Genesis 12:1-3
Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Genesis 22:17
indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies.
Why chosen? Perhaps because He is the true God?
They left off separation of the king (government) from the priesthood.
In most people (and Islam today), the two were interconnected in some way (e.g., Caesar, Egyptian Pharaohs, Japanese Emperor).
Despite the progress in science and technology, it appears that empires are still subject to cycles. Since the year zero the Roman Empire rose and fell, the Holy Roman Empire rose and fell, the Spanish Empire rose and fell, Napoleon's Empire rose and fell, the British Empire rose and fell, the Third Reich rose and fell, the Soviet Union rose and fell, and now it appears that the American Empire that rose is now falling.
And what some call 'progress' in science and technologies others call a curse. Will 'progress' ultimately lead to humans being supplanted by cyborgs, genetically modified chimera, or full-up AGI robots?
Will our 'messiah' be a nuclear hardened Tesla with robotic arms?
Collectivism is the idea making the biggest change in the world, today.
"Each generation moves closer to salvation and is expected to develop morally and ethically."
Yes. We finally evolved to realize that homosexuality is a beautiful form of love and that transgenderism is not a mental disorder.
These weren’t Jewish ideas but divine truths revealed.
Because we are social animals
This man thinks we came from monkeys.
Psalm 14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Foolishness and Wickedness of People.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts;
There is no one who does good.
2 The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind
To see if there are any who [a]understand,
Who seek God.
3 They have all turned aside, together they are corrupt;
There is no one who does good, not even one.
What a horrible article. This article reduces Christianity to ideas and philosophy. Jesus didn't say, "believe in my ideas". He said, "believe in Me." People don't chose Christianity because of idea's. They come to Christ because they are drawn by the Holy Spirit.
John 6:65 - And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
Bttt.
