Won't Play

In the Clint Eastwood movie The Eiger Sanction, the man who plays "Dragon" (who is a CIA/NSA-type administrator and covert boss over the well-paid hit-man agent "Hemlock" played by Clint Eastwood), Hemlock has to get his orders for each new assignment at a special headquarters of dim-lit secrecy because - as Dragon puts it: "Even the slightest bit of light causes me intense pain."

That handicap is similar to what yours truly is beset with, as are (perhaps to lesser degrees of severity) other genuine Christians who intend to reserve their eyesight for purity required by their Lord. I cannot play (or, better put: will not play) as nor with so-called "normal" pervert americans with those purportedly "normal" but actually abnormal and deviate persons roaming around the neighborhoods and suburban "cities" or townships mis-dressed with warm-weather-excuse mopheadedness, naked-armed sleeveslessness, nude-legged slackslessness, and soxless bare feet in sandals or flipflops.

Ever since the very early 1900s, when the rather decent attire of chignon hairstyles or single back-of-head ponytails, long sleeved tops, long-and-not-shortened slacks or dresses, and boots was replaced more and more by what is now flagrantly exhibited in 2013 and has been so flaunted for some time, no man could - with relaxed confidence - be assured that his vision would not be sexually harassed and terroristically assaulted by random and various hit-and-miss impositions (frequently anonymous) of non-arrested female humans freely roaming around wherever as cutesy-semi-embarrassed showgirls in walking/jogging/biking-pornographic immodesty.

There are currently governments and law-enforcement authorities in some parts of the world and in some countries on planet Earth who generally do not allow such licentuously lascivious female-human exhibitionism. Even the slightest momentarily infractions against strict general-public modesty are quickly punished with arrest, fines, and/or imprisonment and (when necessary) even lethally. Should I suggest Iran, Saudi Arabia, and so on for starters?

So, getting back to my forced marginalization and reluctant-but-necessity withdrawal and isolation away from the warm-weather group athletic and sports activities I would very much like to participate and engage in, the following Scripture verses clearly reveal who is the cause and who are to blame for the disassociation lamentably in effect during seasonal warm-weather days of late spring, summer, and early autumn:

Proverbs 13:20 (paraphrased) He who walks with modestly-attired-women during warm weather stays pure, but the companion of body-parts-flaunting floozies will suffer harm.

Proverbs 17:12 (paraphrased) Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs, rather than an immodesty-flaunting fool in her disgustingly-misattired folly.

Ezekiel 16:36 Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because your shame was laid bare and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotries with your lovers, and because of all your idols, and because of the blood of your children that you gave to them,
37 therefore, hey, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and all those you loathed; I will gather them against you from every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 And I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed [abortion-homicide?] blood are judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 And I will give you into the hand of your lovers, and they shall throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your lofty places; they shall strip you of your clothes and take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
40 They shall bring up a host against you, and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.

First Corinthians 3:1 (paraphrased) But I, sisters, could not address you as spiritual ladies, but as wenches and bitches of the immodest-exhibitionism flesh, as non-approachable/defiling-to-observe babes in Christ - if in Christ at all.

Jude 1:19 (paraphrased) It is these warm-weather immodest female humans who set up divisions, selfishly-wanting-to-get-attention-by-lewdly-displaying-should-be-covered-body-parts worldly people, devoid of the Spirit of decent-dressed purity.

Now, what can be done about all this?

I really do want to play tennis, bike, walk along the roadside paths and in the parks, play croquet, badminton, volleyball, do sightseeing from a boat, fish, fly a kite, watch a baseball or soccer game, see parades, and a whole host of other things during warm weather . . . without my eyesight been impolitely, rudely, and devastatingly assaulted terroristically by one or more girls or women whether ignorantly or deliberately sheepishly or arrogantly imposing themselves into my view being misattired in some sort or sorts of warm-weather immodesty of the types previous mentioned, who (by definition and default) are disregarding or woefully non-enlightened regarding the following obvious-internal-inferences Scripture in the Bible translations indicated:

Numbers 5:18 (RSV & NASV) And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and unbind the hair of the woman's head, and place in her hands the cereal offering of remembrance, which is the cereal offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.

