[QUOTE="Lee VanRoss, post: 1679009, member: 40072"] [I]Mambajamba? [/I] I suspect religion (as you know it) is a 'practice' and I am sorry for that. There is a great difference in reading occasionally [I]from[/I] the Word and reading (or digesting ) the whole Book. [Someone will translate that to say I inferred you did not read the Book-not true] A good measure of the Bible is the annoucement or prophesy of Cyrus by name 150 ? years before he was born. Another is the return of Israel to the land and the Hebrew language. Martin Luther himself said "If the Jews ever return to Israel the churches will empty in the the rush to follow them. So far Luther is partially correct, the churches are emptying. A hundred years ago the thought of Israel being the force they are in the world today was unheard of and would have been ridiculed from the pulpit of most New Testament only churches. I did not grow up in a Bible reading church going house. We were (are) good people by worldly standards and yes as such we were raised to believe in a higher power. Never was in a church other than for a funeral until I left home. Church was sitting in rows looking at the back of some persons head, trying to stay awake while listening to someone reading from notes of/or scripture. That is not church, that is religion. We, you, me and all believers are the Church. The building with the steeple and the parking lot is but [I]a location where church can be held. [/I]I shall not ask your opinion on anything concerning this as you are very clear on where you stand. If by chance someone asks you, "Have you seen My servant Job'? , you can reply, "No, but Your servant Lee mentioned him," [/QUOTE]
