I have told you this before, but I will tell you in all sincerity again, "go
and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice'." (1st canonical
gospel, 9:13a, NIV.)
1. This still begs the question how do you know that God really desires mercy?
Is mercy good only in your head or Godʼs as well and how can you be sure of
that? Mabye the real God is a vengfull God and what you call good is evil......?
2. More importaintly, a closer examination of that verse both in Hosea as well
as Mat 19:13.. shows us that Christ audience did not understand that verse
either, so what makes you so sure you do?.... Did they sacrifice?...Yes! Did
Christ condemn sacrifices....NO!...Mark 1:44......What they like many do not
understand, which is what Christ was showing them is just because there is a
acceptable sacrifice for mistreating people does not mean it is acceptable to
mistreat your brother for your own sake ( the one he had healed )and make up
for it with a "required sacrifice". The sacrifice does not make up for the evil
acts particular if the act is intentional. They were asking a question why do
you eat with publicans and sinners? This was after Christ had just healed a man
...did they care about the man or the publicans&sinners...NO! they only cared
about themselfs. All the sacrifice in the world will not make up for their
apathy and contempt for the truth and
work of God, which was Christ comming to heal the sick and bring the words of
life to the lost ....what were they doing?.......Mat 23:13 you dont go in and
you suffer not them that would........... Christ is pointing out that if they
had the truth of God /mercy they would not condemn work of God a mercifully act
as they did throughout His ministry and secondly seek to help/save not just
condemn their brothers who they condemn falsely. That was jesus point when he
said.....Matthew 21: 31 the publicans and harlots go into the kingdom before
you do....They did not have mercy on anyone, they were only interested in being
self-righteous and condemn any and everyone that did not conform to them
including Christ and anyone the Christ helped. ....You see they were out to
silence and eventually would kill the Christ. There are still plenty of folk
who need to as Christ said " Go lean what this means"....The verses are not
condeming sacrifice without assuming
that into the verse ( circular logic), Jesus is puting sacrifice in
perspective. But they would not hear his words then and I dont see that you are
listining to them now..........

Dear Jack,
The hardest tale to see through is one that has a thread of truth in it. For
example, imagine the Twin Towers collapse without the aeroplanes flying into
them. It then would be obvious to a blind man what had happened, right? So, you
make sure that there is something inserted that cannot be denied, such that you
can always point to this truth to 'justify' your lies.
In exactly the same way, the black book without strands of truth would be
glaringly obvious as the demonic, occult tool that it is.
Hence, when I try to extract the strands of truth, I am not "cherry-picking"
the black book.
Your daily reading is typical of church organizations that people such as
yourself chose to 'belong' to. The Jehovah's Witnesses had exactly the same
type of daily devotional brain washing. The Devil is regularly thrown in to
make the flock tow the party line.
I have told you this before, but I will tell you in all sincerity again, "go
and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice'." (1st canonical
gospel, 9:13a, NIV.)
Regards,
Neville.

Subject: [geocentrism] A tool of Satan
Dear Neville,
My normal practice each morning is to read a chapter from the Bible and then
read the appropriate page from my daily devotional book. As I was reading the
Bible my mind kept wandering to your latest pronouncements about what you
believe. My mind wasn't on what I was reading but rather was thinking that you
seem to be becoming a very efficient tool of Satan. You may consider what I am
about to say as a mere coincidence, and it may well be, but its significance
cannot be lost. I was most surprised when I saw that the title of today's
subject was 'Resisting the Devil'. I have reproduced it below.
Resisting the Devil
Mar. 12, 2008
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist steadfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in
the world." (1 Peter 5:8, 9)
The devil is far more powerful and intelligent (as well as subtle and seductive
in his malignant purposes) than any combination of human enemies we could ever
face, and we would be utterly unable to defeat him with our own human
resources. Yet Godʼs Word makes it plain that we are neither to yield to him
nor flee from him. Instead, the admonition is: "Resist the devil, and he will
flee from you" (James 4:7).
But how can we resist such a mighty foe? As in our text, we must constantly
maintain sobriety and vigilance against his enticements, and be careful to
remain "steadfast in the faith." Otherwise, the pseudo-intellectualism and
social peer pressure to which we are subjected daily could quickly persuade us
to compromise the faith, or even to depart from the faith.
We are commanded not to yield and not to compromise. Instead we must "put on
the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil." We have "the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all
the fiery darts of the |wicked one|," and also "the sword of the Spirit, which
is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:11, 16, 17).
This mighty sword with which we can make Satan flee from us, is literally "the
saying of God"--that is, an appropriate individual word from the complete Word
of God. This was the instrument with which the Lord Jesus Himself resisted the
devil, parrying each temptation with an incisive thrust of Scripture. The
result then--as it will be now with us also--was that the devil "departed from
him for a season" (Luke 4:13).
It has been pointed out to you by myself, Philip, Allen and others that your
dismissal of the Bible as a 'book of astrology' is incompatible with you
'cherry picking' scripture from it. You clearly take scripture out of context
in exactly the same way that Satan did with Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus very
skilfully corrected Satan and seeing him off! I therefore have no hesitation in
comparing you with those identified in the above reading. I do not wish to see
you used in this way, particularly because of your geocentric stance, but the
writing is on the wall and you have been warned.
Jack
