Lets leave the Beatles aside, I am more impressed by your readiness to edit the Biblical texts! I met people who follow the Bible literally, read about those who were removing some parts from it, but you be the first who actually adds to it! The word of Ape over the word of God! Once Caesar Tiberius met a provincial teacher, who was proud of himself to be so learned and literate that he was editing the poems of Homer, making them to sound more pleasantly. Tiberius experienced a shock and ordered to whip the wretch to death for him mutilating the great poet...
Let's always include the Beatles especially when they sing All We Need is Love!
And only be impressed with Love for words and their oppositenemies!
Then when someone says or writes any scripture
in other words, you wd know that they are saying it or writing it in their own words---which are still God's words!
Listen to 'Fly Me To The Moon' and pay attention to the words
In Other Words! Enjoy the waterfalls!
Here is God writing in Love through Habakkuk:
Habakkuk 1:
5Behold
ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
Here is the same thing written in Love in different other words by God through Paul:
Acts 13:
40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Behold,
ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
So feel free to write any Bible verse in YOUR OWN words in other words at any time! That would be God speaking through you!
Just be careful not to
add any Hate to any word or
subtract any Love for any word or its enemy-opposite!
Can you now see what these verses always meant:
Revelation 22:
18For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book,
If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19And
if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
By the way, Shakespeare or Colerdige or Shelley or Blake or etc or me would and could have easily convinced Tiberius to whip up more Love rather than whip that teacher!
Sir, Lord Caesar Tiberius, Sir!
All this teacher, have mercy on him, was doing was what your dear mom and dad, God bless every mention of their beloved names, did when they added just 3 letters to the sound of the name
Tiber, that great beloved river Tiber, the 3rd longest in your Empire, and made you in to
Tiber-ius, the greatest Caesar of all time, Sir, Lord Caesar, Sir, with a better sounding name, Caesar Tiberius, which the teacher, that Teacher of Love for all, loves just the same as Tiber! He knows that like that River Tiber flows blessings to all those who benefit from its living waters, so too, Sir, Lord Caesar Tiberius, out of the river of the flower of the loving heart of Caesar Tiberius will flow even greater blessings to all near and far!
Tiberius:
Whip Love up in every heart!
Planned whipping of teacher cancelled!
I hereby promote this teacher to the positions of Poet Laureate & Teacher Laureate of the Empire for life. Effective statim!
And you gentelmen, Davius, Willius, Samuelius, Percius, Billius, etc and apius, I declare you as of now, the most senior advisors of my Administration for life!
And I hereby issue this decree:
Let every person in my Empire love themselves as all words and their opposites so we can hear all men speak in Love and thus in their own words the words of all other men!
Now if we could only find that decree! It has to be somewhere in the records of the Roman Empire! :
Thanks!
