I stand up for the Christian faith, so none of you will knock me down and I will keep on being here to do that. What do you think? Why is that? God bless you. What do you think? How are you doing? I don't understand why you have a problem with me lol.
No, you don't stand up for God/Christ at all. You're anonymous, and it's only darkness that likes to hide. Those that walk in the light are transparent because they have nothing to hide. The bible says that one shall know them by their deeds. Well, your deeds reek of vengeance and agression. This is not the Christian way.
Your actions are passive agressive, in the same sort of mold as fundamentalist Muslims really.
You are not letting your light shine before all men because you are invisible because you are hiding because you know that what you are doing is wrong. If you and other Christians really believe in what you are doing, then you would have your real names here. But you don't. And that says it all.
You're just a troll - not a Christian.
You shall know a Christian by his works, and I spent 5 years at a church school, plus another 10 years afterwards as a born again Christian. then I retired from the church and become an atheist. But I do know Christianity, and you're not one.
Sophia Angelique you know I can turn the other cheek and let you slap me on the other cheek because it is foolish thing to argue with people, so I am ending here. Sophia Angelique it is pointless to argue because we will just have opinions, that will be unprofitable to God. I am done with bible verses because I can tell I am wasting my time. That saddens me. I do go to church on Sunday, sometimes on Saturday, sometimes on Wednesday and other times too. I am happy.
The devil also goes to church on Sundays. He also sprouts verses endlessly. He also signs up anonymously on websites. He does that because he knows that he isn't real. The devil does everything you do, so, no, you're not a Christian. You're a troll.
People who are Christians walk in love and openess with their brethren. They do not sign up with anonymous accounts and evidence passive agressiveness which is what you've been doing throughout this thread.
You are absolutely not a Christian. You shall know them by their fruit, and you don't have the fruit. You are a child of the devil. Read Judges - the last chapter.No, you're not a Christian.
Christians are known by their fruit. You don't have any of that fruit. You are passive agressive.
Christians do not hide behind anonymous names and evidence the kind of behaviour that you do. That is not Christian theology. You need to understand the bible as well as read it.
You are a loud gong according to one Corrinthians 13 and empty rain according to the last chapter in Judges.
You have spammed me by writing endless verses on my fanmail. This is not only against Hubpages rules, but a sin in God's sight. Why? Because you are breaking the law of the land. And Jesus has said, "Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar, and unto God what is Gods."
For the record, demons and the devil love to go to chruch as well. Of course, you can turn the other cheek. It would have more credibility if you revealed your real identity. You haven't. This is the action of a coward. Christians, I believe, 'can do all things through Christ Jesus." If you were really walking with Christ, you would not need to sign up for a special account so that you could throw verses at other hubbers.
You're a troll, not a Christian.
If you want to check out then you can because these bible verses are about the Devil http://www.openbible.info/topics/devil and I hope you understand it. How are you doing? What would you like to talk about? What do you think of these bible verses? What is going on? It is funny to argue with Sophia because it is pointless. Good luck to you all. See ya.
Sophia Angelique you know you are not God, so you may not judge me. You are athesist you admitted to it, so you do admit that you don't believe in what I believe in, so you think I am wrong because you don't believe in it. I am sorry that you fell away from God because I can tell you are miserable person, mock God, mock Christians and you are just a hateful person too. I tell people what they are doing wrong so they don't live a lie and go to Hell for it. If I don't witness to anybody then it is my fault that they are going to Hell because I refused to tell them about God and I don't want that on my record. I am sorry that you think I am wrong, but I am not wrong because I am telling people about God's word and that is witnessing too. It is sad that you refuse it. People think I am wrong because people don't want to hear the truth from the Holy Bible, so they are denying God like you. You are very sad. I am not a Muslim, but thank you for that. Why are you an athesist? What is so good about it? What is your testimony about it? Do you want a message from me? I can give you bible verses about athesist and witnessing too. I have sexual immorality problems and I know what the Holy Bible says about it and I need to work on it. I work with children. I feed the homeless. I help out the community. People can tell I have a faith in God because they see it in my actions and words too. Thank you so much.
