If - Then

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat? And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink? Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.-Luke 17:1-10***The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal circumstances wherein people expressed most holy faith in the Lord God and the actions that occurred as a result of their faith. In Canaan, the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants, the Israelites defeated the inhabitants of Jericho. The Israelites were beaten by the inhabitants of Ai, and  afterwards defeated the inhabitants of Ai. King Adoni-zedek, ruler of Jerusalem (Jebus), a Jebusite territory in Canaan, heard of the victories of the Israelites, and learned that the Gibeonites, a powerful Canaanite group, had tricked Joshua and his fellow Israelites into making a covenant of peace. Thus, Adoni-zedek arranged with 4 other Canaanite kings to attack the Gibeonites, and  the Gibeonites sought help from Joshua. The Lord God told Joshua not to fear and said he had handed the 5 kings over to him. As Joshua surprised the 5 kings and their armies, the Lord God caused confusion in the midst of the enemies. While the enemies ran away, the Lord God in heaven flung large hailstones upon them. The Book of Joshua in the Holy Bible reveals the words that Joshua spoke to the Lord God and the words Joshua spoke to the sun and the moon. 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 Jacob'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. For 40 days Jesus fasted and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and Jesus went to Galilee. Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. When Jesus and his disciples and apostles were journeying to Jerusalem, Jesus revealed a specific message regarding faith.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 1:1-46, 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-12:24, 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, Hebrews 11:1-40
