The word ‘omnipresent’ is never found in the original languages used, to write the word of God in the Bible, although, depending on the religious inclination of the translator, it is possible that later translations may have it. We are lucky to have manuscripts of the scriptures dating as far back as the 1st and 2nd century of the Christian era (See image below). The advent of the computer age made it easier to search the entire Bible in just a click of a keypad. Nobody can ever (in this age) understand the whole being of God. (Isaiah 55:8-9) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” As the heaven is unfathomable, God’s thinking and ways are like the unfathomable heavens to the earthlings. 04

We are not allowed by any authority in the Bible to ascribe anything to God, whether it seems like adding honor and glory to Him! Why? God does not change. He is infinitely the same from everlasting to everlasting.

their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

because our teacher from heaven said so.

mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

(John 4:24) “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

He sits in yonder heavens and Jesus, our Lord, sits at the right hand of His majesty.

(James 1:17) “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

God is limited to being true and faithful, He cannot lie! I’m not putting limit unto Him, His words say so. It is impossible for Him to lie!

He is love because it was written.

The teachings of the deceived Mormon’s that God is a person just like us in the beginning and attained exaltation only after sometime, is Biblically false. We can neither, by our belief, add to His glory nor diminish it by our unbelief. (Romans 3:3-4) “For what if some did not believe? shall

(Titus 1:2) “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began...” (Hebrews 6:18 ) “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us...” We know that God is a spirit

He is not in places where “confusion dwells ”

(1 John 4:16, 8 ) “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him...” “...He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” He is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:29) “For our God is a consuming fire.” He is compassionate and ever loving. (Psalms 103:14) “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.” He is good. (Psalms 100:3-5) “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his

(Colossians 3:1) “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” (Hebrews 8:1) “Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens...” One strict prohibition of the Bible is for us to accept the word of God as it is. Nothing must be added or taken away. (Revelation 22:18-19) “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Jeremiah 26:2) “Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the

but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

(Proverbs 30:5-6) “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”

(James 3:16, 15) “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.”

The Bible says that the eyes of God are everywhere.

He is not in places where confusion dwells.

(Proverbs 15:3) “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”

(1 Corinthians 14:33) “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”

If God is everywhere, as other religions claim, the Bible should not have said that the eyes of the Lord are in every place. It will contradict the law of logic. Does it mean that the eyes of God, His very eyes, are everywhere? Of course, not! His eyes are in His being; but can see even beyond the material universe we know. God is in heaven, according to the prayer taught by our Lord Jesus Christ to the disciples. (Matthew 6:9-13) “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,

God is not in a place where there are evil strife and envy.

It is an insult to God for anybody to say that He is everywhere. The disrespectful are trying to drag God to every place they want Him to be: In the casinos? The prostitution dens? In the place of demons? God forbids! This is the teaching of the misled, the blinded, and the wicked.

(2 Chronicles 15:3) “Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.”

Himself? God forbids!

But when they were following His statutes and judgments, God was with them, and not in any nation on earth.

My God — the Almighty God — is not in a heart that deceives people like other religious leaders. Praise be unto Him, forever and ever. Amen!

(2 Kings 5:15) “And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.”

(Job 13:7) “Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?”

To my readers, are you one of those who are trying to discredit God by ascribing to Him false qualities that He does not ascribe to

(Acts 17:24) “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands...” He even left His chosen nation, Israel, when they turned to be wicked.

Even the knowledge and understanding of the mysteries in the Bible is not attainable by human efforts but, is given by God.

MODERN KNOWLEDGE IN THE PRIMITIVE BOOK OF REAL BRAINY PEOPLE

(Mark 4:11-12) “And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” Because no human intelligence can fathom the deep things of God, there are those like Marshall Brain that pervert or wrestle the word of God.

Marshall Brain’s (author of whywontgodhealamputees. com) allegation that the Bible is full of anti-scientific nonsense is completely baseless and stupid. But we must not be surprised to find people like him who do not only doubt but, are denying the truth written in the Holy Book. The Bible tells us so. (Matthew 19:11) “But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.” 10

(2 Peter 3:16-17) “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.” No wonder, people like Brain are trying all possible nonsense to malign the Bible and its source: God Almighty. (Galatians 1:7) “Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ”

