'An Unjust Arrest!': Street Preacher Arrested by 'Tyrant' Cop During PA Pride Rally

Just viewing and thinking about about all those biographies I read in my earlier years about "Open AIR" preachers, They really Preach Powerful Sermons Straight out of the Bible and People cried and cried out what must I do to keep from going to Hell, and the people had nightmares and they got saved after they went home talk those things over what they heard the Preacher talking about Eternal Life, and damnation. Now days preacher don't Preach The word of God like they used too, The teach how to be good and treat people right and be good citizens and , a help to society. But Not The Gospel of The news about Eternal Life and The Inheritance of The Kingdom that we shall "Inherit" a Kingdom that has no End, far beyond the farthest Horizons beyond "Heaven" and that we will inherit it ALL. it is enough for everybody, and you do not have to buy it or but insurance on it nor will you need a "Real Estate" Agent of any "Lawyers" or go to school!

◄ Isaiah 55 ►
New International Version Par ▾

1“Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and you will delight in the richest of fare.
3Give ear and come to me;
listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David.
4See, I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a ruler and commander of the peoples.
5Surely you will summon nations you know not,
and nations you do not know will come running to you,
because of the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.”
6Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.
7Let the wicked forsake their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
12You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.
13Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”

one of my first thoughts was, "it serves him right". {that is, without watching the video}

Trying to think if we have a similar example of Christian 'Street preachers' in the Bible, and then, them going to a rally that they know full well is worldly and carnal.
Bit like going to a pagan feast and expecting a welcoming ear or two.

One might see the act of the chap in the videos as being a trouble maker?

What are your thoughts, Brother?

let see sometimes people get the wrong definition of the English word "love" which is entirely complete different from "Agape" to be simple "AGAPE" means doing that which is right that has been define by GOD.

The English Word "LOVE" is more about how you feel, like people get married in certain parts of the the modern world , because they are in Love. if they where in Love when they 1st. got married, they say I fell out of love.


Now God meaning of "AGAPE" we got married because it is a right thing to do and when look into Biblical history the most of the time marriages are arraign even today, the people getting married have not even met the person of=f =r have not seen each other since kids. and those marriage have not he rate of divorce like this who say they are in Love and then 5 , 1-, 20 ,even 30 years later they divorce because they sellout of Love.


But "AGAPE" never fails, but to death does part.. marriage is foe life, idonot not believe God has a escapr=e Clause as men have interpret it. and I do not argue of men claim that he has away out of marriages by Adultery, but for fornication I do, in the jewish tradition that the marriage ceremony takes a whole year to the man and wife to complete the marriage ceremony then they consummate after the year have been completed, to make sure she has not been unfaithful.

GOD's "AGAPE" never fails,

So, if they preach "JESUS" they are preaching "AGAPE" and AGAPE has tone explain.

American love is different, if a man falls in love with another man, they say they are in Love, If women falls in Love with another home, then it is ok to marry the women,,, Gods laws was to the Jews and not the world, So if them loves the 13 year old which a group man in Japan can sleep with a grown man it is Legal. many country there child Brides and even here in American it is getting common for Female school teachers sleeping with very young teens because she is in Love. American and British Love, not "AGAPE" I would think, "AGAPE" is doing what is right in the eyes of GOD and not on how one feels.

But I am old school almost 50 years in CHRIST. They the theologians thought different when I was in my twenties, They where in their 70's preaching to me and those who preached to them were in their 70's so I got preachers, "Orators", have heard a Orator for about over 40 years, and I had 140 years of Preaching experience Preaching to my ears. Anointed men and power old men, men those who hear in the hearings of "Marin Lloyd Jones"

And I Have done "lectures" on love and heard great Theologians do them too, I do remember the 1st. Lecture on Love in about "1979" it was done by a member of "Our Counsel of Baptist Pastors", His name was "DR. Charles Butler" "PhD" in Theology a graduate of "YALE" that old Black man had a "Stentorian tone voice" and that was the 1st. time I heard the word "AGAPE" and he blew me away! have h=need hear a man talk like that man, it is funny how you brought the word love up, And was just talking about "Dr. Butler" on talk Jesus a few weeks ago, how he was the 1st. Theologian I had ever herd, and the way that man talked about "GOD", I had never heard of a Theologian or had ever even saw one, But Change my Life that day I went into Deep prayer, GOD teach how to know you like that Old man teach me1 I what know just like he knows you. then one day, I was taking about about him to my wife, and she turn around and said; You are "A Theologian". I remember a long time ago, and they told me regular church pope do not understand real Theologian for we are in a completely different "Theological World". So do not be dismayed when The regular Congregation do not understand you. this is normal.. they were right.


