2. Interpretation.
Although I know this is just from a post. A post each can assign value as they choose. It makes a person think.

Frog is biblical symbol for false prophet, crab is a shellfish, the representation for unclean food.

This is a great example of perspective, it actually reflects how many religions interact. Your thoughts are wrong, so that proves I am right. While opposite side says same thing. Neither stops and thinks on the actual thoughts, nor the teachings that tell each of them that kindness without judgment is important.

The Jewish person says Mohammad was not a prophet and claim Christ was not divine, so they claim that those that believe that are wrong.

The Christians say the Jews and Muslims do not recognize the divinity of Christ, so they claim what they say is wrong.

The Muslims say the Christians and Jews do not understand things about Mohammad, so they claim what they say is wrong..

And TV makes 'flipped' shows about hopelessness and ignores them all.

:shrug:


(Note: Sub divisions within each religion not mentioned here, but you could do same thing with different sects of many religions. Where each sect says they are right. Also you can add Buddhism, and some other beliefs I would guess.)

Personally, I believe nobody understands the mysteries of God, so although I have my beliefs(Christian with belief in the divinity of Christ) I am not going to tell others what they must think, and instead just try and live in kindness(knowing I fall short). If God created me to be wrong(although of coarse I do not believe that) who would I be to argue with that.


:loveya: :hug:

4. 'flipped' American pop TV shows about hopeless ignorance = L O S T
enabling misinterpretation that 'frogs' are/were instead known by Biblical prophets to be a sentinel species able to focus attentions upon wayward societies by way of their doings, not-doings and/or deformities in ways only rodent droppings may be able to suggest in Native American cultures = some false prophets are not false they are merely misunderstood until such time as their means are transformed before the eyes of a 50%+1 viewing public = "there will always be war, and rumors of war" = Cain hitting Abel on the head with a rock ending him in a region where Moloch is a whole other kettle of fish



You may have heard of them: frogs so deformed that even a veteran wildlife researcher's jaw will drop in amazement. Many species of frog, toad, and salamander have been disappearing worldwide for over a decade. But widespread deformities open a new and disturbing chapter in the mystery of the frogs. Something in the pond water is causing thousands of these animals to develop defects. And some scientists believe that hormone-mimicking pesticides are to blame.

4. Description:

The goal of our studies is to assess the significance of endocrine disruptors that activate retinoid signaling pathways for the development of deformities in frogs, and to understand their mechanism of action so as to better assess the implications for human health.

5. Lots of interpretations
We are totally on different levels, I didn't get your point, but will try and expand mine.

your original post reminded me of one interpretation, there are probably many more.

:shrug:

By biblical, I was referring to this verse.

13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.


It is the opposite of this verse.

1Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:


If something has spiritual experiences and they are not liked, people quote the first part. If it is someone they like, they quote the second part.

This way people get to pick and choose in there own brain, who is good and who is evil, and still get to claim it comes from the bible.

I probably posted original response because I read your thread after a Revelations thread.
