“This is not merely an educational directive but a crucial step in ensuring our students grasp the core values and historical context of our country,” Walters said in the memorandum, noting the “substantial influence” that the Bible and Ten Commandments have on the country’s founders and the constitution.
Walters contended that the Bible and the Ten Commandments are essential components of American history and Western civilization.
During an interview on CNN on Tuesday, Walters willingly subjected himself to questioning, fully aware of what was to come.
As expected, News Central host Pamela Brown remained true to form.
“We just referenced it, and in this, you’re saying that the teaching of the Bible in the classroom is a must, that every teacher must accept that. The Bible includes beheading, rape, and incest. Do you support teaching children about those topics?”
“I support teaching children our history accurately and what we’ve seen is the radical left and the teachers’ union have driven the Bible out of schools.”
“You can’t talk about our rights coming from God, as Thomas Jefferson referenced, you can’t talk about Abraham Lincoln talking about being on God’s side in what he does and that inspires him. You can’t talk about the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King Jr., who routinely referenced examples from the Bible, including from a “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to say the reason I’m doing the things I’m doing is because of the tenets taught to me by the Bible, so it’s essential that our kids understand our history and we’re going to put it back in and the left is going to continue to try to censor our history. Well, we’re not gonna allow it here in Oklahoma.”
Brown, of course, wasn’t phased.
“Okay, you didn’t answer my question. We’re going to get to the history and everything, and by the way, Thomas Jefferson, he advocated for freedom of religion, actually not the establishment of a religion for one, but are you okay with all teachings of the Bible? If you want to bring it back into the classroom, rape, incest, beheading. Are you— Is that acceptable to you?”
“Okay, so will you allow teachers to teach all aspects of the Bible? How are teachers supposed to know what of the Bible to teach and what of the Bible not to teach? It’s a simple question, given the fact that the Bible includes, also, you know, pornographic material, something you’ve come out against and actually took a teaching certificate away from a teacher for giving access to students— and pornographic material. That’s in the Bible.”
“Yeah, let me be crystal clear. The Bible is not on the same plane as Gender Queer and Flamer. These are pornography, the Bible is a book that was referenced throughout American history.
We have academic standards that tell our teachers that you are to talk about the Bible in reference to the Mayflower Compact, “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” the Declaration of Independence, so these are all very clear. It’s very clear from primary sources that these individuals reference history— in our history, they referenced the Bible.
So look, when it’s historically accurate, we’re absolutely going to include that. I mean, think about how absurd it would be to teach about the Pilgrims if you don’t mention their intention for moving to the New World, it’s crucial and we’re not gonna allow the radical left to continue to push a false history on our kids that said that faith played no role, well, just read the history. It’s clearly there.”
WATCH:
In Walters’ viewpoint, it is accurate to say that teaching the Bible to school children isn’t just about highlighting David’s beheading of Goliath, but rather about providing students with a deeper comprehension of their nation’s past.

“The Bible includes beheading, rape, and incest. Do you support teaching children about those topics?”
Many of the significant events in human history contain beheadngs, rape, and incest. Surely you are not advocating we not teach about WWI, WWII, slavery in America, the history of the American Indians, or the Roman Empire (to name a few) because one or more of these elements existed in those topics? Your question shows both ignorance and extreme bias, suggesting a standard which you clearly neither believe nor apply to other topics.
“Okay, so will you allow teachers to teach all aspects of the Bible? How are teachers supposed to know what of the Bible to teach and what of the Bible not to teach?”
This is nonsense.
Teachers are to teach to a specific curriculum and set of educational standards. They are not given free rein to teach whatever they want. If that were true, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion, would we?
David did not behead Goliath!!!! That statement alone verifies how little people know what the Bible really says!
I concur Patricia; and how little actual faith they have in God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ! People just blow it all off and carry on with their trivial pursuits, and think “whatever,” when the end comes “I’ll see what’s up then!” NO! God already spelled out how it works and what is required of each cognizant human being who wants to be saved from eternal damnation, which is what all humans would deserve and can get by their “own free will,” if they do not listen to Him!
