Enjoy a deep and close connection with the Lord. Love His presence and stay strong in Him. Find inspiration and motivation that will bring children deeper in their walk. Enjoy this easy-to-read teaching guide and get the teaching audiobook full of lessons and examples from the Bible. This will be a rewarding and fulfilling investment.
How blessed is the one whom You choose and bring near to You
To dwell in Your courts. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple. (Psalm 65:4)

There are people who eat meat only once a week. People who don't eat red meat, but eat other kinds of meat. People who eat meat the socially expected amount. People who eat almost exclusively meat. And people who insist that vegans start eating meat.
They're doing different amounts and kinds of harm to society. They can do less harm by eating less meat. But they're all doing at least some harm to society.
We shouldn't wage a war against them. But we shouldn't withhold our criticism of their harm based on their comfort, their relationship to us, or the fact that they aren't in one of the worse groups. And we shouldn't entertain their claims of meat-eater/Christian discrimination or nuance. If we institutionalize those claims, we oppress everyone else.

Children will learn to develop their relationship with the Holy Spirit. This book is part of the Knowing God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit series, which includes audio books, children guide, Knowing God, Knowing Jesus, and Knowing Holy Spirit books. Be inspired to grow your faith and go deeper. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; (John 14:16)

Lenten Mass · @lentenmass
75 followers · 272 posts · Server deacon.socialRelating a conversation had on Discord. The prompt from them was:
"How do you guys continue to believe even with the apparent contradictions in the Scriptures like 2 Samuel 8:4 vs. 1 Chronicles 18:4? Things like this are actually causing a lapse in my faith, as of late."
(Note: the two passages are identical in the KJV, except one of them says that there are seven hundred horsemen, and the other says there are seven thousand. In most translations, these two passages are not identical, and many of the translations just say 1700 horsemen.)
My response:
What, the difference between "seven thousand" and "seven hundred"? I actually listened to an interesting podcast on that the other day. https://nakedbiblepodcast.com/podcast/naked-bible-024-the-bibles-literary-context-the-military-historical-annal-genre/
Short version to save a listen: Chronicles is written as a Military-Historical Annal, and as such there are some liberties taken with numbers in some places. This was a common trope of the time for stories about kings, and would have been no different for stories about King David. The example Dr. Heiser uses takes a different sample and breaks it down as similar to other Ancient Near-Eastern texts.
If seven thousand vs seven hundred has you beat up, you must have real difficulties with the inconsistencies in the Synoptic Gospels.
In general, I find my faith doesn't lie in the specifics, but rather in the spaces between. Reading the Word and studying it -- seeing how other people answer these same tough questions you're asking? That's what really renews and affirms my faith. For example, I find a lot of the Jewish histories a little hard to take literally. Especially pre-David. The Bible can be the inspired Word of God and still be a bunch of words written by human beings in certain rhetorical and poetic styles designed to evoke a response in their audience.
Everyone eventually hits a wall where they say "You know, this is just a little TOO far," but there are a great body of people across history that have read those same words, asked those same questions, and figured out an answer. I pray you find your answer, my friend.

The original meaning of “even so” meant a strong agreement or a resounding yes!
