You Think Too Much!

I’m aware that I do not have many readers here, but I would like for any of you to tell or guess who said the following.  If you have no idea, maybe you could guess what the context of the quote might be?  What is the subject being discussed?

You have the idea that the Bible is pristine, directly from God to you. However the Bible took a very, very long time to get to you and in that time there have been many, many people who have handled it. The Holy Spirit has declared the truthfulness of the Bible to us, in that we have not just a belief but a knowledge that the Bible is true. We do not have a witness that the Bible is unaltered by fallible man.

Happy guessing.  Also, please invite all your friends to comment also.  If you do know certainly, please do not give your source of knowledge.

If you look up the word “casual” in the Webster’s 1828 Dictionary, you will find the phrase, “see [also] Accident.” At the scene of accidents, you find “casualties.” “Casualty,” I was told some years ago, has the same root word as “casual.” Or, to put it more simply, accidents happen when things are taken casually. Even things like casual attire.

If there is one thing that reveals how far American society has fallen, it is how far our dress standards have fallen. The prostitutes from years ago would blush at the sight of what many of today’s grade school and junior high girls wear to class every day. For generations, the Bible was our standard-bearer for how we dressed: modesty and contrast between the sexes were the standards, and these, by their very definition, implied dignity, beauty, and a demand for respect. Tragically, Hollywood and the music industry set our standards for dress today, and their lifestyles represent no limits, which brings - at its end - futility or madness. Look deep in the eyes of your average entertainer: they are empty, hollow, and lost. They are evil and self-loving; and you will see there no fear of God. Yet, most American moms and dads have few qualms about these type of people setting dress standards for their children. Read the rest of Casual Dress, Casual Life »

I’m sure this is not the first time you’ve heard this, but I was reading and was struck by the condition the Israelites were in because the Philistines produced all their tools for them. The same thing happens when we allow the world to produce all our weapon. It gives us dull, blunt-edged swords and lots of other tools that look like they should work but are not the real thing.

Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears: But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his colter, and his axe, and his mattock. Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the colters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
(1 Samuel 13:19-22)

So long to the Dollar Menu and those greasy Double Cheeseburgers.  The McDonald’s executive implies that those who oppose same-sex marriages are hateful.  I hate sitting out on my double cheeseburgers, but I will.  I don’t hate homosexual people, but their agenda has no place in American society.  Here’s an article at the Washington Post.
