Yup..trojan horses Yod... Today they want to control Americans under the guise of health care, but their eye is on the bigger prize, through cap and trade they will try to control the world.... These two are their biggest pet projects, and are all about massive control .....

Obama is the one who needs 'to make compromises'!! He's out shoving his disgusting agenda down every one's throut, telling every one in the world they are going to have to give up a piece of their pie, while he acting like a pure glutton having his cake and eating it too....He's a stinking hypocrite, maybe he should shut his pie hole for once and mind his own bussiness....But we know he won't...

These days are pure agony....can you even believe that there could be this many ignoramus' all in the same administration?...good grief!! The news just keeps getting from bad to worse... How long oh Lord??

Obama would know all too well what a bow to the waist of the Muslim Saudi king means...he went to a Muslim school and has publicly recited the muslim morning prayer in perfect aramaic....He's been about the bussiness of apoligizing for America the great satan, to every forgien leader he encounters, to his own shame..

It sure makes ya wonder if our government was being held hostage before this thug ever got in office... I cannot imagine any other blantantly corrupt community organizer being able to slither into the whitehouse so easily...I hope they are still investigating his ties with Tony Rezco....who's laywer still pays the taxes on the obama's house...there is also multiple S.S.#s listed for the obamas...Tax fraud galore... He removed any security features from him website that would have prevented illegal activity...allowing the same card # to donate repeatedly using different names... The obama campaign also sent acorn a list of their maxed out donors so the could solicite more money for BHO under the guise or acorn.... If this isn't the last days, which I believe it mosy likely is....this fascist presidency will go into the history books as the biggest hoax every played on America.... I pray this fraud will be exposed for the whole world to see...SOON!!

I am not expert in economics...But.. I watched a story today on the news, I googled to find it online but no luck... It was saying that China was printing yens and circulating large amounts of them into other countries in place of using the dollar...or something to that effect...Did anyone else see that? It must have been on Fox...

I don't know as that would be seen as putting himself beneath the kings rule as does the symbolism of a bow, but it wouldn't be too suprising to see Barry in a unseemly photo after being mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, who was a professed pervert who indulged himself in depravity with both sexes.... I have dial up so I couldn't look at all the photos... No one has to look for things to complain about....atleast with Bush we didn't have to get up EEEVERRRY DAY wondering 'what radical brain fart will he stink up this country with this morning, noon,and night?'..... Here a link to the embarassing doofus' photo: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/0...saudi_king.html

He's only showing his reverance and submissiveness, placing himself and America beneath the Muslim Saudi king..... I guess it won't show the pic...bummer

I believe it means the beginning of the end of our sovereignty.... Soon we will be giving up our sovereignty as a separate nation for a 'collective sovereignty' which is not sovereignty at all... Below is something I came across the other day..It may help explain some of this....I haven't had time to look it over much myself... ******************************************************************************** http://www.augustreview.com/knowledge_base...ion_2006111436/ How to understand Globalization 1. Follow the money, follow the power 2. Discern illusion from reality, especially with media outlets 3. Listen to experts who offer a meaningful critique 4. Study & verify sources and footnotes 5. Apply liberal doses of common sense What is Globalization? It is the collective effect of purposeful and amoral manipulation that seeks to centralize economic, political, technological and societal forces in order to accrue maximum profit and political power to global banks, global corporations and the elitists who run them. "Free Trade" is the central mantra. Globalization is set against national Sovereignty, closed borders, trade tarrifs and anything that would restrict its goals and methods used to achieve them. Globalization promotes regional and global government, a one-world economic system of trade and a form of fascism where global corporations and their elite control the policies and directives of individual governments. The original and primary perpetrators of modern-day globalization number only in the 100's, representative of which, but not exclusively, are members of The Trilateral Commission. To understand the genesis of the Trilateral Commission, read the transcript of the 1979 radio show between Antony C. Sutton, Patrick M. Wood and George S. Franklin, Jr. -- Coordinator of the Trilateral Commission! Where did Globalization come from? The "New International Economic Order" was the coinage of the Trilateral Commission starting in 1973. This purpose was stated repeatedly in its papers, journals and conferences. New World Order In 1991, President George H.W. Bush, a member of the Trilateral Commission, began to openly talk about the New World Order, which expanded the concept to include governance as well as economic unity.

