    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    All Israel here does not mean all Israelites. All Israel is used on both sides of the border. Look at this! Eze 37:16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write uponit, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    The verses you quoted show that some of the Northern tribes came to Jerusalem to sacrifice! This took place for 3 years! Then Rehoboam forsook the law! (Chap 12;1) and all of Israel that were in in Judah followed suit! But all of Israel in Ephraim did not fight with them. Rehoboam and...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    What I am saying is that Ephraim was NOT incorporated into Judah. You have shown that a few trans-migrated. That is all. But Ephraim was not incorporated but rather scattered to the winds. They were cast away! But that is not the end of the story! That is...until the Lord pined for them again...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    I ask you to do a study on Ephraim...this is synonymous with the lost tribes of Israel. Jer 7:15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Isa 7:8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    One should not take seriously someone who reads a few verses that go against hundreds of others in order to prove as wrong the plan of God. You are setting Israel against Israel. “2 Chr 11:1 ¶ And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an...

    2 Chron 11:14-17 and the lost tribes

    The 10 lost tribes of Israel are a reality! The Northern kingdom was obliterated and spread among other nations. The Assyrians knew how to conquer. God used these conquerors to destroy the physical entity called Israel. Only Judah survived (with Benjamin and a remnant of Levi). The 10 Northern...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship" (Romans 12:1). “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    He is not a Buddha! We cannot do what He did. It is impossible! Jesus Christ empowers us to overcome through HIM! So we surrender our lives and bodies to Christ to be indwelt of Christ. THEN we can overcome as He did. But the spiritual darkness in the old man is crucified with Christ. He took...

    Did Jesus need a redeemer? Or was He The Redeemer?

    17Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Sinful flesh??? This is wrong. The flesh is weak not sinful. God didn't make flesh...

    Romans 6:9-11

    16When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses...

    Understanding and interpretation

    The gospel is according to power not words. So how does one know they have the right formula for gunpowder? An explosion? When we understand the bible correctly something happens in the Spirit. We receive something from God. The gospel is according to power not words. So how does one know...

    True Repentance not a ritual

    Yes...this attitude of repentance is a righteous stance on our failure as God's children. But when we receive Christ's life we know we are forgiven. Then the joy fills our hearts. We then walk in that joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength.:)

    Why do you believe God is good?

    While many people feel that God is indifferent to the sufferings we inflict on each other and on ourselves....the sheer patience of God and His continued blessings towards the ungrateful is empirical proof of the goodness of God. Then we have the selfless sacrifice of Christ who dies to save...
