I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals. I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making. I've had all I can take of your noisy ego-music. When was the last time you sang to me? Do you know what I want? I want justice—oceans of it. I want fairness—rivers of it. That's what I want. That's all I want." Amos 5:21 the first person to say in a response, the words Democrat or Republican will have to stand in the corner for a week.

Guest Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not take delight in your solemn assemblies. Though you offer me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fatted beasts. Take away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your harps. But let justice run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amo 5:21-24 (KJ2000) What translation are you using Stan? Quote

Members phkrause Posted November 25, 2009 Members Posted November 25, 2009 So its not a translation but a paraphrase. Talk about making it up to date and personal. Not sure that I like the way he paraphrased it. But it says a lot though. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Woody Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I have nothing to say. The rules of this thread prohibit it. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Administrators Gail Posted November 26, 2009 Administrators Posted November 26, 2009 That saves you a trip to the corner, eh? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Woody Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I'll start headin' there anyways. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Moderators Bravus Posted November 26, 2009 Moderators Posted November 26, 2009 My paraphrase (for a simple guy)(hopefully timeless): "God wants justice" Quote Truth is important
Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted November 26, 2009 Administrators Posted November 26, 2009 And His sense of justice is all about setting things right. That requires great mercy and compassion for all the victims of sin. Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)
