GOD ENTERS A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM IN GENESIS 15.
HIS DESCENDANTS SHALL BE LIKE THE STARS--- UNCOUNTABLE, AND SHALL COME FROM A CHILD THAT HIS WIFE SARAI SHALL BEAR.
NOW STOP AND THINK, USE SOME COMMON SENSE. IF THE JEWS ARE ALL OF THOSE THAT CAME FROM SARAI..... WELL HOW MANY JEWS HAVE THERE BEEN SINCE ABRAHAM'S TIME?
THERE ARE ABOUT 15 MILLION JEWS LIVING TO DAY.
ALL DOWN THROUGH HISTORY SINCE ABRAHAM--- WELL NOT COUNTLESS FOR SURE!
THE BIBLE IS READ VERY STRANGELY BY A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE, WHICH INCLUDES A WHOLE LOT OF "MINISTERS OF THEOLOGY."
I MEAN A KID OF 10 CAN READ GENESIS WAY BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY. I WAS RAISED IN A CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL, AND A LOCAL SUNDAY-SCHOOL, BOTH FROM AGE 7. I COULD SURE UNDERSTAND GENESIS WAY BETTER THAN THE MAJORITY OF CHURCH LEADERS TODAY. I COULD EASILY SEE ISAAC CAME FROM ABRAHAM, AND JACOB CAME FROM ISAAC. I COULD READ VERY CLEARLY THAT JACOB HAD 12 SONS. I CAN READ JACOB WAS GIVEN ANOTHER NAME--- ISRAEL. I COULD READ THAT ONE SON WAS CALLED JUDAH. THE WORD JEW COMES FROM THE WORD JUDAH.
I COULD FURTHER READ THERE WERE 12 TRIBES, THE 12 SONS, CALLED CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.
I COULD READ FURTHER INTO THE BIBLE AND SEE THAT AFTER SOLOMON THE 12 TRIBES DIVIDED INTO THE 10 TRIBE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AND THE 3 TRIBE HOUSE OF JUDAH.
IT WAS SIMPLE TO READ THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL WAS TAKEN CAPTIVE BY THE ASSYRIAN EMPIRE, AND LATER THE HOUSE OF JUDAH WAS TAKEN OFF TO BABYLON.
MY THEOLOGY TEACHERS AT THE TIME MADE ALL THIS SIMPLE TO READ ALSO, FOR THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE CLEARLY TAUGHT AND TEACHES.
AND THEY ALSO EXPLAINED TO ME AND TAUGHT ME, AS THE BIBLE TEACHES---- THE HOUSE OF JUDAH BECAME KNOWN AS JEWS. AND THE 10 TRIBES OF ISRAEL NEVER RETURNED FROM THE ASSYRIAN CAPTIVITY, BUT THE JEWS OF THE HOUSE OF JUDAH DID, SOME OF THEM, AFTER 70 YEARS CAME BACK TO THE HOLY LAND FROM BABYLON, AND THEY WERE THE JEWS WHEN JESUS WALKED AND LIVED AMONG THEM.
SO WHEN YOU JUST READ THE BIBLE BELIEVE WHAT IT TEACHES; YOU KNOW NOT ALL ISRAELITES ARE JEWS.
NOW WITH THAT SIMPLE TRUTH YOU CAN SEE THAT THOSE WHO CAME FROM ISAAC VIA ABRAHAM, HAVE INDEED BEEN AS COUNTLESS AS THE STARS ARE.
A GREAT AND WONDERFUL COVENANT BETWEEN GOD AND ABRAHAM.
I WILL BRING YOU THE FULL AND DETAILED TRUTH OF THIS COVENANT, AND HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT, RIGHT DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY. I WILL GIVE YOU ALL THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
ABRAHAM AND SARAI, BEING NOW VERY OLD, AND OUT OF CHILDBEARING AGE, FIGURED GOD HAD FORGOTTEN HIS COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM, AND SET ABOUT TO BRING THIS CHILD DESCENDANT BY THEIR MEANS.
