Bible Note: Greetings Lionstrong and Steve! May I literally take a mediating position. I think both of you has a valid point that is not necessarily opposite of the other. I think Steve is correct that 2 Chr. 7:14 is not addressed to Christians, but to Jews. Thus, it is not offically a "promise" for us today. However, I think Lionstrong is correct that 2 Chr. 7:14 can be applied as a principle. Any nation which seeks God, humbles themselves and prays will be blessed by God. What do you guys think?
