Deuteronomy 23:12-14
Set up a place outside the camp to be used as a toilet area. And make sure that you have a small shovel in your equipment. When you go out to the toilet area, use the shovel to dig a hole. Then, after you relieve yourself, bury the waste in the hole. You must keep your camp clean of filthy and disgusting things. The LORD is always present in your camp, ready to rescue you and give you victory over your enemies. But if he sees something disgusting in your camp, he may turn around and leave.

It’s the same reason why American woman shave their arm pits and their snatches. But real men, like the middle easterners, deal with it, there’s nothing like saying “I’m not Gay” and having your wife wrap her body in a tarp concealing everything but her eyes.
” One day in a nuclear age
They may understand our rage
They build machines that they can’t control
And bury the waste in a great big hole” – Sting, The Black Seam.
Just don’t leave that carbon 14 lying around inside the campsite being disgusting, kids.
What does the LORD! say when you don’t poop in a hole? DEPENDS!
A place outside of the Camp – better known as the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
It’s so cool that we have sewer systems, and treatment plants. We even have indoor water closets. Still when camping this is what you have to resort to. Is the Lord wandering around Seattle? Maybe around the park where the homeless live. Is he out there rescuing and leading the homeless to victory.
All in all good advice here, still it would seem us human beings might be a bit more concerned about disgusting stuff in our camp. And if we aren’t overly concerned someone’s mom will set things straight whether or not god might notice something disgusting.
Looks like Seahawks fans’ prayers were answered with 1:56 left in the game. How’d they do that? Is that in Deuteronomy, too?
@5 I’m more afraid of my mom than your god. That’s why I’m careful about where I deposit my pellets.
@6 Oops. Looks like GB’s prayers work, too. GB tied the game with a field goal. Game goes into OT.
@9 But Seahawks prayers work better. Seattle won in OT.
Hawks will have to play better than this in Arizona. Even God runs out of miracles eventually.
Didn’t the Lord rescue them and give victory over their enemies in Joshua and Judges after Moses died on Mount Moriah?
Now John 18:37
Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”
Ahh yes once again the IDIOT Wabbit leaves its non-thread smelly pellets in the weekly anti-Bible thread. Must be the Seahawks are IDIOT Wabbit’s god. Too bad there isn’t a hole one could open here and bury them too!
@11 Puddy in American football the worst team in the league can beat the best team in the league on any given Sunday. It happens from time to time. Sure the best team can probably wallop the worst team 10 times out of 11 meetings all things remaining the same. This is also true in warfare and many other things we human beings do.
Jumping into our way back machine we would probably find answers to why both sides claimed victory in the same battle, and just how much exaggeration occurred. The fact is those battles may not have even taken place. IN some cases there isn’t a whole lot of archeological evidence and the evidence there is suggests one of the Canaanite tribes who became the Israelis became top dog through more peaceful means than warfare, of which there was a lot in that part of the world.
So I answer you. The lord god did not give them victory over their enemies after Moses died if he ever lived at all.
John wrote to a particular audience in the Gospel of Mark the oldest of the gospels there is no claim that Jesus is king. Why the discrepancy? There are many discrepancies in the gospels so what is the truth? If Pilate had believed Jesus was King of the Jews he would have done the sensible Roman thing and put him in charge of these unruly Jews who are impossible to lead and act like a herd of cats. He would have knocked heads together, and Jesus would have been a King on Earth had he wanted to or not. That is the Roman way of doing things. If Christ died on the cross he was an enemy of the Roman State and not some mere thief, as we don’t remember what the true definition of brigand is these days.
Look forward to your response. Yes there are many out in the who are like Thomas. That in part is what belief is about. If you believe then fine, but that is not the sole and only purpose you are responding is it?
How would this work if I needed to take a dump on Saturday? I mean, isn’t digging a hole breaking the sabbath? What’s a practicing Hebrew to do? Hold it until sundown? I’ll ask a Rebbe.
Also, does this mean I can keep God off my property by not picking up a dog turd or two?
Questions, questions. I should be a theologian.
