If the bolded is true, then why are we claiming the love of the God of Israel?
Since Nigeria is not Israel and God cannot marry a second wife.
When you see the word “illustrate”, it means you are looking at an allegory. This is what I believe is the interpretation of the allegory: If God were a man, He’d marry only one wife. He’ll love her with everything He has got. He would not fill the hole she creates with another woman’s love. His love is enough for two.

Why Israel? Remember Abraham? It’s not Israel but Abraham. The love for Israel was due to the love for Abraham. In the whole wide world, when God needed a soul to believe Him, only one did. Israel only inherited the love God had for Abraham. When the natural seed of Abraham failed, the spiritual seed of Abraham inherited God’s love.

Please take your eyes of the natural seed and behold the spiritual seed. It’s still the same “wife”, Abraham.

Any act that transgresses against divine law, or an act of unrighteousness.
Thank you for this wonderful answer. So I’d like to ask you these (please answer in the order of the questions):

1. What laws in the Bible are called the divine laws (to all men)?
2. Which of the divine laws does adultery (polygamy, polyandry etc) run contrary to?
Is adultery against the divine law?
3. State specifically (from the Bible) where God honored adultery (in all its form)?
4. State specifically where God honored faithfulness to one wife or husband.

Christianity EtcRe: Does The Bible Really Condemn Marrying More Than One Wife? by Acehart:
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ. - 1 Cor.11:1

The above is a command (with the tone of a plea). Christ is our example and we are told to imitate God.

Did God marry? Yes. The Book of Hosea is an epilogue of God’s marriage: He marries a woman, she is grossly unfaithful and He still loves in spite of her worthlessness. Hosea 3:1 gives a succinct view of God’s view on marriage: “Go and love your wife again, even though she commits adultery with another lover. This will illustrate that the LORD still loves Israel”- one wife for life.

We follow God’s illustration and not the illustration from any man.

Christianity EtcRe: Does The Bible Endorse Human Sacrifice? by Acehart: 9:36pm On Feb 07, 2022
NNTR:
Greetings to you too highly regarded

Inasmuch that this is a most unusual take and approach to Jephthah you have above put forward, permit me, to ask you the following questions please:
1. Do you accept it as true, that Jephthah wasnt familiar with and wasnt aware of Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Leviticus 18:21 and 2 Kings 21:6?
2. Do you believe that, in spite of Jephthah, being familiar with and aware of Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Leviticus 18:21 and 2 Kings 21:6, he so was still ready, prepared and determined to goes against the grain of Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Leviticus 18:21 and 2 Kings 21:6?
3. What do you believe, specifically is the action(s), Jephthah took or did, that worked in his favour and what consequently made him get the recognition and qualification to be listed in the 'Faith Hall of Fame', found in Hebrews 11?
'IN THOSE DAYS THERE WAS NO KING IN ISRAEL; EVERY MAN DID WHAT WAS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES. '

The text above is very profound. One cannot paraphrase the bolden. The whole book shows that where there is no lawful authority, anarchy reigns supreme. That verse also applies to Jephthah- whether he was familiar with the laws or no, he did what he liked, following his inclination and delusion. Did he have a right to rewrite the Law of Moses? Was he a Levite? Okay! maybe because he wasn’t a Levite, he wanted to institute a parallel law.

Regarding Jephthah’s appearance in Hebrews 11: I remember a discussion about Gideon I had with my late uncle; he said, “for Gideon to remember God’s deeds in times past (when the Angel met him at the winepress), it means Gideon had (justifying) faith in God. This same remembrance by Jephthah (when responding to the King of Ammon) of God’s deed for Israel showed he had (justifying) faith. Faith is the evidence of things one did not witness, right?
Christianity EtcRe: Does The Bible Endorse Human Sacrifice? by Acehart:
tctrills:
We learn of Jephthah in Judges 11 who sacrificed his daughter. Was it an act of righteousness or murder?
Greetings,

Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
-Judges 11:31(KJV)

It's a good question you asked. But you missed out on something- the meaning of the word "for". I see from your response to some personalities here that you have substituted or given the wrong meaning to the word "for": you have replaced it was the word "as". You say, "I will offer it up as a burnt offering".

The preposition "for" in the Hebrew language has at least 14 translations. The best fit for the verse is בִּמקוֹם, instead of or כְּנֶגֶד, as against. Let's see this example: I will seize your allowances instead of flogging you. Instead here means "to give up (something) for something else" or "part with for some equivalent". Sometimes we use the word in the English language to indicate exchange, swapping, or substitution.

When you understand the full implication of Jephthah's vow, you would conclude that he was rash, and running contrary to the will of God. He wanted to institute his will above God's will. Why do I say this?