And they speak so easily about beheadings being a Christian issue, when that is so far from the truth it’s actually demented! And it’s the Muslims who have demonstrated what that subject is all about very clearly and out in the open in recent times as well as ancient! Yet I never hear these Christian resenting attackers fussing about all the Muslim demands being met in our schools, government and society at large! Why is that?
David with ingenuity and a stone in a sling with God’s blessing took down the giant who could have and would have easily crushed David with his awesome brute force power!
Thank you very much for defending the word of GOD but in doing so we must always get our facts strait David did indeed cut off Goliath head after he had knocked him out with a rock! Then he slew Goliath with his own sword then he cut off the giant’s head off with that same sword
I Samuel 17:51 “Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith.”
Shalom

The debate was about Christians doing beheadings or that they would consider such as fine wanting to teach Scriptures in public schools which is a lie and not according to actual New Testament Scriptures but this was the Old Testament reference which you did bring out; and David did use ingenuity to topple Goliath, that’s all I was driving at! When the Lord, Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ came the Old was replaced by the “New and everlasting covenant of the New Testament of Jesus Christ” the word of God Himself as He was Jesus in the flesh that is the most important matter to keep focused on, as he never laid a hand on anyone and as all are doomed to eternal Damnation without Him and the word of God!
Here it seems you would prefer to pick on some dead bones rather than bring forth “Christ’s message of salvation!” Without which all would perish and eternally suffer. Watch your own steps carefully and where you tread you may go off a cliff into that abyss!
The key was to not consider any beheading as worthy of God’s praise and there are “multitudes today that still think that is great and will do it in a heartbeat to anyone they decide!” Your correction here still puts down Christians as you say nothing about Christ’s testimony and purpose! Still we come full circle to the heart of the matter in more ways than one.
Hebrews 10:19-21 “Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God,”
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Shalom.
God bless in the holy name of Jesus.
My intent is never to add to anyone’s confusion about what God has imparted to us through the precious body and blood of our Savior Jesus Christ and the Father’s word He brought forth to we fallen humans.
I had left this discussion before I left the following that I prepared to properly address this vitally important matter for all to take to heart!
Just to help anyone out there reading who may have been disconcerted by my and others comments this should completely clarify what I meant and most important what Jesus himself told his Disciples for all of us to learn. Yes children in school too! Here is the genuine underlying message from God.
1 Samuel 17:42-51
“Goliath looked at David with disgust. He saw that David was only a handsome, healthy boy. Goliath said to David, “What is that stick for? Did you come to chase me away like a dog?” Then Goliath used the names of his gods to say curses against David. He said to David, “Come here, and I’ll feed your body to the birds and wild animals.” David said to the Philistine, “You come to me using sword, spear, and javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD All-Powerful, the God of the armies of Israel. You have said bad things about him. Today the LORD will let me defeat you. I will kill you. I will cut off your head and feed your body to the birds and wild animals. And we will do the same thing to all the other Philistines too. Then all the world will know there is a God in Israel. All the people gathered here will know that the LORD doesn’t need swords or spears to save people. The battle belongs to the doesn’t need swords or spears to save people. The battle belongs to the LORD, and he will help us defeat all of you.” Goliath the Philistine started to attack David. He slowly walked closer and closer toward David, but David ran out to meet Goliath. David took out a stone from his bag. He put it in his sling and swung the sling. The stone flew from the sling and hit Goliath right between the eyes. The stone sank deep into his head, and Goliath fell to the ground—face down. So David defeated the Philistine with only a sling and one stone! He hit the Philistine and killed him. David didn’t have a sword, so he ran and stood beside the Philistine. Then David took Goliath’s own sword out of its sheath and used it to cut off his head. That is how David killed the Philistine. When the other Philistines saw their hero was dead, they turned and ran.”
Matthew 26:51-53 “At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?”
God bless you. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.

