Altogether

 

    Altogether means completely, all things considered, or on the whole.   In the Bible there are five Hebrew words and three Greek words that signify altogether.   The most common word in Hebrew is legammri (לְגַמרֵי).  In Aramaic it is KUL (כול) which means everything.  The most common word in Greek is entelós (εντελώς).  In Latin it is omnino.  Altogether was introduced to the English language around the 12th century by putting all and together into one word to reference a group (wholly, entirely, or completely).

    Only a fool would say that there was no God.  Look around.  He is evident in all your see, the mystery of words, nature, people, and more.  Fools are corrupt, so their actions are evil.  You cannot find good among fools.  God looks down from Heaven at all humanity to see the wise.  A wise person seeks God.  He is searching for people who understand.  However, it appears people altogether have forsaken God because no one does good without Him.

    People's mouths are filled with wickedness as they speak lies.  People sit around gossiping and slandering other people not even thinking about how you are all God's children.  God remained silent and altogether people believed that He didn't care.  When He has had enough He will rebuke you listing all the charges against you.  The only way out is to repent now and allow God to forget you folly.  The other option is to be torn apart without hope of help.  

    The lover is dark and dazzling with wavy black hair.  His eyes sparkle when he looks at her.  He smells nice.  He is strong.  He has a noble stature.  His mouth is sweet.  Altogether he is desirable in everyway to this woman.  He lover (husband) is her best friend.  She values him over all other men.  Women cherish men like this.

    Give thanks to God.  That is the sacrifice that He wants from you.  A thankful heart honors Him and receives salvation.  Altogether we can have a real relationship with God and start working for a better world.  We will find perfection in Heaven.
