...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed.

No Telling What Because They're So Corrupt

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way." When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn and no one put on any ornaments. For the LORD had said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.'" So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.-Exodus 33:1-6(NIV)***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that over 1,500 years after the Lord God created Adam, the 1st man, and made Adam's wife Eve after taking a part out of Adam, Adam and Eve's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Noah the ark builder was born. When Noah was 600 years old, he entered the ark with his wife, their sons Shem, Ham and Japheth, and each sons' wife, and a specific amount of creatures. The Lord God brought a flood of waters upon the earth, and the rest of mankind was destroyed. When Noah and his wife's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) was 99 years old, the Lord God spoke of Sodom to Abraham, and Abraham spoke to the Lord God of any righteous people in Sodom. Afterwards, the Lord God destroyed Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim, their inhabitants, and the surrounding region. When Abraham was 100 years old, Isaac was born to Abraham and his 90-year-old wife Sarah (Sarai). When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, Jacob married Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel. Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob and Leah. Er, Onan and Shelah were born to Judah and his wife, a Canaanite woman descended from Noah's son Ham. Over 300 years after the Lord God put Er and Onan to death, Aaron and his brother Moses were born into the tribe of Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, many Egyptians died from the plague of hail and the plague of death that the Lord God brought upon Pharaoh and Egypt. After Moses and Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt and across the divinely parted Red Sea, more Egyptians died when the Lord God caused the water of the Red Sea to the Egyptians. In the desert wilderness of Sinai, in the region of Mount Sinai, the Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them. When Moses was upon Mount Sinai with the Lord God for 40 days and nights, Aaron obeyed the requests of the Israelites and made an idoldisobeying the commands of the Lord God. The Lord God wanted to put an end to the Israelites and make a great nation of Moses. However, Moses spoke with reasoning to the Lord God. Moreover, Moses burned, ground and scattered the ashes of the golden calf that Aaron made, and spoke to Aaron, and proclaimed an invitation to those who were on the side of the Lord God. Approximately 3,000 Israelite men were killed. Forty years after the Lord God gave Moses a 2nd set of stone tablets whereupon were written, with the finger of God, the Ten Commandments, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was descended from Jacob and Rachel's firstborn son Joseph and his wife Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob, and their descendants. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