"AGAPE" is completely different from the common word of the people "Love' the two are not the same..
"AGAPE" never fails but human "LOVE" does and when the difference is not explain in details over and over, But the Bibles says: "men Loves Darkness rather than light" So mankind will love their definition of love rather than "AGAPE" GOD's definition" GOD told his only son to come down here and suffer and go through so much sorrow and pain not known to humanity and die a very horrible death, beaten so bad his body and face did not look like a humans body, every inch, his flesh torn beyond recognition because he loved Him, and he wanted to do something special for him, what kind of love is that! Sending your Son to suffer like that, He loved Him.

so I made it as short as I could. by explaining the difference,

note:
this Text replacement" micro is not working right replacing words and placement of words and structures of sentences. old computer. and spellings micros.

If we focus on "Jesus Alone" all else will fall into place. "Salvation" "Eternal Life " and Damnation" and Adoption and The Shared Full Inheritance" that is it!
"The Gospel According to Jesus Christ" The rest will take care of its own.

I did not buy my Sermons and Lectures like most pastors. I wrote them myself.

Love​

luv ('ahebh, 'ahabhah, noun; phileo, agapao, verb; agape, noun): Love to both God and man is fundamental to true religion, whether as expressed in the Old Testament or the New Testament. Jesus Himself declared that all the law and the prophets hang upon love (Mt 22:40; Mr 12:28-34). Paul, in his matchless ode on love (1Co 13:1-13), makes it the greatest of the graces of the Christian life--greater than speaking with tongues, or the gift of prophecy, or the possession of a faith of superior excellence; for without love all these gifts and graces, desirable and useful as they are in themselves, are as nothing, certainly of no permanent value in the sight of God. Not that either Jesus or Paul underestimates the faith from which all the graces proceed, for this grace is recognized as fundamental in all God's dealings with man and man's dealings with God (Joh 6:28 f; Heb 11:6); but both alike count that faith as but idle and worthless belief that does not manifest itself in love to both God and man. As love is the highest expression of God and His relation to mankind, so it must be the highest expression of man's relation to his Maker and to his fellow-man.
⇒See a list of verses on LOVE in the Bible.

I. Definition.​

While the Hebrew and Greek words for "love" have various shades and intensities of meaning, they may be summed up in some such definition as this: Love, whether used of God or man, is an earnest and anxious desire for and an active and beneficent interest ins the well-being of the one loved. Different degrees and manifestations of this affection are recognized in the Scriptures according to the circumstances and relations of life, e.g. the expression of love as between husband and wife, parent and child, brethren according to the flesh, and according to grace; between friend and enemy, and, finally, between God and man. It must not be overlooked, however, that the fundamental idea of love as expressed in the definition of it is never absent in any one of these relations of life, even though the manifestation thereof may differ according to the circumstances and relations. Christ's interview with the apostle Peter on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias (Joh 21:15-18) sets before us in a most beautiful way the different shades of meaning as found in the New Testament words phileo, and agapao. In the question of Christ, "Lovest thou me more than these?" the Greek verb agapas, denotes the highest, most perfect kind of love (Latin, diligere), implying a clear determination of will and judgment, and belonging particularly to the sphere of Divine revelation. In his answer Peter substitutes the word philo, which means the natural human affection, with its strong feeling, or sentiment, and is never used in Scripture language to designate man's love to God. While the answer of Peter, then, claims only an inferior kind of love, as compared to the one contained in Christ's question, he nevertheless is confident of possessing at least such love for his Lord.
⇒See the definition of love in the KJV Dictionary

