Favorite Passages (non denominational)
From the Baghavad Gita (Indian Religion)



Worn-out garments are shed by the body:
Worn-out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body.
New bodies are donned (worn) by the dweller, like garments.

Not wounded by weapons,
Not burned by fire,
Not dried by the wind,
Not wetted by water:
Such is the Atman (soul),

Not dried, not wetted,
Not burned, not wounded,
Innermost element,
Everywhere, always,
Changeless, eternal,
Forever and ever.





For I am Brahman (GOD)
Within this body,
Life immortal
That shall not perish:
I am the Truth
And the Joy forever!

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.---matthew 17:20

I am not a human being having a spiritual experience, I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party:

Mt 23:13

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!

For ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither allow ye them that are entering to go in.

Isaiah 1: 21

Alas, she has become a harlot!

The faithfull city
That was filled with justice,
Where righteousness dwelt....
But now murderers.

Your silver has turned to dross;
Your wine is cut with water.
Your rulers are rougues
And cronies of thieves.

Everyone avid for presents
And greedy for gifts;
They do not judge the cause of the orphan,
And the widow's cause never reaches them.




Isaiah 1: 27- 31

Zion (those faithfull to GOD) shall be saved in the judgement;
Her repentent ones, in the retribution.

But rebels and sinners shall all be crushed.
And those who forsake the Lord shall perish.

Truly you shall be ashamed
Because of the terebinths (valuable trees) you desired,
And you shall be shamed because of the gardens you coveted.

For you shall be like a terebinth (tree)
Wilted of leaf,
And like a garden
That has no water.

Stored wealth shall become as chaff,
And he who amassed it as a spark;
And the two shall burn together
With none to quench.




Isaiah 5: 20- 24

Ah,

Those who call evil good
And good evil;

Who present darkness as light
And light as darkness;

Who present bitter as sweet and sweet as bitter!





Ah,

Those who are so brave....
As drinkers of wine.

And so fearless as mixers of drink!




Who vindicate him who is in the wrong in return for a bribe.
And withold vindication of him who is in the right.





Assuredly as straw is consumed by the flame of fire
And hay shrivels as it burns,

Their stock shall become like rot,
And their buds shall blow away like dust.
For they have rejected the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Rev 18

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,

Come out of her (Babylon/America), my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins!

And that ye receive not of her plagues!

5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
