Speaking of the Bible...a tool for personal enlightenment, becomes ammunition against others in the hands of corrupt men and women!
My personal favorite chapter in the bible is a Ecclesiastes...the existential chapter of the bible.....
In Chapter and verse 9:13 called Wisdom better than folly, King Solomon tells a very important story....
Ecclesiastes 9:13-9:18
"I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me:
(14)There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siegeworks against it.
(15) Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man.
(16) So I said, "Wisdom is better than strength." But the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.
(17) The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler of fools.
(18) Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good."
Mr. Bush has done much to bring the wrath of the people upon him, but remember, he does not work alone.
Ecclesiastes also teaches us in 12:14..." God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil"....That includes all of those right winged Christian, bible waving republicans who are clearly lost and need ministering to!
Many blessings!
P.S. As a minister I am no longer performing heterosexual marriages until we can celebrate our own marriages equally and I urge others to do the same.