Sorry I didn’t finish this when I intended but thankfully another came along with something just as vitally needed to hear and learn in this matter that applied to right now.
Is everybody seeing and hearing what God Almighty is teaching here?
The meek humble boy David who came up against the most powerful brutal killing machine Goliath was able to topple him quickly and simply as God spoke to that boy David’s genuine good heart; and whereas the irony is Goliath who was an arrogant brute killer machine of men dies by his own sword, that “he had lived by.” Which just as Holy Scriptures teach us and point out is exactly illustrating what God said receives “His approval and blessing.” And that the choice is each of ours to make; we can listen to God the Father or we can run amuck and do what the wicked ways of the world predicate and take the consequence!
Dear Laurence M.
Please consider this:
You say that The “Old Testament” was replaced by what we now call the “New Testament”. You might want to reconsider that opinion. You refer to the Old Testament as “dead bones”.
Paul, (the writer of most of the “New testament”), would not have said that!
Consider what Paul said to Timothy:
2 Timothy
3:15 “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:16 All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
What scripture was Paul talking about here? The writings which we refer to as the “New Testament” wasn’t written or compiled when Paul was talking to Timothy here. It could have only been referring to the Hebrew writings or what we now call the “Old Testament”. He didn’t think that they had been replaced.
I repeat:
“All scripture (the Hebrew) [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”
The “New Testament” was given to us to help to amplify and understand the Hebrew scriptures. Not to replace them. I submit to you that to truly understand the “New” we need to have a firm foundation and understanding of the “Old”. Starting with the Greek writings is like trying to build a house by starting with the roof first.
You don’t have to agree, but that’s the truth.
Thank you for considering what I have written here for you!
Your brother in Messiah,
Merlin
Shalom
Sill at it I see. Good, but I wouldn’t be so foolish to think that all the teachings of the Old Testament are useless which you incorrectly interpreted and imply from what I was driving at in a previous point being illustrated. In the Old Testament making animal sacrifices to God was required and considered the right thing to do in worshiping His authority and omnipotence in all things, He being the “Alpha and the Omega;” healthy submission and alignment with God’s word is what was required, while remaining steadfast and focused on Him, Almighty God!
But later when Jesus came to earth, “God Himself,” He made the “New and Everlasting Covenant” with “mankind God’s children” in order to “fully allow a means of full atonement for all their corruption and sins!” Nothing that was done in the Old testament, sacrifices, fasting and so on “could fully sanctify men” or that would “allow them to join God in His holiness,” and therefore it was no longer the proper and fitting thing to consider for them to do; but only through accepting fully the gift of the “blood and body of Jesus Christ” our “Lord Savior and Redeemer” are we ever going to be allowed into “God’s Holy domain in Paradise and be in His perfection!”
That is the real crux right there no debate needed!
John 14:5-7 “Lord,” said Thomas, “we do not know where You are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”
1 Corinthians 2:13-15 “And this is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.”
And this is spoken to in the Holy Catholic Mass.
John 14:25-27 “All this I have spoken to you while I am still with you. 26But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you. 27Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid.”
John 10:15-17 “just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd. 17The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.”
John 10:3 “The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”
John 10:4 “When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.”
Jesus is back with His Father and the Holy Spirit of God, and still I do hear Him just as He said we can.
So for all intent and purposes the Old Testament though not totally null and void, doesn’t serve the purpose that God inspired it for in the first place “when” it was totally valid and needed! “Now one must focus on the New Testament” and what “Jesus Christ Himself” on earth said in those words in the above Scripture “if a person is to be saved,” and that is the key we want to be saved not get into semantics and debates about Old and New as you wish to do; which is “a fool’s errand” as the additional Scripture I left for you states! Please realize your error and quit the debate class with “God’s Holy Words and Directives via Jesus Christ;” “the only path to Salvation!”
Amen.
God bless you.
Shalom.

David in fact DID behead Goliath using Goliath’s own sword, 1st Samuel 17/50-53. David first used a sling and stone to strike Goliath but removed his head thereafter and held it up to the Philistine garrison.