Second Samuel 13:18 (RSV & NASV) Now she was wearing a long robe with long sleeves; for thus were the virgin daughters of the king traditionally clothed. So his servant put her out, and bolted the door after her.

Proverbs 5:15 Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.
16 Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets [or gutter]?
17 Let them be for yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth,
19 a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight, be infatuated always with her love.

Song of Solomon 2:15 (paraphrased) Catch us the [warm-weather immodest-exhibitionist] foxes, the f##king-idiot little foxes [imposing mopheadedness/sleeveslessness/slackslessness/soxlessness] who spoil the [spouse-sex-fucking-only already-married-thus-reserved-bodies] vineyards [then after catching them, assault-then-abuse-then-stab, hang by a noose, or shoot them dead], for our [matured virgin-bodied] vineyards are in [sexually-responsive-and-arousable] blossom.

Admittedly, and realistically, correctly-translated Bible verses must be understood rightly and taken in context.

For instance, the following could easily be said to be "lacking:"

Philippians 4:8 (paraphrased?) Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, as for example a significant amount of the other contents in the entire Holy Bible, such as sordid records of greed, dishonesty, lying, indecent exposure, incest, blasphemy, rape, murder, think about these things.

Colossians 3:2 (paraphrased?) Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth when you are driving, such as red stoplights at dangerous intersections.

Titus 1:15 (paraphrased?) To the pure all things are pure, as for example a significant amount of the other contents in the entire Holy Bible, such as sordid records of greed, dishonesty, lying, indecent exposure, incest, blasphemy, rape, murder, but to the corrupt and non-believing nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are corrupted.

Song of Solomon 7:1 (RSV & NASV & others) How graceful are your footsteps in sandals, royal maiden! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
2 Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
3 Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, overlooking Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks [loose long hair] are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.
6 How fair and pleasant you are, loved one, delectable maiden!
7 You are stately as a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.
8 I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its branches. Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples,
9 and your kisses like the best wine that goes down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth of sleepers.
10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.

Isaiah 47:1 Come down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans! For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Take the millstones and grind meal, put off your veil, strip off your robe, uncover your legs, pass through the rivers.
3 Your nakedness shall be uncovered, and your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and I will spare no [man].
4 Our Redeemer, the LORD of hosts is His name: the Holy One of Israel.

Jeremiah 2:25 Keep your [bare] feet from going unshod [without even socks on?] and your throat from thirst. But you said, 'It is hopeless, for I have [adulterously] loved strangers, and after them I will go.'

Romans 14:15 If your brother is being injured by what [how you are misattired?], you are no longer walking in love. Do not let what you [wear, or your mopheaded hairstyle?] cause the ruin of one for whom Christ died.

First Corinthians 12:23 . . . and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we invest with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,
24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part,
25 that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.

First Timothy 2:8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling;
9 also that women should adorn themselves modestly and sensibly in decent apparel, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing
10 but by good works, as befits women who profess religion.
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.
12 I allow no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
15 Yet woman will be saved through bearing children, if she continues in faith and love and holiness, with sobriety.

The above-mentioned precious tidbits of Biblical education should be repeatedly taught in all public and private schools throughout the United States during the school year, with non-objectioned-to cops-and-courts-enforced impunity.

Must cultic allah-and-koran fundamentalist islam who are always very modestly dressed in burkas and hijabs [though deplorably sometimes without socks under their sandals] shame semi-indecently-exposed American girls and women?

IS the administration justified in giving foreign aid to antisemitic muslims overseas who happen to be consistently dressed modestly during warm weather -- in stark and sharp contrast to hideously and shamefully exposed american girls and women?

Ezekiel 16:27 Hey, therefore, I stretched out my hand against you, and diminished your allotted portion, and delivered you to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.
Ezekiel 16:57 . . . Now you have become like her an object of reproach for the daughters of Edom and all her neighbors, and for the daughters of the Philistines, those round about who despise you.

I suppose that it is possible, in our nation of free speech and freedom of religion, for those of decent and pure mind to group together into private exclusionary clubs for athletics and sports activities where security guards stringently require and enforce entry plus on-the-premises dress codes with severe financial and physical-punishment penalties including permanent expulsion against any and all even-momentary partially-immodest violatoresses.

