Exodus
Chapter 19

1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

10 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.

16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

21 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.

22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

23 And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.

25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called.

That doesn't mean God is a Republican, and especially not a Democrat. When you look at the evil, ungodly actions prevalent over the past 5+ decades; perpetrated by democrats, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand which party God favors, does it? That is of course, unless you are completely devoid of critical thinking. King David committed adultery with a woman named Bathsheba who consequently became pregnant. Upon learning of Bathsheba's condition, David tried to cover his sin and eventually arranged for Bathsheba's husband, Uriah, to be killed in battle, but God still used him for His Glory.

Saul led a violent persecution of the young Christian church in Jerusalem. (Acts 8:1-3) He goes from house to house, dragging men and women off to prison. When believers are found guilty of what is considered to be 'blasphemy', Saul calls for them to be stoned to death (see Acts 26:10). God called him and he became a believer. The conversion of Saul, also known as the conversion of Paul the Apostle, is a well-known story in the Bible that describes how Saul was transformed from a persecutor of Christians to a follower of Jesus. On the road to Damascus, Saul was suddenly blinded by a light from heaven and heard a voice say, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" The voice identified itself as Jesus, who instructed Saul to go to Damascus and be told what to do. Saul repented and changed his name to Paul; and became one of the leading apostles of Christ.

Then there was Peter. He denied knowing Jesus Christ. Not only once, but 3 times, trying to save his own skin. Jesus forgave him and if you know the rest of the story, you begin to understand where I'm going with this.

Donald J. Trump is no angel. He committed many sins, just like all of humanity. But the fine line is the truth of the fact he repented and God forgave him. The problem with humans and especially "Never Trumpers" is that they still hold Trump's early life against him. They have set themselves as higher in authority than their Creator, which is blasphemy. When God forgives, he casts His memory of your sins into the "sea of forgetfulness" to be remembered no more. The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible verse that mentions the sea of forgetfulness is Micah 7:19, which says, "He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea".

Romans 5:1 states, "Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ".

Some say that this verse is fundamental to Christianity and that it's important to understand that one is justified by God based on the merits of Jesus Christ.

Justification in our Creator's eyes means "Just as if I had never sinned."

Matthew 6:14-15 reads,
"For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

ANYONE, Republican or Demoncrat who refuses to heed God's warning will not receive the gift of eternal life; but will be cast into the Lake of Fire; prepared for the devil and his angels for all eternity. If you're in this category, you need to repent. They don't serve breakfast in hell.

How to get stoned without weed.

GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
DAILY DEVOTIONAL
REVERENCE
READ LEVITICUS 24:1 THROUGH 25:55
When Sam’s neighbor knocked on his door, Sam stepped out onto the front porch with a towel wrapped around his hand.



“Sam, what happened? Your hand’s bleeding badly.”



Sam winced as the neighbor applied pressure to the wound. “My dog got spooked and took a chunk out of me. It’s a shame, but I’ll have to put him down. If he’d do that to me, imagine what he’d do to someone else.”



“Say to the people of Israel: Those who curse their God will be punished for their sin. Anyone who blasphemes the Name of the Lord must be stoned to death by the whole community of Israel” (Leviticus 24:15–16).



Sam’s dog bit the hand that fed him. One man in Israel was guilty of a similar thing. Although God had freed the people from slavery, fed them manna and quail, miraculously supplied them with water, and personally escorted them through the desert—this one man cursed God. God called everyone who heard the cursing to respond. God deserves and demands better.



Thought for Today: The only proper attitude toward God is a respectful reverence.