IT IS THE STORY OF HAGAR BEARING A SON FROM ABRAHAM, A SON CALLED ISHMAEL--- GENESIS 16.
GOD MADE IT CLEAR TO ABRAHAM AND SARAI THIS WAS NOT THE SON HE PROMISED THEM; WITH A MIRACLE HE GAVE A SON THAT SARAI CARRIED AND BEARTHED.
BUT HAGAR AND ISHMAEL WERE NOT FORGOTTEN; THEY WOULD MULTIPLY AND BECOME THE ARAB PEOPLE OF TODAY.
GOD NOW WOULD INSTITUTE A PHYSICAL TRAIT ALL ISRAELITE SONS WOULD UNDER GO---- THE PHYSICAL ACT OF CIRCUMCISION--- GENESIS 17.
THAT PHYSICAL ACT WOULD CONTINUE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE START OF THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH, THEN IT WAS NO LONGER A PHYSICAL REQUIREMENT AS WE SEE FROM ACTS 15.
THE IMPORTANT CHAPTER 18 OF GENESIS
THE CHAPTER OPENS UP WITH CLEAR WORDS "AND THE LORD APPEARED UNTO HIM IN THE PLAINS OF MAMRE..."
THERE IT IS, SIMPLE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND--- GOD IS APPEARING TO ABRAHAM!
THE REST OF THE CHAPTER PROVES THE POINT!
ABRAHAM SITS IN THE TENT DOOR IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY.
THREE MEN APPEAR TO ABRAHAM; HE RUNS TO MEET THEM, AND BOWS DOWN.
ABRAHAM DOES NOT WANT THEM TO P[ASS ON UNTIL THEY HAVE RESTED AND BEEN REFRESHED WITH FOOD AND DRINK.
THEY REPLIED, "SO DO AS YOU HAVE SAID." [VERSE 5].
WE READ ON; A MEAL WAS PREPARED. ABRAHAM AND SARAI WERE TOLD AGAIN THAT SARAI WOULD BEAR A CHILD FROM ABRAHAM. SARAI LAUGHED WITHIN HERSELF AS HER DAYS OF CHILDBEARING WERE LONG OVER, AS IS THE NATURAL PROCESS WITH WOMEN.
NOW THE LORD, THE ETERNAL ONE, WAS NOT GOING TO HOLD BACK FROM TELLING ABRAHAM WHAT THE LORD PLANNED TO DO WITH SODOM AND GOMORRAH. AND THE LORD SAID, "BECAUSE THE CRY OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH IS GREAT, AND BECAUSE THEIR SIN IS VERY GRIEVOUS. AND I WILL GO DOWN NOW, AND SEE WHETHER THEY HAVE DONE ALTOGETHER ACCORDING TO THE CRY OF IT, WHICH IS COME UNTO ME, AND IF NOT I WILL KNOW" [VERSES 20, 21].
TAKE NOTE CAREFULLY OF WHAT IS SAID HERE. DO YOU SEE IT? MOST ARE SHOCKED, FOR GOD WAS HAVING TO SEE FOR HIMSELF IF THE CRY FROM HIS ANGELS, ABOUT THESE TWO CITIES WAS REALLY AS BAD AS THEY WERE TELLING HIM. NOW IT IS NOT THAT GOD DID NOT HAVE THE POWER TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON, HE DID AND DOES HAVE SUCH POWER, BUT OBVIOUSLY HE HAD DECIDED NOT TO USE THAT POWER; SOME THINGS GOD WILLS HIMSELF NOT TO EXERCISE. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES. HE DID NOT, IN HEAVEN, DECIDE TO TURN ON HIS CAMERAS AND TV SCRENE TO SEE THE GRIEVOUS SINS GOING ON IN SODOM AND GOMORRAH. HE HAD DECIDED NOT TO USE SUCH POWERS, BUT TO PERSONALLY COME TO EARTH, AS A MORTAL FLESH AND BONE PERSON, AS ALSO THE TWO ANGELS WITH HIM DID ALSO. JESUS THE GOD ALSO DID THE SAME AFTER HIS RESURRECTION FROM DEATH---IN THE GOSPELS--- HE COULD APPEAR AS ETERNAL FLESH AND BONE TO HIS DISCIPLES, EVEN HAVING A MEAL WITH THEM. SO HE WAS ALSO DOING HERE WITH ABRAHAM.
