Hyper Real Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just starting at 3:4 does not make any sense.What it means to me is basically be a law abiding Jew and you will do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Songster Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) God desires Man's Faith and Devotion, and His Reason is beyond the limited capabilities of human intelligence and understanding, The person that places God before themselves will find that they have what they need even if it is not always what they want.

Blissful happiness. Humans just think they can find this Bliss in an ever changing ego projected environment external to themself when it is hidden in their beggars pocket the whole time.

Humans just think they can find this Bliss in an ever changing ego projected environment external to themself when it is hidden in their beggars pocket the whole time.Some, in my opinion, think they can find bliss by imagining they can escape from reality by believing in gods, holy spirits, miracles and the likes. Modern man realizes that things like walking on water, a 6000 year Earth, returning from the death is over the top so new 'gods' are picked preferable outside the reach of scientific scrutiny. So then we have quantum spirituality, spiritual realms, energies and the likes. Feel good stuff on the harmless end and sheer manipulation and control over others on the other end.

Dan56 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 "My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil." (Proverbs 3: 1-7 kjv)I think it means what it says, not much interpretation necessary.
