			<link>http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/4700/t/8-Revelation-3-18-White-Raiment.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ 8. &quot;I counsel thee to buy ... white raiment ... that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.&quot;
<br>
<br>
Response: Notice that Jesus said the people of the congregation at Laodicea were to buy these things rather than to receive them as free gifts. They
represented spiritual things that the congregation needed to work on. Refined gold with the dross removed was spiritual wealth. Eye salve represented a cure
for their spiritual blindness. The white raiment, or outer garment... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ &quot;The seven spirits of God&quot; (Does that include the Holy Spirit?)
<br>
<br>
Response: The number 7 represents completeness. At Revelation 1:4 the seven spirits of God are before his throne. Seven messages are given to listen to what
the spirit (Jesus) says to the congregations. (Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 29; 3:6, 13, 22) These seven spirits are the seven elders of the seven congregations
under the headship of Jesus Christ who is under the headship of Jehovah God himself. (Revelation... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 6. Revelation 2:23 - &quot;I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts.&quot;
<br>
<br>
&quot;Reins&quot; are kidneys. So someday Jesus will be searching through your kidneys, if he hasn&#39;t done it already.
<br>
<br>
Response: Kidneys are not used figuratively today the way the heart still is often used, but in Bible the Hebrew and Greek they were applied figuratively to
indicate the innermost aspects of ones personality. The deepest and most inaccessible thoughts and emotions. In... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 5. Revelation 2:18 - John repeats his description of Jesus, saying he has eyes of fire and feet of brass.
<br>
<br>
Response: In the Bible darkened eyes represent unseeing (Romans 11:10) so the symbolism here applies to Jesus&#39; blazing eyes that see everything that may
bring figurative darkness to the congregation.
<br>
<br>
No evidence exists indicating that the people of Bible times could harden pure copper by tempering, though they could harden the cutting edge of tools by cold... ]]></description>

			<link>http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/4689/t/4-Revelation-2-16-Repent-Or-Sword-Mouth.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ 4. Revelation 2:16 - Repent -- or else Jesus will fight you with the sword that sticks out of his mouth. (Like the limbless knight in Monty Python&#39;s
&quot;Holy Grail.&quot;)
<br>
<br>
Response: This is no mere flesh wound. Actually, its an interesting comparison of Balaam and King Balak (Balac - KJV) with those in the congregation of
Pergamum that resonates in modern day apostate Christianity. Balaam was a prophet for profit who turned on the holy nation of Israel by ingratiating himself... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 3. Revelation 2:13 - He (John or Jesus) even knows where Satan&#39;s seat is!
<br>
<br>
Response: Not literally the seat, or throne, depending upon the translation, of Satan the devil. Pergamum was situated in the center of cult emperor and
nationalistic worship. The Hebrew word Satan means &quot;resister,&quot; and the throne symbolizes Satan&#39;s ruler ship over the people in the area which was
in resistance to the congregation there where it is possible that Antipas was killed for... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 2. Revelation 2:1, 8, 12, 18; 3:1, 7, 14 - The book of Revelation was written for, and addressed to, various angels.
<br>
<br>
Response: The Hebrew malakh and Greek aggelos can be translated as angel or messenger. At Malachi 2:7, for example a Levite priest is called a
&quot;messenger&quot; (Hebrew malakh). Normally when these words apply contextually to spirit creatures they are translated as &quot;angels&quot; and when to
humans they are translated as &quot;messengers.&quot; Why this rule... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;m not sure if this belongs here or not, but there are a couple of aspects about the garden of Eden story that just recently hit me.
<br>
<br>
There were two trees in the garden of Eden.  The tree of knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life.  God only told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of
good and evil.  They were free to eat from the tree of life. 
<br>
<br>
After planting the trees God told them they would surely die on the day they ate from the first tree.  But here&#39;s... ]]></description>

<br>
&quot;The Greek teaching of the immortal soul wasn&#39;t a part of those Christian teachings until later&quot;
<br>
<br>
Thank you for admitting that Christianity has been an culturally evolving collection of ideas stolen from predecessors.
<br>
<br>
Now if only you can admit what that means, i.e.: its all in the minds of people, not a divine being. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The SAB - &quot;The first resurrection&quot;
<br>
<br>
Those who don&#39;t worship the beast will become priests and reign with Christ for 1000 years. The rest of the dead will remain dead until the 1000 years is
over.
<br>
<br>
Response: Revelation 20:4 refers to the holy ones mentioned at Daniel 7:13, 14, 18, the 24 elders mentioned at Revelation 4:4, including the apostles. (Matthew
19:28) Those mentioned in 20:4 have already been tested and have refused Satan&#39;s temptation.

sword.&quot;</em>
<br>
<br>
Jesus has white hair, eyes of fire, feet of brass, and has a sword sticking out of his mouth.
<br>
<br>
Response:</strong> The Book being symbolic, gives Jesus with white hair, which of course, represents wisdom. (Proverbs 16:31) Eyes of fire represent a
searching. If dark eyes meant an inability to see then eyes of... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Daystars response to busterggi, on the absurdly long life of man in the bible.
<br>
<br>
&quot;The evidence. Lets take the flood. The Bible makes later references as to it being a literal event. Noah wasn&#39;t a legend he was listed in the
genealogy, Jesus speaks of it as an historical event, Peter makes reference to the water vapor canopy. (Luke 3:36 / Matthew 24:37-39 / Luke 17:26-27 / 2 Peter
3:5-6) <span style="font-weight: bold;">That water vapor canopy <span style="color: rgb(0, 0,... ]]></description>

Second, what is this topic is about: in Nehemiah 2:8 Nehemiah get a letter in which the king approves him to rebuild Jerusalem.

Then I ask WHY THE FUCK NOT HE USES THAT PIECE OF SHIT?
