Jacob Prasch Hope or hopelessness, what is it to You April 10 2016 – Andrew R

This is one of Jacob’s older teachings: Hope or hopelessness, what is it to You? The theological term for pain is called, theodicy, the book of Job is dedicated to this subject. Why does God allow evil to exist, and why does God allow bad things to happen? This is called theodicy. First of all, Satan is the god of this world. And if God decided to eradicate all evil from this world he would be justified in doing so, he would have to start with me and you. Praise God, the God head decided to send Jesus, and he allowed himself to be hung on a tree to pay for the sins of the world with his blood, praise God. (Workout your salvation with fear and trembling). This could be the most depressing book ever written, except for these few pressures versus. The book of Lamentations was written for times just like these, hope for the hopeless, Jacob is reading from chapter 3:19-24 Remember my affliction and my [e]wandering, the wormwood and bitterness. 20 Surely my soul remembers and is bowed down within me. 21 This I recall to my mind; Therefore, I have hope. 22 The Lord’s loving kindnesses [f]indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” Some of you may not be familiar with Moriel Ministries, so I will take a few minutes to explain one of the things that we do. We try to help Christians to understand the Bible in its original context of the first century Church, which was established by the Lord through Jewish Christians. We try to read the Bible the same way the early Jewish church would have read it. There have been others who have tried to do that through the centuries, with varying degrees of success most notably the Plymouth Brethren. We believe it to be important in the Last Days to understand how to interpret the Bible in the way the first century Church did.
