elizabeth,

Thanks for that kind compliment.


alon,

Even a blind hog will find an acorn now and then. The fact that a feminist believes something does not prove it wrong. 1 Tim 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Eve was just a rib when God told Adam not to eat of the tree, yet when she ate she transgressed. She was a part of man therefore accountable. Once my wife and I were having a disagreement and I just could not get her to understand my way of thinking. Out of frustration, I said I couldn’t understand how she could be so beautiful yet so stupid. Well she explained it to me. She said God made her beautiful so that I would be attracted to her. God made her stupid so that she would be attracted to me. Men and women think differently. Then so do you and me. I don’t see how that relieves either from the duty to fear God and keep his commandments.
You mentioned working concrete. Then you know what happens when too much water is added, or it is over vibrated, or the surface is overworked. All of those traditions of the concrete finishers is an absolute frustration to the design engineers. For they know that those traditions of handling concrete will cause its’ premature failure. So it is with God’s law, keep man’s traditions out of it. The Savior warned on many occasions that the traditions of man make the laws of God of no effect. I will take an “it is written” over “it has been said of old time” every time.
No one should commit to keeping any law without being convinced in their own mind to do so. That is keeping the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law. I kept the letter, of the tithing law, for 18 years in the baptist church. I gave the tithe to the church not to God. I listened to the preacher not scripture. I walked in accordance with his and the churches tradition not the dictates of God’s law. As I tell my children, “education is expensive”. Learning to tithe in accordance with scripture cost me $120,000.00.

You are in my prayers as well.

First off thanks for the prayers. My daughter is not well off but is stable. She is buying a mini farm just a quarter mile down the road from me and next door to my son. I have teanage daughters willing help with the baby sitting, while Liza is at work. The mother of the children has just agreed to give up her rights, but nothing on paper yet. The father still wants the children to keep the welfare checks rolling in, but the Judge is not cutting him any slack.

My unmarried daughter is thing about taking on the responsibility of raising two of her cousin's children. First, I would like prayer for her and second what is the Biblical basis of adoption? Moses and Ester are examples of adopted children. Are there others?

If only it were that simple. My father loved God, yet he passed on a lot of transgenerational sin to all his children. Not hating God is a really good, and necessary start. But it isn't the whole answer.

Your father passing on the sin nature is quite different from a jealous God visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate him. God never said that he would visit the iniquity of the fathers on the children of those who love him.

"...for I the Lord your G-d am a jealous G-d visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments."

Want to break the curse? Don't hate God.
