Craziest thing…
I am still up from yesterday. It’s 5am. I’m working on this video about the 10 gates and…

First, let me say that I LOVE ALL OF MY FAMILY.
I really do.

But I have seen on social media some of the silliest of…

well, let me put it like this.

I cannot fathom why family would fight one another so much, or why they would hate one another so much.

Then, to see comments about how if you are not of a specific nation, then God hates you and you are going to hell ( in so many words) by those who clearly have not sat back and really read God’s Word, not frfr is just as senseless.

(Lord God Almighty, in the name of Jesus, please grant them understanding starting with John 3:16 – for God so loved the WORLD that He sent HIS only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER believes might not perish but have everlasting life…)

This is not a genealogy post because Paul clearly told Timothy that a soldier does not get mixed up in genealogies.

This is a post that says…
How can you hate or dislike your own cousin so much?
I mean for real. Your cousin that you grew up with, How can you hate them?

How can you do genealogy searches to find family members only to turn around and say you hate them?

How can you hate your siblings, your nieces, and your nephews?

Would you encourage your own children to hate their cousins?

There is absolutely no way that you can even claim to be of a certain nation and then hate your brother and sister who also claims to be of the nation because … at the end of the day… their children and your own children will form nations of their own as they grow up and have children and their children have children.

I really feel like (and I have been feeling like this for a while) that I want to stick everyone in corners and make them all face the wall.

or get an extra extra extra large shirt and make the two opposing partners put the same shirt on together and walk around in it until they get their acts together.

This is crazy to me the hatred of people for their own relatives.

It is these very same ones who will sit at a family member’s home and enjoy the company of their family members and their children while promoting hatred for nations.

If Abraham came back to see what his children are doing he would be so disappointed in all of them.

Abraham didn’t act like that.

When his brother Haran died, he raised Lot taking Lot with him when he left for the promised land.

When his nephew Lot got in trouble Abraham went to help him.

When he found out that God was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah where his nephew lived, Abraham interceded for him.

And now the children of Lot fight with the children of Abraham’s son Isaac.

“Go sit in the corner and face the wall until you get your acts together.”

That’s plain stupid.

And all y’all taking sides should be ashamed of yourselves too.
Moab and Ammon siding up with Ishmael’s kids (the Arabs) whom they feel can understand because they too feel some type of way about Isaac’s kids.

Are y’all really upset because a specific child from a specific lineage was chosen to be the line that King Jesus would enter our world into to pay the debt for us all?

Do you all really have no clue that this is the gist of what you all are really arguing about?

The entire old testament is about watching how The Most Holy interacted with his people while following the path of the promised seed.

That maze ended when it was time for Jesus to be born into this world for the specific purpose of paying the debt of sin for us all.

But you all want to fight over_____ uhm, why are you fighting?

You dont even know why you are fighting?

Go stand in the corner and face the wall.

oowee it takes a loving father to put up with such trifling children.

And it is SAD that this stuff is still being promoted today in the form of religion and nationality with nobody stopping to think for a second that these are cousins fighting with one another.

How would your mama feel if she caught you fighting with your cousins? How would your dad feel?

How would you feel if your child was fighting with their cousins?

All I see as I read God’s Word is family fighting one another. This is so stupid to me.

SAD

(ok what started this was the book of Ezra. I knew that Sanballat was related to the Israelites somehow and when I figured it out and to see how he, Tobias, and the Arabs were so hell-bent on stopping the Israelites from rebuilding their own city was just annoying. What was their problem? JEALOUSY)

and while i am ranting…
these nations today not being able to get along don’t make sense to me either. There is no justifying it.

{{This is why I can’t work in a daycare. I have no patience for grown children.}}

That moment when…
Reading God’s Word annoys you
because all you see is family fighting one another.
