THE HISTORY OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANITY IN ROMANIA
I. Beginning of the Christian life on the territory of our country (Dacian-Roman Christianity)
Saint Andrew, the Apostle of the Gets-Dacians (Scythes). As Romanians, we draw our Christian faith from St Andrews’s activity, who preached on the territory between the Danube and the Black Sea, later on called Dobrudgea, known from the antique sources as “Scythia Minor”.
Christianity in Dacia. In 106, emperor Traian (Trojan) conquered a part of the territory of the former state of the Gets-Dacians, headed by king Decebal, which was turned into a Roman province (Transylvania, Banat, Oltenia and a part of later on Muntenia). As a result of these political territorial changes, favourable conditions for promoting the new teaching in the north of the Danube, too, were created. One could speak of the so-called “informal missionaries” recruited from among colonists, soldiers in the Roman army, merchants and slaves who had adopted the Christian faith before coming to Dacia. In the 3rd century, the number of these “lay” missionaries increased due to certain Christian prisoners whom the Goths – established on the territory north of the Danube – used to bring here from Asia Minor, where Christianity was known as far back as the “apostolic century”. Some of them were ordained as bishops, chorepiscopi, priests and deacons.
Great Christians. Several names of Christians who died a martyr’s death have been known ever since the Gothic persecutions, such as Sava, around Buzau town, in 372, a certain saint Nichita and a few others.
In the province of Scythia Minor and on the territory close to it the number of the Christian martyrs during the persecutions of Diocletian, about 300, was very large. One can mention the following: Zoticos, Atalos, Kamssis and Filipos, all of them from Noviodunum (today’s Isaccea), whose relics have been discovered in a crypt in Niculitel, county of Tulcea (laid at present in the church of the Monastery of Cocos), Chiril, Chindeas and Tasius, at Axiopolis (today’s Cernavoda), priest Epictet and his converted disciple Astion, at Halmyris (today’s Dunavat), Macrobiu, Gordian, Heli, Lucian, Zotic and Valerian, Argeu brothers, Narcis and Marcelin, all of them at Tomis (today’s Constanta). There are other names mentioned, such as: the martyr soldiers Pasicrat, Valentin, Marcian and Nicandru and later on soldier Emilian from the town of Durostorum (today’s Silistra) at the boundary between the provinces of Scythia Minor and Moesia Inferior. Martyrs Quintilian, Maxim the reader and Dadas suffered in the village of Ozobia, near Durostorum.
The Church hierarchy. All the above mentioned information confirms the existence of a Church organisation on the Carpathian-Danubian territories. The historical sources proved that ever since the beginning of the 4th century, as soon as the Edict from Mediolanum was promulgated in the year 313, about 15 episcopal sees were documentary mentioned in various towns on the right bank of the Danube, in the provinces of Pannonia Inferior, Dacia Ripensis and Moesia Inferior (today in Serbia and, especially, in Bulgaria) – at Sirmium, Viminacium, Oescus, Bononia, Marcianopolis, Novae, Appiaria, Abbvitus, Durostorum, whose titular bishops participated in the proceedings of the Ecumenical or local synods. We suppose that these episcopal sees were even earlier than that, at about 300 A.D. During the persecution instituted by Diocletian, a large number of priests died a martyr’s death.
In the 6th century, Scythia Minor was a “metropolitan province” and its titular had become metropolitan, with 14 dioceses in the main towns of the province. All these episcopal sees – Tomis too – were directly related to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, the new capital city of the empire, a principle confirmed by a decision of the 4th Ecumenical Council from Chalcedon, in 451. Therefore, they were related to Rome, through language, and to Constantinople, through faith.
There were also a few remarkable theologians from the same province, out of whom one could mention only two: Saint John Cassian (about 360-435), founder of two monasteries in Marsilia (today’s Marseille, France), the author of several theological works (Conversations with the Parents, On the monastic settlements with community life, On the Incarnation of the Lord a.s.o.) and Dionisius Exiguus (or the “humble one”, about 460-545), translator of some theological and canonical books in Greek, the one who laid the foundations of the present chronological system, counting the years since the birth of Christ (Christian Era).
The massive spreading of Christianity on the territory between the Danube and the Black Sea is also confirmed by about 35 basilicas dating back from the 4th-6th centuries, discovered in the main urban centres of the province: Tomis, Callatis (today’s Mangalia), Tropaeum Traiani (Adamclisi), Histria (Istria), Axiopolis (Cernavoda), Troesmis (Iglitia), Dinogetica (Garvan) etc., as well as by more than one hundred inscriptions on objects with religious character, dating back from the 4th-6th centuries.
II. The Romanians’ religious life, after year 600 until the 11th Century
The data concerning this period are rather scarce. However, the continuity of the Christian life is confirmed by the archaeological discoveries: six churches in a chalk mountain in Basarabi, county of Constanta, certainly a monastic settlement (dating from the 9th -11th centuries, according to certain historians from the 4th -12th centuries), foundations of two churches in the north of Dobrudgea, one in Niculitel (10th -12th centuries), another one in Garvan (former Dinogetia), from the same period. Several crosses and even cross moulds were discovered in various parts of the country, beyond the Prut river, too. The foundations of a church were discovered in Dabaca, about 30 km north-west of Cluj-Napoca (10th -11th centuries), and some others under the Catholic churches in Alba Iulia and Prejmer, country of Brasov, etc.
These discoveries are not only indubitable evidence on the continuity of the Orthodox Romanians in these territories, but also certain proofs of the necessity of some Romanian bishops.
