Moralisims Fom the God of Abraham sent my prophets into your valley in goats hair and a stick to warn you and you mocked his wos

Moral isms... Who eats rotten fruit?
Does not the eye ,and the heart long for the tender shoot?
Is it such a crime to love?
what makes the fawn a prey?
what is blood, and how many stones will drip it's gift into the crevices of my heart?
The Assyrians had riders; that at a full gallop could sever the head; at a full gallop the rider behind impaled it, and held it up as a Trophy .In was their sport to skin there enemies ,and throw them in a vat of salt....these are the  Assyrians that worshiped the god Of hate, and war. They were merciless, compassionless evil .No woman , man or child,                                                         did not know the terror Of their
armies; they were unstoppable. They cut the unborn from there mother's bellies,and held them up before her dying eyes. These are the Assyrians-- these are the armies before whom the ten tribes are scattered; who cried to the God of Israel , whom  they Had abandoned to worship their gods of wood, and, stone ,and sacrifice there children to Baal .they were scattered into the Cracks and crevices of the earth until the day of there return
Why do you rage Nineveh ?  Will you not fall before the legions I send against you. Remember Jonah my prophet, and his words no More, and hide your face from wisdom, as the ostrich ;but that will not save you from your immorality on the day you are judged.

Hi. Zig. I know . Not

Hi. Zig. I know . Not exactly a popular issue is itBut then I don't strive to be popular. I strive to be myself. Assyria conquered the southern kingdom of Isreal and deported it's people. They are called the lost ten tribes.God sent his prophets to warn Isreal to repentor they would be vomited out of the land , but they refused; turning to the evil practices of the surrounding nations including child sacrifice.Stay fresh old man B

Look deeper into immorality

It is an interesting issue on how people look at immorality. To the generally moral people, immoral blemishes either big or small are subjects of contempt. I can feel the injustice you felt for this kind of attitude. Thus you cited history - the Assyrians' cruelty toward men, women and children during the war.To you, such evil and merciless practices are real immorality. The people who suffered such tribulation under the Assyrians' swords were God's people who turned to the false gods. Their immorality had put them under judgement.Then the story of Jonah and Nineveh showed God's mercy to sinful people. From here we learn what mercy is. Thanks Barry for sharing. Opme.

Anyone with a son or daughter has special interest in the issue of morality. Do you feel your children should be the subjects of immorality? You sound indifferent

Oh God how odd the

Oh God how odd the dreams and grasping greed of man his passions seized by blinding faith the band of robbers stand the wraith of wisdom severed at the head the innocence of man diseased the flees of madness bite the fright of his delight a curse made so perverse so slight a movement, death to those who meditate relate their woes to foreign foes and live to see the gates of Hell and Heaven on a plate with covered frozen lakes like waters vanishing before their eyes its all a great disguise not wise so dry your eyes and stand up strong the winds of life aren't long see through the red tape the worms of fate and ride them in your tattered state to the end of life's concern. Yoikey love sister Ann. Stars wait for a little work on this Barry!
