The man who built his house on the Rock

This is what the LORD says:
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who depends on flesh for his strength
and whose heart turns away from the LORD.

6 He will be like a bush in the wastelands;
he will not see prosperity when it comes.
He will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
in a salt land where no one lives.

7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.

8 He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."

9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?

10 "I the LORD search the heart
and examine the mind,
to reward a man according to his conduct,
according to what his deeds deserve."

11 Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay
is the man who gains riches by unjust means.
When his life is half gone, they will desert him,
and in the end he will prove to be a fool.

12 A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.

13 O LORD, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust
because they have forsaken the LORD,
the spring of living water.

14 Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed;
save me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.
Jeremiah 18

Can you translate this floating gibberish into english please, and tell us why you find this interesting enough to start a discussion?

I believe Poko's convinced we need saving and he's doing his best to convince us so we don't burn in hell.

Alright. If that's what it is, he could try and save us using english instead of this gibberish.

No I believe poko is writing another criptic thread and if you can decipher it, you will have the blue print for building a star hopping space rocket, I already have the toilet system designed from his previous posts. Shocked

Poko,

I respect your right to worship as you see fit and I honor your biblical references in the same way that I would honor references from all other religions.

Perhaps the kind and helpful thing for us to do in this case would be to direct you toward a more Christian oriented branch of the THC Ministry?

Please do not feel insulted by any attempts to discourage your fellowship. It remains my belief that there is a place for those of ALL religious persuasions among our bretheren, sometimes we just need to show a little more compassion and understanding toward those whose have found a different path than our own.

I personally recommend this branch of our diverse multi-faith ministry to you:

As a good friend once said ... Follow Your Bliss.

highest regards to you,

Stokes

if you were free from dogma you would have no problem about reading biblical references. Your light would shine over darkness. The verse that i posted is also against man made religion and dogma if you look carefully to it. If a man is from the Lord, he will hear what comes from the Lord. The man that do not wants to hear, is rejecting his own good. And this is the good for man, to walk on paths of good.

dogma is to believe something that your pastor or religious guru told you, to accept their own interpretation of what is written. The Spirit will tell you the correct interpretation of the word, and the Spirit will free you from dogma as well. If you realize you are wrong, but you just blindly believe what they told you, you are living in dogma, and you are living in idolatry because you are following a false god.

I said that the good path is the path of good, do you agree with it? so then, just walk on the way and not in ways that lead to nothing. Blessed is the man who builds his house on the rock. The storm will come and his house will stand.

If 'The spirit' you refer to is your own consiousness, indeed, the 'spirit' will free you from dogmas, that is, if you don't 'believe' the biblical scriptures, because those are mostly dogmas, written by dudes who claimed to 'hear' and 'see' an imaginary entity named 'god'.

It is their interpretation that is believed to be absolute truth by bible believers, that book is written by humans, not by some sort of entity.

The most used bible quotes all around the world are written by a dude who's name is assumed to be 'Paul' and who wrote that in the years 1100 AC.

On that 'path of good' you refer to, that's very subjective, for example, that criminally insane sociopath who runs the US of A at present times is convinced to walk that path, and even more disturbing, his biggest fans are those who believe in the bible.

One must be extremely gullible to believe that fairy tales are truth.

i did not quote paul. There´s a book named morals and dogma, maybe you know what book is it. But morals and dogma are not the same thing, morals are the Spirit, and dogma is what they teach in their lodges.
