...................................................................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.

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

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


Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him.-Matthew 6:1-8***Job only worshiped the Lord God. Job was wealthy, married, and Job and his wife were the parents of 10 children. When Job was in the midst of suffering after the deaths of the children, and the deaths of his servants, and the theft and the massacre of his beasts, and the physical state of his body, Job spoke to his friends Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar of life, beliefs, hypocrites, and the Lord God. Job stated that a hypocrite shall not be in the presence of the Lord God, and Job pondered the result of a hypocrite's accomplishments when the Lord God required the hypocrite's soul. Eliphaz, Zophar, and Elihu, a younger observer, also made comments regarding hypocrites. Eliphaz stated that the assemblage of hypocrites shall be barren, and Zophar said that a hypocrite's joy lasts only a short while. Elihu spoke of the will of the Lord God in regards to people and the leadership of hypocrites, and the hypocrite's refusal to call for help even when afflicted. Centuries after the Lord God spoke to Job and Eliphaz, 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 Israelite tribe of 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. In the presence of his disciples, Jesus spoke of hypocrites, their actions, and the Lord God.-Genesis 11:26-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24 Job, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