After the invasion of Transylvania by the Hungarian Catholic kingdom (11th – 13th centuries) the so-called “counties” (Bihor, Alba, Hunedoara) were set up instead of the old Romanian political units. The same happened to the Romanians’ religious structures; Hungarian Catholic dioceses were set up instead of the Orthodox dioceses. So, once the “county” in Bihor was set up, with the residence in Biharea, a Latin diocese was created instead of the Orthodox one, that would soon be moved to Oradea, where it remained until more recently, which is also confirmed by some of the Hungarian historians. The seat of Alba county was established in Alba Iulia, where a Roman Catholic diocese was created and which still exists today, instead of the Orthodox one. The Catholic diocese of Morisena (Cenad) was created by king Steven the Saint of Hungary, in 1038, after conquering the city from prince Ohtum or Ahtum (it was also there that Latin monks were brought, in the Orthodox monastery of Saint John the Baptist). So, the Catholic dioceses in Transylvania have been set up on the very places of the old Orthodox episcopal or chorepiscopal sees from Biharea (Oradea), Alba Iulia and Morisena – Cenad. The phenomenon concerning the replacement of some Orthodox churches and monasteries with Catholic ones can be seen also in other parts of Transylvania.
The religious organisation of the Romanians survived in spite of the policy of Catholicization waged by the kings of Hungary, many times instigated by the pope himself. For instance, a letter of pope Inocentius III to the Archbishop of Calocea, in 1205, mentioned an Orthodox diocese “on the estate of knyaz Balea’s sons”. This diocese could have been either round Bihor or round Hunedoara, where knyazes with this name ruled, some of them founders of churches.
III. The Church of Wallachia and Moldova in the Middle Ages (middle of the 14th century – 1821)
In the first half of the 14th century, the state unification of the political units, present in the south and east of the Carpathians, under one ruler, took place. At the same time with the unification of the Romanian knyazates and voivodships in the south of the Carpathians into one independent state, Wallachia, and after the formation of the second state, Moldova, in the east of the Carpathians, the religious unification of the two Romanian independent states took place. Thus, instead of several hierarchs depending on each voievodship, only one was elected, with the name of metropolitan.
In 1359, the Ecumenical Patriarchate recognised officially the Metropolitanate of Ungro-Wallachia or Wallachia, with the see in Arges and its hierarch Iachint, who had been metropolitan of Vicina, in the north of Dobrugea until then. The metropolitanate was moved, in 1517, to Targoviste, and in 1688 to Bucharest, where it remained until today. From 1370 – 1401, the new Metropolitanate of Severin functioned in the territory on the right side of the Olt River. At the beginning of 16th century, the Dioceses of Ramnic and of Buzau were set up, which are still functioning today. From 1793-1949, a Diocese of Arges functioned, reactivated in 1990.
The Metropolitanate of Moldova was first mentioned in 1386. Its confirmation was hardly accepted by the Ecumenical Patriarchate, which intended to impose a Greek hierarch, whereas the country wanted a Romanian one. It was only on 26 July 1401 that the Moldavian Iosif – ordained at Halici and related to the ruler of the country – was recognised as metropolitan. The seat of the Metropolitanate was in Suceava, while in the second half of the 17th century it was moved to Iasi.
It is necessary to underline that in the 14th – 18th centuries the Church in Wallachia and Moldova should be considered as an official State Church – a legacy of Byzantium – holding an important role in the political life of the country and guiding the entire cultural activity and social humanitarian assistance.
Our first printing houses (in Dealu, Targoviste, Colentina-Bucharest, Govora, Campulung, Iasi, then in Bucharest, Buzau, Snagov, Ramnic, Monastery of Neamt) functioned in the precincts of a few monasteries or diocesan seats and the first printers were also clergy: hieromonk Mitrofan, future bishop of Husi and Buzau, Antim Ivireanul, the future metropolitan and so on.
IV. The Romanian Church in Transylvania in the 14th – 18th centuries
There is certain evidence that, in Transylvania – organised as “voievodship” until 1541 – there were some Orthodox archbishops and metropolitans ever since the first quarter of the 14th century. Thus, rather recently, an inscription was discovered in the church of the Monastery of Ramet (county of Alba) mentioning the name of bishop Ghelasie and the year 1377.
As soon as Alba Iulia became the capital town of the autonomous principality of Transylvania – set up in 1541, when Hungary was turned into an Ottoman province – the seat of the Metropolitanate of Transylvania was established in this town (perhaps in 1572), where it remained until the beginning of the 18th century. Here one can mention the pastoral service of the following metropolitans: Ghenadie I (1579-1585), a supporter of deacon and printer Coresi form Brasov, Ioan from Prislop (about 1585 – 1605), in whose time Michael the Brave built a new cathedral and a metropolitan residence in Alba Iulia (1597), Teoctist (about 1605, who died in 1622), Ghenadie II (1627 – 1640), Ilie Iorest (1640-1643; +1678), defender of Orthodoxy, Simion Stefan (1643-1656), in whose time the New Testament from Alba Iulia was printed, in 1648, in its first Romanian edition, Sava Brancovici (1656-1680, +1683), fighter against all attempts to convert the Romanians or other people to Calvinism. Due to their steady fight to defend Orthodoxy, and according to a synodal decision, metropolitans Ilie Iorest and Sava Brancovici were canonised in 1955.
As soon as Transylvania came under the Habsburgs’ rule (1688-1918), a little part of the Romanian clergy and faithful were obliged, through pressure and deceit, to accept the “union” with the Church of Rome (1698-1701), at the time of metropolitan Atanasie Anghel. Consequently, a “split” in the Romanian Church appeared, although only formal, as besides the admittance of the papal primate, all the doctrine, rite and organisation of the United Church remained unchanged. Several monks, priests and faithful defended Orthodoxy, out of whom one can mention: hieromonk Visarion Sarai (1744), who died in Kufstein prison, in Austria, hieromonk Sofronie from Cioara, leader of a peasants’ upheaval between 1759-1761, peasant Oprea Miclaus from Salistea Sibiului, who travelled three times to Vienna with petitions of the Orthodox Romanians and who died in Kufstein, priests Moise Macinic from Sibiel and Ioan from Gales, who died in the same prison, hieromonk Nicodim, archpriest Nicolae Pop from Balomir and priest Ioan from Aciliu, who travelled to Petersburg to get the assistance of tsarina Elisabeta Petrovna for the Romanians persecuted for their faith, archpriest Ioan Piuaru from Sadu, priest Stan from Glamboaca, faithful Ioan Oancea from Fagaras, faithful Tanase Todoran from Bichigiu, Nasaud, broken on wheel – who was canonized in 2008 – and hundreds of other priests and faithful imprisoned or displaced from their villages. Taking into account their firm fight for defending Orthodoxy, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church decided that hieromonks Visarion and Sofronie, as well as faithful Oprea Miclaus be honoured by our Church as confessors of the right faith. In 1992 priests Moise Macinic from Sibiel and Ioan from Gales were listed among saints. All five are celebrated on October 21.