" A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; " Mat 20:2 And when he had agreed with the laborers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. Eventually it will be a days wages for a days worth of food....

I believe that one's doctrine is 'the' gospel and one is 'another' gospel.... One says that salvation is based on the docrine of justification by faith in Christ alone.... The other says anyone who says that we are justified by faith in Christ alone is 'anathema'......... The following is the stand of the Roman Catholic Church on Justification By Faith Alone. Canon IX. If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining of the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema. (Roman Catholic Council of Trent)..... Some further explainations of the doctrine of jusification can be found here:http://www.worthyboards.com/index.php?show...p;#entry1149899 I'm sure others here can lead you to others........

So. . . would it be safe to say that since you and nanasimmons like to pack whole groups of people into one barrel, categorize them, label them, and judge them, then we should be able to do that with you too, right? I mean after all, if you are going to do it with other groups of people, then you have no objections if the same behavior is applied to you, right? Would you say right now, that you are pretty close to the people at Westboro Baptist, in your over-all stance? Would that be accurate? By the way, Strong's is a great tool, but it is hardly an authority on anything. First of all, I only pointed out that based on the scriptures one could mistakenly or not, come to that conclusion.... I am neither creating or willing to create a doctrine out of it.... As far as being labeled, As a Christian this is a God given....Does my flesh find offence to it? Sometimes... but as Christians we should be bringing our flesh into subjection and die daily to the works of the flesh... which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

