You might want to consider trading in that mystical bible for a slightly more traditional version... ;)

Oh..so according to Jeffrey one version is better than another?

(I'd also recommend dropping your cable tv and internet service.)

Like you have?

revelation 7:3 [snip] have we miss something important

Revelation 7:2-3
Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.

I guess that would all depend on which 'mark' you take... ;)

(It kinda explains the current 'us vs them' phenomenon though, don't it?)
It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . .

Is this what you were looking for:

Genesis 2:15
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

Adams only job was to take care of the garden... While earth may be a punishment, I'm quite sure God didn't intend for us to trash it... ;)

I wonder if God is angry with me for not calling Him Jesus... ;)

And you would be right, but God does take offense to false teaching and false doctrine...

Romans 16:17-18
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

They might 'think' they are doing good, but deceiving the hearts of the simple is not a good thing... ;)