Schools for the children in the adjacent villages used to function, just like beyond the Carpathians, in the precincts of certain monasteries and churches in Transylvania and Banat. A Romanian school of old tradition was the one in the precincts of the church of Saint Nicholas in Scheii Brasovului; most of its pupils became priests at the respective church. Due to their low income, the monasteries could never develop a cultural charitable activity equal to that of the monasteries beyond the mountains. In fact, from 1761-1762, most of the monasteries and sketes present in Transylvania at the time (more than 150) were destroyed by cannons or set on fire, by order of general Nicolai Adolf Bukow, the envoy of Maria Tereza, empress of Austria. Practically, any trace of monastic life disappeared in Transylvania after that period.
V. The Romanian Orthodox Church from 1821-1919 (the “modern” period)
The Revolution with national and social character from 1821, which led to the creation of the Romanian modern state, opened a new epoch for the Romanian Orthodox Church. In January 1859, a first stage of the Romanian political unification took place, through the unification of Moldova and Wallachia, under a single ruler, Alexandru Ioan Cuza (1859-1866). On January 11, 1865, metropolitan Nifon of Ungro-Wallachia received the title of “metropolitan primate”.
At the time of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, a series of measures were taken which led to deep changes in the religious life, required by the changes occurred in the state life (for example, the secularisation of the monasteries’ properties in 1863).
After the proclamation of the state independence of Romania (May 9, 1877), new negotiations with the Patriarchate followed, in view of recognising the autocephaly that was only a formal act, as the Romanian Church had enjoyed a special situation in comparison with other Orthodox Churches, that of a relative autocephaly towards the Ecumenical Patriarchate. It was only just on April 25, 1885, that the ecumenical patriarch Ioachim IV gave the usual “tomos” to acknowledge the autocephaly of the Orthodox Church in Romania.
The Romanian Church in Bukovina (Diocese of Cernauti) was raised to the rank of metropolitanate in 1873, while the Habsburg authorities hindered its relations with all the other Romanian dioceses. The most remarkable metropolitan was Silvestru Moraru Andrevici (1880-1895). The Church in Moldova beyond the Prut River (Bessarabia, passed under the Russian rule in 1812) constituted itself into an Archdiocese, seated in Kishinev, its first ruler being the Romanian Gavriil Banulescu Bodoni (1812 – 1821) (he was metropolitan of Poltava for a time), in whose time a Theological Seminary was set up in Kishinev and a new Romanian edition of the Bible was printed in Petersburg.
The Orthodox Church in Transylvania was ruled, in this period, by the great hierarch Andrei Saguna, an Aromanian (vicar in 1846, bishop in 1848, who was metropolitan between 1864 – 1873). He succeeded in re-establishing the old Metropolitanate of Transylvania, in 1864, seated in Sibiu this time, with two related dioceses: in Arad and in Caransebes (the last one set up in 1865). Saguna organised differently the Metropolitanate, through the well-known Organic Statute in 1868, and then headed the Church in Transylvania until after 1918, his principles constituting the basis of the religious rules in the entire Orthodox Church in the reunited Romania.
Theological education developed through the Seminaries in Socola-Iasi (1803), Bucharest, Buzau, Arges (1836), Ramnic (1837), Husi (1852), Roman (1858), Ismail-Galati (1864), through the Faculties of Theology in Iasi, for a short period (1860-1864); then through those in Cernauti (1875, instead of the old Theological Institute set up in 1827) and in Bucharest (1881). In Transylvania, Theological Seminaries and Institutes were set up in Blaj (1754), Sibiu (1811), Arad (1822) and Caransebes (1865).
VI. The Romanian Orthodox Church after 1918 (the “contemporary” period)
Period 1914 – 1918. The Union of Transylvania, Bessarabia and Bukovina with old Romania – by which the Romanian unitary state was created – brought about a series of changes in the life of the Church. The hierarchs from the territories included became members of the Holy Synod from Bucharest, and, on December 18 / 31, 1919, the Transylvanian Miron Cristea, who had been bishop of Caransebes until then and one of the great supporters of the Union, was elected metropolitan primate. Soon after that, the proceedings for the religious unification began, which was concluded on May 6, 1925, when the Law and Statute for the organisation or the Romanian Orthodox Church were promulgated.
On February 4, 1925, the Holy Synod decided to elevate the Romanian Orthodox Church to the rank of Patriarchate and to raise the metropolitan primate to that of patriarch. The law for setting up the Patriarchate was promulgated on February 25, 1925, and on November 1, 1925, the enthronement of the first patriarch Miron Cristea (1925 – 1939) took place. His successor was patriarch Nicodim Munteanu (1939-1948), author of many original theological works and translator from the Russian theological literature. During the pastoral rule of these two patriarchs, a few new dioceses were set up (in Oradea, Cluj, Constanta, Maramures, Timisoara and a missionary Diocese for the Romanian Orthodox faithful in America).
On the eve of the World War II, the Romanian Patriarchate had the following administrative-territorial organisation: I. Metropolitanate of Ungro-Wallachia with the following dioceses: Bucharest, Ramnic – the New Severin, Buzau, Arges, Tomis (Constanta); II. Metropolitanate of Moldova and Suceava, with the dioceses of Iasi, Roman, Husi and Lower Danube (Galati); III. Metropolitanate of Transylvania, with the dioceses of Sibiu, Arad, Caransebes, Oradea, Cluj; IV. Metropolitanate of Bukovina with dioceses of Cernauti, Hotin (Balti), and from 1938 also from Maramures (Sighet); V. Metropolitanate of Bessarabia with the dioceses of Kishinev and Cetatea Alba (Ismail). From 1921, there has been a Diocese of the Army (seated in Alba Iulia) and from 1934, the Missionary Diocese for the Romanians from America (seated in Detroit).
