Re: [CTRL] STRONG DELUSION

[David Sutherland]

-Caveat Lector- More on biblical tales and woidizms!   Note in the Old Testament the probable mention of midget aliens being extant in earths arcane ages. (Please stay me now). See for example this enigmatic text in the book of Job, which refers to a mysterious alien creature no taller than a shoe!   "...Bildad the Shuhite ..." Job 2:11   It is well known that the ancients had advanced technology (ahmmm), but a little less known fact is the knowledge of the Egyptian Open wherein the patriarch Joseph played tennis! For the book of Genesis tells the tale whence Joseph served in Pharaohs court!   Of course, need we mention the mention of the first baseball games in the Bible?   In the Big Inning, Eve stole first, Adam stole second. Cain struck out Abel, and the Prodigal Son came home. Whilst the Giants and the Angels were rained out!   We also know that alternative therapies most likely originated in the bible.  Again, from the sacred book of Job, we are told that Job went to a chiropractor. For in Job 16:12 we read, "I had come to be at ease, but he proceeded to shake me up and he grabbed me by the back of the neck and proceeded to smash me."    Continuing with our foray into advanced technologies of the bible, we note many allusions to motorised vehicles.   Such as the following: David's Triumph was heard throughout the land as was the roar of Moses' Triumph heard in the hills! Also note the mention of a Honda, because the apostles were all in one Accord in the book of Acts. Whilst prophet Elijah donned the worlds first bumper sticker, "My other car is a flaming chariot"!   Modern day advocates for the use of marijuana may perhaps find support in the scriptures. Precedent can be found in the holy book of Daniel, wherein the legendary king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, lived on grass for seven years. After his stint on the grass, the visionary king is healed and finds god! (cf Daniel ch 4).   Dave     ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nakano Nakamura" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, February 02, 2003 10:41 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] STRONG DELUSION > -Caveat Lector- > > Chuck Baldwin writes: > "According to the Scriptures, people who reject truth > are destined to receive "strong delusion."
