If you take the Bible in its entirety, I truly believe that you cannot go wrong. Even if you were not a Christian (or Jew for the Old Testament) the morality that is taught in the Bible could give you a decent way of life to live. In truth, I think that is true of most religions that are not based on a personality cult. Most religions have as their core values a path for living a decent life. I am focusing on the Bible primarily because I know so little about other religious believes, not for any other reason.
But let us face the reality. Have you ever gone to a Church? I am sure you have, even if you are not a regular Church attendee, you have gone. Follow my logic for a moment. No matter how well the person teaching the sermon, no matter how well the logic of his/her premise, no matter how well she/he supports the premise of the sermon with scripture; the reality is that the very fact that the sermon uses selected scripture, it can be taking scripture out of context.
You think I am wrong? If you do, you have not been paying attention if you believe that. Look at history to see that I am correct:
- Scripture has been used to justify slavery – and – to chastise the slave for wanting their freedom.
- Scripture has been used to justify marrying a brother’s widow – and – divorcing said widow by using a contrary scripture.
- Scripture has been used often throughout history to kill our fellow man – and – to condemn that same killing. (Side note: more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason)
- Just recently, scripture has been used to justify horrendous actions against illegal immigrants into America. Weak use of scripture, I will grant you, but never the less it was used.
- There are even contradictory stories of the birth of Christ if you look at scripture. Does that mean that you do not believe HE was born at all?
So just because you can use the Bible to justify your actions is not enough. Not by far. Do not quote scripture. Show me you are using the essence of the Bible, not just a few words.
I truly treasure your piece of work, Great post.

I’m the manager of JustCBD brand (justcbdstore.com) and am aiming to broaden my wholesale side of company. I am hoping someone at targetdomain is able to provide some guidance . I considered that the most effective way to do this would be to connect to vape companies and cbd retailers. I was hoping if anybody could recommend a trusted website where I can get CBD Shops Business Data I am already looking at creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com.