Oh, I absolutely can judge you. It's only Christians who are not permitted to judge others. There isn't a legal law in this land that forbids me to judge you. You rebuke me? Do you honestly believe that your words are magical and have some sort of power over me? You're kidding, right?
You have no power over me. there is no god. It's all your delusional imagination.You do all of this without love. And as 1 Corinthians 13 says that if you do anything without love, then you are only a resounding gong, in short a lot of noise.
You're making a lot of noise about God. However, you don't represent him because you do not evidence the fruit of the spirit.
Sophia Angelique it is funny how you ramble on about me, but I truly don't care about what you say about me because I met tons of people like you. God had people go to prison for sharing the gospel with other people. The apostles went jail because people lie about them and then God send them to jail, so they can witness to the prisoners there. I have met tons of people like you on Facebook, so I rebuke people like you because it is funny to me, now. John the Baptist was beheaded because he told a lady she couldn't marry her uncle. John the Baptist told the lady that she can't marry her uncle, then the lady's daughter won the king's attention, then the king asked what do you want, then she asked her mom what she wanted, she said I want John the Baptist's head cut off and it happened that way. Then the rest of the people died because they risked their lives for God. You know I am sorry that you deny God and you think it is sin that I share God's word because you hate it. It saddens me. People have told me to go suck Jesus' cock. People have called me Fred Phelps. People have called me retarded. They get tired of me talking about God. They accused me of stalking their family, so they called the cops on me. I got harassment for three years for sharing the gospel on Facebook. I am sinning against the Land because they are not open to God's word. I will share bible verses on here and we are all equal, so we are all sinners.
James 4:4
King James Version (KJV)
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.1 Corinthians 6:9-11
King James Version (KJV)
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.My passion is talking about God's word and God all the time, so that is not a sin, but I loose people over it. We are all sinners, so thank you for saying that about me. You are sinner with arguing with me because athesists don't believe in God, I believe in God and we just keep quarreling because we don't believe in the samething. You need to to read bible verses and David's battle with his faith and that is in Psalms. You need to read Ezekiel and that will tell you what God will do to the nonbelievers. I think Revelation would be good for you to read. Titus is a great book because it will tell believers to rebuke people.
To be honest you are really wrong about me because I am not seeking vengeance on anybody, so you are really wrong about me. My point is to lead people to Christ by telling people bible verses about why they are wrong or just in love too. God's word is love. You are sinning because you think I am sinning because I am seeking vengeance on people that did me wrong, but I love them and that is why I am telling them
about God's word. Sorry that you don't understand me. I see where you are coming out thou. The bible verses might seem judgmental to you, but I mean it in love. Sorry that people see me in the wrong way. I work with special children because I understand them because I was in a resource myself for math in English. I got teased all my life about my faith in God, teased me for being a resource room, people were very cruel to me and I am used to it. I pray for all of you. Good luck. Talk you later.Sophia Angelique it is great that you admit that you are an athesist because in the Holy Bible it says don't be evenly yoked with nonbelievers because what does the light have to do with the darkness and that means stay away from the darkness. You know I have feed the homeless with my Christian friends. You should read my bible verses on here that deal with nonbelievers because I don't want to post it again. I might as well email you instead of doing it on here because they don't want to hear about it. This is just getting funny to me. It is foolish. People can see the goodness in my heart. Good luck,
You know you are judging me again because you have not meet me in person. How do you know that I don't do these things, when you haven't meet me in person? What is my faith in God like? This is just fun to me. I would tell you more about myself if you want me too. It is funny. I will pray for you. Have fun,
1 Corinthians 13
King James Version (KJV)
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.2 Corinthians 13
King James Version (KJV)
13 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
4 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9 For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
12 Greet one another with an holy kiss.
13 All the saints salute you.
14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.You don't care about what I say, but you care what I do, when you never met me in person. That is so silly because you have no clue who I am and you are judging me, when you don't even know me. Thank you for being in my life because you tested my faith in God. I appreciate you in my life. You should read my bible verses on here about judgment because it is on here. It has been fun. What else would you like to say to me? How are you feeling?