ABRAHAM KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE DISASTER AND DESTRUCTION FOR THE CITIES AND PEOPLE OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
HE UNDERTOOK TO DEBATE WITH GOD!
I MEAN THIS SHOULD BLOW YOU AWAY!
A MAN ACTUALLY DEBATING WITH GOD!
IT ALSO SHOWS YOU THE VERY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP GOD WANTS WITH HIS CREATED BEINGS OF PHYSICAL MAN AND WOMAN. HE HAD THAT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN, SO IT SHOULD NOT BE A SHOCK TO US SEEING HE WOULD LET ABRAHAM ENTER A DEBATE WITH HIM HERE, OVER DESTROYING OR NOT DESTROYING SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
"AND ABRAHAM DREW NEAR, AN D SAID, WILL YOU ALSO DESTROY THE RIGHTEOUS WITH THE WICKED? IF IS THAT THERE BE FIFTY RIGHTEOUS WITHIN THE CITY, WILL YOU ALSO DESTROY AND NOT SPARE, FOR THE FIFTY RIGHTEOUS THAT ARE THERE? THAT BE FAR FROM YOU TO DO AFTER THAT MANNER, TO SLAY THE RIGHTEOUS WITH THE WICKED. AND THE RIGHTEOUS BE AS THE WICKED. THAT BE FAR FROM YOU. SHALL NOT THE JUDGE OF ALL THE EARTH DO RIGHT?"
AND THER LORD SAID, "IF I FIND IN SODOM FIFTY RIGHTEOUS WITHIN THE CITY, THEN I WILL SPARE ALL THE PLACE FOR THEIR SAKES."
THE DEBATE CONTINUED UNTIL ABRAHAM GOT DOWN TO TEN RIGHTEOUS. THE LORD SAID HE WOULD NOT DESTROY THE CITY FOR TEN RIGHTEOUS.
"AND THE LORD WENT HIS WAY, AS SOON AS HE HAD LEFT COMMUNING WITH ABRAHAM. AND ABRAHAM RETURNED UNTO HIS HOME.
END OF CHAPTER 18.
SODOM AND GOMORRAH DESTROYED
AND THERE CAME TWO ANGELS TO SODOM AT EVENING; AND LOT SAT IN THE GATE OF SODOM, AND IN SEEING THEM HE ROSE UP TO MEET THEM, AND BOWED HIS FACE TO THE GROUND. LOT SOMEHOW KNEW THEY WERE NOT JUST TWO HUMAN BEINGS LIKE HIMSELF. WE ARE NOT TOLD HOW HE KNEW.
LOT INVITED THEM INTO HIS HOME TO REST FOR THE NIGHT, BUT THEY SAID NO; THEY WOULD STAY ON THE STREET ALL NIGHT.
LOT WAS NOT EASY TO GIVE UP; HE PRESSED THEM HARD TO COME INTO HIS HOME. THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO SO. LOT MADE A FEAST FOR THEM AND BAKED UNLEAVENED BREAD, AND THEY DID EAT.
IT WAS AS JESUS DID AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, HE ATE FOOD WITH HIS DISCIPLES; THE GOSPELS SO RECORD IT.
