2. King David was a rat with women. OUT HE GOES.
And Jesus Christ of the House of David is never born.

3. And he that distorts the law for his own gain.
Edited on Sat Jun-11-11 04:21 PM by RandomThoughts
Outside of justice and compassion, not understanding the spirit of the law.

What is his fate?

He will be judged by the law he does not follow as he claims he does. And that is law, those that falsely accuse others, suffer the penalty they try to impose. And none keep the law.

And I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.

4. Matthew 23:23
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anize and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy and faith: these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone.

Ye blind guides, who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.

Even so ye outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Hypocrites are the worst of the worst.

6. And we are all hypocrits. Also, nobody is perfect.
The way I think of it is self righteousness is overshooting, and thinking you can't make a difference is undershooting.

I know I been baited into self righteousness a few times, as with attempts to try and get me to accept despair.

But what I keep finding is peoples hearts shine through in so many ways that is just about what they are, so they don't have to tell people what they have to be, by living their lives they set a good example.

heh, not saying that I set a good example LOL, but I do like to see all the thoughtful feeling stuff that is out there.

And of coarse I am due beer and travel money and many experiences.

9. and may you get it. :-D I think shooting high and trying to be good
and kind is the best path. You might not always succeed but you will farther along than if you didn't. I can't stand hypocrites and even though I know I have been one before, I work extra hard to actually do what I say. Hugs, hon.

11. If it is true that we are all hypocrits, and being such is a flaw, then following
the statement that we are ALL hypocrits with "nobody is perfect" is redundant - don't you think?

In the same way that 'yellow jaundice' is (jaundice is a yellowing) or 'close proximity' (can there be a far proximity?"

12. I only make the statement to avoid a trap.
And redundancy can also be a second correlating source.
