Inerrant Lie #13

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":

The rockers Slipknot (in their song, ‘Snuff,’) say "angels lie to keep control [or is it "cunt- roll?" “cunt- troll," perhaps?]." The anonymous writer of Hebrews likewise implies angels lie, saying: "For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast... [Hebrews 2:2a]."

“The apostle Paul” (Saul of Tarsus) volunteers indictments against angels' lies in more than one of his epistles. To the Colossians, “Paul” writes, "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels... [Colossians 2:18a]," while, to the Corinthians, he warns of false apostles, saying: "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light [2 Corinthians 11:14]." To the Galatians, “Paul” writes, “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed [Galatians 1:8].”

Whether or not it's a true statement that “angels lie” might depend on what the one speaking or writing the statement calls an “angel.” In the canon of the 'Holy Bible', it certainly seems scribes lie to keep their kings enthroned: and that more often and more resolutely than angels lie to keep scribes confused.

Luke says the angel "Gabriel" told the Blessed Virgin, (of the child which she should bear): "He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David [Luke 1:32]." Laying aside the obvious red- herring, "his father David,": Let's take a look at the business- end of "the throne" in question.

1 Chronicles 29:23 says of Davey's throne: "Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father..." meaning: either Gabriel lied [i.e. David's throne is “the throne of the LORD”; not David's throne]; or David (”the King of the Jews”) and his scribe presumed (or, “took a big, steaming shit,” in contemporary jargon) upon someone else's throne in telling the above lie from First Chronicles.

According to Gabriel (and the canon generally): it is the scribe of First Chronicles (and his king) who lied about David's throne. This presumption upon the throne of the LORD is implied by Gabriel’s word that “JESUS,” the “son of David,” shall be called “the Son of the Highest.” In fact, only in 1 Chronicles 29:23 is Davey's throne referred to as “the throne of the LORD.” It is, however, recorded generally in the scriptures that Davey preferred to be referred to by the following simile: “as an angel of God” (i.e. the LORD).

Psalm 89 says, in effect, that what the angel Gabriel indicated (in the things he told the Blessed Virgin) was that Jesus’ throne (i.e. “the throne of his father David”) is one of infamous shame; not of glory or honor. More to the point, perhaps, Psalm 89 says particularly, “Thou hast made [David's] glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground… thou hast covered him with shame. Selah [Psalms 89:44 & 45].”

In light of Psalm 89: how– besides by presumption– could the throne David and his son Solomon sat on be “the throne of the LORD,” as the scribe of First Chronicles calls it? If it were, the LORD would have cast His own throne down, according to the psalmist who wrote Psalm 89. That would mean the LORD abhorred His own throne what time He put David in it: something which is contrary to the entire canon.

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word": A number of times in the 'Holy Bible' canon, the LORD is identified...