BEFORE THEY COULD GO OFF TO SLEEP THE MEN OF THE CITY SURROUNDED THE HOUSE; BOTH YOUNG AND OLD, ALL THE PEOPLE FROM EVERY QUARTER OF THE TOWN.
THE WICKED MEN SHOUTED OUT, TO LOT--- "WHERE ARE THE MEN THAT CAME IN UNTO YOU; BRING THEM OUT THAT WE MAY KNOW THEM.
NOW THE KJV TRANSLATORS USED THE PHRASE "THAT WE MAY KNOW THEM" WHICH ANY THEOLOGICAL SCHOLAR OF ANY WORTH, KNOWS THIS PHRASE MEANS "THAT WE MAY HAVE SEXUAL MATTERS WITH THEM." THIS WAS NOT A POLITE WAY OF SAYING WE'.D LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR LIVES; WHERE ARE THEY FROM; WHAT DO THEY DO FOR JOBS, WHERE ARE THEY GOING?
THESE EVIL WICKED MEN FROM ALL OVER THE CITY, WANTED TO HAVE HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONS WITH TWO NEW GUYS IN TOWN; THEY WANTED SEX THRILLS WITH NEW MEN. I PUT IT BLUNTLY!
LOT GOES OUT TO THEM AND SHUTS THE DOOR BEHIND HIMSELF.
"I PRAY YOU BROTHERS DO NOT DO SO WICKEDLY"
LET'S GET PLAIN HERE! LOT KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED---- SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THEM--- AND LOT A RIGHTEOUS MAN OF GOD SAID, "DO NOT SO WICKEDLY!"
LOT KNEW WHAT THEY WERE AFTER--- THEY WANTED THE MEN SO THEY COULD DO SEXUAL THINGS WIOTH THEM--- SOME NEW MALE FLESH TO HAVE SEXUAL THRILLS WITH!
LOT KNEW THIS WAS WICKEDNESS, SIN, FAR AWAY FROM GOD'S LAW AND COMMANDMENTS.
LOT TRIED ONE MORE WAY TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS.
"BEHOLD NOW, I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS WHICH HAVE NOT KNOWN MAN [NO SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH MAN]; LET ME, I IMPLORE YOU, BRING THEM OUT UNTO YOU, AND DO TO THEM WHAT IS GOOD IN YOUR EYES: ONLY UNTO THESE MEN DO NOTHING; FOR THEREFORE CAME THEY UNDER THE SHADOW OF MY ROOF"
LOT OF COURSE KNEW THE WICKEDNESS AND PERVERTED MIND-SET THE MEN HAD. HE KNEW THEY WOULD REFUSE HAVING LOT'S DAUGHTERS. THIS INSTANCE WAS NO DOUBT INSPIRED OF GOD, TO SHOW US THE DEPTH OF WICKEDNESS AND SIN THAT COMPRISES SAME SEX, SEXUAL RELATIONS.
THE MEN WERE EVEN ANGRIER AND TOLD LOT THEY WOULD DO MORE TO HIM THAN THEY WANTED TO DO TO THE TWO MEN [ANGELS, BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW IT] THAT HAD COME INTO LOT'S HPME.
THEY PRESSED HARD UPON THE DOOR OF THE HOUSE, EVEN TO BREAK IT DOWN.
THE MEN [ANGELS] PULLED LOT BACK INTO HIS HOUSE. AND THEY SHUT THE DOOR.
THE ANGELS SMOTE THE MEN AT THE DOOR WITH BLINDNESS.
THE ANGELS SAID TO LOT, "IF YOU HAVE SON IN LAW, YOUR SONS, YOUR DAUGHTERS, AND WHOEVER YOU HAVE IN THIS CITY AS PART OF YOUR FAMILY, BRING THEM OUT OF THIS CITY. FOR WE WILL DESTROY THIS PLACE BECAUSE THE CRY OF THEM IS WAXEN GREAT BEFORE THE FACE OF THE LORD; AND THE LORD HAS SENT US TO DESTROY THIS PLACE.