The doctrine of justification is the gospel...!! It is a SELF emptying faith like Abraham's...Sarah was over 74 years old and barren and yet Abraham believed God that he would have a son and it was imputed/accounted to him for righteousness....At this point Abraham believed not in himself for Sarah to have a child but believed that God would fulfill the promise made...Work of the Spirit.... Of course as human nature would have it, 10 years later, Sarah now over 84 years old, they decided to help God along with that promise...Works of the flesh...Mixing a little works with their faith so to say... We Christians should have SELF emptying, justifying faith....... Again, it is not our faith per se, that saves/justifies us, it is what we place our faith in.... Self or Christ's imputed Righteousness........ we need to be 'skillfull in the word of righteousness'.... Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Rom 5:18 Therefore as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Rom 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled Col 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight: Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 2Co 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 2Co 3:8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 2Co 3:9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of(His) righteousness exceed in glory. 2Co 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 2Co 3:11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 1Pe 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1Pe 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism(into Him) doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 1Pe 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 1Co 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. Quote........... Barnes commentary....... 1Co 15:56 - The sting of death - The sting which death bears; that with which he effects his purpose; that which is made use of to inflict death; or that which is the cause of death. There would be no death without sin. The apostle here personifies death, as if it were a living being, and as making use of sin to inflict death, or as being the sting, or envenomed instrument, with which he inflicts the mortal agony. The idea is, that sin is the cause of death. It introduced it; it makes it certain; it is the cause of the pain, distress, agony, and horror which attends it. If there had been no sin, people would not have died. If there were no sin, death would not be attended with horror or alarm. For why should innocence be afraid to die? What has innocence to fear anywhere in the universe of a just God? The fact, therefore, that people die, is proof that they are sinners; the fact that they feel horror and alarm, is proof that they feel themselves to be guilty, and that they are afraid to go into the presence of a holy God. If this be taken away, if sin be removed, of course the horror, and remorse, and alarm which it is suited to produce will be removed also. Is sin - Sin is the cause of it; see the note at Rom_5:12. The strength of sin - Its power over the mind; its terrific and dreadful energy; and especially its power to produce alarm in the hour of death. Is the law - The pure and holy law of God. This idea Paul has illustrated at length in Rom_7:9-13; see the notes on that passage. He probably made the statement here in order to meet the Jews, and to show that the law of God had no power to take away the fear of death; and that, therefore, there was need of the gospel, and that this alone could do it. The Jews maintained that a man might be justified and saved by obedience to the law. Paul here shows that it is the law which gives its chief vigor to sin, and that it does not tend to subdue or destroy it; and that power is seen most strikingly in the pangs and horrors of a guilty conscience on the bed of death. There was need, therefore, of the gospel, which alone could remove the cause of these horrors, by taking away sin, and thus leaving the pardoned man to die in peace; compare the note on Rom_4:15. 1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 1Co 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Heb 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Every group has those members who are less than ideal. They do not represent the best of that particular group. It is unfortunate that Christians seek to judge an entire group of people by the lowest common denominator. It is the product of centuries of misinformation not to mention the current trend in the media such as we see in movies about the life of Christ where all Jews are vilified as the villains of the New Testament. I'm sure that is true....The problem is the the Bible only records for Christians, Jesus' words and feelings towards the Pharisees of His day that were practicing hypocrisy in self righteousness... In the historical sense, yes they we Jews but I tend to look at some things in the spiritual sense of of the meaning...People who strain gnats and swallow camels, regaurdless of their racial back ground.... I know you will disagree with my view point, but that is how I view it... Even though you see it as 'Pharisee' = 'Jew'.... Not everyone else equates it in those terms... It is not always as personal as you feel it is... God declared us ALL unrighteous sinners.... Rom 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Rom 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Rom 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood: Rom 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways: Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known: Rom 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. Like I said, all Christians have to go by biblically, is the Lord's words, so even a goodwilled, honest Christian could come to the conclusion that He was, historically, referring to the majority (atleast in the area He was in) and could easily be mistaken, if it is a mistake.... I don't believe we can in all honestly, claim as a matter of fact either way... But, is there any scriptures to support that fact? Quote............... Fausset Pharisees From perishin Aramaic, perashim, "separated." To which Paul alludes, Rom_1:1; Gal_1:15, "separated unto the gospel of God"; once "separated" unto legal self righteousness. In contrast to "mingling" with Grecian and other heathen customs, which Antiochus Epiphanes partially effected, breaking down the barrier of God's law which separated Israel from pagandom, however refined. The Pharisees were successors of the Assideans or Chasidim, i.e. godly men "voluntarily devoted unto the law." On the return from Babylon the Jews became more exclusive than ever. In Antiochus' time this narrowness became intensified in opposition to the rationalistic compromises of many. The Sadducees succeeded to the latter, the Pharisees to the former (1Ma_1:13-15; 1Ma_1:41-49; 1Ma_1:62-63; 1Ma_2:42; 1Ma_7:13-17; 2Ma_14:6-38). They "resolved fully not to eat any unclean thing, choosing rather to die that they might not be defiled: and profame the holy covenant." in opposition to the Hellenizing faction. So the beginning of the Pharisees was patriotism and faithfulness to the covenant. Jesus, the meek and loving One, so wholly free from harsh judgments, denounces with unusual severity their hypocrisy as a class. (Mat_15:7-8; Mat_23:5; Mat_23:13-33), their ostentatious phylacteries and hems, their real love of preeminence; their pretended long prayers, while covetously defrauding the widow. They by their "traditions" made God's word of none effect; opposed bitterly the Lord Jesus, compassed His death, provoking Him to some "hasty words" (apostomatizein) which they might catch at and accuse Him; and hired Judas to betray Him; "strained out gnats, while swallowing camels" (image from filtrating wine); painfully punctilious about legal trifles and casuistries, while reckless of truth, righteousness, and the fear of God; cleansing the exterior man while full of iniquity within, like "whited sepulchres" (Mar_7:6-13; Luk_11:42-44; Luk_11:53-54; Luk_16:14-15); lading men with grievous burdens, while themselves not touching them with one of their fingers. (See CORBAN.) Paul's remembrance of his former bondage as a rigid Pharisee produced that reaction in his mind, upon his embracing the gospel, that led to his uncompromising maintenance, under the Spirit of God, of Christian liberty and justification by faith only, in opposition to the yoke of ceremonialism and the righteousness which is of the law (Galatians 4; 5). The Mishna or "second