I CAN READ ENGLISH AND CAN UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE! WHAT ? YOU THINK I'M SOME KIND OF BEAST
ECCLESIASTES 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of men , that GOD might manifest them, and that might see that they themselves are beasts.
Psalm 73:22So foolish was l, and ignorant: I was was a beast before thee. One of the fondest remembrances as growing up as a kid was being invited to the prettiest girl in the class birthday party. So there we were, a dozen little male beasts sat around admiring the little female beasts in the room not knowing quite what to do. A wise parent put on a record on called, MICKEY MONKEY. There we were as little beasts dancing around imitating beasts and the party was on. As I grew up I required the taste for wearing beast clothes: black cashmere coats and fur Dillinger hats and to my secret delight my friends now called me MIKE DOG. Of course I went to an physical altar years later and repeated after some Preacher and thought I got saved. Ecclesiastes 3:18 for that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beast, even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so the a man no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. I was a dumb dog, a beast without knowledge concerning the hidden wisdom of God and no more saved than a dog walking down the street. 2 Corinthians 2:12But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost. But of course every dog must have his day, so with bible in hand and self-righteousness in heart: I was now saved ,sanctify and full of the Holy Ghost. But to God I was still liken unto a beast. I had no spiritual understanding of His word or His laws.PSALMS 49:20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beast that perish.God needs to give us a understanding heart and not a beast heart.1 kings 3:12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and understanding heart. Daniel 4:16 let his heart be changed from man's , and let a beast's heart be given unto him. There is an honour that comes from men and that is all most men want. JOHN 5:44How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from GOD only. To be called: deacon, Pastor, brother, head of the usher board, put in charge of Pastors Appreciation committee, foot washing towel committee, kleenex committee, do not steal my car committee: while I pretend to worship God committee, and so on. All the above is to be in man's admiration, so from mike dog to atomic spiritual dog. PSALMS 72:22So foolish was I,and ignorant I was like as a beast before thee. Luke 6:26 Woe unto you, when all men speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Back in those days of darkness we loved to go eat out after Church and pray over our physical food; to appear holy before men and made sure we did not work on Sunday but required others had to work so we could be served in the market place. Matthew 23:7And greeting in the markets and to be called of men, Rabbi,Rabbi.