The Bible is a sealed book; and can only be understood by divine intervention. (Luke 24:45) “Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures...” But what kind of people are those who will not (in any manner) understand the Scriptures? The Bible calls them wicked. (Daniel 12:9-10) “And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Who are the wise who will understand? Hosea 14:9 says: “Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.” The wise, the prudent, and the just will understand. No wonder anybody alleging that the Bible is full of anti-scientific nonsense is not just prudent and wise. Let us prove this. Brain alleged that the Bible was written by primitive people who have no knowledge of science at all. Thanks for his ignorance of the kind of people who wrote the Bible. If the Bible was not divinely inspired, how can primitive people write scientific facts long before they were understood by e s o r i a n o . w o r d p r e s s . c o m

modern science? David knew and wrote that stars and other heavenly bodies wax old and will vanish away. (Psalms 102:25-26) “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed...” The presence of black holes in the vast space of the universe which, according to science, are remains of a star that collapsed, proves the scientific precision of what was written by David about 3,000 years ago. The scientific fact that the earth is hanging on an empty space in the universe is a divine information and a scientific truth that was written by a ‘primitive’ man many thousands of years ago. (Job 26:7) “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.” The recent findings of modern scientists, that human beings are not to be considered herbivore or omnivore, but frugivore, proves another scientific fact written by Moses in the book of Genesis many millennia ago. (Genesis 2:16) “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat...”

There are people even scientists that believe that humans evolve from apes and other lower forms of life. They claim that evolution is guided by two important factors: Natural Selection and Survival of the fittest. If it is true that we evolve from apes, then we should have developed, by natural selection, enzymes for the digestion of cellulose like those that are very much present in apes and other herbivores; But until now, science can attest to the fact that human beings do not posses in his digestive system, the enzyme called cellulase that digest the cellulose in plants. Saliva pH Varies Widely Among Species The saliva pH of various species is another determinant of their natural diet. In carnivores, their saliva glands are small and secrete an acid saliva having little or no effect on starch, which makes sense since flesh is virtually starch-free. Omnivores (like pigs) have tremendous salivary glands that secrete copious quantities of starch-splitting enzymes. Humans only have one starchsplitting enzyme, versus a multitude of them in omnivores and other natural starch-eating animals. Our ptyalin is very limited. This rules us out as being true granivores (starch-eaters) which includes grains and cereals. Frugivores have salivary glands that secrete alkaline saliva, containing only moderate amounts of ptyalin, which initiates starch digestion. This tells us that humans and other frugivores can easily digest the small amount of starch contained in fresh fruits, nuts, and leafy greens, and

all the enzymes necessary to digest all nutrients in a fruit (especially its sugar content that is food for the brain), proves that we are frugivore; and proves the scientific excellence and knowledge in the Bible written by supposedly primitive men.

“The fact that the human body has all the enzymes necessary to digest all nutrients in a fruit,... proves that we are frugivore;” that humans are not intended to subsist on a diet of highly starchy grain foods as many currently do. (Diabetes mellitus is largely the result of consuming large amounts of refined sugars and starches. Even eating predominantly of whole grains and natural legumes as dietary staples can be injurious because of the need for excessive starch digestion). Another striking truth is that, although humanity has, for thousands of years, been consuming grains and starchy foods, his system has not developed the right enzyme necessary to break down or digest starches in raw grains and cereals. If evolution is true, as other anti-Bible scientists believe, mankind (in its long history) consuming such food stuffs must have developed the necessary digestive enzymes needed for the proper assimilation of these foods in their raw states. The fact that the human body has

In summary, meat is not a suitable item of diet for humans for the following physiological reasons: 1. Flesh eating animals have a short

intestine and bowel enabling them to rapidly expel the putrefactive flesh, while humans have a long, complicated alimentary canal which enables plant nutrients to be slowly absorbed and assimilated; Flesh eaters have a different type of intestinal bacterial flora than non-meat eaters (including humans); Flesh eaters have long sharp teeth, whereas humans have the teeth of frugivores; Humans can grind their jaw, but flesheaters cannot: their jaws move vertically only; Humans sweat through their skin (as do other non meat-eaters such as horses, cows, monkeys, antelopes etc.) whereas flesh-eaters sweat through their tongues; Humans suck their liquids, whereas carnivores lap their liquids; Human saliva contains ptyalin (to commence starch digestion), whereas flesh-eaters have no ptyalin; Flesh-eaters secrete 10 times the quantity of hydrochloric acid in to the stomach than does a human (at a concentration much greater as well). This enables carnivores to cope with ingested bone, flesh, feathers, sinews,

etc. True meat-eaters take nourishment from practically the whole prey not just muscle and selected organ meat as do humans;

9. Carnivores have large livers to aid in detoxifying the blood, and to generate massive bile secretion, but humans have a comparatively smaller liver. 10. Carnivores generate the enzyme uricase to metabolize uric acid, a naturally occurring waste product in meat. Humans do not generate nor metabolize uricase. As a result, uric acid is absorbed, which leads to agerelated disease. When humans started eating meat they did not over a period of thousands of years, develop fangs, claws, the ability to secrete uricase, or the concentrated hydrochloric acid solution which characterizes true carnivores. You need but examine the Eskimos who, perhaps, have eaten meat the longest to confirm this. Species adapt very slowly to changed environmental conditions. Another top of the line scientific knowledge written by supposedly primitive men that highlights the scientific supremacy of the Bible is written in 1 Corinthians 15:39. “All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.” The apostle Paul has no knowledge at all of the DNA or the genes in any living flesh. When he wrote that human flesh is different from animal flesh, he is writing scientific information that will only be understood by humanity through the science of genealogy. 14