If you want to check out the bible verses about vengeance then you can check out http://www.openbible.info/topics/vengeance_ and it is a great resource for you. I think we are done. I have reported all the personal attacks on here about me. Thank you so much. You got me all wrong. I am just wasting my time on here. You all judged me wrong here because I love people and you see me the wrong way. I will pray for all of you.
By the way I don't use bible verses for vengeance, but I use it to turn people away from sin and turn to God again. They need to know the truth about the Holy Bible, but people always don't want to hear about it because they don't want to hear their sin in the Holy Bible. I have a whole bunch a sin the Holy Bible, so I see it and change it, so I can get closer to God. People see my bible verses as a sin and vengeance because they don't want to be told that they are wrong about it and they don't want to hear the truth in the Holy Bible. I understand where you are coming from. Sorry that you see me in the wrong way because I am not that way. Please get to know me. I would like to get to know you.
Surely Jessica, by now, it is obvious that the bible verses are a "whipping" for not totally agreeing with everything you say. Everytime you get an objection, your "punishment" is bible verses. Did your father make you read bible verses when you acted up at home??? For blatant disrespect in your eyes, the "sentence" is 200 bible verses, stat!!! I have been "whipped" a few times with the 200 verses. It is punishment for you, for some reason. I must say that it does get kind of funny, because nothing stops you. NOTHING
even a ban only compels you to make up another name and return, like a thief, verses in hand. Please READ the next set of verses that you post and explain them to me. I need to understand the scriptures. Thank you for hearing me. genaea - tell me something, and this should be relatively easy. Do you believe in an all-powerful deity? That is, a god who can do anything? Is there something that your god cannot do? I'm not talking about the "can he build a rock so big he can't lift it" or any philosophical mind games. I'm asking you if there is anything that he cannot do that can be proven based solely on the bible, since you believe everything that the bible says as absolute fact.
I know that the Lord is much better than I. I do not know the entire bible. But I do know that he is capable of amazing feats. That is, in/outside of the bible. Nothing my God can't do is a term that shows complete trust. I trust that I can always depend on him to do any and everything I could possibly need.
so you don't believe in a god that can do anything, then. You reject the omni's? Specifically omniscient, omnipresent and omni-powerful? The bible does claim all of these things, you know.
You just believe in a god that can and will do anything for you?
I'm not trying to be condescending. I'm trying to understand what you believe specifically.Well yes, all-everything then. The bible does give a list of omnis. I totally believe the bible.
you do believe the omnis. Can you then explain Judges 1:19 please?
This is a god that can raise someone from the dead, heal the sick, cure anything, move mountains.
He apparently has a problem with iron, specifically.
Additionally, can you point me to any instance in the last 2000+ years where god has healed an amputee? Or does he just generally dislike them?The scripture said, next verse, that Caleb drove them out. Think ye Caleb, greater than God???
Maybe it was not their time to go. I cannot speculate, a number of things could be the case.The verse in question specifically says that god was with judah, and that god drove out the inhabitants of the mountains - but that he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because of their iron chariots.
Not that it was not time, not that there was a written reason - that he COULD NOT. That seems to imply that there is indeed something that the god of the bible cannot do. The bible is full of example of things that WON'T do. That's not what this verse says - especially when you read the original hebrew.
can you explain how a god that is perfectly just is also perfectly merciful?
Mercy: The suspension of justice - preventing someone from getting what they deserve. The two are mutually exclusive.as far as amputees go - there's no doubt in your belief that the heart is more important than the body. That's not the question.
The bible says that anything that a believer with faith asks for in the name of christ shall be done. I've no doubt that many people who have lost limbs and prayed fervently to be healed in body as well as in heart have failed to regrow a limb. We know, through science, that certain animals can indeed regrow limbs. We know that it's conceivably possible in nature. I want to know why god will not regrow a limb - especially when it is prayed for with faith.
you claim that god cured polio. He raised people from the dead. That seems much more difficult than regrowing an arm, a leg or a finger.