1. All burnt offerings from Genesis 2 to Jephthat's day involved the sacrifice of the male firstling of cattle, sheep, or goat- A shadow of the sacrifice of God's firstborn, Christ Jesus. Jephthah tried to be like many men, who substituted something in the stead of the instituted burnt offering laws; Cain was rejected because he offered the fruit of the ground instead of a firstling from the flock, Aaron's sons offered "strange fire" instead of the fire from the altar and paid with their lives, Elijah's altar was destroyed because he offered a burnt offering at Camel instead of Jerusalem, Saul was rejected because he offered an animal (as a sacrifice) from Amalek instead of Bethlehem, and Uzziah was struck with leprosy because he usurped the prerogatives of the priest. I give all these examples to show that God abhorred Jephthah's vow. All levitical ordinances can never be replaced by the will of man.

2. The Bible shows us that God's people offered an animal sacrifice after warfare and according to God's prescription. We see this in the Book of Joshua after Joshua conquered Ai: He built it according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses - Joshua 8:31. When Jephthah said, "and I will offer it up for a burnt offering", one would think it referred to an animal. Only until his daughter was seen that one would see the true intention of Jephthah- revenge.

Since he intended to sacrifice a man, perhaps his half-brother, and that wasn't feasible. Then the best way to replace a burnt offering would be to give an equivalent- prevent his daughter from having offspring, as a sacrifice of a young calf is to offer it together with its offspring.

Christianity EtcRe: Why You Should Remain In Nigeria By Deji Yesufu by Acehart:
It’s a good writeup but it is unconvincing.

When Christ said, “man shall not live by bread alone...but by every word that proceedeth...of God ”. This shows that man is not only a physical being but he is a spiritual being too. What does the body want? Food. What does the spirit yearn for?

Many Nigerians who travel outside our shores aren’t hungry. Many earn as much as 1 million Naira/month here- by no means a meager amount. Many have comfortable parents, and haven’t known what “survival” means all their lives. So why do they leave?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness: these are among the unalienable rights of all people, according the American Declaration of Independence. This historic document goes on to state, that to ensure these rights, governments are instituted among men. May I ask the following questions?:

1. Are these rights (in the American Declaration of Independence) the yearning of the human spirit? Are these rights the food for the soul?

2. Does our ‘Father’s’ land give these breads to its children? Who in Nigeria has swallowed these breads and found them tasty?

3. Is the picture Psalm 127: 2, In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat, the picture of this Land? If it is, is it right for young lion to lack and suffer hunger? If it isn’t right, is it right for the young lion to see that his progenitors and siblings lack and suffer hunger and not think he will suffer the same fate one day?

There will always be woe to a land where its people call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! That land should sooner be abandoned.

Not all food is for the belly. Eye wey dey cry dey see road.

Christianity EtcRe: What Does "The Wages Of Sin Is Death" Really Means by Acehart:
Now, what shall we do? Shall we go on sinning because we have no Law to condemn us any more, but are living under grace? Never! Just think what it would mean. You belong to the power which you choose to obey, whether you choose sin, whose reward is death, or God, obedience to whom means the reward of righteousness. Thank God that you, who were at one time the servants of sin, honestly responded to the impact of Christ’s teaching when you came under its influence. Then, released from the service of sin, you entered the service of righteousness. (I use an everyday illustration because human nature grasps truth more readily that way.) In the past you voluntarily gave your bodies to the service of vice and wickedness—for the purpose of becoming wicked. So, now, give yourselves to the service of righteousness—for the purpose of becoming really good. [b]For when you were employed by sin you owed no duty to righteousness. Yet what sort of harvest did you reap from those things that today you blush to remember? In the long run those things mean one thing only—death.

But now that you are employed by God, you owe no duty to sin, and you reap the fruit of being made righteous, while at the end of the road there is life for evermore.

Sin pays its servants: the wage is death. But God gives to those who serve him: his free gift is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Looking at the verses that are immediately related to the verse you seek interpretation to, the meaning is (but not limited to):

1. Sin is a master (employer). It’s salary is death.

2. In earlier verses of Romans, Paul paints this picture: In the righteousness through faith in Christ Jesus, the shepherd (employer) dies for the sheep (servant). Under Sin, the slave dies for the master. No matter how one is committed to Sin, Sin would never die for that one- it only use its employees as slaves (instruments or tools): Meaning that Sin will use them until they are not longer useful to it.

(Sin was brought into “prominence” by the Law. Similarly, in the Law, the sheep dies for the shepherd. In Man-Sin relationship, man always dies and his harvest (gratuity and pension) is condemnation. Under Grace, the shepherd dies for the sheep, and justification and righteousness is the gift (not salary)-under Grace, you ‘don’t do anything to get paid’)

3. Sin will only make anyone under its control evil i.e. the person will be really evil. In the end, the unsaved person doesn’t enjoy life- life here and the life to come- Life just flies by and there is no real joy in the time you spent.

I hope you understand kiss

You dubiously stopped at stopped at verse 6 so as to prevent your audience from getting the full information. Why didn’t you quote it to verse 10

“ So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”


Judas’ action of throwing the money at them was already prophesied long before Jesus was born:

Zechariah 11:13
And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"--this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
