QUOTE (Guardian Of Centurian @ May 29 2008, 05:32 AM)

From all the discussion had within the forum I find it rather interesting that with many Scripture quoted E-war of the words that occur that the Old testament is rarely quoted whilst is shares unequal attention to that of what we give to the New testament. I have stated I have a rather small knowledge base of the Great Book Of Life ( slowly wisdom is coming as my knowledge grows ) but I can not believe that there is a Book Of Wisdom in the Book Of Life I debated with another over its existence yet it does. Has anybody studied this? What wisdom have you found?

1: But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.
2: In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,
3: And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.
4: For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.
5: And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.
6: As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
7: And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.
8: They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
9: They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.
I've never looked it up before, but, for being outside of the canon (Apocrypha), it has some interesting stuff in it.
