Be Not Affraid Lyrics
Filed in The Category - Gospel Lyrics
You shall cross the barren desert,
but you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety,
though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words in foreign lands,
and all will understand,
You shall see the face of God and live.
Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.
If you pass through raging waters
in the sea, you shall not drown.
If you walk amidst the burning flames,
you shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow’r of hell
and death is at your side,
know that I am with you, through it all
Be not afraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.
Blessed are your poor,
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
for one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you, all because of Me,
blessed, blessed are you!
Be not affraid,
I go before you always,
Come follow Me,
and I shall give you rest.

THE ORIGIN OF THE BIBLE.
A few wandering families — poor, wretched, without education, art or power; descendants of those who had been enslaved for four hundred years; ignorant as the inhabitants of Central Africa, had just escaped from their masters to the desert of Sinai. Their leader was Moses, a man who had been raised in the family of Pharaoh and had been taught the law and mythology of Egypt. For the purpose of controlling his followers he pretended that he was instructed and assisted by Jehovah, the God of these wanderers.
Everything that happened was attributed to the interference of this God. Moses declared that he met this God face to face; that on Sinai’s top from the hands of this God he had received the tables of stone on which, by the finger of this God, the Ten Commandments had been written, and that, in addition to this, Jehovah had made known the sacrifices and ceremonies that were pleasing to him and the laws by which the people should be governed.
In this way the Jewish religion and the Mosaic Code were established.
It is now claimed that this religion and these laws were and are revealed and established for all mankind.
At that time these wanderers had no commerce with other nations, they had no written language, they could neither read nor write. They had no means by which they could make this revelation known to other nations, and so it remained buried in the jargon of a few ignorant, impoverished and unknown tribes for more than two thousand year’s.
Many centuries after Moses, the leader, was dead many centuries after all his followers had passed away — the Pentateuch was written, the work of many writers, and to give it force and authority it was claimed that Moses was the author.
We now know that the Pentateuch was not written by Moses.
Towns are mentioned that were not in existence when Moses lived.
Money, not coined until centuries after his death, is mentioned.
So, many of the laws were not applicable to wanderers on the desert — laws about agriculture, about the sacrifice of oxen, sheep and doves, about the weaving of cloth, about ornaments of gold and silver, about the cultivation of land, about harvest, about the threshing of grain, about houses and temples, about cities of refuge, and about many other subjects of no possible application to a few starving wanderers over the sands and rocks.
It is now not only admitted by intelligent and honest theologians that Moses was not the author of the Pentateuch, but they all admit that no one knows who the authors were, or who wrote any one of these books, or a chapter or a line. We know that the books were not written in the same generation; that they were not all written by one person; that they are filled with mistakes and contradictions. It is also admitted that Joshua did not write the book that bears his name, because it refers to events that did not happen until long after his death.
No one knows, or pretends to know, the author of Judges; all we know is that it was written centuries after all the judges had ceased to exist. No one knows the author of Ruth, nor of First and Second Samuel; all we know is that Samuel did not write the books that bear his name. In the 25th chapter of First Samuel is an account of the raising of Samuel by the Witch of Endor.
No one knows the author of First and Second Kings or First and Second Chronicles; all we know is that these books are of no value.
We know that the Psalms were not written by David. In the Psalms the Captivity is spoken of, and that did not happen until about five hundred years after David slept with his fathers.
We know that Solomon did not write the Proverbs or the Song; that Isaiah was not the author of the book that bears his name; that no one knows the author of Job, Ecclesiastes, or Esther, or of any book in the Old Testament, with the exception of Ezra.
We know that God is not mentioned or in any way referred to in the book of Esther. We know, too, that the book is cruel, absurd and impossible.
God is not mentioned in the Song of Solomon, the best book in the Old Testament.
And we know that Ecclesiastes was written by an unbeliever.
We know, too, that the Jews themselves had not decided as to what books were inspired — were authentic — until the second century after Christ.
Well that about wraps that myth up ,not much point in arguing about it now unless of course you are missing several parts of the essential organs in man/
Bought an old stack of prayer books, mostly pre Vatican 2…..questions?
Filed in The Category - Psalms Book Five
I know I asked earlier but I wanted more thoughts
I went to an Estate sale where the children of a deceased person sells off their belongings to pay off debt and found thes BEAUTIFUL prayer books.
In the back of a old Saint Joseph Daily Missal I can across a section on the rosary
it says
Indulgences for saying the Rosary
a) Those who reverently recite five decades of the Rosary may gain an indulgence of 5 years
b) Those who reverently recite five decades of the Rosary in unison with others publicly or privately may gain an indulgence of 10 years, once a day.
and it goes on
what does Indulgences mean? or a plenary indulgence?
and why in a New Testiment Psalms and Proverbs book would it be printed on the opening cover THIS BOOK NOT TO BE SOLD yet there is no copywrite page or year printed, or even the name of an organization that had once distributed it? No pages have been removed, the binding is in great condition (rarely if ever used)
and not that Im planning on selling the books because I bought them for my own religious collection, but do you think are they worth anything? Some are inlaid leather stamp covers, some are illustrated with old press print quality.

