This is a big nation the Lord did not make it just for one kind of individuals thinking!
_____________________________________________

Actually men did...James Madison’s thinking...

But whats the “nation” got to do with the nobility of the bereans...

See ???

There ya go again...

Bringing in a modern strawman...this time the US of 1776...

Lets go back again to the early years after 33...

Back when the only nation there was on this continent were the nations of the people who became known as “Indians” 500 years later...The people who had come over the land bridge from Asia...the only people living in North, South or Central America until the Vikings came here in 1,000 Eric the Red and Lief Ericsonn..and the white man came here in 1500 bringing with him the first tidings of great joy about Jesus and Christianity....no other people lived here...

Meanwhile back to the future to the areas where they spoke Greek...

Back to what is now the northern part of Greece...

To the ancient city of Berea where the inhabitants were known as “Bereans”...now that wasnt hard to figure out...

Luke tells us that Paul was impressed with the Bereans because they heard what he had to say and instead of just taking it at face value, or rejecting it out of hand, they searched the Jewish scriptures to see what the Old Testament prophets had to say about the Messiah...you know the real prophets...

because they were well veresed (Well aquainted with, they had read and re-read the same info that Paul was giving them)in the Jewish scriptures and they determined to check out what he was preaching...

So Paul said, “Hey these guys and girls or Berea are more noble than the Thessalonians”

Now if the people of the time period 1830-2011 were to also search the scriptures of the Old testament, plus now the available New when they came up against heresy like the book of mormon or the koran, and they wantyed to check, there would be few going after false pro[phets like Mohammmad and Joey Smith...

Of them Paul would say, “Besides the Bereans you too are noble”

and the checkers would just reject the blasphemmy of moprmonism...

why dont they ???

Well it seems Joey Smith and Briggie Young et all all the way down to Ask Tommy all know at least that ONE verse from the Bible and the implications for their fraud if anyone adheres to its instructions...

So the mormon members and those who are being set up to join are threatened with the label of “faithless” etc if they dare question any part of the fantasy that is mormonism...

Instead of being told to “search the scriptures” to see whether what Joey Smith had to say was right or WRONG, they are told to look for a physical and/or emotional indication that Joey Smith was right ONLY...an idgestion type feeling the mormons term a “burni9ng in the bosum”...a quick perursal of the scriptures would confirm that no such clarification is commanded by God...

Howeever the mormons demand it of the people they harass and attempt to force their false religion upon...

and what if the bad stomach bug feeling is not in evidence...the mormons have that covered...

its a lack of faith on the persons part and not any sign that the religion of mormonism that Joey Smith invented in opposition and to attack and replace Christianity just might possibly be FALSE...

While the Bereans were termed noble by God’s proven men, Paul and Luke, dont you think that God would expect us to take the wide open hint and check the scriptures for ourseves 2,000 years later if we have questions about what the blasphemer, unredeemed sinner and habitual criminal Joey Smith had to say ???

So today, Resty, why dontcha act noble ???
