Psalm 76
 

Psalm 76[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song.

1 God is renowned in Judah;
in Israel his name is great.
2 His tent is in Salem,
his dwelling place in Zion.
3 There he broke the flashing arrows,
the shields and the swords, the weapons of war.[b]
4 You are radiant with light,
more majestic than mountains rich with game.
5 The valiant lie plundered,
they sleep their last sleep;
not one of the warriors
can lift his hands.
6 At your rebuke, God of Jacob,
both horse and chariot lie still.
7 It is you alone who are to be feared.
Who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 From heaven you pronounced judgment,
and the land feared and was quiet—
9 when you, God, rose up to judge,
to save all the afflicted of the land.
10 Surely your wrath against mankind brings you praise,
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.[c]
11 Make vows to the Lord your God and fulfill them;
let all the neighboring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.
12 He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.

face book and google SUCK...

That's the spirit!

wow "pm dawn" that's original

Hmm...wouldn't've figured Mr. "holier than thou" to be a hip-hop kinda guy.

whatever I'm not going to try to defend my views to people who just want to run me through the mud.. and more rnb than hip hop

If you don't wish us to bash your beliefs, then don't constantly post them. That's what we have a problem with, not your actual beliefs. Just don't keep telling us about it. It makes us (or at least, me) feel like you're trying to convert us to your religion.

I could say the same thing about you it's part of my beliefs to express them.. I am an artist that's what real artist do... your ignorance in saying that I should not post them so that way you will not bash me is like a cop saying to me "if you do the right thing I will arrest you".. I am posting on an open forum with high public access so the people can have the liberty of choosing to trust or not to trust... if you don't like it don't read it...

I think it's safe to say that most here don't have a problem with JBK posting his beliefs. The vast majority don't feel compelled to 'bash' him or his beliefs. Some of us challenge him now and then, but he gets the same respect as do you.

JBK should keep posting what he believes, what he thinks ... he gives us food for thought many times, and he always stimulates thought and discussion. If I had the same challenges, I don't know that I'd be an inspiration to anyone. Live and let live.

John, you are probably not aware that JB is a functionally independent but struggling schizophrenic. His religious discussions may be about conversion on the surface, but really they're about him figuring out his inner demons. It's cool, just let him do his thing.

that's such a hypocritical statement clod... your diagnosing me with skitzo religious preocps but at the same time your saying I have demons.. anyone in the psyce world would not call them demons more like gargoyles..

"Inner demons" is an expression, JB. I attend a Christian church myself, but I believe there are no such things as literal demons. It is not the religion that makes you seem schizophrenic, it is the schizophrenia that alters your views on religion. You can believe in God without believing in the hallucinations.

yes to that... amen

'Gargoyles' are fine. Never mind the rest. Live and let live, JBK.

KK.

I wuz not.

That's ironic since the gargoyles of myth are supposed to ward off evil, and protect you while you sleep.

Interesting interpretation.

well.. it's not like I have intense nightmares.. it was only when they first began that I was scared.. but now that I'm used to it.. it's just weird..

Do you have nightmares a lot? and if I may ask,,,about what?

People talk to me in my dreams like we are talking right now and we have rather dismayed conversation only because I am pissed that they are invade ding my dreams.. sometimes it's like God sometimes it's like angels sometimes it's like preachers sometimes it's like politicians sometimes it's like military service men sometimes it's like visons of crazy stuff sometimes it's just plain weird...

Hmm. Doesn't seem particularly nightmarish. Seems to me like you're trying to tell them to get out of your dream. Maybe you're trying to take control of your dream (lucid dreaming). Do you ever succeed at telling the invaders to leave your dreamscape?

yes I have almost full automated control over my dreams... it's just that I never know what to expect

'Gargoyles' are fine. Never mind the rest. Live and let live, JBK.

I agree Live and Let Live

Well, I'm more like Mr. William Bruce Rose, Jr.,,,"Live And Let Die", ya know. :devil: ;)

some times you just have to go against the grain an do s'omething d'ifferent...

Make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song

Holy Trinity)))
You are the center of Gravity)))
Holy Trinity)))
You are the center of Gravity)))
Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity
It's Not too Hard to see,
You are alive an well,
You Break the spell,
You Break the curse,
I put you first above the law,
Now tell me know if you can't relate,
There's a conversation going on that's a bit too late,
Some call it destiny some call it fate,
But the truth got drowned out by all the hate,
Holy Trinity)))
You are the center of Gravity)))
Holy Trinity)))
Holy Trinity)))
Holy Trinity)))
You are alive and well,
You Break the spell,
You Break the curse,
I put you first like lighting in my head,
I fear you when your angry,
I study what you've said,
And If I have to live a life without you,
I'd rather be dead,
So tell me know who do you choose,
The Holy Trinity or the One who's going to loose,
The Trinity is God and Life the Looser is Satan and Death,
Though the Battal isn't over I think we already Know the rest,
Focus of The Trinity and I think you'll get some rest,
Dream a Dream of Truth Devine,
Sing a song of an endless rhyme,
Tell a tale of love and hate,
That turns the tables on slated fate,
Holy Trinity)))
Holy Trinity)))
Holy Trinity)))


The Curse is Broken

I have my own "inner demons" that I'm not ashamed to admit. I try to deal with them the best I can. As far as real demons go, if you believe in Angels then you must believe in Demons. Demons are nothing but the Angels cast out of Heaven

I acknowledge the the existence of demons I just don't believe them.. angels yes I "believe" in them....

I understand what you mean

John 9:35-41
New International Version (NIV)
Spiritual Blindness

35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”

37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”

38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.

39 Jesus said,[a] “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.”

40 Some Pharisees who were with him heard him say this and asked, “What? Are we blind too?”

41 Jesus said, “If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.

Not to be confused with Spirituous Blindness which can make other people look more attractive to you.

is that like when you get drunk..

For someone who goes around turning water into wine, it's an occupational hazard.

everybody has there own beauty about them it's just a matter of finding
it.. a guy like Jesus just happens to see past all the bull crap and can pen
point the inner beauty in everyone...

It's Simon Peter Time Come ON.

Is that a euphemism for wanking? You might want to tag that sort of post NSFW

the information is not processing... I am refering to the scripture that says something to the effect off on this ROCK I build my Church and the Gates of HELL will never prevail against it...

Seriously, Clodfobble. You are the smoothest. That exchange between jb and js was heading for a slap fight. One quick, clear statement, and js was sorted. Then when jb got touchy, you did the same for him. And I do mean FOR. Not TO.

We joke around about how smart your brain is and how sexy it is when you pee in the liquor store. ... but I'm not even fucking around here.

You are an awesome person. I hope my saying it doesn't embarrass you or make you feel pressured to maintain a level of awesome. Cuz you could act like a compete douche for a month, and your coolness quotient would still come up positive on the balance sheet.

You should be in charge of things. I'm glad I kind of know you.

Thanks, Jim.

My pleasure.

yea thank you guys for staying civil....

Go Gators.. and Christina Agywagy