Your review Stan is noteworthy also, but, you can read as well what had to be added to this entire lopsided topic to hopefully in a sense right the listing ship for everyone.
What does verse 51 mean?
1 Samuel 17: And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
It should be quite clear what message God was imparting to the faithful in these passages of Holy Scriptures! And of course those who refuse to see God’s Truth or have no faith in Jesus Christ will never see what is plainly said no matter how many times anyone repeats it or in a sense beats this dead horse.
My latter subsequent commentary which the Spirit inspired me to provide should clarify this matter for anyone who is listening to what God Himself told the world all those years ago and is still reiterating through His Spirit as well via humanity’s faithful.
Read I Samuel 17:44-57.
never have in all my years on the planet, have I heard anyone say these things about the Bible. I challenge this person to show me where in the Bible it references or shows pornography. as to the beheading, kids see worse than that on the tv or the actual streets. we need to get back to morality. this world is in the shape it is due to the leftist adoration of all things Satan. this has to stop and stop now. it does reference the destruction of sodom and Gomorrah, due to their homosexual activities. would think those who practice these abominations would sit up and realize they are trading eternity for a mere second of homosexual acts. mental illness is running rampant in this country and so many like the one above are in desperate need of medical treatment.
too old to con; you’re are that someone I just mentioned above that came along and you are precisely correct. Look here how this went down, it was God’s will because I had prepared the long statement I just left in addition to what I had previously said here and somehow inadvertently or perhaps i did click on send and something else happened because I really thought I sent it already and just found out now the message was not here! I leave this all with our Father in heaven. What we call miracles happen all the time but especially nowadays too many people are blinded or deliberately diverted or misdirected and don’t see them. Always remember God has the last say in everything. That is why we MUST trust in the Lord with all of our hearts. I was just told by the Holy Spirit to leave this in closing. I wrote these words a few months ago on my Mother’s memorial anniversary.
Hi mother; always missing you! But you helped me more than either of us could know at the time when just several years before God called you home, when one fine day you prompted me to commit to memory this Scripture!
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
I’m always trying to better my ability to live by these living words of God.
From the bottom of my heart Mother; thank you!
Amen.
Your loving son.
First, too old to con, I’m sorry for the typo; “you are that someone,” is what I was saying up above. Now a while later I’m back with this because what you said got me thinking further and then I know the Holy Spirit directed me to this in the middle of the night.
Just moments after leaving my last comment here I suddenly realized that something too old to con had said in his very important comment was speaking to was exactly a matter that I had written about (the rampant immorality and degeneration going on now) in another news article on the same day and time frame (July 4th) when we were commenting here, which I could see now would help to illustrate what this commentary brought out for people to wake up to.
And here is what I said:
I had to say the following elsewhere just moments ago about this!
Just when people figure things are as bad as they could get we see this insanity! A totally spent loser drug addict is able to have a top security clearance to be privy to “anything and everything” in the top echelon of our government’s inner workings! But the “old original disaster looking for a place to happen,” “quid pro quo Joe” says “C’mon man so what, Hunter is the smartest guy I know!” Yes and between the both of these “stupid bastards” with the “loony” Dr. J “ill” they can “blow the world up to Kingdom Come now, if they can’t have their way!” She won’t give up being in the White House in her “delusion of grandeur” and the two meatheads won’t give up the “Nuclear Football” now; they love POWER so much, it’s all they worship (Satan’s Own)!
Catherine; thank you! And I want to say I’m only now speaking out after biting my own tongue for many months to hold back on some of the things I really wanted to say but felt as a Christian I would do better to show more reserve and maintain a modest candor. But now I’m really finding that nearly impossible with “how badly things keep progressively getting by the day” and it’s very “off the wall now” with these latest developments, so I have to pull a few punches and say things like they are or “how it is!”
