Trust ye not in lies

“The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, STAND IN THE GATE OF THE LORD’S HOUSE, AND PROCLAIM there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. TRUST YE NOT IN LYING WORDS, SAYING, THE TEMPLE OF THE LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. For if ye throughly amend … Continue reading Trust ye not in lies

Flee, save your lives

Flee, save your lives, And be like the heath in the wilderness. For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, Thou shalt also be taken: And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity With his priests and his princes together. And the spoiler shall come upon every city, And no city shall escape: The valley also shall perish, And the plain shall be destroyed, As the Lord hath spoken. Give wings unto Moab, That it may flee and get away: For the cities thereof shall be desolate, Without any to dwell therein. Cursed be he that doeth … Continue reading Flee, save your lives

The gods are dead

It’s the Greco-Roman gods that are dead. Jesus, however, is trucking quite fine thruout history. “But the Lord is the true God, He is the living God, and an everlasting king: At his wrath the earth shall tremble, And the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.” (Jeremiah 10:10–11) “The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, And all the goodliness thereof … Continue reading The gods are dead

Beleaguered but secure

If indeed the enormous perverseness (of your worship) could be broken up by a single demurrer, we should have our objection ready to hand in the declaration that, as we know all those gods of yours to have been instituted by men, all belief in the true Deity is by this very circumstance brought to nought; because, of course, nothing which some time or other had a beginning can rightly seem to be divine. But the fact is, there are many things by which tenderness of conscience is hardened into the callousness of wilful error. Truth is beleaguered with the … Continue reading Beleaguered but secure

Human error

Opening lines of Ad Nationes Book II as Tertullians begins a critique of the “gods” Our defence requires that we should at this point discuss with you the character of your gods, O ye heathen, fit objects of our pity, appealing even to your own conscience to determine whether they be truly gods, as you would have it supposed, or falsely, as you are unwilling to have proved. Now this is the material part of human error, owing to the wiles of its author, that it is never free from the ignorance of error, whence your guilt is all the … Continue reading Human error

Jeremiah 44

Jeremiah 44! Whoa….when you know your on the wrong highway… Let us trust Jesus over whatever god we find appealing even if it be ourselves! God bless… “And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.” – Paul, just before his conversion to trusting in Jesus above all else including himself from Acts 9:5 Paul seemed to be much more successful of a preacher than Jeremiah but succes is never defined by success but rather obedience to God! Besides their is more … Continue reading Jeremiah 44