Until that happens, non-healthy anemic-skin-colored I, and those near-albino pure-intentioned like me, must stay cloistered in seclusion . . . patiently waiting for more-disappointment stay-indoors confinement because of frigid weather temporarily forcing want-to-always-be-immodest aberrants to dress up to avoid fatal frostbite.

Isaiah 16:3 Give counsel, grant justice; make your shade like night at the height of noon; hide the outcasts, betray not the fugitive
Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past.

One of the typical characteristics of fake "christians" is that they like to say:

"You can't believe everything you read on the internet" - and what they are insinuating by that is: "You can't believe anything you read on the internet."

They say that when they are confronted with what in fact is true on the internet, and want you to not trust nor believe it.

They themselves do not believe what happens to be certain valid and trustworthy information from humans, because they do not even trust God.

They might not even believe that the speed limit 30 actually means 30 mph if it weren't for squad-car cops doing surveillance on them.

But "belief" is not enough. Pseudo-"christians" can preach also as if they belong to what they declare.

Second Corinthians 11:12 And what I do I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
13 For such humans are false apostles, deceitful work[men], disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
15 So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.

James 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe . . . and shudder.

We Christians can discern and figure out with our physical and spiritual resources what is truthful in contrast to what is not truthful.

Luke 1:1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things which have been accomplished among us,
2 just as they were delivered to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word,
3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus,
4 that you may know the truth regarding (and not "concerning") the things of which you have been informed.

Second Peter 1:16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

For us open-minded non-bigoted-nor-prejudiced scientists, who empirically and deductively experiment and test with carefully-measured observation and accurate recording whatever we can however we can:

First John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, regarding the word of life
1:3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son as the Savior of the world.

Thus, the Holy-Spirit-inspired apostolic writer petitions and warns:

Second Thessalonians 3:2 . . . and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil humans; for not all have faith.

Such wicked cannot-trust-any-web-info damnable are therefore dangerous questioners who needlessly and demonically cause doubt:

Mt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
16 You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17 So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit.
18 A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
20 Thus you will know them by their fruits.
21 Not every one who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers.'

The doubt imposers will not regard anything said by God's sometimes-fallible human saints as valid, unlike St Paul:

Second Corinthians 7:16 I rejoice, because I have perfect confidence in you.

That is reaffirmed by other Scripture:

Exodus 18:21 Moreover choose able men from all the people, such as fear God, men who are trustworthy and who hate a bribe; and place such men over the people as rulers of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens.

Psalm 111:7 The works of His hands are faithful and just; all His precepts are trustworthy

First Corinthians 7:25 Now regarding (not "concerning") virgins, I have no command of the Lord, but I give my opinion as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy.

Second Timothy 2:2 . . . and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

Revelation 21:5 And He who sat upon the throne said, "Hey, I make all things new." Also He said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Revelation 22:6 And He said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent His angel to show His servants what must soon take place."

No lies nor deception are involved:

First Samuel 15:29 And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or repent; for He is not a man, that He should repent."

Job 6:28 But now, be pleased to look at me; for I will not lie to your face.

Psalm 89:35 Once for all I have sworn by my holiness; I will not lie to David.

Habakkuk 2:3 For still the vision awaits its time; it hastens to the end -- it will not lie. If it seem slow, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay.

Malachi 3:6 For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

That is totally different, in context, than what Satan tried to convey to Eve in The Garden:

Genesis 2:17 [God said:] but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die."
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden'?"
3:3 [Eve replied:] but God said, 'You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

That does not mean that we genuine Christians should not test those who purport to be Christians (like Obama - among many others - purports or is purported to be):

First John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

But we must beware of such fakes:

Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their deeds; they are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good deed.

Why?

First Timothy 6:3 If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness,
4 [he/she] is puffed up with conceit, [he] knows nothing; [he] has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,
5 and wrangling among humans who are depraved in mind and bereft of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of [ambitious/political/monetary?] gain.

They do that because they fear men instead of God, and try to please men instead of God:

Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man lays a snare, but he who trusts in the LORD is safe.

Ephesians 6:5 Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;
Ephesians 6:6 not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart

Colossians 3:22 Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord.