I'll be back in the morning....I genuinely want to figure out what you believe and why. I'm not trying to "prove you wrong". Just asking questions, with no sarcasm intended.I understand.
God has reason for doing what he does. Sometimes a limb removal is necessary. It is so like God the father to do as he pleases. Jesus said that the works that his followers saw him do would be topped by them. I would like to say here, that Jesus did not pray selfish prayers, he did not "heal" himself. When he prayed for himself, his prayer was unanswered. The next time Jesus said that he would do anything, the preceding phrase was, if ye abide in me, and my words abide in you. That meant that the asking would be within the realm of him. You will be asking for something that he would ask for. You will be content with what you have already. It will not be a selfish prayer.
To me, it's like this. Only God may decide what is just. Only God may decide what is fair. When you think about the fact that he searches the heart, you realize that he cannot make a mistake.
Do you know that some people will NOT be accepted because they "ate the sacred meat" and some WILL???
He searches the heart. He knows if it is clean or not. We cannot look at the heart. We do not have what it takes to judge fairness. His mercy is everlasting to those who believe. Perfectly merciful to those who believe what he says. That is why the bible says to lean not unto thine own understanding, (we haven't the equipment) In all thy ways, acknowledge him and he will direct thy path.
I am not sure about healing the limbs of amputees, I know they have "alternative" limbs. In a sense, yes many amputees receive "replacements" but the heart is more important than any arm or leg to God. Im sure some amputees are amputees as the very healing you speak of. He loves us all. I am sure that he has taken a limb or two to prove it.
Great and powerful answer, genaea . The Creator and the sustainer of the Universe, is more than able to do more than we ask for or have need to .
Keep up with your faith .
You are actually turning people away from this thread. Something Genea has worked really hard at preventing. She has worked really hard at keeping it going.
Genaea by your comments about me is going to make you look less like a Christian, so go ahead and talk about me because it is just gossip and rumors, so go ahead and do it. It is funny that you are a Christian and you talk about other Christians like that. I already posted bible verses about gossip and rumors, so I think you need to read it again. I will let you talk because everything out of your mouth is foolish and talking bad about me too. You will have to answer to God for all your foolish acts and all your foolish words you said to other people, so I will let God handle you. I already posted bible verses about foolishness and you will have to read it again. You know you don't have to explain the Holy Bible because it is explainable if you just read it. People will see who you are now.
Why do you see my observation as talking bad about you? I only spoke about what I saw. There have been several times when you specifically post scriptures after someone says something you don't like. It is like being in court. You "slam your gavel" along with your prescribed amount of scripture.
Were you forced to read bible scriptures when you misbehaved???
PennyofHeaven she is showing people how bad she is with judging people and how rude she is. She emailed me bad things like this and now she is posting all over this and people will know she truly is and I can't wait for it :-). She sent me nasty messages and I don't appreciate it. Good luck to you all. I will pray for you. What is going on? How are you doing?
Thank you so much. Do you want me to post bible verses about punishment? What do you want me to do? I will pray for all of you. We are all lost at some point. You can check out http://www.openbible.info/topics/punishment and I hope you get it. Do not talk bad about my bringing up.
I reported her to the authorities and they told me to take up with a higher authority. They called her emails harassment. You should see her emails and you can see what I mean. I would stop harassing me because I will report you to the authorities. What do you think? How are you doing? She sent me long judgment emails without bible verses in it. God bless you,
Jdccfff whatever you're going by now -
why don't you understand that
1) someone disagreeing with you is NOT an attack. Someone calling a belief stupid is NOT an attack. The fact of the matter is that NO ONE is actually attacking you. They're criticizing your BEHAVIOR - not you as a person. Chances are, if you report any ONE of us to the authorities and they read the entire thread - you're the one that's going to be banned or scolded for your repeated violation of the rules of this site - a fact that you completely seem incapable of comprehending. In fact, I would go so far as to say that this has actually already happened numerous times, and that's why you have to continually make up a new nonsense name in order to continue posting.
