No need. God can save everyone from himself without them needing
to know.
Being almighty God can make his wishes known to all in an unambiguous

Congratulations! to those readers who have resolutely continued with the
Daily Readings for the last 11+ months. For you will have now read 4/5ths
of the Old Testament, and over one and three-quarters of the New.
May God bless your continued effort and dedication.

Bible Readings for today.
Job 35
Zechariah 11
Revelation 12-13

For those who want to go directly to the source of this study guide,
it can be found at http://www.antipas.org/readings/readings.html

It takes normally between 20-30 mins per day depending on one's reading
speed.
It will be found many unanswered questions which may have seemed puzzling
and "Hard to be understood" are slowly and precisely answered as the Bible
is methodically read through day after day.

Here is a helpful link for anyone who either does not have a Bible to
hand, or might prefer reading from their computer, or might want to compare
different translations, or even read non-English versions:

Pity the nazis at St Vini's don't realise that.....

' Queensland St Vincent de Paul Society ordered to pay $27,500 to
president sacked for not being Catholic '

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24846448-1248,00.html

' In its tribunal documents, the society argued its primary function was
to "inculcate the Catholic faith in its members" and the charity aspect
was secondary for presidents, which meant they needed to be Catholic. '

So everyone remember, St Vinis are the new Christian taliban, the money
you donate is not for the needy, it's for conversion....

(At the end of the day though St Vini's have done a lot of good, but if
this is the sort of cunts they are I think the money would be a lot
better spent on the Salvos. The problem is every dollar to any Christian
charity is 20 cents to the defence fund for the next pedophile priest...
If you really want to do good donate to the RSPCA, humans can defend
themselves, animal's can't.)

- James 3:13-18 -

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good
life,
by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor
bitter
envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the
truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly,
unspiritual,
of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find
disorder and every evil practice.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then
peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit,
impartial
and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

The Dark Sabbath.

The entire world is wrong about keeping the Sabbath commandment and I
can prove it. I’ll exclude the Christian point of view all together
and look at the Jewish perspective. The first thing I did was google,
“How long is a Jewish Sabbath?”

The Jewish Sabbath day of rest, called Shabbat in Hebrew, begins on
Friday evening and ends on Saturday evening.
http://judaism.about.com/od/sabbathdayshabb2/

It confirms what I know, that the Jewish Sabbath is 24 hrs to them. I
just wanted to be thorough because I’m not a Jew and don’t speak for
them. So, what does the Torah say? The first thing we need to
understand is not add anything or take away from the written word.
One of the largest problems in reading scriptures is that we read them
with preconceived ideas and when we read something, we make it fit
into what we already believe. One of the wonders of scriptures is
that some of the issues aren’t just spelled out in black and white
terms. The Sabbath is one of those issues.

1Ch 16:12 Remember His wonders which He has done, His SIGNS and the
right-rulings of His mouth,

I have no problem accepting the books of Peter and find nothing wrong
with the doctrine Peter puts forward and you can believe, I been over
each book with a discerning eye. Peter speaks of keeping the
commandments and good works.

The fact is Ike, we don't know who authored many things because we
weren't alive to witness it but we should judge the work by what's
written. Nobody can claim to know exactly when Peter or any book in
scriptures was written... by your argument, should we reject the whole
scripture just because we don't know the person and when he wrote
it???
