THE MOLTEN CALF AND GOD CONSUMING ISRAEL
Exo 32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. Exo 32:4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Exo 32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD. Exo 32:6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. Exo 32:7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted...

Isa 35:3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Isa 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. Isa 35:5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Isa 35:6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. There are a great number of blessings that Israel will enjoy once the kingdom of heaven is established on the earth. Dozens upon dozens could be listed from the things spoken about by Isaiah alone. When I used the expression “hallmark blessings,” (which of course is...
Read MoreTHE DOCTRINE OF THE “10,OOO INSTUCTORS IN CHRIST”
1Co 4:10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 1Co 4:11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 1Co 4:12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 1Co 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 1Co 4:14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 1Co 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Most, if not...
Read MoreCONTRADICTIONS IN THE KING JAMES VERSION?
Are there errors and contradictions in the KJV bible? But now before dealing with any of the examples of ‘supposed errors’ that you cite, I want to say a few things about the overall issue of there being a number of differences between what is recorded in the Samuel/Kings account of things in Israel’s history and what is recorded in the Chronicles account of that same time. For some times folks fail to realize that they should actually expect differences to exist between the two accounts. Not because they are the result of ‘legitimate scribal errors,’ or anything like that. But because they are two purposely different accounts. So first of all it is important to realize and understand that there are reasons why God has two separate historical accounts of the...
Read MoreTHE TREE OF GOOD AND EVIL AND THE GAP THEORY
What is the purpose behind “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” and why the penalty of death in connection with eating of it? Gen 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. My understanding is that the implementation of the plan of evil took place in the heavens first among the angelic realm and then upon the earth. The fact that the plan of evil was already in existence by the sixth day of creation is evident to me by the fact...