First John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If any one loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

Another characteristic of pseudo-"christians" is that they allege that the New Testament bespeaks of nothing but love. Love, love, love - and never any negativism nor hate.

They have difficulty accepting what the New Testament really states:

Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Matthew 23:17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred?
Matthew 23:33 You serpents, you brood of vipers [i.e. bunch of snakes], how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?

Luke 3:7 He said therefore to the crowds who came out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?

John 2:15 And making a whip of cords, He drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and He poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.

First Corinthians 5:11 But I now have written to you not to keep company with any man (or woman) who is called a brother (or sister) if he (or she) is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. With such a one you are not even to eat.

First Corinthians 16:22 If any one has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!

Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we preached to you, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again, If any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.

Second John 1:6 And this is love, that we follow his commandments; this is the commandment, as you have heard from the beginning, that you follow love.
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, men who will not acknowledge the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh; such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.
9 Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.
10 If any one comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into the house or give him any greeting;
11 for he who greets him shares his wicked work.

Clearly, all the New Testament verses above speak of love, don't they? And does the Sun rise in the west every morning?

Why fake "christians" want to promote love love love and "freedom" is to attempt to get those who hear that to inclusively accept lies, wickedness and heresy - including their own.

Romans 6:16 Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed,
18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.
20 When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.
22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life.

First Corinthians 7:23 You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

First Corinthians 12:13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body: Jews or Greeks, slaves or free -- and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

Second Corinthians 11:20 For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you, or preys upon you, or takes advantage of you, or puts on airs, or strikes you in the face.
21 To my shame, I must say, we were too weak for that! But whatever any one dares to boast of--I am speaking as a fool -- I also dare to boast of that.
22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
23 Are they servants of Christ? I am a better one -- I am talking like a madman -- with far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death.

Galatians 4:3 So with us; when we were children, we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe.
Galatians 4:9 but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?

Titus 3:3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by men and hating one another

First Peter 2:16 Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God.

Second Peter 2:19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption; for whatever overcomes a man, to that he is enslaved.

It behooves the Lord's authentic saints to determine who and who are not bonafide Christians:

Jeremiah 29:8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams which they dream,
Jeremiah 29:9 for it is a lie which they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, says the LORD.

Some of the finest acts of forgiving love (or is it rather "hate?") integrated with righteous vengeance and holy retribution are indicated by the following seven verses:

First Samuel 15:33 And Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
First Samuel 17:51 Then David ran and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
Psalm 137:9 Happy shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock!
Matthew 5:39 But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Luke 6:27 But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.
Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish.

Luke 13:23 And some one said to him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" And He said to them,
24 "Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
25 When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, 'I do not know where you come from.'
26 Then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.'
27 But he will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you come from; go away from me, all you workers of wickedness!'
28 There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out."

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever,
John 14:17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because they neither see Him nor know Him; you know Him, for He resides with you, and will be in you.

John 15:26 But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness to me;
John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into ALL the truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come.

Romans 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,
Romans 9:7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named."
Romans 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?"

First Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be enslaved by anything [whether doing drugs, smoking, drinking alcohol, dressing immodestly in warm weather, consequentially searching for and lusting at porn, etc.].

Some presume that the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve committed incest with one another to propagate their species. They fail to realize that the sons and daughters of our ancestral parents had children, and then those children had children, and - in view of the long lifespans of people back then, was it sinful to marry and reproduce with their great great great cousins?

Some presume that the incestuous daughters of Lot should have been struck dead on the spot for committing incest with their father. But who was the policeman or judge around to execute anyone there in the cave? Incest was and is never moral, neither was David moral who committed adultery with murdered-Uriah's wife menstrual-blood-cleansing Bathsheba, but God compensated in mercy for the penitent, but there were and are consequences for immoral misbehavior even before Moses wrote the Law of the Torah.

Consider what God said to Cain who had murdered his brother Abel out of envy. The Law had not been written yet, but God held Cain responsible with a curse nevertheless, as He held Tamar responsible for committing fornication with her father-in-law, from which reproduction came the genetic line of Jesus Christ.

Second Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Second Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition

First John 2:20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know everything.
2:26 I write this to you about those who would deceive you;
3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous.
4:6 We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
