Non Cristian, christians?

Of course, interpretations. If your boss gives you a list of 1000 things to do, if you want to do them, you not only you have to read the list, you also have to interpret it, unless is a trite and simple list. If your boss wrote the list using metaphors and figures of speech (as is so often true in the Bible), then the interpretation can be problematic.

For example - I have seen some Christians interpret the light not to be hid under the bushel as the Christian brand of faith. That interpretation creates a need for people to regularly inform or remind others that they are a Christian, or a particular type of Christian and try to draw them into religious discussions with the aim of converting them. Others interpret the light as the love or spirit of God, and they want to be an example, with the assumption that some people will ask why they are always happy, good, etc. Its really a question of style as to how to one makes a statement, and interpretation as to what statement should be made.

That's true... can't argue with that.

"Neither be called 'leaders,' for your Leader is one, the
Christ." - Matthew 23:10

So what's wrong with being called leaders.. ?

"For the reason that your heart has become haughty, and you keep saying, 'I am a god. In the seat of god I have seated myself, in the heart of the open sea,' whereas an earthling man is what you are, and not a god, and you keep making your heart like the heart of god." - Ezekiel 28:2

Ok.. fair enough.. that makes sense.

(Nevertheless.. some atheists shake their heads in disbelief)

So.. what's the solution.. ?

"Next, the end, when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power."

"So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him."

1Corinthians 15:24 + Revelation 12:9

What a great idea.. ! !!

Maybe this is why.. the power junkies don't want to believe in God..

According to the bible..

They - ARE - the devil (meaning.. the deciever).

Half goat.. half man..

Because.. just like a goat..

They try to climb up to the highest places of the land.


Well.. the bible says so.. so it must be true..

"Against the shepherds my anger has grown hot, and against the goat-like leaders I shall hold an accounting: for God has turned his attention to his drove.

Even the pit underneath has become agitated at you in order to meet you on coming in. At you it has awakened those impotent in death, all the goat-like leaders of the earth.

It has made all the kings of the nations get up from their thrones. All of them speak up and say to you,`Have you yourself also been made weak like us? Is it to us that you have been made comparable? Down to the pit your pride has been brought. Beneath you, maggots are spread out as a couch and worms are your covering."

Zechariah 10:3 + Isaiah 14:9

Now.. that's what I call.. word power..