I agree “these people are the dregs of society” and this is our First Family? No way no how, this would only be possible in HELL and now I see that isn’t too far off; to “literally have hell on earth right in our faces!” Low life maniacs in the White House, forced gender change upon grade school children in some locations with no parental consent, Drag Queen Story Time for the same children with pervert men dressed like demonic looking cretins as the storytellers! (here pertaining to what some argue is not tolerable or appropriate to teach children regarding the Biblical Scriptures being too harsh for children) But pornography, gender transitioning and all things perverted, or outright lack of respect and morals are a good thing according to the Leftist Communist Marxist Progressive Insanely Wicked among us! Marxism is good according to them, even though Karl Marx who worshiped Satan and talked his own two daughters into committing suicide while he along with all of the other Russian leaders of his era when Communism was spawned butchered millions of their own citizens to install this evil political ideology! Just as Chairman Mao in China did when they adopted this evil political ideology and as Pol Pot in Cambodia did the exact same thing stacking the bodies up to the tree tops.
I have to say to all Leftist Loons and Democrat Commies you better ask yourselves again right now if this is what you really bargained for, because there will be “HELL to pay” when it’s “all said and done” and many are “going to the real HELL for eternity,” so it’s time to shit or get off the pot and shut up with all of your madness and evil! “Get your minds, hearts and souls right and change, turn to God and be on the side of righteousness and goodness, for goodness sake!”
RobL; that is a great point about “four truly Great Americans” who stood for good and righteousness as honest brave human beings serving God not evil! And a monument stands as a memorial or proper and fitting testament to them upon the face of Mount Rushmore.
There is so much that they would be completely disgusted with and wouldn’t be willing to tolerate that we have going on in America let alone in the White House!
This is so degenerated and vile now; I know they would agree with me that Hell on Earth is not too far off on the horizon “if this isn’t Stopped!”
Doris; amazing isn’t it.
Maybe they figure with all of his wheeling and dealing in China or the Ukraine he has some useful experience to offer in such high level matters. Problem is with Hunter being a crack-head and regular customer of prostitutes wouldn’t that make him a bit compromised or compromising individual as a reliable and appropriate agent in High Level State Department matters of the utmost security?
And this same administration picked and still does pick bones since day one about Trump being involved in colluding with Russia and other potential enemies and heads of State!
Hey if this really gets to fly maybe the crack-head and his “Quid Pro Quo” dad can fight over the “Nuclear Football” some night when they are both spaced out on crack, or “Cadaver Joe” is in a deep sun-downer episode; both out of touch with reality and morality (God)! One hell of a Gooberment they got going these Democrat Marxists!
Cheyenne I know how you feel! I used to think that often times, but now I know we haven’t reached the bottom yet not by a long shot! Sadly we here in America and nations around the globe are literally on the precipice, and I got fairly convinced of that with the whole Plandemic and observing “the evil that reared its ugly head” during it; (akin to what was happening in Hitler’s Nazi Germany of WWII, the same diabolical force arising) that was a sure proof of what evil is heading at this human race as fast as it can, which would already be exponentially worse if not held back and not allowed by God! But I do know absolutely that God is in control always, and He is allowing what He will as “His plan unfolds!”
Matthew 24:21-23 “For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short. 23At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.”
Keep the faith and hang in there we’re going to make it, we must trust in Him, not this crooked world’s ways.
In April 1777, less than a year after the first Independence Day, John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail: “Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.”
Many to perhaps most citizens today “are so deluded and have no grip on reality” or what they have had and are losing due to their careless and spoiled rotten punk attitudes! Most have “never really suffered for Freedom” and the great benefits they enjoy in such a society; but they sure as hell will miss it when they lose it all! What’s the old adage, “you don’t realize what you have until you lose it.”
That’s all so true and the big difference here is that Hunter is an absolute real felon many times over for all of his nefarious dealings here and abroad, were as Trump’s felony conviction is an absolute partisan rigged make believe charge and conviction!
Please people, wake up now!
God bless you.

