“Most scholars also agree that the Book of Lamentations was composed shortly after Jerusalem’s fall in 586 BCE.” – wikipedia Intense, mixed bag of emotions! Wow! “Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.” (Lamentations 3:39–42) The pardon is in Jesus Christ!

Moreover, it would be a more unworthy course for God to spare the evil-doer than to punish him, especially in the most good and holy God, who is not otherwise fully good than as the enemy of evil, and that to such a degree as to display His love of good by the hatred of evil, and to fulfil His defence of the former by the extirpation of the latter. Tertullian. 1885. “The Five Books against Marcion.” In Latin Christianity: Its Founder, Tertullian, edited by Alexander Roberts, James Donaldson, and A.

This means that in the original Hebrew, each of the 22 verses begins with the next letter of the Hebrew alphabet, going in order from the first letter (aleph) to the last (tav). Reminded me of Psalms 73 (apparently a chiastic poem) where the Psalmist discoveres the answer to his dilemma in God’s house concerning the pain of evil men flourishing: “When I thought how to understand this, It was … Continue reading She remembereth not her last end

That heresies should come

Come now, you who would indulge a better curiosity, if you would apply it to the business of your salvation, run over the apostolic churches, in which the very thrones of the apostles are still pre-eminent in their places, IN THEIR OWN AUTHENTIC WRITINGS ARE READ, uttering the voice and representing the face of each of them severally. Achaia is very near you, (in which) you find CORINTH. Since you are not far from Macedonia, you have PHILIPPI; (and there too) you have the THESSALONIANS. Since you are able to cross to Asia, you get EPHESUS. Since, moreover, you are … Continue reading That heresies should come
