excellent
thank you

[SisterK]

The genealogy of Jesus given in Matthew and Luke speak of a placement in history and not myth at least to me.

Yes!

[SisterK]

Scripture suggests we can presume David's salvation and hope for Solomon's.

no doubt
on the other side we will also meet Enoch, Abraham, Moses....

[Jim W N]

You’re welcome.

God’s word is such a blessing.

[SisterK]

that is the mercy of God:

that the Moabite Ruth
the prostitute Rahab
and my wicked self

could all be grafted into His family

[MHGinTN]

We are ALL in need of His Grace, His mercy, for there is not one of us that is righteous without His righteousness, no not one.

[InkStone]

Welcome Home Dan!! So good to see you back on duty.
Great paintings and glass too; fine choices all.
Happy to see so many posts here.

Thank you for these labors, which bless so many!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks, Leon. It’s been busy today—hard to get any work done.

[Hebrews 11:6]

no doubt

You don't consider Solomon's thoroughgoing late-life apostasy casts some doubt on his salvation?

[MHGinTN]

Interesting question ...

[Big Red Badger]

Good call, but I’ve heard your synopsis
Elsewhere.
.
The Author and Finisher of our Faith
Has all the bases covered from the
Cells in our finger tips to the
Galaxies of the Universe.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Someone wisely said he’s less interested in whom he’ll find in heaven and keener to learn who is surprised to discover him there.

[Big Red Badger]

Enoch and Elijah from your list had a
‘Preflight’ power up.
.
Paul enjoyed some glimpses of the Heavens.
.
Today I prayed for ‘His Will’ in my life.
Immediately I envisioned ‘Jonahs’ Whale’,,
.
We BOTH Laughed.

[SisterK]

You don't consider Solomon's thoroughgoing late-life apostasy casts some doubt on his salvation?

Solomon's salvation is so very far above my pay grade.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’ll never go wrong praying that prayer.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Nice.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good.

[SFConservative]

Thanks for this amazing, beautiful post!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Its nature required an approach uniquely befitting its sequential format. Glad it worked for you.

Of course, without Michelangelo, I don’t know how it would be feasible. God provided.