II. The Love of God.​

First in the consideration of the subject of "love" comes the love of God--He who is love, and from whom all love is derived. The love of God is that part of His nature--indeed His whole nature, for "God is love"--which leads Him to express Himself in terms of endearment toward His creatures, and actively to manifest that interest and affection in acts of loving care and self-sacrifice in behalf of the objects of His love. God is "love" (1Jo 4:8,16) just as truly as He is "light" (1Jo 1:5), "truth" (1Jo 1:6), and "spirit" (Joh 4:24). Spirit and light are expressions of His essential nature; love is the expression of His personality corresponding to His nature. God not merely loves, but is love; it is His very nature, and He imparts this nature to be the sphere in which His children dwell, for "he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him" (1Jo 4:16). Christianity is the only religion that sets forth the Supreme Being as Love. In heathen religions He is set forth as an angry being and in constant need of appeasing.
⇒See also the McClintock and Strong Biblical Cyclopedia.

1. Objects of God's Love:​

The object of God's love is first and foremost His own Son, Jesus Christ (Mt 3:17; 17:5; Lu 20:13; Joh 17:24). The Son shares the love of the Father in a unique sense; He is "my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth" (Isa 42:1). There exists an eternal affection between the Son and the Father--the Son is the original and eternal object of the Father's love (Joh 17:24). If God's love is eternal it must have an eternal object, hence, Christ is an eternal being.
God loves the believer in His Son with a special love. Those who are united by faith and love to Jesus Christ are, in a different sense from those who are not thus united, the special objects of God's love. Said Jesus, thou "lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me" (Joh 17:23). Christ is referring to the fact that, just as the disciples had received the same treatment from the world that He had received, so they had received of the Father the same love that He Himself had received. They were not on the outskirts of God's love, but in the very center of it. "For the father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me" (Joh 16:27). Here phileo is used for love, indicating the fatherly affection of God for the believer in Christ, His Son. This is love in a more intense form than that spoken of for the world (Joh 3:16).
God loves the world (Joh 3:16; compare 1Ti 2:4; 2Pe 3:9). This is a wonderful truth when we realize what a world this is--a world of sin and corruption. This was a startling truth for Nicodemus to learn, who conceived of God as loving only the Jewish nation. To him, in his narrow exclusiveism, the announcement of the fact that God loved the whole world of men was startling. God loves the world of sinners lost and ruined by the fall. Yet it is this world, "weak," "ungodly," "without strength," "sinners" (Ro 5:6-8), "dead in trespasses and sins" (Eph 2:1 the King James Version), and unrighteous, that God so loved that He gave His only begotten Son in order to redeem it. The genesis of man's salvation lies in the love and mercy of God (Eph 2:4 f). But love is more than mercy or compassion; it is active and identifies itself with its object. The love of the heavenly Father over the return of His wandering children is beautifully set forth in the parable of the Prodigal Son (Lu 15:1-32). Nor should the fact be overlooked that God loves not only the whole world, but each individual in it; it is a special as well as a general love (Joh 3:16, "whosoever"; Ga 2:20, "loved me, and gave himself up for me").

