We were playing SO nicely!
Everybody was having fun quoting stuff like "I will fill all the land round about Jerusalem with blood." -Please- don't let Master LifeSquirter hijack this thread with his barren babbling!

Remember this one the next time a psychic claims to have some special connection to God:<BLOCKQUOTE>But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
—Deuteronomy 18:20-22
</BLOCKQUOTE>False prophets should be executed. How do you know if a prophet is false? If what they forsee doesn't come to pass! So, according to the Bible, if someone says they have a vision of the future, and it doesn't happen like they say, kill them?
And take a look at these:<BLOCKQUOTE>Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
—Matthew 23:36
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
—Matthew 24:34
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
—Mark 9:1
Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
—Mark 13:30
But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
—Luke 9:27
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
—Luke 21:32
Verily, verily, I say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
—John 5:25
</BLOCKQUOTE>Jesus says the end of the world will happen in this generation. Speaketh Jesus in the name of the LORD?
I also like this quote from Jesus, although it's a bit of a downer as the winter holidays approach.<BLOCKQUOTE>Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
--Luke 12:51-53
</BLOCKQUOTE>Well, that's nice. Actually, it does kind of sound like my family at the holidays.

Apparently, God doesn't like handicapped people.<BLOCKQUOTE>21:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
21:17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
21:18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
21:19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
21:20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
21:21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
21:22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
21:23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
—Leviticus 21:16-23</BLOCKQUOTE>This is particularly sad, because it seems God was the one who made them handicapped in the first place. In fact, He sounds pretty proud of it.<BLOCKQUOTE>And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? —Exodus 4:11</BLOCKQUOTE>And Jesus seems to preach that people are handicapped because of sin. Here's what He says to a crippled man after healing him.<BLOCKQUOTE>Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. —John 5:14</BLOCKQUOTE>

Perhaps you'll need to read up a bit background in Acts Ch. 4, 32-36
Acts Ch. 5
<BLOCKQUOTE> 5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Could it after all be that the [gasp] holy Comrade Peter coldbloodedly [gasp] murdered Ananias and Saphira?
Noooo, who would get such a foolish idea.
