The Bible is a beautiful STORY, sure, but not all worthwhile quotations can be credited to it. The writing at the top of the bookstore stairs is the true source. And the excerpt from Hebrews is a very, very loose attempt at drawing reference to this quote from the New Testament. And don't forget that the most beautiful contributions to poetry and literature don't need to have anything to do with the Bible - which is just one of thousands of old works of fiction.

"it's an inscription at the top of the stairs of a bookshop in Paris, Shakespear and Co., that was bought by an American man,Mr Whitman, who probably wrote this sentence a hundred years ago."

Ummm....no. it's a verse in the New Testament of the Bible:

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:2

That was there long before Shakespeare or Whitman existed.

Did Prophet Nathan L Simmons die of AIDS?

John 3-10-15-Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Note: unless you have medical records, indicating that the "Man of God" die of AIDS or Cancer, for you, "silence is golden." I Chronicles 16:22-Did not the Father clearly state, "Touch not mine anointed and do my prophet no harm? Selah. John 11:21- 46-Martha then said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. Even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You." Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?" She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me." When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth." The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go." Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done. 1 Corinthians 12:7-And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. Based on the fullness of the "Godhead," you can now clearly know that my brother, Prophet Nathan L. Simmons, did not die of aids and cancer. God states, this to Isreal/Zion, "But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another." Satan attacked by brother in a very great way, however, my brother had this stance until the day he left a went to eternally dwell with the Father, " Sojourn with me if you will, beyond Jupiter, Venus, Mars, into the heavens, so that we will be seated in heavenly places, so that we may hear what the spirit of Jesus Christ is saying to the churches." Have you ever heard of demonic attacks by satan? The spirit of witchcraft? Phillipians 3:18-20-(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
