OOPS OF THE DAY ~ October 9

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

The hated Samaritan ethnic group was long ago extinct.

II Kings 17:24-41 – Luke 10:25-37 – John 4:1-42

Fact of the Day 

No! After the Assyrians took the Jews captive to their land (today’s Iraq), they filled the empty Jewish cities with their own people and were called Samaritans.  The Jews hated them and wouldn’t even walk through their province in the middle of the country to get from a souther province to a northern province.  They became a mixed breed.  Some Samaritans still exist today in the same area of Palestine.  DNA shows them to be part Jewish and part Iraqi.  Look on the internet for articles and pictures about them.  It is very interesting.

OOPS OF THE DAY ~ October 7

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

God was not faithful to the Northern half of Israel when he let them be conquered and taken as captives to Assyria (today’s Iraq) so the Assyrians could live in N. Israel instead.

Leviticus 18:25-28  –  II Kings 17:7-18

Fact of the Day 

No!  God had warned the Jews 1000 years earlier when he told them to destroy the Amorites (Canaanites) so they could take over their land.  He said that, IF the Jews ever got as bad as the Canaanites, the land would vomit them out of it too.

The Israelites didn’t believe God’s warning  because they did not want to stop their immorality by calling it religion.  So, they…

(1)  built temples to and worshiped pornographic goddesses

(2)  stopped believing in the one true God

(3)  worshiped calves and the stars

(4)  burned their children to death as sacrifices to power gods.

OOPS OF THE DAY ~ October 6

Things in the Bible not really in the Bible...and a few surprises

Oops of the Day

God was mean to not protect the southern half of Israel now called the kingdom of Judah from the Babylonian army when they burned down Jerusalem and enslaved the people.

Leviticus 18:25-28 – all of II Chronicles – all listed prophets – Hebrews 11:35b-38

Fact of the Day 

No! Their kings led the people to commit terrible, terrible sins.

  • -Solomon built altars to the CHILD-SACRIFICING god, Moloch, to please one of his wives, and altars to other gods to please his other wives. That was the beginning.
  • -Out of the 20 kings that followed, 13 kings led the people to worship fake deities, mostly PORNOGRAPHIC GODDESSES with their temple prostitutes and Ashera poles,  and CHILD-KILLING GODS who burned them to death.   God sent these men to warn them: Shaiah, Hanani, Ohadiah, Joel, Isaiah, Micah, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel.  These 10 men spent their lives warning them and trying to save them from hell,  but they did not want to give up their LEGALIZED PROSTITUTION and  PEDICIDE.
  • -Hebrews 11 tells how they treated anyone who tried to stop them:  “There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better Resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.

At one time, Jerusalem was the most evil city in the world.

God was patient for hundreds of years – generation after generation.  Nothing would stop them.  So he punished them to wake them up. Why?  Because they were his lost children, descendants of Abraham and David, headed for hell, and he wanted them back.  Such unbelievable love!
