Is it biblical, I don't know?!<br /><br />The pastor had some really interesting things to say. He talked about how here in NZ we have so much going for us (perfect weather/surroundings) and yet we have a high teenage suicide rate and huge drug problems. Why is that?!<br /><br />I think it's because we don't look to God when things are easy, we should, but we don't. We forever look at our own stuff as evident in a song like I am a friend of God. Instead of just being in reverence to a mighty awesome God!<br /><br />Anyway, the service made me think and I was glad I went.sewfunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167025366400313744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-70322358159363188622009-08-24T12:40:45.059+12:002009-08-24T12:40:45.059+12:00when was this posted? there's some interestin...when was this posted? there's some interesting stuff on your blog and if i knew you were active then i could return more often. feel free to comment on my blog if you like.shallowfrozenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16929302765265013464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-31790676816943159072009-08-19T01:39:56.088+12:002009-08-19T01:39:56.088+12:00fackin rude gat man!fackin rude gat man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-3787693660085201122009-08-18T19:30:26.895+12:002009-08-18T19:30:26.895+12:00The snake is a symbol for a student of religious l...The snake is a symbol for a student of religious law. thus the tribe of Dan (the name means: judge), is represented by a snake. The first five books in the Old Testament are called: "the Books of the Law". The Biblical scholars who studied these books are in-correctly identified as: "lawyers" in some versions of the New Testament. Either way, these scholars of Biblical law were called "snakes" by John the Baptist. A poisonous snake is one that teaches falsehoods about the law. So, for example, Job's 3 friends could be called: "poisonous snakes". Jesus compared himself to the bronze snake raised up on the pole and because he represents: "the word of God" and the word of God is: "the Books of the Law". Moses said that his words were like the rain and Moses is the reputed author of the Books of the Law. Thus, if his words are like the rain, then Moses himself must be a cloud. In order for the sunlight to reach men, the cloud must be removed, hence "the word of God must die" before men reach a state of enlightenment.drorbenaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-91448282428112403072009-07-21T00:06:49.528+12:002009-07-21T00:06:49.528+12:00donnie darko?donnie darko?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-73419761934488876552009-03-19T14:13:00.000+13:002009-03-19T14:13:00.000+13:00hmmm, the posters say it all!hmmm, the posters say it all!sewfunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12167025366400313744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-39897683636860614522009-02-12T03:08:00.000+13:002009-02-12T03:08:00.000+13:00WOW these are potent.

Having said that I bought the original Halo for $8 and I'm enjoying it much more... the level design is far better than Halo 3. <BR/><BR/>Of course since I'm down here in Wgtn I have no home internet connection, but I'm very much looking forward to getting home to play on Live.

You raise an interesting question, "Is God being hypocritical?" I have no doubt that when Moses heard the command to furnish a bronze snake, he had soda come out of his nose as he choked on God's words. In Acts 10, Peter is asked to do something extreme; to eat unclean food. It sent a very powerful message to Peter. The snakes were very much the same way. The people were saying that the Lord's deliverance was bad, the food stinks, and that they were just being led out to die, which not only was untrue, but it was blatently blaphemous. God, as judgment sends snakes. The snake was a very, very hated symbol. Just as they complained about detestable food, God sent them something truly destestable...snakes. Now, if you have a cultural disposition to hate snakes, and your pals are getting eaten up by them, imagine the shock factor that is involved when you have to look at a bronze (idol) snake to get your healing. Would you get the point? God is going overboard, using extreme symbolism to get the point across that the behavior of the Israelites in the wilderness is not okay. It is extemely shocking, and that's the point. Hope that helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-73320814682591805322008-10-10T23:04:00.000+13:002008-10-10T23:04:00.000+13:00Oh my.Couldn't work out whether that was for or ag...Oh my.<BR/><BR/>Couldn't work out whether that was for or against.BJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836871676533938956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-90494120165799920392008-10-05T17:02:00.000+13:002008-10-05T17:02:00.000+13:00where do you find these gems!where do you find these gems!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21837074.post-14062302476136341472008-09-10T22:38:00.000+12:002008-09-10T22:38:00.000+12:00We have one of those baby "straight-jackets".