2) For once, I actually agree with genesea. Posting 200 something verses at a time repeatedly does nothing to bring people to god. 1% of this thread's followers (at most) read anything you say, and your reputation is slipping by the moment. This is not how christians win people over to belief in god. You cannot annoy people into faith any more than you can scare people into faith.
3) Do you not see that people are just making fun of you when they comment on your verses or point out contradictions that you're blind to? They're laughing at you, and you're absolutely oblivious because you're delusional beliefs tell you that you're doing the right thing - but you're not.
I would say more, but it seems to me that you either have an aptitude problem (which you've stated several times since you repeatedly bring up the fact that you were in special education) or you're really a young teenager attempting to stir up trouble by deliberately baiting people. No one is going to jail for disagreeing with you. No one is going to hell for disagreeing with you. You can call the police all you want, but they're not going to do ANYTHING because no one (except you) has done ANYTHING WRONG. You may not like the rules of this site, but they're still rules, and as long as you continue to break them, you're going to continually be deleted. You know what the rules are, you just don't care, and it's that kind of mentality that gives the christian community as a whole a bad rep. Congratulations for proving the point time and time again with no logical, reasonable evidence required. You're evidence enough, and you've put another nail in the coffin of faith by your actions.
I am not lying about you because you told me things that truly was not true about me, you hurt my feelings, you put my character down and you should post our emails on here. What kind of character of Christ is that? What are you doing? Thank you do much.
You really hurt my feelings and judged me the wrong way, so you attacked my character and you are a Christian not an athesist. Where is the emails at? What do you think? I pray for you all.
Jessica, I responded honestly to your emails. Accept the scriptures and the 5 or 6 at the end. But I know you still have them. You post them if you must. I have nothing to hide about our conversations.
You may, but it does not mean enough to me.
Can you tell me what the bible says about a lying tongue or bearing false witness, please???
LoL, are people still actually trying to have a conversation in this forum with that trollololol?
You know I am not a false witness or lying tongue because you personally attacked me, so I personally attacked you. Two wrongs don't make a right. Genaea you didn't tell me the truth about me because it was your opinion, so it doesn't mean it is right. You never gave me bible verses about it. I have you bible verses. Sophia Angelique is out of here. Do I convict you with my presents? What do you think?
Genaea you have judged mt wrongly so you are the false witness and a liar, so you are talking about yourself. I am sorry, but you need to leave me alone because you have hurt me enough with your hateful words towards me. I am not posting those bible verses. I have asked you to leave me alone. Thank you so much.
Christians have a bad name because people don't want to hear the truth, nobody wants to hear the truth all the time. I push people away because all I want to do is talk about God all the time. I give bible verses because that is what I am passionate about and that is about it. JMCFarlarland that was a lot to grasp, now. It is sad that there is not a lot of people out there that is passionate about God. Thank you so much. Good luck. I wish you luck
JMCFarland why are they mocking God's word? Why are they mocking God? What do you think? I think you need to rewrite that one. They are rejecting God's word because they are laughing at it. What is good? I think you are funny.

John 8:43-47 ESV / 32 helpful votes
Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires.

When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”

Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress if she lives with another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law, and if she marries another man she is not an adulteress. Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

They're not mocking the verses you're posting - they're mocking YOU. Yet your foolish religion teaches you that being made fun of is a GOOD thing. That's backwards and foolish.
You continually think that you're under attack by anyone who refuses to agree with your childish and immature assertions that are based on nothing at all. I seriously think that you're disabled, or handi-capable, whatever you want to call it. You don't get that what you're doing is simply, for lack of a better word, ridiculous. You're not doing anything meaningful. I've read the bible more times than you can probably count, and I'm relatively certain that throughout my college career in theology and apologetics, as well as the time afterwards, I know it better than you do. I have no problem with an open discussion, but you can't seem to tell the difference between a discussion and an argument. People don't have to agree. That's how people learn - through interacting with those of differing opinions. It's as simple as that, really. Strangely (or not strangely) you do not seem to be capable of discerning that fact.

(Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)
They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men. All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder. They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived. After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to meet them outside the camp. But Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle. "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded. "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor. They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people. Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man. Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.

For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace.

Titus 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