law," the first portion of the Talmud, is a digest of Jewish traditions and ritual, put in writing by rabbi Jehudah the Holy in the second century. The Gemara is a "supplement," or commentary on it; it is twofold, that of Jerusalem not later than the first half of the fourth century, and that of Babylon A.D. 500. The Mishna has six divisions (on seeds, feasts, women's marriage, etc., decreases and compacts, holy things, clean and unclean), and an introduction on blessings. Hillel and Shammai were leaders of two schools of the Pharisees, differing on slight points; the Mishna refers to both (living before Christ) and to Hillel's grandson, Paul's' teacher, Gamaliel. An undesigned coincidence confirming genuineness is the fact that throughout the Gospels hostility to Christianity shows itself mainly from the Pharisees; but throughout Acts from the Sadducees. Doubtless because after Christ's resurrection the resurrection of the dead was a leading doctrine of Christians, which it was not before (Mar_9:10; Act_1:22; Act_2:32; Act_4:10; Act_5:31; Act_10:40). The Pharisees therefore regarded Christians in this as their allies against the Sadducees, and so the less opposed Christianity (Joh_11:57; Joh_18:3; Act_4:1; Act_5:17; Act_23:6-9). The Mishna lays down the fundamental principle of the Pharisees. "Moses received the oral law from Sinai, and delivered it to Joshua, and Joshua to the elders, and these to the prophets, and these to the men of the great synagogue" (Pirke Aboth ("The Sayings of the [Jewish] Fathers"), 1). The absence of directions for prayer, and of mention of a future life, in the Pentateuch probably gave a pretext for the figment of a traditional oral law. The great synagogue said, "make a fence for the law," i.e. carry the prohibitions beyond the written law to protect men from temptations to sin; so Exo_23:19 was by oral law made further to mean that no flesh was to be mixed with milk for food. The oral law defined the time before which in the evening a Jew must repeat the Shema, i.e. "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord, and thou shalt love the Lord," etc. (Deu_6:4-9.) So it defines the kind of wick and oil to be used for lighting the lamps which every Jew must burn on the Sabbath eve. An egg laid on a festival may be eaten according to the school of Shammai, but not according to that of Hillel; for Jehovah says in Exo_16:5, "on the sixth day they shall prepare that which, they bring in," therefore one must not prepare for the Sabbath on a feast day nor for a feast day on the Sabbath. An egg laid on a feast following the Sabbath was "prepared" the day before, and so involves a breach of the Sabbath (!); and though all feasts do not immediately follow the Sabbath yet "as a fence to the law" an egg laid on any feast must not be eaten. Contrast Mic_6:8. A member of the society of Pharisees was called chaber; those not members were called "the people of the land"; compare Joh_7:49, "this people who knoweth not the law are cursed"; also the Pharisee standing and praying with himself, self righteous and despising the publican (Luk_18:9-14). Isaiah (Isa_65:5) foretells their characteristic formalism, pride of sanctimony, and hypocritical exclusiveness (Jud_1:18). Their scrupulous tithing (Mat_23:23; Luk_18:12) was based on the Mishna, "he who undertakes to be trustworthy (a pharisaic phrase) tithes whatever he eats, sells, buys, and does not eat and drink with the people of the land." The produce (tithes) reserved for the Levites and priests was "holy," and for anyone. else to eat it was deadly sin. So the Pharisee took all pains to know that his purchases had been duly tithed, and therefore shrank from "eating with" (Mat_9:11) those whose food might not be so. The treatise Cholin in the Mishna lays down a regulation as to "clean and unclean" (Lev_20:25; Lev_22:4-7; Num_19:20) which severs the Jews socially from other peoples; "anything slaughtered by a pagan is unfit to be eaten, like the carcass of an animal that died of itself, and pollutes him who carries it." An orthodox Jew still may not eat meat of any animal unless killed by a Jewish butcher; the latter searches for a blemish, and attaches to the approved a leaden seal stamped kashar, "lawful." (Disraeli, Genius. of Judaism.) The Mishna abounds in precepts illustrating Col_2:21, "touch not, taste not, handle not" (contrast Mat_15:11). Also it (6:480) has a separate treatise on washing of hands (Yadayim). Translated Mar_7:8, "except they wash their hands with the fist" (pugmee); the Mishna ordaining to pour water over the dosed hands raised so that it should flow down to the elbows, and then over the arms so as to flow over the fingers. Jesus, to confute the notion of its having moral value, did not wash before eating (Luk_11:37-40). Josephus (Ant. 18:1, section 3, 13:10, section 5) says the Pharisees lived frugally, like the Stoics, and hence had so much weight with the multitude that if they said aught against the king or the high-priest it was immediately believed, whereas the Sadducees could gain only the rich. The defect in the Pharisees which Christ stigmatized by the parable of the two debtors was not immorality but want of love, from unconsciousness of forgiveness or of the need of it. Christ recognizes Simon's superiority to the woman in the relative amounts of sin needing forgiveness, but shows both were on a level in inability to cancel their sin as a debt. Had he realized this, he would not have thought Jesus no prophet for suffering her to touch Him with her kisses of adoring love for His forgiveness of her, realized by her (Luk_7:36-50; Luk_15:2). Tradition set aside moral duties, as a child's to his parents by" Corban"; a debtor's to his creditors by the Mishna treatise, Avodah Zarah (1:1) which forbade payment to a pagan three days before any pagan festival; a man's duty of humanity to his fellow man by the Avodah Zarah (2:1) which forbids a Hebrew midwife assisting a pagan mother in childbirth (contrast Lev_19:18; Luk_10:27-29). Juvenal (14:102-104) alleges a Jew would not show the road or a spring to a traveler of a different creed. Josephus (B.J. 2:8, section 14; 3:8, section 5; Ant. 18:1, section 3) says: "the Pharisees say that the soul of good men only passes over into another body, while the soul of bad men is chastised by eternal punishment." Compare Mat_14:2; Joh_9:2, "who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" compare Joh_9:34, "thou wast altogether born in sins." The rabbis believed in the pre-existence of souls. The Jews' question merely took for granted that some sin had caused the blindness, without defining whose sin, "this man" or (as that is out of the question) "his parents." Paul: regarded the Pharisees as holding our view of the resurrection of the dead (Act_23:6-8). The phrase "the world to come" (Mar_10:30; Luk_18:30; compare Isa_65:17-22; Isa_26:19) often occurs in the Mishna (Avoth, 2:7; 4:16): this world may be likened to a courtyard in comparison of the world to come, therefore prepare thyself in the antechamber that thou mayest enter into the dining room"; "those born are doomed to die, the dead to live, and the quick to be judged," etc. (3:16) But the actions to be so judged were in reference to the ceremonial points as much as the moral duties. The Essenes apparently recognized Providence as overruling everything (Mat_6:25-34; Mat_10:29-30). The Sadducees, the wealthy aristocrats, originally in political and practical dealings with the Syrians relied more on worldly prudence, the Pharisees more insisted on considerations of legal righteousness, leaving events to God. The Pharisees were notorious for proselytizing zeal (Mat_23:15), and seem to have been the first who regularly organized missions for conversions (compare Josephus, Ant. 20:2, section 3): The synagogues in the various cities of the world, as well as of Judaea, were thus by the proselytizing spirit of the Pharisees imbued with a thirst for inquiry, and were prepared for the gospel ministered by the apostles, and especially Paul, a Hebrew in race, a Pharisee by training, a Greek in language, and a Roman citizen in birth and privilege. In many respects their doctrine was right, so that Christ desires conformity to their precepts as from "Moses' seat," but not to their practice (Mat_23:2-3). But while pressing the letter of the law they ignored the spirit (Mat_5:21-22; Mat_5:27; Mat_5:38; Mat_5:31-32). Among even the Pharisees some accepted the truth, Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, and Joh_12:42 and Act_15:5. End quote.............

