This is a 12 x 16 oil called "Hear O Israel" which is the beginning line of Deuteronomy 6:4 and begins the well known prayer known as the "Shema." The painting  was inspired by my trip to Israel several years back. The location of the scene is the infamous Masada in the Dead Sea area. 

 

amazing

lol

and I understand why your confused, if I grew up in an area where guns wernt prevelant, i might have the same questions. Ive spent a huge portion of my life around guns. Education is power, or so they say. 

i think guns are okay just sometimes the person who is holding the gun might be a little nuts..you can pass the background checks then years later snap..like that man who hurt those people in las vegas during the music festival..dangerous....probably would be less paranoid if i grew up around them though. :-)

Depends where your at. Where I live you don't need a license at all, all I need to do is pass a background check. You can apply for a concealed carry permit, but I don't even need that to carry concealed in my state, all it does is give me the ability to carry in neighboring states.

 

Some states and even cities are far more restrictive. So a lot depends on where you live. Typically the more liberal the state, the more gun laws are in place.

is a carry permit a license to be able to walk around in public with it? 

prayer works just not when it interupts gods plans..praying for your mum gb 

is it easy to get a license for a gun in america? 

god. loves. everyone.

The reason why the Lord forbids the use of anything pertaining to the occult is that it is an attempt to circumvent the Lord. The very word itself occult  means "hidden" (that is, "knowledge" or "power"), and in using occult items and practices to obtain these things, it is man trying to go outside the boundaries God has set forth in order to attain them.

And that's dangerous.

God forbade the occult because there are only two sources of spiritual power in the universe: God and Satan. And Satan's power is a corruption of what the Lord originally intended for him; while he operates with the permission of the Lord, it does not make Satan any less evil or dark. He seeks to steal, kill and destroy (yes, that means Satan wants to do that to YOU, george2). That said, using the occult is walking right into the devil's den and asking to "play",  and that is NOT going to turn out very well for those who choose to do so.

Jade is absolutely correct: if you trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, then you have no business keeping those cards; they need to be destroyed and the sooner the better.

What concord is there between Christ and Belial? NONE.

i thought it was only bad when you did things with the cards? not sure how to even do it 

is just owning them bad?

I'd appreciate it if you could provide more information about this.  I tried doing some internet searches on this and found the main christalignment.org site, a list of events where the Hodges (my impression is that they are leaders in this) give seminars on sharing the gospel in nontraditional ways with counter culture groups, and a few articles highly critical of this.

I'm trying to figure out how much of this is a nontraditional way to try to talk to people (who would otherwise have nothing to do with anything Christian) using art work and nontraditional language, getting people to talk about themselves and their lives, and then offering to pray with them and give them spiritual counsel, and how much of this is potentially occult stuff that is just plain weird.

 The people with Christalignment are certainly going into places and meeting and talking with people that most Christians have few dealings with.  Their description (from their site) on attending the 2017 Queer Expo was "Our team was able to give love, gain understanding and engage at a deeper level. As usual, we found that people the world over, long and hunger for the same things, have the same heart needs, the same life needs and still reach out to be touched by the Divine.Our lifestyle choices often do not cloud our searching for the very basic connection to a creator who loves, a creator who comes in a personal way, a creator who answers the intimate need of the human heart."

I'm not going to rush to judgement on this without knowing more.  Is this merely using a personality survey (based on artwork instead of written questions) to get people to start talking about themselves?  Or is it occultic?  There are those people in the world that feel that God and His people hate them and want nothing to do with Him or any of His people.  Is this a way of using nontraditional language to try to express to them that there is indeed a Creator than made them, loves them, and wants to do work in their lives?  Or is this some oddball new agers that stepped foot in a church a few times and appropriated a bit of the language and symbolism?

 

im not sure what your asking but i guess sometimes it can be used for cult things but i dont think people use these kinds of cards for that purpose well hopefully not lol..

erm i have a deck of those cards

praying for debby as well!

dont give up 

please dont,,will be praying for you! 

thanks all everything is okay 

praying now  gb
