Respect For Life

[locusts]

How does God view life ? JESUS love for the people ?
After Cain murdered his brother, GOD told him: “Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.” ? Religion too has been behind the deaths of millions of people. ? Psalm 36:9.With you is the source of life ? The Bible says: “In her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.” Can you understand why GOD commands us: “Get out of her, my people”? Those who worship GOD are no part of false religion. —Revelation 17:6; 18:2, 4, 24.

Can you explain what is meant by 'Her' please?

[saintpeter48]

Jackanory!!

[AuntPollyGrey]

I'm not Christian but here is no need to be so offensive to the OP

[Mozz71]

//Can you explain what is meant by 'Her' please?//

A typo of here I would guess.

[AuntPollyGrey]

//In her was found the blood of prophets////

//Get out of her, my people”?//

Two typo's?

ok where is 'Here'?

When you studying all the history of the worldwide empire of religion, you see easily why the Supreme Judge has a basis for the execution of Babylon the Great. “Yes, in "her" was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.” (Revelation 18:24)

False religion’s complicity in regional and world wars has made her guilty in God’s sight for the blood of “all those who have been slaughtered on the earth. (She is none other than Satan’s world empire of false religion!)

You can start at Genesis 3:15 and fine who are the two seeds mention there.

// (She is none other than Satan’s world empire of false religion!)//

Thank you for the explanation. Obvious really that the 'baddie' would be female in the Christian Faith. I am so glad I follow beliefs that gives male and female the same status -different rolls but equal.

Rumpole of the bailey was always talking about she who must be obeyed, perhaps he's god.

[Peter Pedant]

yes the bible des say
(Revelation 18:24) Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.

but not in psalms but revelation
which is mystical and we all agree er may not be on the agenda

[Peter Pedant]

come on babies you knew ( well this is AB so perhaps not) I wd do this

καὶ ἐν αὐτῇ αἷμα προφητῶν καὶ ἁγίων εὑρέθη καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐσφαγμένων ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.

αὐτῇ --- her ( dative fem sing) her without a doubt.

this almost certainly ( I dont do mystic) wd be The Scarlet Woman and looking at texts of that time ( that is the sitzimleben of the time of Christ ) he Christians looked on priestesses with suspicion. They didnt have any. There was also the issue we dont have 1-100AD of ritualised prostitution

Honestly during the first lock down i really did copy out a NT dictionary and I now read the NT koine moderately.

[Peter Pedant]

//Get out of her, my people//

Καὶ ἤκουσα ἄλλην φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ λέγουσαν Ἐξέλθατε ὁ λαός μου ἐξ αὐτῆς,

and I heard another voice out of heaven, saying: come out of her my people from her

ἐξ αὐτῆς, - ἐξ - - - ek in front of a vowel ἐξ - - - - αὐτῆς, ek governs the genitive of - so "out of her " is oK

Good example of APG as a copyist thinking - oh no that is wrong and then scribbling in the margin " ἐξ αὐτou puto" An zen puto ( I think ) gets incorporated in the text.

[ I dont think it is too much for ABers to pretend that APG is an ancient biblical copyist and showing how alterations may arise, is it?
It is I agree a contrast to the usual far of " you said X!" "foo I didnt!" " You did so!" which occupies pages of normal AB ] - and then later the textual critics try to sort it all out

[goodlife]

It fun but you have no respect for life.

[vulcan42]

goodlife, you've got it wrong, we have respect for life but none whatsoever for religion. There was life on this planet long before religion was ever dreamed of.

[Old_Geezer]

Aren't all religions equally false ?
Then beware of revering your reference book.

[rowanwitch]

She is the mother, the power that was, before your made up little religion with your imaginary prophet and patriarchal system. You are of the earth as are all creatures Believe in something real the air you breathe, the water you drink, and that flows in your veins.
She doesn't need angels or demons, she doesn't need adoration prayer or preaching, just your respect

[fiveleaves]

Have you ever wondered why there are so many named people in the Bible especially in the Old Testament?
This gives me a view on what God thinks of people

[Atheist]

Fiveleaves 16:33. I really don't understand you. Re-read what you have written and then try to understand why I don't have a clue. If you think it is obvious, then I apologise for being slow on the uptake, and I hope you will explain it to me simply.

[archibaldy]

locusts: // Religion too has been behind the deaths of millions of people. ? //

Indeed it has.

[naomi24]

Fiveleaves, //Have you ever wondered why there are so many named people in the Bible especially in the Old Testament?
This gives me a view on what God thinks of people //

No, I have never wondered - and I haven't the foggiest idea what you're talking about. Give me a clue.

[fiveleaves]

Atheist and Naomi, I dont think I was being that cryptic, but I was trying to get people to think.
There are a vast number of named people in the Bible. This shows they are significant to God, they all matter, otherwise why are these people all named in the first place. You get that sort of thing in the Koran
