A man’s importance to his children
God created men to provide for the physical needs of His family. A man’s devotion to God’s family is so important that Jesus suggested castration. Jesus said in Matthew 19:12 , “For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb; and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men; and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Eye witness accounts of Jesus’ life
Perhaps it is time for some of you to go back and read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John again. They killed Jesus and he was a child of the first family of Mary and God. Perhaps it is us that are wrong. Christ came to change things. We can know this because God loved us so much that he sent his own Son to deliver the message. Family is forever not disposable and replaceable as we have been taught.
Jesus loved men more than most realize
Friends, please be careful about assumptions because they may be false. I have a husband and sons and if any of you think that I do not love men you are totally wrong! This book is written totally out of love for men.
Jesus loved men so much that he said the things that he said too! Jesus had to be very careful about what he said because men would have killed him sooner. He spoke in parables to encourage men to think deeply in order for them to gain a broader understanding of the problems that he tried to address.
Oh, and by the way, Jesus is my shepherd.
The importance of love
John the Baptist said in Matthew 3:2, “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Repentance is the way that we get back in touch with our souls. Our laws discourage repentance. Law enforcement will tell most of us that anything that we say or do could be used against us. Repentance and forgiveness are love. But Jesus said in Luke, 7:47, Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.”
How often do we forgive someone?
Jesus said in Matthew 18:21-22, “Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, “I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”
The last days
Genesis 49:10,”The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.” Genesis 49:11, “Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes.”
Here is what I believe these two scriptures mean.
1. We are the ones that set the standard for the rest of the world.
2. Laws and lawyers are the props that have kept this country strong.
3. Shiloh is the END.
4. The gathering that Jacob spoke of is not the gathering of Jews to Israel. It is the gathering of the family. In verse 11, he explains how it must be done.
5. Our men get drunk, drink and drive, and hurt each other. The intoxicating effects of wine wash away the hurt of abandonment by their fathers, sin, and dirt on their outer garments and the blood of violence from the grapes that are eaten are a part of our water supply which we use to wash our clothes.
Family law as established by the second family
Friends, let’s spend a little more time talking about the lost children of the house of Israel. It is the children of Leah, the children of the second family, that established the family law that we still honor today – they had daughter in laws and father in laws. The children of Jacob’s second family abandoned the covenant that God had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Genesis 18:19: “For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him and they shall keep the way of the Lord..”
The following is taken from my book:
“Marriage and family were based upon laws – laws that made it possible to dissolve relationships and eliminate family members. We also know that the woman and child were held responsible if conception occurred outside of “marriage” because Judah suggested that Tamar be burned at the stake.
Obviously, the man was innocent because there was no mention of punishment for Judah for impregnating his daughter in law. Laws are similar in this country today. We do not burn women at the stake, but we do hold them accountable for the decisions that a man makes. We have abortion, adoption, and abandonment to eliminate the child, especially since “marriage” never occurred. The man has little or no responsibility for the woman that he impregnated outside of “marriage.” He can just ejaculate and move on. This man thinks that he is god.”
The worst family arrangement
The father leaves his wife and child for another woman, marries her, and has children with her. Another man marries the child’s divorced mother and has children with her. Then, if the other woman and the other man outlive the child’s parents, they and their children will inherit or control all of the child’s parent’s property.
This is a broken family!
What is the best family?
Does anyone want to know what the best family is?
It is a virgin man and a virgin woman and their children. Both husband and wife coming together with love and commitment for their future and their family.
This is the family that my husband and I share. It is the best and simplest family.
The lost children of the house of Israel
Jesus said in Matthew 10:6, “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” and Matthew 15:24, “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Who where the lost sheep of the house of Israel? Israel, formerly known as Jacob, worked seven years for Rachel, the woman that he loved. On his wedding night and following a feast, Laban, Rachel’s father, sent her older sister, Leah, into his tent. This is how it came to be that Jacob had more than one wife. Leah disliked the fact that Jacob lived with Rachel. Leah’s sons did things that they should not have done – things which demonstrate that they had little respect for Jacob, their father. Jacob’s second family wanted to be the first family! Jacob never let it happen.
