Do the Do's, Don't the Don'ts, and Be the Be's

The Words of
Jesus the Christ,
the Son of God:

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.-Matthew 5:1-12***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God blessed sea creatures, flying creatures, Adam and Eve, the seventh day, Adam and Eve's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson Noah the ark builder, and Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The Lord God blessed Shem's great-great-great-great-great-grandson Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and Abraham's sons Ishmael and Isaac, and Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel). The Lord God blessed the house of Potiphar, the Egyptian official in whose home Jacob's son Joseph served after being sold into slavery by his hateful brothers. Noah, and Melchizedek the priest, and Abraham's top servant blessed the Lord God. Moreover, Melchizedek blessed Abraham. The mother and brother of Rebekah blessed Rebekah before she left to marry Isaac. Isaac blessed his sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel). Rebekah's brother Laban was blessed due to his association with Jacob. Laban blessed his daughters Leah and Rachel, who were married to Jacob, and blessed his grandchildren after Leah and Rachel left with Jacob and their children to go to Isaac in Canaan. Jacob blessed his sons, including Joseph, and Jacob blessed Joseph's sons Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own sons. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Joseph was second-in-command, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Over 1,800 years after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, and Joseph and his siblings were dead, 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 Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God.-Genesis, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29. 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