I have always believed that Ezek. 34 was a prophecy that would find it's anti-type fulfillment in the days of Christ's first and second comings..... That is my understanding of the reason that Christ came when He did because the majority of the teachers were false shepherds, eating the fat while starving the flock.... Pretend shepherds, only using the flock to feed themselves and dress themselves up well(clothing/positions), while neglecting the hungry, the diseased, the sick/broken, and the lost strays which were left valnerable to prey... Eze 34:1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Eze 34:2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Eze 34:3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. Eze 34:4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. Eze 34:5 And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. Eze 34:6 My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. Eze 34:7 Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Eze 34:8 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; Eze 34:9 Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD; Eze 34:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. Eze 34:11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. Eze 34:12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. Eze 34:13 And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. Eze 34:14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. Eze 34:15 I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. Eze 34:16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment. Eze 34:17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. Eze 34:18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? Eze 34:19 And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. Eze 34:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. Eze 34:21 Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; Eze 34:22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. Eze 34:23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd And again it may also depend on one's defination of hypocrisy........another example is...Mar 12:14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Mar 12:15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. .....These were pretending outwardly that they believed and respected who He was in front of the crowd, while inside and privitely, they were only looking to snare Him in a trap...

Mat 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Mat 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Mat 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: Mat 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. Mat 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Mat 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Mat 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of,
