As I began reading this chapter, I noticed that the VOICE rendered it as when the sins happen, but the others wrote “if” and I don’t think that’s true to the original Hebrew. This, too, deals with offerings that can never take away our sins, but these sacrifices actually remind us of them year after year (Hebrews 10:3-4) and I imagine it’s pretty frustrating for those who think Jesus never came, whether they know He did or not. Indeed, who isn’t aware of God’s glory? But this chapter is found in pages 59-60 of the NKJV Bible I have, pages 76-77 of the NASB Bible (Old Testament), pages 127-128 of my VOICE copy, and pages 124-125 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
But oaths are very serious and must not be taken lightly, so I don’t think it’s worth it to make one, just as Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:33-37. On an unrelated story, I still can’t believe I was the one who gave my old apartment complex in Gilbert a connection to the police department 😳😳😳😳👮♂️👮🏻♂️👮🏼♂️👮🏽♂️👮🏾♂️👮🏿♂️👮♀️👮🏻♀️👮🏼♀️👮🏽♀️👮🏾♀️👮🏿♀️👮👮🏻👮🏼👮🏽👮🏾👮🏿 hopefully any of the officers repent and follow Jesus, too ™️ 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 I’d love to see more officers leave a life of wrongful arrests behind. The problem is, though, I’ve never met an officer who was even remotely interested in doing this. And I’ve met quite a few from across Arizona, from Phoenix to Gila River’s Indian community, from Chandler to Casa Grande and Eloy, and even Springerville in northeastern Arizona between Alpine and I-40! (Alpine is a small town just west of New Mexico and at roughly the same latitude as Cave Creek in the Northeast Valley close to Phoenix, for those who don’t know.) So I think we’re ALL in big trouble once the political people start attacking the audience. I heard the U.S. has about 30% of the population exposed to political violence one day last week, and to be honest, I’m terrified I’ll lose another family member to the conflagration 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 my grandmother died to dementia December 2022 and this could happen to any of us, even if someone related to me begins following Jesus, too 💔💔💔💔💔 I’m not looking forward to the rest of this year, and I’ve noticed enough disturbing stuff already, like last Monday, case in point, when one of my neighbors shouted obscenities at someone’s dog… I don’t want the puppy to be killed because of that hateful man nearby me! Who knows what he’ll do to me once he hears I love Jesus wholeheartedly? Mesa’s ties to reality are already tenuous at best. Pray I don’t get killed or anything, for this guy freaks me out. I hope I make it to next month when I take on chapter 6 of this book, since there’s not enough evidence to convict that guy for disturbing the peace that afternoon.
