These Kings overtake one another for doing wrong/evil only for them to end up doing the same thing? Is it power and money that corrupts them?

Why did Israel question the false King Absalom and made King Solomon his brother King for his righteousness yet Israel allowed Rehoboam do sinful things? Generation gap? It's sad to see this pattern of good vs evil in generations of Kings.

Curious to read on if Asa overtakes Bahaah King of Israel and restore all 12 tribes as one and follow the God again.

Verses 2 and 3 demonstrate GOD'S Grace; as He did not have to provide the nation's a means to know Him and His Ways!

We can hear the voice of God when we obey His law and command. The law of God is written in the table of our heart in form of conscience which every body has.

Begging your pardon, the Hebrew word Har means mountain, not valley. The word for valley is 'Emek' as in Emek Refaim where David defeated the Philistines

4 parts total of these Grace of God verse inspirations by some of my brethren.

Good note Jesse. As it is sad to hear. We must be vigilant to spot false prophets/teachers.

Just as I would like to elaborate on the word Easter. As you may know. The word "Easter" is only used one time in the Bible in Acts 12:4. From the same Greek word that denotes "passover" 28 times in the NT. The word Easter actually comes from a pagan goddess named "Eostre". Inserted by the Chaldean/RC church.

Learning this I myself don't use the word "Easter" anymore.

Hopefully this information may help spread the truth.

God Bless.

Amen Chris,

With teachings like that, I just pray that those under his ministry will see the error!

"For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgement and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? For we know him that hath said, Vengenance belongeth to me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" Hebrews 10:26-31

That was very sad to read, Jesse. And this type of belief & twisting of God's Word is becoming increasingly prevalent as supposed men of God weaken the "offence of the Cross" making it 'more palatable' to their congregants & the world. They have more regard to their own position & acceptability than to the destiny of Christ-less souls.

I just read this earlier today. This was posted online by someone who calls themselves a Pastor. Here is the actual quote:

"The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves."

Now, I see two parts to this statement and I disagree with both. First of all, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the reason why we celebrate. Secondly, no matter how much we commit ourselves to helping others, we cannot save ourselves, period. If we could save ourselves by good works, we would not need a Savior!

This pastor in my opinion, who also happens to be a member of congress, would be considered a false prophet!

I feel like i have a lot in common with Jesus. A lot of similarities. Does the Bible ever mention about Jesus having any romantic relationship? Or even a desire to have a romantic relationship? I've always felt different. I've never desired any romantic relationship. But I've always loved to take care of animals. Jesus loves to take care of us. I've had jobs working with animals. Then i started to see the Bible verse : Jeremiah 29:11. I thought that was god 's way of telling me that his plan for my life was to have a lifelong career working with animals. But those jobs did not last as long as I'd hoped. It felt like a peice of myself was missing. Then during this corona virus i started to write in my journal about my personal experiences. Through the process, i realized that i was answering a lot of questions I've had about myself all my life. Finally i understood me & i realized that maybe this was god's plan for me all along. His plan was for me to seek out personal information about myself. It reminds me of another Bible verse : Matthew 7:7. And that's exactly what is been doing. I was seeking out information to understand what makes me different. I was asking personal questions about myself because I'd rather understand, instead of doubt & the door was opened wide for me to see the answers to those questions. My prayer is that my story can help anyone else who feels different. Its OK to be different no matter what & it's healthy to accept yourself!

Gary,

It can be called either New Testament or New Covenant. I call it the New Testament but it would not be wrong for me to call it the New Covenant. There are several places in the "NT" where we see the word covenant and testament. Both those words in the Greek text are the words DIATHEKE, and they can be translated into English as either testament or covenant. They both mean the same thing, so it would not be wrong to call it either way!

Hello Gary,

I did a little search for you. As I cannot say when the word "covenant" was replaced with "testament" in the Holy Bible. To begin they mean the same thing. Covenant is still used in the OT over 250 times. Testament and covenant are used in the NT for the same Greek word they are translated from.

The word covenant seems to have it's origin in old French. The word testament seems to have it's root from Latin. Making their way to English.

Both meaning the same thing as a "disposition,pledge, pact, or treaty".

Hope that helps. God Bless.

Here's some more for you Gerald. Matthew 5:10-12.

Gerald,

Maybe Matthew 5:10 might be what you are looking for, which says "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

This is just a guess on my part. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

In Genesis chapter 8, why did Noah send out a raven. I don't understand what the purpose of this was.

2 Corinthians 4:3-7 But if the gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

In whom the god(devil) of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
