Tomorrow march down against them. In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa developed a severe disease in his feet, for which he sought the help of physicians, not the Lord 2 Chronicles Asa died two years later and was buried with his ancestors in Jerusalem, in the grave that he had dug for himself 2 Chronicles — Wounded during the fighting at Ramoth-gilead, Jehoram retired to Jezreel in Judah. During his convalescence a revolution took place and Jehu was anointed king at Ramoth-gilead.
The author of Kings speaks of both Jehoram of Israel and Jehoram of Judah in the same passage, and both reigned at the same time. Both Jehorams are also referred to as Joram, even in the same translation in the same breath.
Jehoram began to reign in Israel in the 18th year of Jehoshaphat of Judah and ruled 12 years 2 Kings William F. Albright dated his reign to — BCE, whereas E. Ahaziah was the youngest son of Jehoram of Judah. According to 2 Chronicles —17, his older brothers had been carried off in a Philistine and Arab raid. Such prayer may well have involved leaping and dancing, since leaping is associated with joy and the praise of God across the Bible.

We believe news can and should expand a sense of identity and possibility beyond narrow conventional expectations. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it.

What distresses you most about my comment, is that I believe that the Bible is both an divine and a human document. The wonder, miracle, and mystery of the Gospel is that it has not been utterly destroyed over the years by earnest humans who are in fact human, and do make mistakes in translation, and also, I think, in understanding.
However, that does not make me right and others wrong. The Holy Spirit of Christ blesses me daily as the paraclete who walks beside me and opens up the Gospel in new and inspired ways that are intended for my needs, as the Holy Spirit does the same for you and all who seek to deepen their personal relationship with our Savior.
I am most humble and proud to call myself a Christian, and I pray more humbly each day that my life with Christ will grow deeper, as I know that God also wishes for me. Also, by the way, I read a large number of translations and paraphrases of the Bible.
That was unintentional, and it is indeed a paraphrase, and a marvelous one it is. I hope you would be willing to try it, as well as J. November 21, at pm. Thanks for taking the time to respond Paula. I appreciate it. I know you put precious time and effort into your comments. I also apologize for the tone I used in my original post. As far as your comments, I cant help feel your distrust in the Bible to some degree.
Am I right..? It is simply NOT the work of imperfect humans. Today, thousands upon thousands of copies of the original manuscripts are in existence, to compare for reference.
A cross examination of each verse, easily points out errors made in copying, therefore making it easy to remove the discrepancies. Some say the bible contradicts itself.. This is simply NOT the case. Granted there are a few instances where it does appear that way. In each and every case though, there is a simple explanation. To clarify, the there are a couple standard methods to use. First, God is absolutely perfect! He is powerful and wise enough to ensure his own word is not contradictory.
Second, the context surrounding the verse is usually able to clear it. Third, the original language wording usually helps to add clarification in each case. Do you feel this way? I mean NO disrespect to you, and sincerely hope you take no offense to the following. You and I do not worship the same God. In no way do I worship his son, Jesus. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment. And never in your words have I found any meanness or harshness of spirit — only passion for your subject — and what a wondrous subject it is!
And there is nothing more passionate about which to speak. On that I am certain we agree! You rightly quoted Jesus in verses from John, but I also think, when I read those words, of other verses of the 5th and 6th chapters of John.
In them, Jesus repeatedly defines his relationship to the Father, and it is more than a subservient one, more like a partnership. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.
The light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