The theological education developed quite extensively: Faculties of Theology in Bucharest (from 1881), Cernauti (1875) and Kishinev (1927), Theological Academies in Sibiu, Arad, Caransebes, Cluj and Oradea and other 8 Theological seminaries.
A series of new church periodicals appeared besides the old ones: Biserica Ortodoxa Romana (Romanian Orthodox Church) and Studii Teologice (Theological studies) in Bucharest; Candela (Votive Light) in Cernauti; Revista Teologica (Theological Magazine) in Sibiu; Luminatorul (Luminary) and Misionarul (Missionary) in Kishinev, all of them as diocesan bulletins.
The Romanian Orthodox Church from 1944-1989. After 1944, the Church has been gradually removed from the state life. In 1948 the religious education was removed from schools, the religious services in hospitals, old people’s homes and army were forbidden, the diocesan periodicals were abolished, the Faculty of Theology from Suceava was dissolved (the former one in Cernauti) and so were four theological Academies in Transylvania and Banat, as well as the theological seminaries of the dioceses in Muntenia and Moldova, while the catechisation of the youth ceased. Soon after 1944, more than one thousand Orthodox priests (plus Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics and Protestants) were arrested, put into prisons, sent to work at the Danube – Black Sea canal, or deported even to Siberia: some of them died there, while most of them were released only in 1964. Among those arrested were outstanding theologians, such as: Nichifor Crainic, Ioan Savin, Dumitru Staniloae, Liviu G. Munteanu, Ilarion Felea, Ion V. Georgescu (deported to Siberia) and many others; some Orthodox priests were shot dead. The former metropolitan of Bukovina, Visarion Puiu was sentenced to death in contumacy (+1964, in France). In 1959 a series of sketes and monasteries were dissolved, hundreds of monks and nuns were brutally taken out of these monasteries and sent to their families or in factories by the state authorities. During the last years of the communist dictatorship, more than 20 places of worship were demolished in Bucharest (the monasteries of Cotroceni, Vacaresti, Alba-Postavari, Enei, Spirea Noua, Izvor, Holy Trinity – Dudesti etc.). The licenses necessary for building or restoring certain churches were granted with great difficulty. Orthodox priesthood, in its entirety, was permanently watched over and controlled, through the so-called “inspectors of religious cults” and Security officers, always present in the religious institutions.
Among the hierarchs in that period, one could mention, first of all, patriarch Justinian Marina (1948-1977), a good organiser and supervisor of the religious life in the conditions created after the World War II. He was succeeded by patriarch Iustin Moisescu (1977-1986), former professor at the Faculties of Theology in Warsaw, Cernauti and Bucharest, then metropolitan of Transylvania (1956-1957) and of Moldova (1957-1977). Starting with 1986 until 2007, our Church has been headed by patriarch Teoctist Arapasu, former assistant bishop, bishop of Arad, metropolitan of Oltenia, then of Moldova. Beginning with 30 September 2007, the patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church is His Beatitude Daniel, formerly assistant bishop to the Archdiocese of Timisoara and Metropolitan of Moldova and Bucovina.
After 1948, most of the 12.000 Orthodox places of worship (churches, monasteries, sketes and chapels) throughout the country were restored through the donations of the faithful. Most of the churches and monasteries declared historical monuments were also restored. At the same time, thousands new churches were built throughout the Romanian Patriarchate, some of them as real monuments of art.
Relations have been also established with the old Oriental Churches (Patriarchate of Ethiopia, Armenian Catholicosate in Etchmiadzin, Coptic Patriarchate in Egypt and the Jacobite Syrian Church in Kerala- India), the Roman Catholic Church (especially with the Vatican and in Austria, Germany and Belgium), the Old Catholic Church, with the Anglican Church, as well as with a series of Protestant Churches.
The Romanian Orthodox Church has been a member of the World Council of Churches since 1961. It sent delegations to the General Assemblies in New Delhi (1961), Uppsala (1968), Nairobi (1975), all of them headed by the then metropolitan of Moldova and Suceava, Iustin Moisescu (former member of the Central Committee until 1977) and to Vancouver (1983), headed by the Metropolitan of Transylvania Antonie Plamadeala.

The “Actual Proof of My Existence – Signed God of the Bible” book clearly shows a “signature proof” of God that could not have been known 3,000 years ago by anyone who wrote the Bible, except God. Over 40 Psalm scripture verses pertaining to specific historical events and actual science “constant” numbers are proven to exist in the Psalms, all landing on the correct Psalm verse numbers matching a year or scientific “power of ten number.” The odds are about 10^38th power (38 zeros)to 1, of being shuffled in that order! The amount of evidence in the book is vast, undeniable, and (not hidden) but on the surface of the Bible and simple to see. Many other areas of the Bible, such as the Ark of the Covenant, Tabernacle of Moses, and New Testament scriptures are explored and also found to have numbers and dimensions pertaining to modern day science. Some unique “Bible Code ELS” are also looked at. The book shows that upon a little closer examination of the Bible’s verse numbers and verse content, that incredible new patterns emerge. This book is hot, and a very fascinating read! This is the book to have for that great debate or discussion on whether the Bible is the Word of God; to be taken into schools, colleges, discussion groups. It is also very good for ideas for the religious student and writing papers on the Bible. The book is 248 pages and is available on Barnes & Nobles and all Amazon.com and Amazon International sites, Blackwells of England etc.. Just type in “Actual Proof” or ISBN 159160625X. The book is by Don Christie printed by Xulon Press and is available in paperback and hardcover.
Keep in mind that the Psalms bring forth a “double meaning.” They mean something specific to David at the time, but also are prophetic as they have just the “right expression” to match historical events for the years (1900 – ?). The Psalms are the 19th book of the Bible, hence 19(41), 19(46)using Psalm numbers. Here are some historical examples.