2. Manifestations of God's Love:​

God's love is manifested by providing for the physical, mental, moral and spiritual needs of His people (Isa 48:14,20-21; 62:9-12; 63:3,12). In these Scriptures God is seen manifesting His power in behalf His people in the time of their wilderness journeying and their captivity. He led them, fed and clothed them, guided them and protected them from all their enemies. His love was again shown in feeling with His people, their sorrows and afflictions (Isa 63:9); He suffered in their affliction, their interests were His; He was not their adversary but their friend, even though it might have seemed to them as if He either had brought on them their suffering or did not care about it. Nor did He ever forget them for a moment during all their trials. They thought He did; they said, "God hath forgotten us," "He hath forgotten to be gracious"; but no; a mother might forget her child that she should not have compassion on it, but God would never forget His people. How could He? Had He not graven them upon the palms of His hands (Isa 49:15 f)? Rather than His love being absent in the chastisement of His people, the chastisement itself was often a proof of the presence of the Divine love, "for whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth" (Heb 12:6-11). Loving reproof and chastisement are necessary oftentimes for growth in holiness and righteousness. Our redemption from sin is to be attributed to God's wondrous love; "Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back" (Isa 38:17; compare Ps 50:21;90:8). Eph 2:4 f sets forth in a wonderful way how our entire salvation springs forth from
the mercy and love of God; "But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ," etc. It is because of the love of the Father that we are granted a place in the heavenly kingdom (Eph 2:6-8). But the supreme manifestation of the love of God, as set forth in the Scripture, is that expressed in the gift of His only-begotten Son to die for the sins of the world (Joh 3:16; Ro 5:6-8; 1Jo 4:9 f), and through whom the sinful and sinning but repentant sons of men are taken into the family of God, and receive the adoption of sons (1Jo 3:1 f; Ga 4:4-6). From this wonderful love of God in Christ Jesus nothing in heaven or earth or hell, created or uncreated or to be created, shall be able to separate us (Ro 8:37 f).

III. The Love of Man.​

1. Source of Man's Love:​

Whatever love there is in man, whether it be toward God or toward his fellowman, has its source in God--"Love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love" (1Jo 4:7 f); "We love, because he first loved us" (1Jo 4:19). Trench, in speaking of agape, says it is a word born within the bosom of revealed religion. Heathen writers do not use it at all, their nearest approach to it being philanthropia or philadelphia--the love betweeen those of the same blood. Love in the heart of man is the offspring of the love of God. Only the regenerated heart can truly love as God loves; to this higher form of love the unregenerate can lay no claim (1Jo 4:7,19,21; 2:7-11; 3:10; 4:11 f). The regenerate man is able to see his fellow-man as God sees him, value him as God values him, not so much because of what he is by reason of his sin and unloveliness, but because of what, through Christ, he may become; he sees man's intrinsic worth and possibility in Christ (2Co 5:14-17). This love is also created in the heart of man by the Holy Ghost (Ro 5:5), and is a fruit of the Spirit (Ga 5:22). It is also stimulated by the example of the Lord Jesus Christ, who, more than anyone else, manifested to the world the spirit and nature of true love (Joh 13:34; 15:12; Ga 2:20; Eph 5:25-27; 1Jo 4:9 f).

