Re: [TruthTalk] Cross

[Blainerb473]

Blainerb:   It is common knowledge that the morning star is Venus.  Thus it is an obvious symbol of Jesus Christ, as it represents the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord as it alternates between shining as the evening star and the morning star.  As either, it is the brightest star in the heavens.   In Rev. 22:16 Jesus even calls himself "the Bright and Morning Star.   Likewise, the North Star, never failing to give us a constant bearing on direction to follow,  is a symbol of Jesus Christ and his gospel, which if adhered to, can lead to salvation, or, in other words, a "safe harbor."   I see nothing  in these assertions that would warrant Dean's scornful com-   ments below.     :In a message dated 12/13/2005 7:13:22 P.M. Mountain Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Except it is not Biblical.  (Not that you would care.) iz   Blainerb:  Revelation 2:28  "and I will give him the morning star . . . (the morning star here symbolizes the first resurrection from the dead--those who come forth in the morning of the first resurrection . . .) Revelation 22:16   ""I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.  I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." cd (Dean) : If you used these stars to remember Christ why don't you live by his words who told us to remember the cross? Add these to you collection of stars. Amos 5:26 But you have borne the tabernacle of your Molock and Chium your image, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.27 Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity...  Isaiah 47;13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.14 Behold they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them, they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame:... And just think Dave say there is no fire in hell-Mormons have it backwards God does not like people that look to stars and Blain thinks we should all throw our crosses away and get stars-but coming from one that said Smith should have killed the preacher who told him what the bible said instead of merely beating him across the yard-I would expect such as this.
