About Psycotheis
Life is full of hardships and though being as young as I am, I've dealt with a lot over my time. I'll admit, I've never had a death of a loved one, getting stung by a bee, had cancer, or died and revived so I can live to tell about it, I still have some know hows on how to deal with it all. I know things here and there that have nothing to do with anything but it helps in times of need. Its all a matter of paying attention and figuring out what could have, would have, or should have been done.
I can give great advice sometimes, buts a matter of fact that you can't just read it and go,"That's a great idea, I might do that..." Take into account that advice is only as good as the person who uses it, not the person who gives it...
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.
George Eliot
English novelist (1819 - 1880)
Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us.
Horace Mann
US educator (1796 - 1859)
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:2
We are, each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another.
Luciano de Crescenzo
A man does not have to be an angel in order to be a saint.
Albert Schweitzer
French philosopher & physician (1875 - 1965)
God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.

I am not Christian, but an answer from Christians or non-christians will work. Why is it that many things in the bible tell you to do and believe things that in America are illegal and also seem VERY immoral and hateful. I thought we were supposed to love our neighbor as ourself? For instance; deuteronomy 21:18-21; it is saying basically to kill teen girls for no reason; and Exodus 35:2; it is saying that if you work on sabbath or sunday then you should be killed; also deuteronomy 22:13-21; it says that girls that are not virgins when they marry are to be killed, what about rape? and plus, just because someone makes a mistake they should be killed? I am so confused. I was once Christian but not anymore...
Thanks for your advice, if you can answer these...
Ask and you shall receive.
You cant base experiences off of the Old Testament. Most of those rules actually worked at the time as a way to scare people into submission. In addition, Deuteronomy is at the beginning of the Bible. So the rules and laws were extremely old and aren't used in our time(except in third world countries). In that time, every punishment was death simply because everyone fears it. Thus, control over the people.
If you really want to see the good of the Bible, you have to read the New Testament. Jesus teachings are the base of the Christian faith. Reading the Old Testament is simply a way to show us how powerful and amazing our God is as well as the origin of our Faith. The New Testament is to show how we should lead our lives from the time of Christ on. The parables are the best things to read, because they tend to help a lot in such situation. If you do continue to read the Old Testament, don't look find the things that are negative, search for the good that the Bible truly shows. Seek and you will find, my friend.
Knock and the door will be opened for you.