Psalm 33:19 as 1933 “To deliver their soul from (death), and to keep them alive in (famine). The great depression (1929 -1933)when many were hungry (famine), in 1933 the economy took a 21% upswing; verse is even 19 as in 1933.
Psalm 41:9 as 1941 “Mine own (familiar friend), in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread hath (lifted up his heel against me). The (Japanese in 1941) negotiating a false peace in Washington DC, while they were getting ready to attack America. Psalm 41:11 “Mine (enemy) doth not triumph over me.” This is the only scripture where “familiar and friend” occur together. Psalms 41:8 An (evil disease), say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and (now that he lieth) he shall (RISE UP) no more. The RISING sun nation: Japan (now he that lieth).
Psalm 46:9: Year 1946. “He maketh (wars to cease)” as 1946 is exactly one full year after WWII and verse 9 is ninth month September, when the surrender with Japan was signed September 2, 1945. This is the only scripture where “wars and cease” appear together.
Psalm 87: Year 1987. Psalm 87:4I will make mention of Rahab and (Babylon) to them that know me:behold Philistia, and Tyre,with Ethiopia; this man was born there. This was the restoring of the ancient Babylonian (Babylon) empire in 1987 by Saddam Hussein with a big feast (party)that lasted thirty days from October to November. This was a really large celebration with (singers and bands) from all over the world and Psalm 87:7 declares As well the (singers as the players) on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee; Correctly predicting the event 3,000 years ago.
Psalm 89: Year 1989. Psalm 89:40 Thou hast (broken down all his hedges); thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. Thou hast broken down all his hedges referring to the Berlin wall falling; which came down on November 9, 1989. The word hedges is only in the Bible 6 times. We know that the Berlin wall led to the breakup of the Soviet Union (RUSSIA), which fell in 1991. Psalm 89:10 Thou hast broken (Rahab) in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast (scattered thine enemies) with thy strong arm. The beginning of the coming down of the Soviet empire and the scattering of thine enemies; the breaking up of the USSR into other countries which occurred in 1991.
Psalm 91: Year 1991. Psalm 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the (terror by night); nor for the (arrow that flieth by day). This is the terror (terror by night) from Saddam Hussein and the scud missiles (arrow that flieth by day) during the Gulf War in 1991. Israel has now built its own new anti-missile defense system to combat scud missiles in 2002 and its called the Arrow system.
Psalm 93: Year 1993. Psalm 93:3 The (floods have lifted up), O LORD, the (floods) have lifted up their voice; the (floods) lift up their waves. Psalm 93:4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of (many waters), yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. This is the 1993 Midwest (floods) that were the among the worst in U.S. history.
Psalm 98: Year 1998. Psalm 98:7 Let the (sea roar), and the fulness thereof; the (world), and they that dwell therein. This was the year of (El Niño), and of course the seas really did roar and affected parts of the whole earth with flooding.
Psalm 99: Year 1999. Psalm 99:8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest (vengeance of their inventions). God took vengeance on our inventions, the computers and the Y2K problem and all of the expense and time involved to fix them.
Psalm 100:1 Year 2000. Psalm 100:1 Make a (joyful noise) unto the LORD, all ye lands. The millennium celebration in the Year 2000. This is also on the first verse and the first month is January.
This year(2003)as Psalm 103.
Psalm 103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the (eagle’s.) Psa 103:6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for(all that are (oppressed)). The eagles(Americans) are setting the (oppressed) people of Iraq free in 2003.
The Psalms are the 19th book of the Bible;
so Psalm 87 is 1987, Psalm 99 is 1999 etc. Psalm 103 is 2003 etc (1900 + 103).
Keep in mind that the book is not meant to be complex but simple. Quantum physics is complex, but anyone can match a number to its meaning; like (light = 27) and (Earth = 24), that’s all there is to it! Here we are using the standard numbers or what is called “the constants”, the numbers that don’t change and are well known and used by all scientists.
Some scientific Psalm samples:
Psalm 35:10 “(All my bones) shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him.”
Verse numbers (35 x 10) = 350 and as a baby there are 350 (bones) which fuse into 206 bones as one grows. Rev 21:17 “And he measured the wall thereof, an (hundred and forty and four cubits), according to the (measure of a man), that is, of the angel.” The Biblical measure of a man is 144 and (350 bones – 144) = 206 bones, the number of bones in the human body, you grow the size of the man. We also know that gravity makes bones strong (space makes them weak)(Rev 21 + 17) = 38; and we see in Psalm 38 that 10^-38 is gravity(heavy)in science! Gravity (38) is good for the (bones) as in Proverbs(3:8)”It shall be (health) to thy navel, and (marrow) to thy (bones).” Psalm 32:3 When I kept silence, (my bones) waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 32 + 3 = 35 (35 x 10)= 350 bones again. Psalms 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my (bones) because of my sin. 38 – 3 = 35. 350 is interesting as 10 x 35 = 350; what is 10^35 power? The size of man above the Planck length; defining the “size” of the mini-god (man)right on the 10^35 number in: John 10:35 “If he called them (gods), unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.” 10^35 is the size of a man; the earth is 10^42 above the Planck length. Bone(s) only appears 6 times in the New Testament: Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his (bones). 5 + 30 = 35. Acts 3:(7) And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and (ankle bones) received strength; there are (7) bones in the (ankle). The human body can have between 206 – 209 bones; depending upon whether one has one or two additional ribs and an extra bone in the coccyx (tailbone). All forms of the word “bone(s), jawbone, backbone” all appear within 104 scriptures of the Bible (104 x 2) = 208! Jeremiah 20:9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a (burning fire) shut up in my (bones), and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
Notice also that all of these scientific Psalms from here on have their “keywords” in the first 7 verses only of each Psalm. In the book the following (scientific)Psalms are covered, and all match “expressions” for their “power of ten” or other significant numbers; Psalm 6, 8, 11, 13, 14, 18, 19, 23, 24, 27, 29, 31, 33, 34, 38, 39, 42, 44, 60, 61, 72, 80, 83, 88, 90, 92, 104, 114, 144. Here are a few samples of the scientific Psalms.
