Biblical Contradictions

A part of me feels a bit cluttered finer the meaning of "truth" being it comes to the bible. I study the bible, yet I find contradictions within the scriptures of each lob and book. I simply rely on the bible, yet I brandish a number of interpretations of particular matters.

For set of circumstances, in Romans 7:1, it states, "Now, dear brothers and sisters you who are familiar with the law
don't you know that the law applies lone to a for one person who is become quiet living?"

Then, if you read on to verse 4, it states, "So this is the point: The law no longer holds you in its power, in the role of you died to its power being you died with Christ on the crossbreed."

Then you brandish this passage:

"You and I are Jews by depart, not 'sinners' pleasure the Gentiles. And yet we Jewish Christians know that we become truly with God, not by produce a result what the law guidelines, but by optimism in Jesus Christ. So we brandish believed in Christ Jesus, that we can be accepted by God in the role of of our optimism in Christ-and not in the role of we brandish obeyed the law. For no one request ever be saved by obeying the law." ~Galatians 2:15-16

So if no one request ever be saved by "obeying "the law, then how can Christians and preachers tell us that if we don't maintain the law, then we'll end up in eternal damnation? Which one is the truth? Which laws become quiet exploit today? If Jesus took somewhere else the law by dying up on the crossbreed, isn't "that "the truth?

Wine produces mockers; liquor leads to brawls. Whoever is led deep in thought by revel cannot be learned. ~Proverbs 20:1

The conflicting scriptures:

And it is not for kings, O Lemuel, to rinse wine. Rulers requirement not hanker liquor. For if they revel, they may ignore their duties and be barred to boast truth to persons who are oppressed. Liquor is for the dying, and wine is for persons in hollow sad. Let them revel to ignore their penury and unplanned their evils no choice. ~Proverbs 31:4-7

So using up wine is good for depression? Isn't alcohol a depressant?

Calm so, I brandish noticed one thing, at smallest, that is good. It is good for line to eat well, revel a good casement of wine, and manipulate their work-whatever they do under the sun-for on the other hand want God lets them conscious. ~Ecclesiastes 5:18

Don't revel lone water. You ought to revel a follow up wine for the sake of your rack in the role of you are shoddily so evenly. ~1 Timothy 23

I do realize that everything in control is key, but tell that to an exciting who's recovering. One revel is loads to twig them off the wagon.

Didn't Jesus make water within wine?

There's altered contradiction to what the Catholics repute, as wary to what some Christians may repute, which is tongue in tongues. In Corinthians 12, it states that God gives the ability to speak in unknown languages, and altered is unmovable the ability to interpret what is being theoretical. It is the one and lone Blessed Body who distributes these gifts.

I've gone to a spirit-filled church in the past, and I brandish on the ball one for one person tongue in tongues, and then altered for one person translating what the honorable theoretical to somebody. It was the first time I brandish ever witnessed this. I didn't know what to suggest. At first, I was engaged aback, but then I was really immersed by it all. Why do some line of optimism repute this, and others do not? It's in the bible, so it has to be true, right?

Doesn't matter what about name-calling?

"Matthew 32:17" (Jesus says) "Shade fools!"

Defiant scripture:

But I say, if you are critical with someone, you are area to judgment! If you hum someone an idiot, you are in hardship of being brought in the past the high house. And if you curse someone, you are in hardship of the fires of hell. ~Matthew 5:22

Organize are other contradictions, such as, "God is be thinking about, unmerciful, malicious, and undomesticated" [Jer 13:14 / Deut 7:16 / 1 Sam 15:2,3 / 1 Sam 6:19]

"God is warm, kindly, and good" [James 5:11 / Lam 3:33 / 1 Chron 16:34 / Ezek 18:32 / Ps 145:9 / 1 Tim 2:4 / 1 John 4:16 / Ps 25:8]

Which credit frenzy God best? Doesn't matter what are we to believe? Human resources brandish so oodles views, beliefs, as well as questions.

How can it be just one truth?

How To Perform Protection Spells

We all feel vulnerable at times. A protection spell can empower you. Whether it is the negative energies of others or fear for your property, you are not helpless. You can build a field of energy that will keep destructive forces away. Read on to learn how to perform protection spells.

Instructions

1.Identify your fears. The kind of protection you need will influence the spell you perform. Mentally destructive forces need to be handled differently from physical threats.

2.Describe the ownership history of your home, if that's what you want to protect. Pay attention to the feelings you get when you write about previous owners. The energies they have left behind could be what's making you feel uncomfortable.

3.Meditate on the person who is causing you grief if you are performing the spell for protection against someone. Write a letter addressing that person and explaining why you feel vulnerable.

