Eh… I looked it up and found: ” Doth not nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?”
Eh. No. Nature doth not teach me that.
Cracking photo though.
What a strange quote you found, it makes no sense to me…
Eh? I found it in I Corinthians 11:14
ie. the source you quoted. Now I am puzzled
But nature does teach us. We don’t have to read words and work out where any quotes come from to understand that
Well I could agree, had you not cited the source, for by citing the source you actually misquoted, because the question mark comes after the silly and rather sinister remark about long hair, not where you put it. Any quote from the Bible is always going to send me looking for the full and often silly context in which it was said. But, yes, Nature does indeed teach us (just not that men should not have long hair).
and indeed, what the study of Nature actually teaches us is that most of what is written in the Bible is clearly nonsense, which is why I found it such a bizarre quote that was being reported as coming from the Bible.
Fantastic photo though, as ever.
My quotes are meant as they stand as a discussion point. No research is necessary…
But of course research on the quotes could always lead us on a different path for discussion
And my own thoughts are subtle as you know from our previous conversations (for example)…

Great photo. Beautiful flower. So refreshing!
I am glad you like my flower view. Thank you
You must have been pleased with that quote about long hair, Andrew-Yul?
Nope, I was disgusted by it, and by all the implied things around it.
The two biggest obstacles to peace among humans – belief in old supposedly holy books. They are Mind Poison.
What is the second belief??
And what do you think of the thought itself. It doesn’t matter where it came from!!
*sighs*
What is the matter with everyone these days (not you Claude)?
Everyone seems to be focusing on the written word rather than what is!
“In the beginning was the word!”
…..and that’s when all the trouble started
“whiten your latten and burn your books”
When the comments thread got a bit out of hand I thought of you
I knew exactly what you would be thinking
“What is the matter with everyone these days (not you Claude)?”
Oh, that would be me then?
Utter despair at the species I belong to, from the everyday trivial to the profound. Utter despair. The nonsense they believe in. The falsehoods that drive them on… I was thinking of giving online engagement with them a complete rest, perhaps a permanent rest. Perhaps I should have started that earlier this evening. Anyway, these may be my final foolish words, as a blog commenter if not a blogger. Yes, I think they will be. Farewell and Amen.
What I meant is that here I am thinking about nature, its beauty its cycles etc Nothing more, nothing less. As Ginnie says below, Mother nature.
Then in other places I am talking about the countryside and I am supposedly being political…
It is a wonderful thought for the week Cherie… i love your light blue Morning Glory….peter:)
Thanks Peter, I am glad you like the flower. It was very striking in the Paris sunshine.
Without further ado…YES, Mother Nature teaches us everything we need to know, regardless of what anyone else says!
She does doesn’t she Ginnie
a beautiful face of a beautiful flower
I am glad you like it, Thank you
That’s lovely, Cherie.
Glad you like it
For the Suzies and JTs:
somehow the discussion jumped from here to here.
Fancy to have your say? : )