Psalm 19:1 “The (heavens)declare the glory of God”; “tabernacle for the sun”; “heat” ;and “circuit” are all mentioned in Psalm 19 in the first 5 verses. 10^-19 power is one electron volt, also the charge of the electron is 10^-19 power. The Planck mass is 10^19 power GeV Giga electron volts. This Psalm is obviously about the sun and electrical power and energy and matches 10^19th power. The words “sun and light” appear together within (19) scriptures of the Bible. The words “earth and sun” appear in (8) scriptures of the Bible together and the earth is (8) minutes from the sun at light speed. The sun is 152,000,000 kilometers away at it’s longest distance and the word “sun” appears within 152 scriptures of the Bible; (19 electromagnetism x 8 minutes) = 152. The Psalms are the 19th book of the Bible. Psalm 19:1 starts out “The (heavens) declare the glory of God”; the word (heavens) appears (19) times in the New Testament and (114) times in the Old Testament 114 = (19 x 6). Heavens appears 133 times total in the Bible: 19 x 7 = 133, this looks like 7th heaven.
Psalm 24:1 The (earth) is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 6 x 10^24th power is the mass (weight) of the Earth as measured in kilograms.The 24th time the word “earth” occurs in the Bible: Genesis(2:4) These are the generations of the heavens and of the (earth) when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the (earth) and the heavens. The words “Lord” and “Earth” appear in 246 scriptures together and the earth is 6 x 10^24 kg. of weight. 1Kings 10:24 And all the (earth) sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my (light) and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 10^-27th power is the number for the minimum energy of a photon of (light). This is also called Plancks constant and is one of the most important constants in physics. The words lightning(s)appear in 27 verses of the Bible,Light is 10^27; Matthew 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in (light): and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Paul gets knocked off his horse in Acts: Acts 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there (shined) round about him a (light)from heaven: 9 x 3 = 27. Matthew 24:(27) For as the (lightning) cometh out of the east, and (shineth) even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.Revelation 22:5 And there shall be (no night there); and they need no (candle), neither (light of the sun); for the Lord God giveth them (light): and they shall reign for ever and ever. 22 + 5 = 27.
Psalm 34:5 They looked unto him, and were (lightened): and their (faces) were not ashamed. 10^-34th power is also the number for the minimum energy of a photon of (light) actually 6.626 x 10^-34 power joule secs called Plancks constant, and is one of the most important constants. This is the same value as Psalm 27 just on a different scale 10^-27 is erg secs for light. Lord and light appear in 34 verses together. Jesus and the light in Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his (face did shine as the sun), and his raiment was (white as the light). 17 x 2 = 34. James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the (Father of lights), with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning;(17 x 2) = 34. 1st John 1:7 But if we (walk in the light), as he is in the (light), we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. verse (17 x 2) = 34. John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear (witness of the Light),that all men through him might believe. (17 x 2)= 34.Luke 2:32 A (light) to (lighten) the (Gentiles), and the glory of thy people Israel; (2 + 32) = 34. Acts 13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a (light) of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth;(47 – 13)= 34. Luke 11:(34) The(light) of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is (full of light); but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Exodus 14:20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave (light) by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night; (14 + 20) = 34. Exodus 13:21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a (pillar of fire), to give them (light); to go by day and night;(13 + 21) = 34. Habakkuk 3:4 And his (brightness) was as the (light); he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. John 12:46 I am come a (light) into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness; 46 – 12 = 34. Luke 17:24 For as the (lightning), that (lighteneth) out of the one part under heaven, (shineth) unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the (Son of man be in his day); 17 x 24 same as 34 x 12.
One can see from this Psalm 34 alone that “light” energy at 10-34 is not only embedded in science, but also on some of the Bible’s most significant scriptures, written thousands of years ago. 17 is the victory number in the Bible (17 x 2)= 34, light and victory!
Psalm 29:7 “The voice of the LORD (divideth) the (flames of fire).” This is just what science says, that at a temperature of 10^29 degrees Kelvin, in the creation event, there was one fireball (superforce), and it split (divided)off into the 4 forces we have today. These are the: 1 strong force (holds atom together), 2 weak force (radioactive decay), 3 electromagnetism, and 4 gravity. The Bible is accurate when it comes to science. Here are some incredible 29′s and (fire). Hebrews 12:(29) For our God is a (consuming fire). Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and (fire) came down from God out of heaven, and (devoured them); 20 + 9 = 29. Daniel 3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the (burning fiery furnace), and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the (midst of the fire); 3 (people)+ 26 (Jehovah… Jesus) = 29 in the fire. Luke 17:(29) But the same day that Lot went out of (Sodom) it rained (fire and brimstone from heaven), and destroyed them all. Psalms 11:6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, (fire and brimstone), and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup; 116 = (29 x 4). Deuteronomy (29):23 And that the whole land thereof is (brimstone), and salt, and (burning), that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of (Sodom, and Gomorrah). Gen 19:28 And he looked toward (Sodom and Gomorrah), and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the (smoke of the country) went up as the (smoke of a furnace). Gen 19:(29) And it came to pass, when God (destroyed the cities) of the plain. Mark 9:49 For every one shall be (salted with fire), and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt; 9 + 49 = 58 (29 x 2). Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the (lake which burneth with (fire) and brimstone): which is the second death; 21 + 8 = 29. Genesis 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the (fire and the wood): but where is the (lamb) for a (burnt offering)?; 22 + 7 = 29. Leviticus (2:9) And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall (burn it upon the altar): it is an offering made by (fire), of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Psalm 31:2 “Deliver me (speedily)” Psalm 31:4 “Pull me out of the (net)” The mass of the electron is 10^-31 and the electron orbits the atom with tremendous speed (approx. 2.2 million meters per second). Also the worlds computers (running off of electrons) are connected to the (net) (internet). All forms of the word “speed” (speed, speedily, speedy) appear in the Bible exactly 31 times; speed 19, speedily 11, speedy 1 time ((19 11) 1) and in (1911) Ernest Rutherford discovers the ELECTRON orbits the atom. In relation to 31 electrons and inter(net); the only scripture with (net) and (network)appearing together: Exodus 27:4 And thou shalt make for it a grate of (network) of brass; and upon the (net) shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof; 27 + 4 = 31. There are 30 “net” words in the Old Testament. 30 net + this “network” word in Exo 27:4 = 31. There are 10 network(s)words in the Bible (3 x 10)= 30 the closest to 31 using whole number multiples. Also verse numbers 31:2 “speedily” multiplied 3 x 12 = 36 and 360 degrees (a circle of electron orbit)is a multiple (36 x 10)= 360. 27 “speed” words appear in the Old Testament and Psalm 27 says “The Lord is my (light)…”; like light speed 186,000 miles per second; 186 is a multiple of 31 as (31 x 6) = 186. Using our verse numbers: Psalm 31:2 “Deliver me (speedily)” and Psalm 31:4 “Pull me out of the (net)” (31 x 2) = 62 + (31 x 4) = 124 (62 + 124)= 186! Only 4 “speed” words occur in the New Testament as (27 OT) + 4(NT) = 31, one of these is: (2John 1):10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him (God speed); we have (God Speed) and 21 + 10 = 31 (31 x 6)= 186. Also 2John(1:10) 110 – 2 = 108 (27 light x 4). Job 18:6 The (light) shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his (candle) shall be put out with him. The electron’s 10^-31 purpose is to send out and absorb photons of light.