Genealogy is a new branch of science that studies the genes and the DNA of living organisms. It is wonderful to know that although, physically, there seems to be no difference at all between a human and an animal flesh, but by the study of the DNA in humans and that of animals, science was able to determine the exact difference of the two — proving that the Bible is a no-nonsense and is not an antiscientific book. The recent study of human DNA can trace where on earth civilization has started. The fact discovered by DNA scientists has established the trail from where global population originated: and it points to where, according to the Bible, Adam and Eve first lived. There are hundreds of modern scientific information written in this supposedly primitive book which we cannot tackle and finish on one posting; but I believe that anybody with ‘brains’ can perceive and see the glaring truth that the Bible has in its pages. I pray to God that their brains be fed by sugars from a fruit and not the protein from an animal, which is the delight of carnivorous people.

“Even the knowledge and understanding of the mysteries in the Bible is not attainable by human efforts but, is given by God.”

Conscience and the Bible

The Bible does not only speak of scientific things, historical, social and moral but also psychological things in life. (Romans 14:21) “It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.”

Although it is not prohibited in the Bible to eat animal meat, the preceding verse was cited by the apostle Paul as a warning to Christians not to offend fellow Christians. It is a kind of admonition which can be considered psychologically sound and healthfully good. (I Timothy 4:3-5) “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.” When it said, “it is good not to eat flesh and to drink wine”, [if it is an offense to anybody]; it does not only speak of social things but of scientific aspects as well. Eating meat or flesh of animals and drinking wine is common to drunkards. The word “flesh” used in the verse is kreas, which means animal meat.

G2907 kreas kreh’-as Perhaps a primary word; (butcher’s) meat: flesh. (Strong’s Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries Dictionaries of Hebrew and Greek Words taken from Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance by James Strong, S.T.D., LL.D., 1890.) Scientifically, human beings are not designed to be meat eaters or carnivores. If we study our physical being, our body’s design is very much different from natural meat eaters. Carnivores or meat eaters have fangs designed to kill, sharp claws designed to tear flesh, short intestines (about 3 times the length of its body) for the quick disposal of the waste product of meat containing putrefacted materials. They have highly acidic saliva and digestive enzymes needed for the digestion of flesh, bones, feathers and a remarkable enzyme uricase that digest and expels uric acid, a highly toxic by-product of meat. They have large liver that helps in the detoxification of the chemical by-products of meat. Whereas human beings which is naturally born a frugivore have fangs, but not sharp, meaning it is not intended to kill. Our fingers were not equipped with sharp claws needed to tear flesh. Our intestine is 12 times the length of our body that allows the longer stay of fruits and vegetables without harmless by-products (needed for proper and complete assimilation of nutrients in them). Our liver is not as large as those of natural meat eaters because fruits and vegetables and nuts do not have plenty of toxic by-products for the liver to neutralize. Our saliva is alkaline and with little ptyalin needed to digest the small amount of starch in fruits and vegetables. Considering all these factors we know that we are not natural meat eaters and therefore it is scientifically sound to say it is good (for humans) neither to eat animal flesh nor drink wine. Wine, (those that are intoxicating) is equally not fit for human consumption. Scientific

studies show that alcohol and other fermented materials in wine cause a lot of unhealthy effects in the human body. Heavy alcohol use destroys the liver, the body’s primary filtering system, which means that germs of all kinds won’t leave your body as fast. The result is, heavier drinkers are more prone to initial infections as well as secondary complications. Alcohol also dehydrates the body — it actually takes more fluids from your system than it puts in. Alcohol is the number one drug of choice for teenagers. Alcohol-related car crashes are the number one killer of teenagers in the United States. Alcohol is the number one drug problem in America Nausea and sickness Too much alcohol can irritate the stomach, leading to sickness and nausea, and can lead to temporary impotence in men. Alcohol has a dehydrating effect, and the traditional hangover arrives partly as a result. However, it is the longer term effects which worry doctors. Too much alcohol over a prolonged period can affect nearly every organ in your body. Alcohol is essentially a poison, and the cumulative effects can be horrific. Long term drinkers can suffer liver damage, as the liver is the organ that processes the alcohol and removes it from the body. Liver damage There are three types of damage - fatty liver, in which fat is deposited in the liver, impairing its function, alcohol hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver which can cause severe symptoms and lead in some cases to alcoholic cirrhosis, which can eventually cause liver failure if the drinker does not stop. The first two stages are

usually reversible, whereas cirrhosis has no cure.

those of the mouth, esophagus, liver, stomach, colon, rectum, and perhaps breast cancer in women.