I say the Bible does not teach anything. Any teaching is interpted by the reader. lIke reading a histery book you make your own interoptation of what you read. You go to school the books do not teach the teacher teaches. And this is my opinion and just who can say I am right or wrong or you are right or wrong. I can say in my opinion as you can say in your opinion. When other peoples opinions are wrong because they are not what you think then you are like the communists or dictators.
The Bible is a book an inanimate object that does nothing but exist, but it’s the words in that book which contain absolute truth and the intent of our creator who actually spoke to the prophets of old directly and of course Jesus Christ who is one with the Father in heaven along with the Holy Spirit, all separate individual parts of the whole, the Holy Trinity, which is our Creator the Alpha and the Omega! His words to us which we must actively engage ourselves with to grow in understanding as a guide I say, is to be coupled with actually engaging with the Holy Spirit of God which Jesus made perfectly clear is necessary to know the Father our God, which is a step in the right direction to learn those words, in order to discern as God asks us to do, and this will enlighten us, but it is the Holy Spirit who teaches all things, “only when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord, Savior and Redeemer” just as Jesus Himself promised; I say make Him your dearest and closest friend and family member, to truly love Him is to know God!
Many people say they do accept and believe and that they mean it but they do not, so that is going nowhere fast because we are talking about the all-knowing God Almighty so nobody pulls the wool over His eyes, people like that live a deluded life only fooling themselves, and our sick troubled lost world is loaded with such people, good at “giving lip service!” The following Scriptures do explain much more fully what I’m driving at and the hope is that anyone who has love in their heart for Jesus will read and discern, so that they are brought closer to God and will far exceed our mere fallen-broken-sinful mortal earthly nature and ability to know God, in order to more comprehensively and truly appreciate the things of His realm in eternity and perfection!
Before I place the Scriptures here for your review I think this will help to see that a most brilliant man Albert Einstein who wasn’t a preacher or professing to be the best of the best when it comes to what I’m talking about here, but when he said the following words in a short paragraph back in 1954 I know he was understanding and appreciating this connection to the Holy Spirit I speak of now! I see that the Holy Spirit told him something important to convey to the world.
“The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms – this knowledge, this feeling is at the centre of true religiousness.”
-Albert Einstein – “The Merging of Spirit and Science”
This man the father of physics had said a few great one liners but two that stand out are these. He referred to God as the “Old One.” He speaking to other physicists was known to have said during a discussion about the Big Bang Theory in which one scientist said that with enough random events occurring in this pre-millisecond before it happened eureka the right combination occurred; Einstein just plainly said; “God doesn’t play dice.”
If this helps and you like this added deep understanding presented by such a person as Einstein then either read the books or watch the YouTube videos by astrophysicist and Christian defender Hugh Ross who gets it very well and explains so much; for anyone to get a handle on God’s truth if they want it. That to me this is the key; that we must want to love our God who gave us this vast and beautiful opportunity.
Now the Scriptures:
John 14:
Contemporary English Version
Jesus Is the Way to the Father
“1Jesus said to his disciples, “Don’t be worried! Have faith in God and have faith in me. 2There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I wouldn’t tell you this, unless it was true. I am going there to prepare a place for each of you. 3After I have done this, I will come back and take you with me. Then we will be together. 4You know the way to where I am going.”
5Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t even know where you are going! How can we know the way?”
6 “I am the way, the truth, and the life!” Jesus answered. “Without me, no one can go to the Father. 7If you had really known me, you would have known the Father. But from now on, you do know him, and you have seen him.”
8Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father. That is all we need.”
9Jesus replied:
“Philip, I have been with you for a long time. Don’t you know who I am? If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. How can you ask me to show you the Father? 10Don’t you believe that I am one with the Father and that the Father is one with me? What I say isn’t said on my own. The Father who lives in me does these things.”
“11Have faith in me when I say that the Father is one with me and that I am one with the Father. Or else have faith in me simply because of the things I do. 12I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father. 13Ask me, and I will do whatever you ask. This way the Son will bring honor to the Father. 14I will do whatever you ask me to do.”