Psalm 33:2 says “…An instrument of (Ten strings)” and 10^-33 centimeters is the smallest length measure in the universe (Planck length) where science says the universe is constructed out of “vibrating loops of strings” in (10 space dimensions); mentioned in movies like “Frequency” and “Good Will Hunting”; referring to string-theory and the 10 dimensional universe. The phrase “Ten strings” landing in Psalm 33 matches the meaning of the Planck length at 10^-33 centimeters! The word “string” in all forms appears 9 times only in the Bible; 9 string + 1 time dimension = 10 dimensions. Psalms 21:12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrows upon thy (strings) against the face of them. 21 + 12 = 33 again. Psalms 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the (string), that they may privily (shoot) at the upright in heart. 33 is a multiple of 11. Psalm 92:3,4,5 Upon an instrument of (ten strings), and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through (thy work): I will triumph in the works of (thy hands).O LORD, how (great are thy works)! and thy thoughts are (very deep); verse 924 = (33) x 28. Isaiah 38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the (stringed) instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. 38 x 20 = 760; (33) x 23 = 759 (+1 or -1 multiple factor.)Can space really be (rolled up) in strings and membranes like the latest theories of the universe? Isaiah 34:4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the (heavens) shall be (rolled together) as a scroll: and all their host shall (fall) down, as the leaf (falleth) off from the vine, and as a (falling) fig from the fig tree. Verse 34 + 4 = 38 like Psalm 38 coming up and (gravity: things falling); Revelation 6:14 And the heaven departed as a (scroll when it is rolled together); and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Psalm 44:1 says “In the (times) of old” and 10^-44 is the Planck time, smallest time measurement, similar to Psalm 33 the smallest length measurement the Planck length at 10^-33 centimeters. Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the (time) was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. Also the Planck epoch time is 10^-43 secs as the first split second of the creation event; the first (time) word in the Bible is in: Genesis 4:3 And in process of (time) it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
So Psalms 33 and 44 have perfect fitting words for the Planck length and Planck time in the first 2 verses! These Psalm numbers 33:2 (strings) and 44:1 (time) as core power numbers (Space and Time)of the universe are mirrored in the Fibonnaci sequence: 144 and 233 forwards as Psalm 33:2 and Psalm 44:1 backwards. Fibonnaci numbers are the spiral patterns found in all of nature, plants, etc.
Psalm 42:7 “All thy (waves) and thy billows are gone over me” Science measures waves at 10^42 power; 10^42hz or 10^42 power frequency of light waves (photons) coming from 1 kilogram of mass. All forms of the word wave, such as waves, waved, etc.. appear in exactly 42 verses of the Old Testament.
Psalm 38:4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an (heavy burden) they are too (heavy) for me. Gravity is 10^-38th power (times weaker) when compared to the strong force (force that holds the atom together),and Psalm 38 talks of an heavy burden. The Newtonian gravity constant is 6.707 x 10^-39 (GeV/c2)-2; (10^-39 is the power number); the word heavy is found in exactly 39 different verses of the Bible, only (twice) in this verse. And to match verse: Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I (laid the foundations) of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Job 38:6 Whereupon are the (foundations thereof fastened)? or who laid the (corner stone) thereof; gravity 38!
So we find gravity in the 38-39 range in science when it comes to “power of ten” numbers. Not using (h-bar c) gives: 6.673 x (10^-11) m3 kg-1 s-2 for gravity, in other words 10^-11 power instead of 10^-39. Many other scriptures relate to gravity in the 38-39 range; here are a few samples.
Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, (walking on the sea). Now Jesus is a little higher than gravity (38) because He is walking on the water and verse numbers (14 + 25) = 39. Also verse (25 – 14) = 11 and we just said also that Newtonian gravity is 6.673 x (10^-11) m3 kg-1 s-2 not using (h-bar c); 10^-11 power. This scripture equals both “gravity constant” ‘power of ten’ numbers.
John 6:19 So when they had rowed about (five and twenty) or thirty (furlongs), they see Jesus (walking on the sea), and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. 6 + 19 = 25 (five and twenty furlongs) and 6 x 19 = 114 an exact multiple of GRAVITY 38 x 3 = 114; 619 is also 114th prime number. Also (19 – 6) = 13 and 39 is an exact multiple of 13 (13 x 3)= 39.