To believers of New Testament and not Old Testament – question w/example regarding OT validity?
Filed in The Category - Psalms Book Five
I have heard many in R&S say that the Old Testament is not as reliable as the New Testament…to those who think this…what about how Jesus quoted from the Old Testament?
In John 6:25-59 Jesus says that it wasn’t Moses who gave the bread in the desert but God who did so, then He goes on to say that everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him will be brought to Him (Jesus), then he goes on to say that He is the bread of life…
Moses was given the bread in the desert (some of the Old Testament was written by Moses – see John 5:46), but Jesus says it came from God and not Moses In John 6.
Isn’t the bread another term for Jesus? and John refers to Jesus as the “word” – so then the bread is the Word given to Moses in the desert?
I would interpret this scripture (John 6:25-59) to mean that the Old Testament is about Jesus…and when I read the stories of the Old Testament symbolically they do take on a similar meaning for me. I see similarities with Jonah, Samson, etc….all symbolically seem like what Jesus would go through explained in the New Testament – names and circumstances different but the underlying meaning extremely similar to what happened in the life of Jesus. (ex: Jonah 3 days in the belly of the whale before being spit out (Jesus raised after 3 days), etc. – I could go on and on but only one example here)
In the desert they were given bread from heaven…symbolically they were given Jesus….they were given the Word. In John it says in the begining was the Word and the Word was made flesh (Jesus). Jesus is the Word…the Old Testament symbolically explains Jesus…throughout.
Remember that Moses placed a portion of the manna (Word) in the Ark of the Covenant (Hebrews 9:4)- we know these as the 10 commandments…and the 10 commandments are contained in the Old Testament, Exodus 20. Therefore I take this to mean that the Old Testament given to Moses in the desert came from God….in John 5:46 Jesus clearly says that Moses wrote of him. Therefore, the Torah (the five books of Moses), Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are of God, Jesus said so in John 6. We also know that Jesus quoted Psalm, Malachi, Zachariah, and Jeremiah, also books in the Old Testament.
Does anyone else see that the Old Testament is validated in the New Testament by Jesus in the book of John?
I have seen atheists post on here saying how the OT is horrible and says horrible things, etc. and that God is not a loving God in the OT, when I see some Christians answer they may say that the OT was written by man and not all of it is valid…I disagree with this. I believe that it is valid and so is the NT…I believe that the entire OT spoke of Jesus…just not giving his name and exact circumstances. I believe that the OT should be taken symbolically. I also believe that the Hebrew meanings of names of towns and people should be considered when reading the OT in order to get the full meaning…

I need not only the notes, but the fingerings (meaning, where to place my fingers on the holes of the whistle). Anyone that can help would be appreciated!

The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel, standing where it ought not stand, in the holy place?
Filed in The Category - Psalms Book Five
Daniel mentions the “transgression of abomination” and Paul mentions “where no law, there no transgression”; So it reasons the law is “the abomination of desolation” spoken of by Daniel, who had “night visions” from reading a book, the five books of Moses called the Law.
Standing where it ought not? Psalmist David mentions the LORD said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand in Psalms 110:1. Luke mentioned Stephen saw Jesus “standing” right in Acts 7:55; So this would be a change of the law with a change of priesthood mentioned in Hebrews 7:12, which is still law, not grace, and standing, not seated as Christ: the end of the law is seated right above the law in Colossians 3:1-3.
So it reasons law is the abomination of desolation standing where it not, in the holy place, the place of grace.
What are your thoughts on such things are an “allegory” and a “mystery’ to solve by seek and find?
