Psalms Part V

Psalms Part V

     Here we go with Psalms Part V for the questions I have in regards to what is written in the Bible. If you have any answers please post them in the comments section after each posting. If you think there are questions that should have been asked please be sure to post those questions as well.

     Keep in mind that when it comes to things of a spiritual nature/religious nature it is of the utmost importance to question whatever it is you have decided to believe in, or what you might be considering believing in. Do not make the mistake of treating your belief as something cheap and useless. Take care of your belief and be very discriminating in choosing what you decide to believe in.

1. Psalm 33:13-14

     13 From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;

     14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—

Questions

     1. If the Lord/God exists EVERYWHERE why would He need to be looking down on mankind from above the earth? Why does this verse make it sound like there is some kind of distance involved when God/the Lord is supposed to be everywhere? Wouldn't the Lord/God being EVERYWHERE negate any kind of distance between God/the Lord and man?

     2. If God/the Lord is everywhere why and HOW does He have a dwelling place?

2. Psalm 33:16

     16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

Questions

     1. If no king is saved by the size of his army, and if no warrior escapes by his great strength...do these things also apply to God/the Lord? Why not? 

     2. Do the so-called enemies of God/the Lord know what this verse says and what it means?

     3. Is this verse, like so many others like it, simply a scare tactic to try to keep people from fighting against God/the Lord or thinking contrary to how He wants people to think?

3. Psalm 33:18

     18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

Questions
     1. Why would the eyes of the Lord be on those who fear Him? Does the Lord have some kind of NEED for those who fear Him? Does the Lord feed off of the fear? 

     2. Does God/the Lord NEED fear in order to survive?

4. Psalm 34:11

     11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 

Questions
     1. If God/the Lord is so beautiful and wonderful and full of power...why teach fear?

     2. What does teaching fear accomplish?

     3. What kind of vibration is released by fear, and does God/the Lord need this vibration of fear to complete some kind of purpose or satisfy some kind of need?

5. Psalm 34:18

     18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Questions
     1. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted? Why? Have you ever been around someone who is brokenhearted? They don't release a very good vibe, do they? Does God/the Lord need bad, unhappy vibes?

6. Psalm 35:10

     10 My whole being will exclaim, “Who is like you, Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them.”

Questions
     1. If the Lord is so great why would there be the need to rescue the poor and those lacking in strength in the first place?

     2. If the Lord is so great and JUST why are the poor and the needy being robbed?

7. Psalm 35:28

     28 My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.

Questions
     1. Proclaim righteousness all day long? Have you ever tried to talk for more than just a few hours at a time, I mean straight talking and talking? It is very hard, isn't it? Your voice gets all rough and cracked, doesn't it? Why would the Lord want you to do this all day long?

     2. Does the Lord/God NEED to be praised all day long? Why? Why would the all great and powerful need anything, much less anything all day long?

8. Psalm 36:8

     8 They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.

Questions
     1. Sooo, the Lord feeds folks from His river of delights? This sounds totally creepy, doesn't it? Kind of like Hansel and Gretel feeding on a house of delights, right? The Lord makes mighty promises and gives little trinkets of life and splendor here and there. Why does He do this?

9. Psalm 37:4

     4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Questions
     1. Oh, promises upon promises. Isn't this lovely? And people say that the Lord wants nothing from those who believe in Him. Right. What the Lord wants is the attention, the devotion...the DELIGHT of people. In fact, He wants it so badly He is willing to make gargantuan promises, isn't He? He will even promise to give you the desires of your heart, right? Not that far off from promising 72 virgins, right?

10. Psalm 40:2

     2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

Questions
     1. This sounds like a plug for evolution, right? Lifted you out of a slimy pit? You mean like from a little bacterial cell that was undeveloped, and afterward He took those cells and changed them around a bit so you could develop legs and stand?

11. Psalm 40:3

     3 He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.

Questions
     1. Notice that the song was PUT into the mouth of the individual in this verse, right? Does it say the person came up with the song on their own? Nope. It says it was PUT there. Does this mean that someone's mind can be totally screwed with by the Lord, hummm?

     2. Sooo, if the Lord/God needs fear in order to live, what better way to seed loads of fear than by developing ways to control the minds of people and spreading the news of that kind of power?

12. Psalm 42:2

     2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?