Mark 6:49 “But when they saw him (walking upon the (sea)), they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out.” Jesus is walking on the (sea) again and 649 = (11) x 59 exactly, knowing that Newtonian gravity is (6.673 x(10^-11) m3 kg-1 s-2) not using (h-bar c); 10^-11 power. Also verse (6 + 4 + 9) = 19 and 38 is a multiple of 19 (19 x 2)= 38. Jesus is walking upon the (sea) and (64 / 9) = 7.1 and the earth is (7.1 x 10)= 71% water! Using our multiples 11 + 59 = 70 almost 71% again. Using John 6:19 just prior where Jesus is (walking on the sea) (61 + 9)= 70 and using Matthew 14:25 with Jesus on the sea = 142.5 / 2 = (71).25! Newtonian gravity starts with SIX (6).673 x(10^-11) and this is Mark (6); John 6:19 starts with a (6) also, Verse Mark (6 + 49) = 55 (11 x 5). Same numbers 649 and a (stream: water): Luke 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that (without a foundation) built an house upon the earth; against which the (stream) did beat vehemently, and immediately it (fell); and the ruin of that house was great.
Mark 4:39 And he arose, and (rebuked the wind), and said unto the (sea, Peace, be still.) And the (wind ceased), and there was a great calm. Jesus controlling the 4 forces of nature:(weak force, strong force, electromagnetic, and gravity 39).
Act 8:(39) And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord (caught away Philip), that the eunuch (saw him no more): and he went on his way rejoicing. Act 8:40 But Philip was (found at Azotus): and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. Philip disobeying the law of gravity (39) and is caught away to another city.
Paul is “gravitationally challenged” and gets knocked off his horse by light. Act 26:13-14 At (midday), O king, I saw in the way a (light from heaven), above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. And when we were all (fallen) to the earth; 26 + 13 = 39 gravity and 3 x 9 = 27 (light) like Psalm 27 “The Lord is my (light)…”; also 3 + 9 = 12 and this happened at (midday). Here is the actual event in: Act (9:3) “And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there (shined) round about him a (light) from heaven”; 9 x 3 = 27 (light) and Act (9:4) “And he (fell) to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?”; 9 + 4 = 13 and 39 is a multiple 13 x 3 = 39.
Toronto, ON and New York, NY (PRWEB) January 06, 2012
Precision Nutrition announces it doubled enrollment in its Lean Eating Coaching Program on January 4 and 5, 2012 and had to turn away hundreds of potential clients. The reason is simple: its approach works and is very different from other weight loss programs.
Many people are already on the verge of giving up on their New Years weight loss resolutions, says Dr. John M. Berardi, Chief Science Officer of Precision Nutrition.
But Precision Nutrition clients fare much better. Three out of four participants follow the program at least 80% of the time and record significant weight loss in the year-long program.
Many people with great New Year’s resolutions mean well, but havent found a mentor. They are about to join the 98% of people who fail in self-directed weight loss programs, says Berardi.
The difference between success and failure in weight loss programs is not motivation or will power. Its finding help. Those who succeed find a friend whos lost fat and do what they did. Or they find a coach.
They do something anything to find a real human relationship with someone who knows what to do and has really, obviously, done it, says Berardi. Mentorship and support are absolutely essential to fat loss. Those who have it, succeed. Those who dont, they usually fail.
Mentors and coaches help people overcome the paralysis of analysis that prevents change. But a great coach is trained to simplify things to the point where people feel confident enough to skip the analysis and actually start doing.
The gyms have been packed this week, says Berardi. It happens every year. People kick off their new fitness program by trying to go to the gym every single day. They try to eat nothing but perfectly healthy meals. They add in a handful of new supplements. But right about now they realize they cant do it all and still have a life. By next week, many will be back to where they started except with a little less confidence in their ability to ever lose fat again.
In stark contrast, Berardi and his team of coaches at Precision Nutrition begin by asking clients to do just one simple thing: take fish oil and a multivitamin. Thats all. But why?
Berardi explains: I know that if I ask a client on scale of 1-10, how confident are you that you can do what Ive prescribed every day for the next 30 days? and they answer anything less than a 9 theyre going to struggle.
Ive coached clients for the better part of the last 15 years, and Ive learned that lesson the hard way. So, if someone answers anything less than a 9, I give them a little less to do, and I ask them the same question and I keep subtracting, and I keep asking, until I get either a 9 or a 10. At which point, the client usually says, Are you friggin kidding me? Is this a joke? Of course I can do that.
And you know what I say then? Lets begin.
So Berardis advice to those struggling to keep their New Years resolutions is to let go of the expectation of being able to do everything at once. Instead, pick one thing. It could be eating a fat loss breakfast. It could be taking a multivitamin and fish oil.
And then find a mentor or coach.

Psalm 11
1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?
2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Psalm 8
1 O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Of course this is not the only famous line from Psalm 8 and we probably need mulitple versions of this one.
Question by : Luke 12: 47-48 NLT The servant will be severely punished. Ephesians 6:5 NLT Slaves obey your masters with deep?
respect and fear. The bible, including the new testament gives instructions to both slaves and slave owners. Should we really give credence to a man that lived 2,000 years ago and approved of slavery enough to give instruction. If Jesus (real name Yeshua) was really the son of God, he would have spoken out against slavery, but he didn’t. Christians, how can you believe in such a man?
turboroot, surely God new about the future, if he was speaking only of that time period he would have said so. Slavery was just as evil then as it is now.
Karen, not all slaves where being punished for idol worship. A man could sell his daughter into slavery if he needed to money. Read Deuteronomy 21 18-21 and exedus 21 7-11
So Jadam if your station in life doesn’t matter, you can be my first slave when it’s legalized.

Answer by Tuberoot
Your misunderstanding of Luke set aside for the moment, I think it’s important to know that we are all slaves. We are slaves to our governments, and sin. The Bible typifies that . . . I’m not sure if you have the concept of typifying in Hindu religions, but typifying means to symbolize, or to make an example of by type. So we Christians are typified as slaves to sin until we become slaves to God through Christ, who is the better and true Master.
Now Luke 12:47-48,
This means that those who are aware of what they should be doing will be more severely punished for not doing what they knew they should have. While those who are ignorant will be treated less severely.
In today’s society, we shun slavery. In those societies of the past, it was a way of life. So you have to look beyond the conditioning you received in your life time concerning certain things as those in order to understand it.