2. Objects of Man's Love:​

God must be the first and supreme object of man's love; He must be loved with all the heart, mind, soul and strength (Mt 22:37 f; Mr 12:29-34). In this last passage the exhortation to supreme love to God is connected with the doctrine of the unity of God (De 6:4 f)--inasmuch as the Divine Being is one and indivisible, so must our love to Him be undivided. Our love to God is shown in the keeping of His commandments (Ex 20:6; 1Jo 5:3; 2Jo 1:6). Love is here set forth as more than a mere affection or sentiment; it is something that manifests itself, not only in obedience to known Divine commands, but also in a protecting and defense of them, and a seeking to know more and more of the will of God in order to express love for God in further obedience (compare De 10:12). Those who love God will hate evil and all forms of worldliness, as expressed in the avoidance of the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life (Ps 97:10; 1Jo 2:15-17). Whatever there may be in his surroundings that would draw the soul away from God and righteousness, that the child of God will avoid. Christ, being God, also claims the first place in our affections. He is to be chosen before father or mother, parent, or child, brother or sister, or friend (Mt 10:35-38; Lu 14:26). The word "hate" in these passages does not mean to hate in the sense in which we use the word today. It is used in the sense in which Jacob is said to have "hated" Leah (Ge 29:31), that is, he loved her less than Rachel; "He loved also Rachel more than Leah" (Ge 29:30). To love Christ supremely is the test of true discipleship (Lu 14:26), and is an unfailing mark of the elect (1Pe 1:8). We prove that we are really God's children by thus loving His Son (Joh 8:42). Absence of such love means, finally, eternal separation (1Co 16:22).
Man must love his fellow-man also. Love for the brotherhood is a natural consequence of the love of the fatherhood; for "In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother" (1Jo 3:10). For a man to say "I love God" and yet hate his fellowman is to brand himself as "a liar" (1Jo 4:20); "He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen" (1Jo 4:20); he that loveth God will love his brother also (1Jo 4:21). The degree in which we are to love our fellow-man is "as thyself" (Mt 22:39), according to the strict observance of law. Christ set before His followers a much higher example than that, however. According to the teaching of Jesus we are to supersede this standard: "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another" (Joh 13:34). The exhibition of love of this character toward our fellow-man is the badge of true discipleship. It may be called the sum total of our duty toward our fellow-man, for "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfillment of the law"; "for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law" (Ro 13:8,10). The qualities which should characterize the love which we are to manifest toward our fellow-men are beautifully set forth in 1Co 13:1-13. It is patient and without envy; it is not proud or self-elated, neither does it behave discourteously; it does not cherish evil, but keeps good account of the good; it rejoices not at the downfall of an enemy or competitor, but gladly hails his success; it is hopeful, trustful and forbearing--for such there is no law, for they need none; they have fulfilled the law.
Nor should it be overlooked that our Lord commanded His children to love their enemies, those who spoke evil of them, and despitefully used them (Mt 5:43-48). They were not to render evil for evil, but contrariwise, blessing. The love of the disciple of Christ must manifest itself in supplying the necessities, not of our friends only (1Jo 3:16-18), but also of our enemies (Ro 12:20 f).
Our love should be "without hypocrisy" (Ro 12:9); there should be no pretense about it; it should not be a thing of mere word or tongue, but a real experience manifesting itself in deed and truth (1Jo 3:18). True love will find its expression in service to man: "Through love be servants one to another" (Ga 5:13). What more wonderful illustration can be found of ministering love than that set forth by our Lord in the ministry of foot-washing as found in Joh 13:1-38? Love bears the infirmities of the weak, does not please itself, but seeks the welfare of others (Ro 15:1-3; Php 2:21; Ga 6:2; 1Co 10:24); it surrenders things which may be innocent in themselves but which nevertheless may become a stumbling-block to others (Ro 14:15,21); it gladly forgives injuries (Eph 4:32), and gives the place of honor to another (Ro 12:10). What, then, is more vital than to possess such love? It is the fulfillment of the royal law (Jas 2:8), and is to be put above everything else (Col 3:14); it is the binder that holds all the other graces of the Christian life in place (Col 3:14); by the possession of such love we know that we have passed from death unto life (1Jo 3:14), and it is the supreme test of our abiding in God and God in us (1Jo 4:12,16).

and ps.. your link to lotus trees didn't have any mention that that particular species is culturally believed to be the tree/bush that Christ's crown of thorns was made of.
A useful tree/shrub for the locals however, but I am not convinced that hippo's would fit under them. Perhaps there are some species large enough?

God never saved anyone by love.
He loves us. And sent his Son to die for us. But he saves us by grace. He cant just sneak us in the side door because he loves us. We have to come through Christ.

For The English term: "if you care too" is a "English idiom" showing great respect on a high level to whom you are addressing, I am sorry you took it, to be a harsh statement directed to you.:pensive: I'm not a great speller. But I do have a way with "English words" which Is one of the most beauty grafted language in The world, Meaning, "William Tyndale" who has been given the Title" "The father of The Modern Day English Language. So every time you read the "KJV" Bible the flow and the way the words are dress is "William Tyndale" even many words are created By "TYNDALE" words that never existed even in The Orginal Copied Manuscript of The very words of GOD. I think is wonderful, the way "Tyndale" crafted and created Biblical terms that never existed,
Example: "Am I my brothers Keeper" is only one example, that many think it is a original term.

And concerting shorting the definition of The "love" referring to GOD, is completely "Impossible", So one Must "Rightly divide The Word of "TRUTH" and Theologically it is Impossible to define "The Love" of God in a sentence it takes hours, For There is A language barrier and A translation that must be taken in mind to do it right and not be "Punish" By "THE FATHER" and we already knows his Anger is "WAXING HOT" and His "WRATH" is about o Explode liken to a Terrible Volcano , in any minute, So says "The Biblical Text of Holy Scripture":pensive:

But for anyone wants to see a excellent instructions concerning the meaning of GOD' Word of the definitions "Dr. R. Sproul" has a very excellent "Short Series" on The definition of The biblical "Word" concerning The Love of GOD"


I think a while ago I did post a clip on The Love of GOD.