4.Buy a black and white candle. Light it in a place in your home where you feel safe. Imagine a thick field of white energy surrounding you. Call up that protective field of energy when you feel threatened.

5.Pour hot water over a 1 tsp. of basil. Let it sit for half an hour. Run a warm bath and add the basil water. Relax and envision yourself moving through life confident and brave.

6.Eat more protein like chicken, beans, cheese and tofu when feeling vulnerable to help ground you. Spicy dishes with garlic, onions, black pepper and cayenne keep negative energies away. Eat while visualizing that you are protected from threatening forces.

7.Perform a simple protection spell for your home by burning sage in a censer. Walk through every room in your house, including the attic, basement and garage, chanting words that empower you.

Tips & Warnings

* When using incantations, say positive words that empower you rather than negative words against someone or something.

This is simple magic protection spell for the protection of a room, household or other physical location against negative energies or bad spirits.

How to cast it:

1.Cast a Witch's Circle. If you use a besom for this, sweep the entire area that you wish to protect.

2.Asperse (sprinkle with purified water) the area that you are protecting. Pay special attention to any doors, windows or corners.

3.Cast the sea salt around the edges of the area. You need not be heavy-handed, just a few salt crystals per foot is quite sufficient.

4.Light the incense and allow it to burn for a few moments before continuing. Many denominations of witchcraft begin chanting or prayers at this point.

5.Use the fan or feather to cense (direct smoke towards) the entire area. Work clockwise (doesil) and wave the fan through the smoke to send it outwards. As with the water, pay special attention to doors, windows and corners. Finish your chants and invoke any deities or energies whose blessing you desire upon the protected area. Finish with your normal ritual and close the circle.

House Blessing Feast Of The Epiphany

Updated from the Archives:

The Epiphany of Christ, Raphael Sanzio, 1508, scene 50 of the Raphael Loggia

This year the Feast of the Epiphany will be celebrated on Sunday, January 2nd. The Epiphany is on January 6th but in the US is celebrated on the first Sunday following January 1st. Epiphany, or "twelfth night of Christmas," is traditionally celebrated in honor of Christ's birth, of the adoration of the Magi, and of the baptism of Christ's (also celebrated on the first Sunday following Epiphany), three manifestations of the Lord's divinity.

PRAYER

The blessing of the home is a popular Epiphany custom. using specially blessed chalk (your parish priest will bless the chalk, if you ask, or use the prayer of blessing below), many households mark their entrance door with the year and with the inscription CMB, the initial Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, the names of the three wise man in legend. The inscription also stands for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, which means "Christ, bless this home." The popular form the inscription takes is 20+C+M+B+11. It remains above the doorway until Pentecost.

BLESSING OF CHALK

"Let us pray. O Lord God, bless this creature chalk to make it helpful to man. Grant that we who use it with faith and inscribe with it upon the entrance of our homes may enjoy physical health and spiritual protection. Through Christ our Lord. Amen."

HOUSE BLESSING

Lord God of Heaven and Earth, who hast revealed thine only-begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star: Bless this house and all who inhabit it. Fill them with the light of Christ, that their love for others may truly reflect thy love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

ACTIVITIES o Place the three kings in your nativity set
o Exchange gifts"However the exchange of gifts on the solemnity of the Epiphany should retain a Christian character, indicating that its meaning is evangelical: hence the gifts offered should be a genuine expression of popular piety and free from extravagance, luxury, and waste, all of which are extraneous to the Christian origins of this practice." from Catholic Culture o This is a little craft I tweaked from the Little Saints book

FOOD

o Make star shaped sugar cookies or pancakes with one big star to represent the one that led the wise men to our Lord o Because the Magi came form the Orient, many of the traditional foods served on this day are spicy. Spice cake is often baked for dessert, and entrees may include curry powder or other pungent spices.
o Make Lamb's Wool Punch as in England, Twelfth Night was traditionally celebrated with a drink called Lamb's Wool, made of cider or ale, with roasted apples and sugar and spices. This Old English and Irish punch, which dates form the Middle Ages, probably gets its name from the wooly appearance of the flesh of the roasted apples floating in the cider.
LAMB'S WOOL PUNCH
6 baking apples, cored
2 tablespoons to 1/2 cup brown sugar
2 quarts sweet cider, or hard cider, or ale or a mixture of cider and ale
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Roast the apples in a baking pan at 450 degrees F. for about an hour, or until they are very soft and begin to burst. (An alternative and quicker procedure is to peel and boil the apples until they are very soft and flaky.) You may leave the apples whole, or break them up.
In a large saucepan, dissolve the sugar a few tablespoons at a time in the cider or ale, tasting for sweetness. Add the spices. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the liquid over the apples in a large punch bowl, or serve in large heat resistant mugs. recipe from Women for Faith & Family
