Before actually reading it for myself.

 

1.) That when people get sick they're aren't supposed to just pray about it.

 

Give doctors the honor they deserve, for the Lord gave them their work to do. 2 Their skill came from the Most High, and kings reward them for it. 3 Their knowledge gives them a position of importance, and powerful people hold them in high regard.

 

Sirach 38:1-3

 

2.) And my personal favorite, UNICORNS!

 

The unicorn is actual the one horned rhinoceros. When I found this out for the first time my jaw dropped. I had no idea that is what the rhinoceros was called at that particular time in history.

 

Linked is an awesome video that explained this for me.

 

 

Don't know why I posted this, just thought it was interesting, and answered some personal questions I had. Can't wait to figure out more in the time to come.

Awesome!

 

Similar to your rhinoceros point, I also believe the idea of dragons came from dinosaurs. Several species of dinosaur, such as velociraptor, actually shot red burning gel at prey. Sounds like a dragon to me.

This is beyond cool and love it when questions are answered such as these. It's neat when that lightbulb comes on. You know, this has been happening a lot in the last two years- questions I didn't even know how to ask were answered, stuff that I've wondered about most of my life.

 

Rock on!

It's right next to the Book of Bozo the Clown.

At first I thought it was like my bible which translates from the Hebrew language to English, but the closest name to that is Shir haShirim, (Song of Songs).

 

My bible uses the Hebrew names of the bible so Bere****h is Genesis in my bible.

 

Yahusha is Jesus and Yahuah is God from what I understand even though it says in Bere****h, 'In the begining Alahim created the shamayim (space) and the arets (earth).

 

So it is confusing at times but after reading how much pagan is in our every day lives, I want to know the true names.

 

For instance Lord actually means Baal in Hebrew.

 

For anyone interested I'm reading The Besorah of Yahusha.

 

 

ETA. I have never seen the filter edit part of a name before, that's weird. After checking I LOLed at the letters that were edited out. That would never had been noticed if it wasn't edited though I do hope that the filter gets smarter in the future. Because a word that has s --- in the middle does not mean it's a swear word.

when i fidn agood doctor i try to keep them for they are few and far between .....the code of responsibility in regards to ethics and doctors i have found to be really quite lacking or i am very unlucky one or the other......script doctors in other words......

 

 

Hippocratic Oath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

i stealth doctors.......i go in adn ask them fr soemthing they should never give me .......if they give it to me...i smile at them and walk away taking my script with me.......

 

i have found one doctor who spent an hour with me when i asked for something i shouldnt, he started writing i shouldnt...when i asked for it he made me feel uncomfortable i knew i met a doctor o fhigh stadning adn alleigence to the oath...he narrowed his eyes and i smile awkwardly....in my mind i am laughing going hahahah busted.......crap got me.......

 

 

he then started writing referrals quite a few.......blood tests....when i refused to stadn on the scales he made me do it...i put up a fght saying no i just ate no i really dotn have to get on teh sales i knwo i am overweight......i woudl rather nto get ont eh scales thankyou i just need the script filled thanks..........with his arms folded he said get ont eh scales please........he was definitely more stubborn with me than any doctor i have ever met.......

 

he said you knwo what yu should do why arent you doing it..tried sadnbagging him misdirection...he sat patiently and resolute........at the end f the conversatin.... I agreed and said yes nutritionist......is what i feel woudl help....i sent my son to him after my son was ignored by another doctor ....h esent him straight to hosptial with an appendicitis ready to erupt.......

 

 

i am so proud to have met him he put me in my place.......lol...ahem ..unfortunately i could not keep him because i moved....i want him back....maybe i should pay the cab fare for all in all...he is worth having as a doctor......the only one i have found in a decade..you have to trust a doctor i find that hard to do....when they dotn really care at all...that one truly did care and he spent time with me on afirst visit and didtn watch t4eh clock while doing so for i am a free patient covered by medicare...... and tripped me up and i have the utmost respect for him....deb

Then you probably aren't Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Episcopalian, or an observant Lutheran.;)

 

Here is a little bit more about Sirach, or the Book of Ecclesiasticus as it's also commonly known: Sirach

 

It's fascinating what is and isn't included in different versions of the Bible, particularly as the Protestant Reformation unfolded. Even some of the more common, widely cited parables were removed (or added depending on the specific Biblical passage) in certain versions of the Gospels.

yes we have been bestowed as gods children to help our fellow man. I do not for one second put my faith in medicine. My faith comes first to God, then from his gifts to man, come some blessings. Some of them are realizing that Doctors are human too and make major mistakes...One being that they are omnipotent, they are not.

 

Read and viewed an article on interpretation of the bible verses the translation from one language to another. It was absolutely eye opening! People seem to pick and choose what fits their platform thereby taking things out of context and its original form of meaning. Be open minded,absorb, and then practice it.

totally agree tayla...children are always open minded as we age we begin to close doors and get entrenched in false doctrine so easily......where our hearts know and feel truth we have closed off feeling truth with all t4eh senes we have been given to experience truth, which is sad really.....so may lost hearts....to touch a lost heart is a gift...and mine was touched so truthfully by hearing a still voices in echo and surround sound by two men i will be ever grateful too......who by the way were children at heart and young not men of the world per say.....but good hearted men .....who said to me ask of god knock and he will answer we cant tell you to believe you have to ask god from yrou heart....i sadly dotn see these men nor do they know they touched my heart or mayeb they do .....god would have let them know....for i cant find the words to express myself although tired valiantly to put pen to paper and found my words not good enough at that time with feeling a rising panic in not letting them know....so before they left i considered handing them my chidlish poems one fro each of them, when started to cry oen of them walked ut rather fast.....and he also led my daughters to the path by baptising.....and i was so blue..........and I hid them in my pocket overwhelmed to say goodbye or follow him out the door...to give them my poetry...ok crying now.....im out........i knew then what they spoke woudl eb only truth......in every good thing that i deserve and am enittled to have in this human experience......deb

 

 

sorry abotu the dyslexia ill try and fix it but i was upset so it is more pronounced...i am upset that they dditn hear it from em in a fashion that they shoudl have known......debv