Heavy drinkers can suffer from chronic gastritis essentially a daily recurrence of hangover style nausea and sickness. They can also suffer damage to the esophagus.

Harming unborn children Heavy drinking, even in one-off binges, by pregnant women can harm their unborn child.

Pancreatitis is a common problem in heavy drinkers - this is an extremely painful condition which is hard to treat, and sometimes fatal.

It can lead to miscarriage, low birth weight, and, in the worst cases, to fetal alcohol syndrome, a group of defects which can include lowered IQ, facial malformations and growth deficiencies.

Brain damage is also possible in some cases alcoholic dementia is often found in very longterm drinkers. Heart disease and stroke However, it is damage to the heart and circulatory system that place many drinkers at risk. Drinking over the recommended limits is one of the most common causes of high blood pressure, which can contribute to heart disease.

Many studies have found suggestions that moderate alcohol drinking, for example one or two units a day, can have a protective effect against in particular heart disease.

Drinking heavily is also likely to greatly increase the calorific intake, perhaps leading to obesity, which also increases these health risks. Regularly drinking more than three units of alcohol a day increases the risk of a type of stroke called hemorrhagic stroke. It can also contribute to osteoporosis, lead to muscle weakness, make skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema worse. In men, there is likely to be a loss of libido and potency, shrinking of the testicles and penis, reduced fertility, loss of pubic hair and if cirrhosis is present, increased breast size and loss of body hair. In women, ovulation may cease, and breasts and sexual organs shrivel. Many cancers are alcohol-related, particularly

conscience. It may accuse or excuse our own self and other people. Do you feel the same?

This has yet to be conclusively proven, as it is not clear whether it is the alcohol, or some other ingredient in the drink, which is having the effect. By all these scientific wisdom we may conclude that the Bible is a no nonsense book. But what I admire most in the Bible being the words of the Creator is it can penetrate the depth of one’s being. (Hebrews 4:12-13) “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.” The words of God are so powerful that it can divide asunder the soul and the spirit meaning that it can penetrate the innermost part of our being. In fact it speaks of the conscience and by this we know that it speaks the truth. My dear readers I know that you have your conscience. (Romans 2:15) “Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another...” You can feel how truthful this pronouncement of the Scriptures. Our conscience bears witness of the existence of God. The Bible exactly tells us what is happening inside our being or in our 18

I hope that you will be honest enough in your reply; after all, it is not my business knowing your conscience, but yours. In our conscience also, the Bible tells us that there are”things of the law” written by God. Even if we have not heard the audible voice of our Creator, we know that our conscience can tell us of what is right and what is wrong. Verily, these are the things contained in God’s law: what is right — the dos, and what is wrong — the don’ts. (Romans 2:14) “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:” Considering all these facts do you now agree with me that the Bible does not only speak of scientific but also psychological matters. God knows our being, He knows our promptings. Solomon, with his God-given wisdom, once judge two quarreling women: each claiming that the baby boy is her son. He rendered judgment and said, “Divide the boy into two.” And the real mother gave up her son for it not to be divided. (I Kings 3:16-27) “Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him. And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house. And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house. And this woman’s child died in the night; because she overlaid it. And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I

had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear. And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spoke before the king. Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living. And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king. And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other. Then spoke the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it. Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.” Do you now believe that the Bible speaks of psychological matters? What am I trying to prove by narrating all these things? I want you to realize the Bible is a no-nonsense book. It comes from somebody who know even our conscience which cannot be known by the dearest and the most intimate of our relatives. It is known only to God. (Jeremiah 17:9-10) “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” You might say, “So what if there is a God?” I am trying to convince you to believe that we came into existence because of a loving God who is always waiting for us to acknowledge him. There are fools, who do not believe in God. (Psalms 53:1) “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Corrupt are they, and

have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.” No amount of intelligence and knowledge that an atheist may possess can make him a good and better person, than to acknowledge the existence of God who created him and his neighbors. The best men in the whole history of humanity (men with human considerations, pity, justice, loving-kindness, moral aptitude and great leaders) all believe in God. I know that there was once a tyrant and demonic leader who caused the death and unspeakable sufferings of about nine (9) million people, and that person does not believe in God. Have you heard of Hitler? My advice is that for you to investigate. My goal in preaching and teaching the Gospel to other people is to convince them to believe in God: the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth, because I know in my conscience, had it not been for my acknowledgment of the existence of a great God, perhaps I would just be like those fine looking people who hide a monster in their conscience. Belief in God will make you a better person, more caring and more considerate to others — and that is the element of a more peaceful society of humans. Unbelief will not make you good, but 100% evil. (Romans 3:10-18) “As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.” God Bless,
