One more thing... Steve, I have read your user info and saw that you are an elder in the Church. I did not know this prior to my exegesis I gave to you on Ezra. I apologize for challenging you and I hope that you will forgive me for this. I do strongly believe that what I said about Ezra is absolutely true, however, I should have done it in a more respectful way. Please let me know what you think of my exegesis, and prayfully consider the implications of both of our views. Look forward to talking with you! ischus |

Hello ischus, There is no need to apologize for the challenge. I could not detect any disrespect. As to your exegesis, EdB has given you a good set of verses, but let's put some of this together. Ammon and Moab were under a general condemnation for several generations because of they way they treated Israel (Deut 23:3). Also, if you look at Solomon's life, you see how his wives (among whom were Ammonites and Moabites) turned his heart away to foreign gods (1 Kings 11:1). Now, it's true that some from these countries were faithful to God (Ruth 1:4,16; 1 Chron 11:39), but these were the exception. Steve |