PS. the love that must humans knows is "sensual", if you love me, I love you back, if you hurt me or say bad things about me, now I want to punish you for treating me bad, or speaking bad about me. and that is not the "LOVE" OF GOD. if you hurt, rape me, kill my mother or Son, I still love you even the love of compassion , so if I hurt, you love me anyhow with kindness and a warm heart, that I can see the "LOVE of Christ in you" Who died for SINNERS, So if I sin against you, you are to take my place and die, even if I have not repented and I have not said, I am sorry for offending you, That is "AGAPE" The Love of GOD!

“Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

And the Bible teaches us "every man is not our brother, although many call themselves christians and that person calls on the Lord and pray every day to God and call on the name of Jesus, does not mean that person is my Brother in "Christ Jesus" And The Father Himself teaches us how to recognize our True brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. be he has "Given us Strict Commands and you know The Father is not smiling not one bit, and HIs SON, at this Moment they are not smiling or but "Waiting Hot" and ready to "Destroy" and Punish with great wrath, even know The whole world is shaking with the Judgment of GOD" his wrath has not come yet ,but it will, come soon. and we are "Warn the People " now! of is Coming Wrath of The Son and The FATHER. now that warning from us, is what you can call "The LOVE of GOD, The Benevolence of GOD":pensive:



Ps. I think the worst thing that ever happen to christians is the internet with the Bible on it, like Luther thought about putting the Bible in the common mans language. for those who are familiar with "the Biblical History" of getting A bible in the common mans hand. I think is a great outstanding History of the grace of God in the category.

and concerning: sword searcher, I do not use it I do not have to use any internet bible services, I learn this stuff years ago, when I was young, Hard copies, I use it to copy and post. Scripture, I Learn the hard way that was before the public internet services. I do not need the internet even for Biblical terminology or bible word definitions in there. I got 50 years of learning that It has been my "JOB" is to read a;ll day almost 50 years 7 days a week, it is a "GIFT" from GOD. a Spiritual Gift. a Gift To read The Bible and related works and words to "THE TRUTH" and not religion, or denminations. Did I complain to Him? yes and became angry while others did not have too, I couldn't stop reading day in and day out 24/7. many have no idea what that means. "it is painful but filled with "The JOY of the LORD" but it gives Strength in the inside of the "SPIRITUAL" Being that will profit in the other world. that is to COME. You study to please God for his purpose and Not Mankind:pensive: if you seek to please man you have be come a enemy of GOD! And He does not take it likely. The Father.

God punish his Sons, when they get out of line . Very violently! He Scorches them, that means more than correction and more than a punishment, He "Scorches them" that is Severe Punishment" that wounds, scars to remind you!:pensive: do it right and do not take Him lightly. And he means that, GOD is No Joke, and he does not smile.
King James Bible
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and Scourgeth :eyes:Every Son whom he receiveth. {not his children but His Sons} He Scourges

Example: the WORDS of Jesus Christ who is The Word of GOD in the OT:

New King James VersionExodus 22:24
and My wrath will become hot, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.

New American Standard Bible
and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children fatherless.


Psalm 109:2
For wicked and deceitful mouths open against me; they speak against me with lying tongues.

Psalm 76:7
Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

And every man is a liar says the Bible and His word is true always.
New International Version Romans 3;4
Not at all! Let God be true, and every human being a liar. As it is written: “So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge.”

New American Standard Bible
Far from it! Rather, God must prove to be true, though every person be found a liar, as it is written: “So That You Are Justified In Your Words, And Prevail When You Are Judged.”

King James Bible
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Even Moses:
New American Standard Bible Hebrews 12:21
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”

NASB 1995
And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “I AM FULL OF FEAR and trembling.”

Let the whole world Know that "We Have A "GOD"! and he is no Wimp! He Thunders His Voice, And the Mountains, Literally Bows down to Him!:pensive:
