Ezekiel 25-27

[wolfpurplemoon]

Oh, ok, the neighbours are getting a bit of punishment too, God addresses a whole bunch of them individually and explains their fates, such as becoming slaves, destroying cities, destroying the knowledge of them (the fact they are mentioned in the bible means that's not true), killing everyone, becoming desolate or bare rock, rising sea levels flooding the land and getting a lament sung about you. Tyre/Tyrus sounds like it was a very prosperous and bustling place, there's nothing in the lament that explains why such a place would deserve being reclaimed by the sea.

Just curious why you chose to use one of the most difficult books of the bible for your evaluation of God. Why not Phillipians or James- boks that let you see a little glimpse of the One who is giving you each breath that you are taking right now..........

Dear Curiously Anonymous Detractor,

Are you saying that James or Philippians (one L, three Ps, by the way) contain the Word of God, but the Prophet Ezekiel does not?

Breathing, by the bye, is provided by the autonomic nervous system. No improbable deities required.

I'm reading the whole bible from cover to cover so I'm just commenting on what I read as I get to it. But surely God is in every book so readers should be able to evaluate God throughout the bible?
