1 | Which promises? | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 12710 | ||
Joe This does become sticky, and particularly with today’s teaching focusing on the material blessing promises to Israel. Any time you tell people they were meant to be rich, it excites the people and sells real well. People will come back for more and people coming back is what fills churches. However preaching and teaching a falsehood does not make a falsehood true. Yes your right there are spiritual truths that were given to Israel that apply to each of us today, just as some of the curses apply. But the teaching that we should read church every time it says Israel in the bible is just a falsehood. There are people that go out and walk around land claiming it for their own. That is nonsense! (now don’t everybody write to tell how it has happened that is nonsense) What makes anyone believe God will take one piece of land and give it to another? What happens if the land is owned by Godly people that are keeping to give to the a church? Is God going to take it from them to give to you to make you a land baron? Now if God tells you to go walk around a piece of land and claim it then the promise is to you and you should expect it to happen. Joe you brought up a point that many churches don’t teach the Old Testament and that is wrong. We are to teach and preach the whole Bible rightly dividing the Word of God and holding to the truths that are contained in both the Old and New Testament. However you observation is unique as I find many popular Pastors like to preach from the Old Testament. They find it easier to manipulate the Old Testament characters to their purpose |

I would love to attend a Sunday school class that went through the entire Pentateuch some time. Seems like Leviticus and Deuteronomy are quite overlooked or just dismissed as OT stuff which has no value for the believer in Jesus Christ. --Joe! |

Joe your right there the Pentateuch is rich in wisdom, knowledge, and is of great value. I would say they are probably my favorite to read. Exodus always gives me a lesson if faith. I catch myself saying if I saw this or I saw that I would be so set on fire for God. Then I think about the children of Israel walking through a wall of water on dry ground and three days later asking if there is a God! Our belief has to be based on faith because even physical proof doesn't keep us convince once we can't see it again. | ||||||
