This statement goes against scripture. Read Romans 13, it deals with all governing authorities being servants and agents of god. Does this scripture still apply today? If not, why?
Matthew 11
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
The theory you put forward is neither easy nor light, it is convoluted and bogged down with unnecessary loops and knots. The truth is simple, not complicated.

ur problem jiggerj is that u think that God should grant u entry into his kingdom just for being jiggerj. when was the last time someone stopped by and gave u 1 tone of gold.. for free? a giant diamond? a storeroom full of flawless diamonds each the size of a football field? this still does not equate to the value of God's priceless gift.
You've got to WORK FOR IT!

Oh no, no. lol From what I've been reading from other members, Jesus took all the hard work away. We are forgiven everything. EVERYBODY goes to heaven now. Sure, there are those that won't feel guilty about their sins, but that's the way they are made and can't feel what they CAN'T feel. They can't change and grow because it's simply not in them to do so. The rest of us automatically feel guilty and sorry when we wrong someone - it's natural for us. So, no more hard work. We're headin' for that great Disney World in the sky!

The root morphology of the word yoke is connected to three and tree. Scripture is the same in all ages.
"In Hebrew, ‘Three’ is word 2847. It means ‘Threefold’ and ‘Captain,’ as in, “One in charge of three.” Tree (1012) means ‘Strength.’ This is the picture of the shepherd’s crook and the ox head, which implies the word yoke from the same root. The yoke guides the ox. Combined, they indicate strong authority. “The yoke is understood as a Staff on the shoulders.” We can also see this in the depictions of Christ carrying the lamb (Adam). The Lexicon points out that, “often, two ox were yoked together. An older, more experienced ox would be teamed up with a younger, less experienced ox. The older ox in the yoke is the “strong authority” who, through the yoke, teaches the younger ox.”
The mother’s womb is the shadow of the water where we can see the idea of an older yoked to the younger for the same purpose, but it takes three. The water of our body is the shadow of the womb of the Earth, but it takes three (Sun, Moon, Earth). The worm becomes the butterfly in the end, but not apart from three. Before metamorphosis takes place, the worm consumes its environment. What metamorphosis is taking place between the Earth we bind here and the Heaven above? " From the book series, "Involution and Evolution, Volume I."
Of course, being yoked to the mother is not a burden at all. There are trials in life for sure, but following the law of love is not a hard burden. The real burden is fighting the one you are yoked to. This is a trial of fire. God is invariable.

if there is a GOD WHERE IS HE???? (and no he is not inside each of us...that is the latest explanation, because there is none..if he were, then we would not have the pain, suffering and atrocities we see every day.)
You can't appreciate pleasure without pain to contrast it, you can't appreciate light without dark, etc.
The universe is about balance, and if there is no counterweight (bad, dark, etc.) to compliment the other, everything would fall apart.
By the way, they say God is invisible. Did you know you have an invisible side to yourself which dictates who you are and what kind of person you are? God is not just inside you, he is also outside of you. Life itself is God, and you are part of it.edit on 24-8-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

The title of or embedded vid is "Bible Code - Chuck Missler on the Hidden Torah Message" which I was pointing out has a problem. So yes you are promoting it sadly the fact you are then stating you are simply taking someone's word and in the same paragraph saying its evidence is sort of disheartening to me.

I commend you on what you are trying to reveal here but I must remind you that the carnally minded cannot and will not comprehend spiritual truths. Many are not ready for the meat of the Word and can only drink the milk of the Word.

Jiggerj is correct in saying that we have zero work to do, in order to gain salvation. The only "work" we have is the work of accepting it, which is to believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord.

What about the woman who saved the school from being shot up recently? She would gladly tell you about God being her strength. Many times people point out the bad and use it as evidence for lack of God, but I say you are missing a lot of the evidence for God, and how He does step in. Why not every time? Why not have perfection? I get that, but here is why: Man was given free will, and that free will does not always line up with God, and so the actions of a persons who is disobedient to God can not only affect himself, but others.
God does not intervene always with free will, as He gives us a choice, but he does intervene with those who are aligned with Him. There is a lot of evil in this world, but also a lot of good. If a man decides to get drunk and drive home, then runs into an innocent woman and her child, which both die. Is this God's fault, or the man's fault? Clearly it is the mans fault. This logic may seem cold, but that is why Jesus is in the world, to teach people how to live, to show us that our actions affect more than just ourselves, to save us because we are in need of saving.
So whats your plan? We know the world is broken, but do you want more broken people trying to fix broken peoples problems? No we need someone perfect to save us from our sins, to guide us in the right direction, and that is Jesus, and he is here. Evil men succeed when good men do nothing.