Questions
     1. Is this part of the Lord's/God's mind control over man, to make man feel like he needs and absolutely thirsts for God/the Lord?

13. Psalm 46:10

     10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Questions
     1. If God/the Lord is all-powerful and is everywhere at all times what the fuck kind of sense does it make for Him to say some stupid shit like "I will be exalted" when He is already supposed to be the ultimate, and therefore the MOST exalted?

14. Psalm 48:14

     14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.

Questions
     1. This is so stupid, right? How in the fuckey-doo can God be your God forever and ever is there is a goddamn end, hummm?

15. Psalm 49:13-14

     13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings.

     14 They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.

Questions
     1. Oh look! More suspicious threats from the Lord/God, right? Why make such ridiculous threats? What does God have against the man who trusts himself? Is it because that would be taking food from the mouth of God/the Lord?


16. Psalm 50:3
     3 Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.

Questions
     1. First things first, right? How can God/the Lord 'come' when He is already supposed to be everywhere? Does not the word 'come' infer an absence? If God/the Lord is absent in ANY fashion then He is not Omni-Present, is He? That would revoke His ultimate status now, wouldn't it?


17. Psalm 50:4
     4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:

Questions
     1. If God/the Lord is everywhere why would He need to summon anything or anyone?


18. Psalm 50:22
     22 Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with no one to rescue you:

Questions
     1. Now why would God/the Lord threaten to not forget Him? Does He NEED to be remembered in order to exist?


19. Psalm 51:17
     17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

Questions
     1. Is this God/the Lord in a nutshell? He WANTS you to suffer and to be broken and to be contrite and to be simply fucking miserable so He can feed on your sorrow and misery? 

     2. So if you give your broken and sorrowful and contrite self to God as a sacrifice He will not despise you? Is that fucked up or what?


20. Psalm 55:17
     17 Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.

Questions
     1. If you believe in God/the Lord and He is so powerful and loving, why in the hell are you crying out in distress so freaking often?

Psalms Part I: Just a Few Questions

If you thought the temperament of the Divine was going to improve with a more poetic approach you were sadly mistaken. So sorry to pop your bubble, but I suppose somebody had to. Take a peek at some of these, consider the questions, and then offer some answers.


1. Psalm 1:2
2 but his delight is in Yahweh's law. On his law he meditates day and night.

Questions
1. Have you read some of Jehovah's laws? Do you find them delightful? Do you really think you should meditate on these laws day and night? How about the law that says to stone your kids if they sass you? Or, better yet, how about the law where a rapist can marry his victim? Isn't that delightful?


2. Psalm 1:6
6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

Questions
1. Sooo...how can God know the way of the righteous when He consistently punishes people for things they did not do?

2. But...isn't following God strikingly, suspiciously similar sounding to the way of the wicked since fuck-loads of people drop like flies anytime anyone listens to any of the hair-brained ideas Senor Yahweh stews up?


3. Psalm 2:1-4
1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

3 "Let's break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us."

4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

Questions
1. Well, do you think that maybe the nations are in an uproar because of the bullshit God pulls for His own glorification? I mean, didn't God even fudge the language of the people at the Tower of Babel because He didn't like how they were working together?

2. You can't say the kings take a stand against the Lord ALWAYS of their own accord, right? Doesn't it say in Exodus that it was God/the Lord who hardened Pharaoh's heart against what the Lord wanted? Does that even sound anywhere near ethical?

3. And WHY does God laugh, hummm? Is it because of all the shitty things He gets people to do to each other? What kind of loving father laughs at fighting children?


4. Psalm 3:1
1 Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

Questions
1. Wouldn't this depend on how pissed off at you God is?


5. Psalm 3:3
3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Questions
1. Sure, a shield so long as you do exactly what God wants no matter what, right?


6. Psalm 4:5
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in Yahweh.

Questions
1. Sacrifice of righteousness? How in the fuck can you righteously kill something that did nothing wrong in order to pay for something YOU did wrong?


7. Psalm 4:8
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you, Yahweh alone, make me live in safety. For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.

Questions
1. You mean safety like when a global mega-flood killed all people and animals and plants...with the exception of eight freaking people and a handful of animals on a floating asylum?


8. Psalm 5:4-5
4 For you are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil can't live with you.

5 The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all workers of iniquity.

Questions
1. Really? Well then God must really hate Himself, right?

Job Part IV: Just a Few Questions

This is the second to last posting for the questions for the Book of Job in the Holy Bible. I hope you have been considering the answers to the questions as you have been reading them. I also hope that you will take the time to type in some of your answers in the comments section at the end of each posting.

1. Job 9:17

17 For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.

Questions

1. Shouldn't this verse tell you there is something very wrong with this God?

2. Job 10:8

8 "'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.

Questions

1. This says a lot about God, doesn't it? A God Who creates with the specific intent to destroy? Now...why would an all-powerful being do that? To play games with the helpless? To bring Himself glory through the forced worship of those He creates? For WHAT?

3. Job 11:6-8

6 that he would show you the secrets of wisdom! For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.

7 "Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

8 They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know?

Questions

1. Isn't that just like religion to imply that there really isn't anything man can really know, seek, or do?

4. Job 11:11

11 For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn't consider it.

Questions

1. If God does indeed know falsehood and see iniquity without considering it then the first and last thing He must see in regard to such IS Himself, right?

5. Job 11:13

13 "If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.

Questions

1. How can you set your heart right when God has taken it from your chest? How can you stretch out your hands when God has cut off your arms?

6. Job 12:23-25

23 He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.

24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

25 They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

Questions

1. Aren't these verses the bitter truth about this God of the Bible? Why is this God of Love concerned with destroying, leading astray, and causing to become lost without hope and help?

7. Job 14:1

1 "Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

Questions

1. Is this also a clue as to why God never speaks of His mother, why He harbors such great disdain for women?

8. Job 15:12

12 Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,

Questions

1. Could it be because God is a diabolical bastard Who apparently lives to feed off the fear emitted by man?

Nehemiah: Just a Few Questions

With ALL of these questions posed in regards to the Bible wouldn't it be nice to be able to access the questions in one place instead of flipping between blog postings? Now you can! The questions for the first five books of the Bible, the Pentateuch are now in one compilation, and there is no need whatsoever to flip-flop between various posts! Go here for your copy:
http://www.amazon.com/Turkey-Broth-Spirit-Questions-Pentateuch-ebook/dp/B00GVLQ0CY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1385585976&sr=8-1&keywords=ester+lighthorse


Just as Short as Ezra

Well...hummm, Nehemiah really didn't have that much to offer either. Go figure. My questioning fared about as well as it did in the book of Ezra, thus this post will also be quite short. Good times!

1. Nehemiah 1:11

11 O Lord, please hear my prayer! Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you. Please grant me success today by making the king favorable to me. Put it into his heart to be kind to me." In those days I was the king's cup-bearer.

Questions

     1) The quest is not whether God/the LORD hears BUT whether He gives a shit about what is uttered in prayer, right?

2. Nehemiah 8:2

2 So Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could understand what they heard, on the first day of the seventh month.

Questions

     1) Sooo...were there those who did not understand? Were they stupid, or did God/the LORD just treat them that way on general principles?

3. Nehemiah 8:8

8 They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.

Questions

     1) How many ways do you interpret Thou shalt not kill?

     2) Is not the sense inherent in Thou shalt not kill? Why would this need to be explained or be 'given sense' to? Did the people NOT understand Thou shalt not kill?

4. Nehemiah 9:1-2

1 Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the people of Israel were assembled with fasting and in sackcloth, and with earth on their heads.

2 Those of Israelite descent separated themselves from all foreigners as they confessed their own sins and the sins of their ancestors.

Questions

     1) God is hell-bent on making the people pay for sins they did not do, isn't He? Why the fuck are the people having to confess the sins of their fathers?

5. Nehemiah 9:8

8 When he had proved himself faithful, you made a covenant with him to give him and his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. And you have done what you promised, for you are always true to your word.

Questions

     1) Fucking where? Fucking WHERE has the LORD/God done what He has promised and stuck to His Word?

     2) Isn't the only place where God/the LORD follows through is when it comes to PUNISHMENT and DEATH and SACRIFICING shit so He can get His blood fix?

6. Nehemiah 9:21

21 Forty years you sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell.

Questions

     1) Fucking please. That was 40 years of mental/psychological warfare where there was only one winner, right? The winners were NOT the people of Israel, correct?