"LOT WENT OUT UNTO HIS SONS IN LAW, WHICH MARRIED HIS DAUGHTERS, AND SAID, GET UP OUT OF THIS PLACE, FOR THE LORD WILL DESTROY THIS CITY. BUT HE SEEMED AS ONE THAT MOCKED UNTO HIS SONS IN LAW."
"AND WHEN THE MORNING AROSE, THEN THE ANGELS HASTENED LOT, SAYING, ARISE, TAKE YOUR WIFE, AND YOUR TWO DAUGHTERS, WHICH ARE HERE, LEST YOU BE CONSUMED IN THE INIQUITY OF THE CITY."
SHOULD BE PLAIN FOR YOU TO SEE; EASY WORDS AND CONTEXT HERE, SAME SEX WITH SAME HUMAN KIND--- MEN WITH MEN; WOMEN WITH WOMEN [I'LL SHOW YOU THIS SPELLED OUT SHORTLY] HENCE SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS INIQUITY!
WHILE LOT WAS LINGERING, THE ANGELS TOOK THEM ALL BY THE HAND AND BROUGHT THEM FORTH OUT OF THE CITY; THE LORD BEING MERCIFUL.
WE SEE AS WE READ ON, LOT DEBATED WITH THE LORD; LOT WANTED TO GO TO A SMALL CITY NEARBY; HE WAS GRANTED HIS DESIRE.
WE READ IN VERSES 24, 25--- "THEN THE LORD RAINED UPON SODOM AND GOMORRAH BRIMSTONE AND FIRE FROM THE LORD OUT OF HEAVEN; AND HE OVERTHREW THOSE CITIES, AND ALL THE PLAIN, AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE CITIES, AND ALL THAT GREW UPON THE GROUND."
WE ARE THEN TOLD ABRAHAM GOT UP EARLY IN THE MORNING TO THE PLACE WHERE HE STOOD BEOFRE THE LORD. AND HE LOOKED TOWARDS SODOM AND GOMORRAH, AND TOWARDS ALL THE LAND OF THE PLAIN, AND BEHOLD, AND, LO, THE SMOKE OF THE COUNTRY WENT UP AS THE SMOKE OF A FURNACE.
LAWS TO ANCIENT ISRAEL
UNLAWFUL SEXUAL RELATIONS--- LEVITICUS 18
18 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the Lord your God. After the doings of the land of Egypt, where in you dwelt, you shall not do..... You shall do my judgments, and keep my ordinances, to walk therein: I am the Lord your God......"
MANY LAWS OF SEXUALITY ARE GIVEN BY THE LORD GOD WHO CREATED SEXUALITY.
FOR OUR STUDY WE MOVE TO VERSES 22 AND ON.
"YOU SHALL NOT LIE WITH MANKIND, AS WITH WOMEN KIND. IT IS AN ABOMINATION! NEITHER SHALL YOU LIE WITH ANY BEAST TO DEFILE YOURSELF. NEITHER SHALL ANY WOMAN STAND BEFORE A BEAST TO LIE DOWN THEREWITH.......YOU SHALL THEREFORE KEEP MY STATUTES AND MY JUDGMENTS, AND SHALL NOT COMMIT ANY OF THESE ABOMINATIONS; NEITHER ANY OF YOUR OWN NATION, NOR ANY STRANGER THAT LIVES AMONG YOU. FOR ALL THESE ABOMINATIONS HAVE THE MEN OF THE LAND DONE, WHICH WERE BEFORE YOU, AND THE LAND IS DEFILED...... FOR WHOSOEVER COMMITS ANY OF THESE ABOMINATIONS, EVEN THE LIVES THAT COMMIT THEM SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM AMONG THEIR PEOPLE. THEREFORE SHALL YOU KEEP MY ORDINANCES, THAT YOU COMMIT NOT ONE OF THESE ABDOMINAL CUSTOMS, WHICH WERE COMMITTED BEFORE YOU, AND THAT YOU DEFILE NOT YOURSELVES THEREIN. I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD."
