@EhzNow All the more special that you took care of them 🙏🏻

@EhzNow They are wonderful. Feral cats are resourceful though. I hope they are doing ok. I can imagine how hard it was to leave them.

@rdmangone44 @KingKong9888 @ChrisannDawson An utterly unbiblical and occult chart of evil. A work of fiction compiled in the 17th century. Take it with a pinch of salt.

@virginia_garret We had snow this morning! It’s gone now but note the temperatures below are in Celsius 🤣 And they have a ‘severe weather warning’. That’s the UK for you! t.co/MPQEv2i5f…

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 Jesus’ redemption perfectly fulfilled the law 😀 Ruth’s closest redeemer shirked his responsibility to the law for selfish reasons and Boaz stepped in to the place where others should have gone before. t.co/PvNG2isWn…

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 For me the beauty of Ruth lies in Chapter 4 verses 11-12 which speak of her role in the line of David through to Jesus. The Jews at the time will have seen the black and white prophecy in David. And we see the prophecy in Christ as technicolour.

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 In fact Boaz was worried that people would get the wrong idea (Ruth3:6-18). Ruth wasn’t looking to seduce Boaz but to make clear her need for him as a redeemer (3:9). He reiterates that she is a worthy woman to drive home the absence of any impropriety.

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 And it seems the nearest redeemer was concerned for himself and his own close family and so abdicated his duty under the Levirate law. Ruth was forced to take the initiative in quite an unorthodox way. I don’t think it has a lesson for modern marriage or dating though.

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 It’s probably more confusing when we mix up our concept of marriage with that of Levirate Marriage and the role of the Kinsmen Redeemer. Ruth was asking not so much for Boaz’s hand but his protection. Had he been nearest redeemer I would have expected him to make the first move/1

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 The nearest redeemer was worried that Ruth would ‘impair my own inheritance’. His responsibility to Ruth (any child) would share any inheritance already planned for his own children. (Ruth 4:6)

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 Ruth 4:1-6 shows the complicated diplomatic dance Boaz had to perform before he and Ruth were united!

@virginia_garret @DamonJGray @delology @MBP_Texas @ferrismattic @KevinObie1 Hi Virginia. Boaz was not the first Kinsman Redeemer in line for Ruth. (Ruth 3.12). He clearly wanted Ruth but could only claim his right of redemption if the nearest redeemer was unwilling. The parallel with Christ’s redeeming quality is only partial, and a shadow.

This Christmas, not everyone is saying ‘It’s a wonderful life.’ Here’s hope for you today if you are dealing with depression at Christmas. #christmaspeace #emotionalhealth #depression sarahgeringer.com/not-wonderful-… via @sarahgeringer

God forgave King David’s egregious sins, and put him squarely in the heart of Christ’s bloodline here on Earth. David’s saving grace was his faith. There is a lesson there and one we need to remember.

@AndrewS76825037 Yes! I know exactly where you are coming from on this. We should be looking out, not in ☹️

@khutch0767 A10. Thy will be done, as in Heaven, so upon the Earth. #HealthyFaithChat

@HoneycombHermit @PilgrimIntoWord @khutch0767 😂

@khutch0767 A8. In the hearts of those who hate God, the only thing between them and murder, violence, is the absence of civil authority, food, water, shelter. We see this over and over in history. It is the apex of man’s natural state. Breakdown took 4 chapters in Genesis #HealthyFaithChat

@Psychobabble66 @khutch0767 100% agree.

@tcunderdahl Not many people know this but scholars have recently discovered that ‘manna’ should have been translated as pineapple all along. #HealthyFaithChat

@khutch0767 A7. Awareness of the battle between our passions, our earthly desires and wants. v4 asks ‘Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?’. The answer to this is cling tight to Him, seek His counsel, walk His ways.

#HealthyFaithChat

@Psychobabble66 @khutch0767 My answer to that is ‘look what happened the last time God showed Himself’. And all the times before when He put himself amongst His people. Proximity and familiarity does nothing for the fickle hearts of men. #HealthyFaithChat
