><>...Good afternoon Del...><>

This statement of yours surprised me Del.
By the way, I'm getting a little tired of you guys thinking that you need to explain the
Bible's words to me as if you have a special gift
.

Del I never meant to upset you, and forgive me if I have. You openly asked the following.
1....please explain all this to me so that I may have your wisdom.
And
2.Please put this in any context you like and explain it to a poor lost soul like me

I innocently , but wrongly nonetheless, thought you really wanted to understand.

You also stated;
This is
god speaking, so don't try to re-interpret what he has said. He is supposed to be able to
know what he is saying without mere mortals explaining it
.

God certainly does know exactly what He is saying, and He certainly does have a reason for His actions, a most perfect reason, even if some mere mortals do not understand.

And you Del would also understand if only you gave Him a chance.
If you read that wonderful Bible of your's with an open heart instead of with a critical eye,(is that why you keep it on hand?) God would speak to you through His word and you would gain much understanding. You see Del God knows our hearts. He knows those that are hardened against Him, and He knows those which are open to Him. Those that are open to Him, His truths and His love, will be given insight and wisdom. Those whose hearts are not,... well they will continue to lack insight and wisdom. They will continue to mock, and curse the God who formed them and loves them.

This statement of your's is a truth.
Nice guy, your god.

He certainly is! And if you think He is Good, you ought to try His Son, Jesus the Christ, who died for even your sins Del.

Prov 30:5-6
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Have a good day
Shalom...><>
BTW to answer your question
How would you choose Shalom?
I have already chosen. I have chosen to serve the LORD my God. He is an Awesome God. A most loving and gracefilled God....there is none like Him! Praise His Holy Name.!
