When Jacob blessed his sons, his blessings were also prophecies about each son's descendants. Through time these prophecies were fulfilled. From the first born to the last, Jacob blessed his sons.

Calvinists like to use Paul's reference in Romans 9:13, which refers to the story of Jacob and Esau, to support their Calvinist doctrine of predestination. Yet when we read Genesis 25:27-34, we know that Esau willingly, on his own, forfeited his birthright by selling it to Jacob. Thus it should be obvious that it was not by God’s election, but rather by Esau’s own free will choice.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. Paul tells us to;
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speakingbe put away from you, with all malice. Ephesians 4:31
Anger and rage do more harm to those those who practice it, than it does to the person the anger is targeted at.

Baptism is a sacrament we do in the manner Jesus Himself was baptized. It should be done in “the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” We are instructed in such a fashion as described in the Scriptures, but unlike the Old Testament we do not only do it for the clergy, because under Christ we are all in the priesthood, so all believers need to be baptized.

As most will agree, when the Israelites entered the promised land, it was not a picture of us entering heaven, but rather the beginning of our trials in the World as a believer. We also agree that the Israelites leaving Egypt were a shadow of us accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

"There is no fear of God before his eyes."Psalm 36:1Sadly, this phrase has been woven into the very fabric of our society today. When a man has no fear of GOD, he is prepared for any crime. Total depravity is not too strong a term to describe such human wickedness.

Take heed, do not turn to iniquity, for you have chosen this rather than affliction.

by Chuck Ness
The debate about who created evil is an important one since atheists and skeptics use the existence of evil in their arguments against theism. It is incumbent upon all Christians to understand what the Scriptures say about the God they worship and the existancxe of evil in the world. If God created everything, and if evil is in the world, does it follow that God created evil?

Being raised in a Catholic home meant that I was baptized as a child, and would take classes that prepared me for my first communion.

Caleb Stevenson's commentary on the letters to the Seven Churches of Revelation is not what modern readers will be prepared to read. First off, he covers eight churches, the eighth one being the modern church of America. Unlike the many commentaries that attempt to explain the letters wholly on a 22nd century understanding, he takes you back to the mindset of the 1st century church.
