Isa.1:15; Jer.11:11, Jer.14:12; Eze.8:18; Mic.3:4; Zec.7:13; Mat.7:22, Mat.7:23, Mat.25:10-12; Luke 13:25-28; James 4:3) For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord (They hated knowledge – This argues the deepest degree of intellectual and moral depravity).
They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. ( Pro.1:30, Pro.5:12, Pro.12:1; Psa.81:11) Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. This statement is also prophecy. It not only represents the state of Israel but also includes the Gentile race. We are allowed by God to make our own decisions but we are held accountable for them.
This is also prophecy in Jer 18:17 I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity. I will provoke you – These words are taken from Deu.32:21. In that place the declaration refers to the idolatrous and wicked conduct of the Jews. God says that they had provoked him, or excited his indignation, by worshiping what was not God, that is, by idols; and he, in turn, would excite their envy and indignation by showing favors to those who were not regarded as a people; that is, to the Gentiles.
They had shown favor, or affection, for what was not God, and by so doing had provoked him to anger; and he also would show favor to those whom they regarded as no people, and would thus excite their anger. Thus, he would illustrate the great principle of his government in 2Sa.22:26-27, “With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with the pure, thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the fro-ward thou wilt show thyself unsavory,” that is, fro-ward.
Barnes states:
Psa.18:26. In this passage the great doctrine which Paul was defending is abundantly established – that the Gentiles were to be brought into the favor of God; and the cause also is suggested to be the obstinacy and rebellion of the Jews. It is not clear that Moses had particularly in view the times of the gospel; but he affirms a great principle which is applicable to those times – that if the Jews should be rebellious, and prove themselves unworthy of his favor, that favor would be withdrawn, and conferred on other nations. The effect of this would be, of course, to excite their indignation. Rom 10:19-21;
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gain-saying people. The prophet Isaiah proceeds to specify in what this rebellion consisted, and to show that this was their character; Isa.65:2-7. The argument of the apostle is this; namely, the ancient character of the people was that of wickedness; God is represented as stretching out his hands in vain; they rejected him, and he was sought and found by others. It was implied, therefore, that the rebellious Jews would be rejected; and, of course, the apostle was advancing and defending no doctrine which was not found in the writings of the Jews themselves.
Earnestness, especially in beseeching, is denoted by the passages, (Job.11:13; Psa.68:31; Psa.88:9).
Jer 18:17
I will shew them the back – The hiding of God’s face is the sure sign of His displeasure Isa.1:15; Isa.59:2. “they gaze, they look” with joy “upon Me.” Psa.22:17. The rejoicing over them was doubtless, as among savages, accompanied with grimaces (as in Psa.35:19; Psa.38:16). Then follow words of insult. The enlarging of the mouth is uttering a tide of large words, here against the people of God; in Ezekiel, against Himself Eze.35:13 : “Thus with your mouth ye have enlarged against Me and have multiplied your words against Me.
I have heard.”
God states,”I have heard.” The dreadful words that God speakes against Israel. We are all bound by the words we speak. For the Bible states clearly that, “We shall give account for every idle word that proceeds out of our mouth. Israel spoke against Gods rule and God heard.
Bible prophecy; The name Jew – what ideas does it convey to all the nations of the earth? It is connected with reproach; a name regarded as belonging to a people accursed by God; a name more universally detested than any other known among people. And was it not because this name would be thus dishonored, reproached, and despised, that another was given to the true people of God – the name Christian – an honored name – denoting true attachment to the Messiah?
Isa 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name.(Christian.) Eze 22:4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
Isa 43:28 Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches. Mal 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
(jfb)
Mal 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? Prophecy in Ezekiel chapter 5, shows the future of Israel. And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor,
The prophet’s head, which was to be shaved, signified Jerusalem, which by the judgments of God was now to be stripped of all its ornaments, to be emptied of all its inhabitants, and to be set naked and bare, to be shaved with a razor that is hired, Isa.7:20. The head of one that was a priest, a prophet, a holy person, was fittest to represent Jerusalem the holy city.

In the year 2005, the American Constitution has put into law that the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed legally unless there is a historic theme to the display. I say what a joke.
If you really think about it the whole Bible is Historic from the beginning of time. I ask this question does science displays show any historic meaning, or furthermore does the nakedness of Greek Mythology displays show any historic facts.
I guess it depends on what historic fact is being emphasize or whom is in control. We have many structures in America that have everything from reptiles to who knows what. I ask why is that it we can put up with others signs and symbols, but they can’t put up with ours. Does it hurt them so much when they see the Ten Commandments displayed. If so why? What is the underlining cause of your hurt or contempt. After all if you can except the in God we trust symbol on the American dollar, why can’t you accept the viewing of the Ten Commandments.
Let’s see what the Bible says about Symbolization. In the book of Ezekiel 41:18 it says were carved cherubim and palm trees. Palm trees alternated with cherubim. Each cherub had two faces; the face of a man toward the palm tree on one side and the face of a lion toward the palm tree on the other. Now the NIV Bible dictionary states that the Cherub means this.
A winged, angelic being who exists primarily to glorify God and to vindicate God’s holiness against the presumptuous pride of fallen humans. Symbolic attendant marking the place of God’ enthronement in his earthly kingdom (Exodus 25:18) The plural co cherub is cherubim.
If people were really trying to enforce their belief on others, wouldn’t they create a cherubim. I think the Ten Commandments is a very good way of showing the historic fact not only of the Biblical sense, but also in the American sense for which this country was founded. It’s like back in the 1950″s when they insisted that the teaching of the Bible not be included in the school criteria. Now look at what we have today in America’s public school system, we have drugs, guns, gangs, pregnancy, rape, cheating of school grades by teachers and students. Yes I guess it was a good idea to remove Christ from school. But good for whom I wonder, think about it.
It is written in 1Timothy 4:13 it says Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. Now I ask when will we get back to basics, if ever?
When will we reserve the right to uphold the fundamentals on which this country was founded? Can someone tell me if it has change if so where is it written?
To conclude in the book of 2Thessalonians 2:15 it says So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
Love Always,
Your Sister in Christ,
