Warning to Christians

"Speak to the earth..." Is a poetic admonition to question and look at how things work by observing them as to question how and why. This is not ascribing mystical being to the creation other than what it tells you about God.


"Pulpit Commentary

Verse 8. - Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee. If the material earth be intended, the appeal must be to its orderly course, its summers and winters, its seedtime and harvest, its former and latter rains, its constant productivity, which, no less than animal instincts, speak of a single ruling power directing and ordering all things. If the creeping things of the earth, the reptile creation, be meant, then the argument is merely an expansion of that in the preceding verse. The instincts of reptiles are to be ascribed, no less than those of beasts and birds, to the constant superintending action and providence of the Almighty. And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. The testimony will be unanimous - beasts, birds, reptiles, and fishes will unite in it."

Are you saying temporary deception affects divinity in a negative way? Aren't we just following the narrative? If you know the truth and they are the ones decieved shouldn't you be more patient and understanding? Salomon also believed in the God of Abraham, so how you acknowledge his writing without acknowledging his core beliefs? You're not being consistent.

Love one another! We are all in this together so lets be civil at least?

If you're waiting to be lifted off the face of Mother Earth, I'd be quite careful if I were you. You have no idea what this imaginary dude known as JC looks like and you have no idea where you will be taken. Perhaps you will be taken to another "world" because you do not care to be on this one any longer? What guarantees do you have that things will be better on another world? Remember, Satan IS the greatest deceiver of all!!! Perhaps it is YOU that has been deceived in believing you will be taken to a "special place"? Why not choose instead to stay and do everything you can to make this a better place for everyone?

The Pulpit Commentary is a homiletic commentary on the Bible created during the nineteenth century under the direction of Rev. Joseph S. Exell and Henry Donald Maurice Spence-Jones. It consists of 23 volumes with 22,000 pages and 95,000 entries, and was written over a 30 year period with 100 contributors.

Hmmm, who says their interpretation is the right interpretation? Are these men well versed in Greek mythology? The Bible, both Old and New Testament used in the West was written in Greek. The Bible is Greek mythology. I highly doubt these men knew anything about Greek mythology.

And besides, if this is indeed "the word of God", why then should I look outside myself for an interpretation? Shouldn't I allow "God" to speak to me directly?

You shouldn't assume that JC is imaginary. Be more open minded to possibilities.

You are confirmed in your Greek myth view, but by virtue of being in Greek and used in the west in Greek does not endorse the myths by existing in Greek. The Greek myths came from what? Consider that the Bible is God's version of clarifying the myths as to their origins?

As for allowing God to speak to you directly, that is a false dichotomy as though learning from others means God is not teaching you. The Word is a source of knowledge and wisdom and a lens for understanding. Has your view of a Bible teaching never been instructed or changed by hearing another?
