Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. (Proverbs 29:18)
138113
God gives us a vision.  What he personally wants us to do and what his will is for us personally.  That is why every true believer has the Holy Spirit, to guide them personally.  Where there is no knowledge of the will of God the people perish.  Part of the will of God is that we keep his law.  Jesus said If you love me keep my commandments.

people eagerly gobble up unsound doctrine, as the bible says. just a sign of the times.  count yourself blessed that you know the truth ( i do). because in the end....the only thing left standing will be the truth....and those who live according to it. peace.

As others have mentioned, this verse refers to those people who were going astray after they were shown the straight path. So Allah revealed this verse, meaning that if you are indeed truthful, then you would hope for death so that you await your destiny.\nBut those who are wrong doers would never long for death as they fear the punishment that awaits them.\nLonging for death does not mean committing suicide by the way but it just means that if a person is good then he would prefer to die in a state of piety rather than after doing bad deeds.

The world will not go on long in the condition that it is in.  This is the very reason life began and the same reason it will end as we know it.  The Lord is going to fix things how he wants them to be.

the bible was also very clear about the death penatly , to enforce need 3 witness of good character.one of the problems in American justice system is that we have to many lawyers who do not care about justice. there only care about getting there client off and that is not justice. once heard a famous attroney say that he never ask his cleint wheter or not if he committed the crime. only focoused on ways to avoid trail. in a system like that you will never have justice.and the door swings the other way also that if you ruin justice by trying to get ever one off that those that are innocent have to pay the price.

Ecclesiastes 5:10 \n"Whoever loves money never has money enough; \nwhoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his \nincome. This too is meaningless."\n\nLuke 12:19-21\nAnd I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good \nthings laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, \ndrink and be merry." "But God said to him, 'You \nfool! This very night your life will be demanded from \nyou. Then who will get what you have prepared for \nyourself?' "This is how it will be with anyone who \nstores up things for himself but is not rich toward \nGod."

Just like all Scripture, this one too, is often misquoted by people who do not understand the context or the meaning. So, while it's sad, we need to pray for them to have their eyes opened and try to gently instruct them (1Corinthians 12:31) "in a more excellent way". \n\nUnless you undersstand the culture of the time, it would be easy to misunderstand the verse. When God gave this law to Israel through Moses, it was set as a "Maximum" penalty. In other words "you shall take no MORE than an eye for an eye".\nExodus 21 goes on to say that if you strike a servant of yours and they lose an eye or a tooth, you should set them free on account of the eye or the tooth.\nLeviticus 24:22 (repeating the same command) the also says that it applies without respect to persons (whether a native or a stranger).\nWhen Jesus Quoted this passage he went on to explain that to fulfill this law means not taking any vengeance.\nMatthew 5:39-49

I've never seen that before, but it's an intriguing statement.  I can see the truth in it in a way.  If you prefer to turn a blind eye to issues or bury your head in the sand, you are doomed to extinction.  The ones who speak up and fight for what they believe in are the ones who will change and shape the world.  There's some good food for thought here.

Law, in its first form, was a set of guidelines given by God to help you stay spiritually healthy.\n\nLaw, now, is a bent-out-of-shape, useless, piece of RED-TAPE.\n\nYeah. Thats law.

that is truly a good message. yes i have faith and it has seen me through plenty of hard times. i have noticed by some of these other answers people like to twist words around. and make something negative out of a positive message. i haven't read any thing in that message that says faith is blind, i take the message as meaning that if you trust in the lord you dont need too see.\nwhat was quoted was\n2nd Corinthians 5:7 for we walk by Faith not by sight. \nSome people may wonder what the bible means when it says walk by faith not by sight. \n\nso i take it that the person who said that this means faith is blind and thats wrong is saying the bible is wrong.\n\nseems like the devil was offend by your message great job may you keep on doing gods work.
