Know thy self............Know thy Christ

Socrates was a philosopher and encouraged men to "think."  However, he was a man and fallen.  He formed the foundation for much of psychology today.  If one takes a careful look at psychology, especially at the advertising industry, it is very obvious that man UNDERSTANDS the power of lots and lots of exposure to sell a product or to promote a certain political or religious agenda.  Women are led into the hospitals to birth their babies because they have been "feared" into the fallen nature of man.....However, there are times where hospitals are beneficial as well in the birthing of baby......let us let God lead instead of the flesh.


Do men think that God does not understand psychology??????

Yes men, especially the fallen man, do not think that God understand's the psychology of the mind.

When we look at God's word (the KJV1611) and the entirety of scripture from a chapter by chapter perspective......

How many pages of the bible are dedicated to the creation story?....about 1 and 1/2.  Unfortunately, many men dedicate more time studying creation without God and Christ's salvation in mind and end up setting the stage for evil as a result.

How many pages of the bible are dedicated to the story and life of Joseph (in the Genesis account) ?...about 10, Joseph was beaten and rejected.

How many pages of the bible are dedicated to the story and life of king David? 1sam 16:13-1 king 2:10, and 1 Chronicles 11-29 ...over 40 not including the Psalms and references back to David as the King after God's heart.  David fought the sin nature!!

How many pages of the bible are dedicated to the life of Christ while he was on earth? over 70.  Christ died for sinful men!!!  All the way to victory and into eternity!  Amazing Love how can it be.  That's not even including the writings before he came to earth and the writings after he was here and rose again.

How many pages of the bible are dedicated to the story and life of Laura.  Maybe 1/2 a page in the Genesis account in Chapter 10.....and then on to the church account as Laura decided to obey God's word. And maybe perhaps a few descriptions of the gentiles in the old testament and gospel. The church account consists of about 45 pages.....oh......

How many pages of the bible are dedicated to the story and life of Socrates? Maybe 1/2 a page in the Genesis account in Chapter 10

ok so some conclusions on who God thinks is the most important based on basic mathematical importance and who gets the highest score of importance based on numbers of pages attributed in the Holy Bible.

1st place: Christ, Score=70+
2nd place: Church (Laura as obedient to the Word), Score=45+ pages
3rd place: King David, Score=40+pages
4th place: Joseph, Score=10 pages
5th place: Creation Story, Score=1& 1/2 story
6th place: Socrates=maybe 1/2 a page  I believe Darwin and other corrupted men also fit into this category......



In conclusion......if you KNOW THY CHRIST.......you WILL be well off and saved from the mud of this life. no matter what.  Same applies to me.....Laura