The Holy Spirit Is Promised
“15 Jesus said to his disciples: If you love me, you will do as I command. 16Then I will ask the Father to send you the Holy Spirit who will help+ you and always be with you. 17The Spirit will show you what is true. The people of this world cannot accept the Spirit, because they don’t see or know him. But you know the Spirit, who is with you and will keep on living in you.”
“18I won’t leave you like orphans. I will come back to you. 19In a little while the people of this world won’t be able to see me, but you will see me. And because I live, you will live. 20Then you will know I am one with the Father. You will know you are one with me, and I am one with you. 21 If you love me, you will do what I have said, and my Father will love you. I will also love you and show you what I am like.”
“22The other Judas, not Judas Iscariot,+ then spoke up and asked, “Lord, what do you mean by saying that you will show us what you are like, but you will not show the people of this world?”
“23Jesus replied: If anyone loves me, they will obey me. Then my Father will love them, and we will come to them and live in them. 24But anyone who doesn’t love me, won’t obey me. What they have heard me say doesn’t really come from me, but from the Father who sent me.”
“25I have told you these things while I am still with you. 26But the Holy Spirit will come and help+ you, because the Father will send the Spirit to take my place. The Spirit will teach you everything and will remind you of what I said while I was with you.”
“27I give you peace, the kind of peace only I can give. It isn’t like the peace this world can give. So don’t be worried or afraid.”
“28You have already heard me say I am going and I will also come back to you. If you really love me, you should be glad I am going back to the Father, because he is greater than I am.”
“29I am telling you this before I leave, so when it does happen, you will have faith in me. 30I cannot speak with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. But he has no power over me. 31I obey my Father, so everyone in the world might know that I love him.”
God bless you.

For one thing the Bible does not teach anything. All the books in all schools in all the world do not teach anything. There are only two teachers, One is the people who have a job to teach and the other is the person that teaches themselves, Just like guns, You can lay both of them on the table for the rest of your life and the gun will never kill anyone and the book will never teach anyone unless a person picks them up.
Roger Moen; quite well stated, the books are books we are God’s children and we must do the seeking and learning; being careful to learn via the “Holy Spirit” who works within us as we go on our quest. He is the best and only ultimate teacher as Scriptures state. I hope you will have a chance to read the long comment I left here today.
Amen.
God bless you and yours.

Yes, I wait with bated breath everyday for CNN to speak…AAAAHHHhhahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Drosack; yes I agree they are so ridiculously lost in the minutia of false rhetoric they’ve created over the years! Perhaps we can say like a cat chasing its own tail now; or perhaps they’ve entered some type of Pandora’s Box, truly hopelessly lost.
What people will do for money and power or fame, so sad!
God bless you and yours.

Unbelievers should never try to explain or condemn the God of the Bible. They don’t have the ability or capacity to understand that which is spiritually understood by believers only. Unbelievers can only read the Bible like any other academic book without inspiration. Believers in carnality are doing the same thing.
1 Corinthians 2:13-16 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
14But the soulish person receives not the things of the Spirit of God (revelation of the gospel) they are foolish to them; neither do they know them for they are learned through the Holy Spirit
15But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.
16For WHO HAS KNOWN THE THINKING OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the thinking of Christ.
Mary S Allen; you are absolutely correct and I’m adding that sadly today in this high-tech, ego-gloating, mesmerizing materialistic “culture of death” world, that there are far more of these “unbelievers;” we are in the “Great Apostasy.” And why else were so many multitudes tricked to take the jabs by the monstrous lie and the liars saying “trust the science!” The voice of our “Creator and Lord Jesus Christ” was not being heard speaking to them and some even chose or actually preferred to follow the crowd or mob, than listen to the “Holy Spirit” speaking to them in their hearts.
Ephesians 6:11-13 BLB “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.”
These are fierce and such dangerous times when “temptations and trickery” is overriding everything it can, even “common sense” or one’s “conscience” that is built-in, as the Devil is roaming the earth to seek any and all he can devour before he meets his final moment of truth, when “God will judge the world once and for all time!”
God bless you and yours.
