Todays real reading! "And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil. 20 "For everyone who does evil hates the light, and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 "But he who practices the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."(John 3:19-21) Your out of context quoting of Scripture is not fooling anyone but yourself. Try to have a good day anyway. Greg

Daily Bible Reading --Sept. 1/2000 Have you ever seen flocks of sheep being herded by a kind shephard? Sheep are very wooly, and they can give us their wool to make soft clothing that is very warm. They are very useful. God liked them for another reason, though. God likes the way they smell when they have been killed and burnt. He tells this to his special people in the bible. King Solomon was a great King in the bible. He knew what pleased God. One year he made a great feast. He sacrificed one animal every 4 seconds for seven straight days. Can you imagine how busy his slaves were! This was the biggest sacrice in all of history, even to this day! Can you imagine how delighted God must have been to smell all those dead sheep and oxen burning. God is kind to animals because He likes them just as you do. God will not torture the animals for eternity. Once you kill them and burn them, they are gone...and they are at peace. People are not like animals. All people must live forever and if they were devout in their faith it won't matter unless they were Christians. Only Christians can go to Heaven. Does anyone see anything suspicious about God's description of King Solomon's temple?? The size of Solomon's temple: 1 Kings 6 2 The temple that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty wide and thirty high 2 Chronicles 3 3 The foundation Solomon laid for building the temple of God was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide (In other words, about 90 feet by 30 feet) This was not a huge place. However... 1 Kings 5 15 Solomon had seventy thousand carriers and eighty thousand stonecutters in the hills, 16 as well as thirty-three hundred foremen who supervised the project and directed the workmen. (It took seven years to build--11 to complete) 1 Kings 6 38 In the eleventh year in the month of Bul, the eighth month, the temple was finished in all its details according to its specifications. He had spent seven years building it 1 Chronicles 22 14 "I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone. And you may add to them. (13,100,000 lbs. of gold and 116,400,000 lbs. of silver) 1 Chronicles 23 4 David said, "Of these, twenty-four thousand are to supervise the work of the temple of the LORD and six thousand are to be officials and judges. Some rather STRANGE FIGURES. But let us go on to the greatest sacrifice in history: 7:5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 7:6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 7:7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. 7:8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt. (THIS IS OVER 14 ANIMALS A MINUTE FOR SEVEN DAYS RUNNING. Every 4 seconds, they killed another animal for God. EVERY FOUR SECONDS!!! Leaving aside the logistics of this--Is this what made Solomon..."the wisest man that ever lived"???