I DID NOT WRITE THESE WORDS, THEY HAVE BEEN ON THE BIBLE FROM THE BEGINNING. THESE ARE NOT WORDS HARD TO UNDERSTAND.
SEXUAL RELATIONS ARE BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS WIFE WITH THESE OVERALL INSTRUCTIONS OF THIS CHAPTER IN LEVITICUS.
SEXUAL RELATIONS WAS INVENTED AND CREATED BY THE ETERNAL GOD; HE HAS THE RIGHT TO SET DOWN THE LAWS WHEREIN SEXUAL RELATIONS WILL BE CARRIED OUT.
IT SHOULD BE VERY CLEAR THAT HOMOSEXUALITY, LESBIANISM, BEASTIALITY, AND SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD! IT IS WICKEDNESS, IT IS DEFILEMENT, IT IS A SIN TO PRACTICE SUCH CUSTOMS!
THIS WAS NOT "DONE AWAY WITH" BY THE NEW TESTAMENT!
THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED TO WRITE----
"FOR THE WRATH OF GOD IS REVEALED FROM HEAVEN AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS" [ROMANS 1: 18].
A DEFINITION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FOUND IN PSALM 1119: 172. THE OPPOPSITE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS IS UN-RIGHTEOUSNESS.
HOLDING THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS CAN BE "WHO HOLD BACK THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS" OR THEY HOLD OR TEACH THAT SUCH AND SUCH IS THE TRUTH OF GOD, WHEN IT IS FULLY THE OPPOSITE OF TRUTH. WE HAVE PEOPLE TODAY WHO SAY GOD IS LOVE AND HE LOVES EVERYONE, SO SAME SEX, SEX, IS FINE; SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS FINE, SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE IS FINE. WE EVEN HAVE HOMOSEXUALS/LESBIAN "CHRISTIAN" CHURCH MINISTERS TODAY.
IT IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD!
READ THE CONTEXT OF THE FOLLOWING VERSES IN ROMANS--- FOR ALL THIS CAUSE GOD ALLOWED THEM, ....."GAVE THEM UP, TO VILE AFFECTIONS, FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE INTO THAT WHICH IS AGAINST NATURE. LIKEWISE ALSO THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF THE WOMAN, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARDS ANOTHER, MEN WITH MEN, WORKING THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY, AND RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES THAT RECOMPENSE OF THEIR ERROR, WHICH WAS FITTING" [ROMANS 1: 26, 27].
ALL SEXUAL SINS HAS ITS PENALTY--- SEXUAL SINS DONE OFTEN ENOUGH RESULTS IN DISEASES OF VARIOUS KINDS; SO IT HAS BEEN DOWN THROUGH THE AGES; SO IT STILL IS TODAY.
A SECTION OF THE BIBLE THAT SAYS WHAT IT MEANS AND MEANS WHAT IT SAYS.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE A THEOLOGY DEGREE TO READ THESE VERSES AND KNOW WHAT THEY CLEARLY TEACH, AND WHAT GOD THINKS ABOUT WHAT MUCH OF THE WESTERN WORLD IS NOW INTO; AND MORE INTO WITH EACH PASSING WEEK, MONTH, AND YEAR.
JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 24 THAT BEFORE HE COMES AGAIN TO EARTH LITERALLY, "EVIL WILL ABOUND...."
WE ARE CLOSER THAN EVER BEFORE TO THE VERY END TIME OF THIS AGE OF SATAN AND SIN.
THE BOOK OF REVELATION WILL BE FULFILLED!
AND JESUS WILL RETURN TO SAVE MANKIND FROM THEMSELVES, AND TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH!
WE CONTINUE TO PRAY "THY KINGDOM COME; THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS DONE IN HEAVEN."
