[A true Christian would not continue to participate in a club or organization that has a false god as its symbol/patron/mentor.
If these organizations' rituals were brought out into the open, observed and researched, then it would help us put an end to their evilness.]
Virtuosity (Fred Hatchett),
Take care when "preaching" to those that do not follow your personal version of the scripture (or religion in my case).. I take offense at having Bible verses thrown in my face, especially when they are random pickings intended only to prove a point.
I could continue on a biblical debate with you, but 1) don't feel that this is the correct forum and 2) don't feel like wasting my time with you on this subject.
A quick note on false prophets (i.e. those that twist the "word" for their own good)
Jeremiah 14:14-15
Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
*Note: I apologize for putting this on this board, however "virtuosity" has regretibly neglected to put his email address on his profile.
**Further Note: I mean no offense to those that may be offended. I am merely trying to make a point that anyone can pick and choose random "phrases" from the bible to prove their point.

Faced with the Divine, I was asked; "What one gift do you seek?"
I answered ever so meekly; "I seek Honor, Truth, Integrity, and Wisdom, yet those are four. How am I to choose?"
The answer came as a pounding whisper; "The four you seek are but one. I grant thee Compassion; for without it the four make none."
