What is This?. James Henry Bryant
great nation “[Genesis 17:20] the Father heart wants the same for all his children. Even though Sarah had him throw out Ishmael and his mother Hagar, that didn’t stop Abraham for wanting the same blessing for both his children without discriminations.
And let’s look at David in this one instance as a would be Father who had committed adultery with Uriah’s wife Bathsheba and murder, God told him he would be punished meaning the life of the expectant child, but David’s heart of a Father still sought God hoping he’d change his mind and let the child live, like any Father, do not want to see his seed die, he fasted prayed wept, all to no avail, because God had spoken it, it came to pass [see 2 Samuel 12:18] and it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died.” God cannot lie!
No Father wants to see, hear of the death of his child, it is heart rending, it’s as a part of the Father has died with each death of one of his children. We don’t want to hear such news or have it brought to our attention or even be made aware of such loss, but the fact of life is everyone is born to die, the acceptance of a Father’s love.
Fathers have to be careful what they wish for as in the book of Judges 11:30–40, Jephthah had a daughter, who through accident or design become the honored sacrifice of the vow made by her Father, if God gave him the victory in battle. She was his only child. When she knew of his vow, she honored that vow to the death. How many of us would give God our only child?
A father is usually is the background on such issues as I have put here in, but a true Father is always up front in all his undying love for his children. This is a Father’s love.
In summation the greatest example of a father is given to us in John 3:16 for God so love the world, he gave his only Begotten son that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have ever lasting life. A true Father love. He that has seen me has seen the father. If you had known me, you should have known my Father also. No man cometh unto the Father, buy by me I am the way, the truth and the life. In my Father’s house are many mansions, but the Father lives in me. He that loveth me will be loved of my Father. [St John 14:2,6,9,10,]
My Father is a greater than I [vsi 28] but that the world may know I love my Father [vrs 31] my father is the husband man [15:1] the Father always love me [vs. 9] I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love [vs.10] whatsoever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may gave it you [vs.16] I will send unto you from the Father, even the spirit of truth [vs.26] your Father which seeth in secret will reward you openly [Matt. 6:6] your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. [vrs.8]
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heaven. Father feedeth them. Are you not much better than they? [matt 6:26]
If you have aught against any Father, forgive that your Father also which is in heavens may forgive you. [Mark 11:25]
That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust [Matt. 5:45]
Be you therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heavens is perfect [vrs.48]
These are the attributes of a Father’s love. I am aware also many, many of you have no connections, or want any connections or love from your father. But just a reminder, that it’s become of him, you are here, without his seed being planted in your Mother you wouldn’t exist. Woman can’t do it by herself, even in a sperm bank, it was a donation of a man. So stall out the hate, of your Father, it is definitely because of him, that you are here today, I don’t care what kind of man he is, or how delinquent, drunk, crazy, drug alcohol user or abuser he is: he is still your Father, there would be no you without him. Love your Fathers in spite of. Even if you were absent of your Father’s love, and absent of his being there for you, and even though Mom had to do for you by herself or with a step dad who need to take over not replace. Remember, it was your dad who is solely responsible for you being here in this life, so cultivate a Father’s love, even though.
The Real Reason for the Destruction of Sodom
Despite what you heard, preached, taught or perhaps learned about the destruction of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zebrim, the five cities of the plains, probably stood at the northern end of the salt sea. [Gen. 14:3–13:10] I want you to forget about any sensual wickedness homosexuality, eccetra. I want your undivided attention on the facts of this teaching. No I’m not trying to justify a lifestyle. I’m strickly teaching the word as it was revealed to me under the teaching of the Holy Ghost.
The cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zebrim, were populated by Isrealites, who had broke away from the Commandment of God. Namely, the first, found in Exodus 20:3–7:
“You will have no other gods before me. You will
not make unto you any carved statues or statuetes
or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the
water under the earth. You will not bow down your-
self to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord your God
am a jealous God, visiting the sins of the fathers
upon the children unto the third and fourth gene-
ration of them that hate me. And showing mercy
unto thousands of them that love me and keep MY
commandments. you will not take the name of
the Lord in vain; for the Lord will not
hold you guiltless that uses His name
in vain. [also see, Deuteronomy 4:1–40]
These cities were located around the Northern end of the Jordan valley, approximately 53 miles long, with and average breadth of 9miles, its surface being about 1290 feet below the Mediterranea. Salt or Dead Sea as it is now called, was fed by the Jordan River and by smaller streams, but had no outlet except by evaporation. The accumulation of salt therefrom led to the Isrealites producing and having productive salt mines, giving rise to a great economy for its wealthy population. the water itself was extremely bitter. the residents of the cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zebrim were highly literary, rich and successful in salt, copper, crafts, among other ventures and produce [Genesis 13:10]
It should be noted that the residence of these cities had laws in place that disallowed strangers to enter their homes, only family friends and kin, otherwise, it would cause a lynch mob to gather outside the house mainly orchestrated by the men of Belial, only meaning, wicked or evil or worthless individuals [Judges 19:22] The servants of false gods as stated in Deuteronomy 13:13:
certain men, the children of Belial, are gone
out from among you, and have withdrawn the
people of the cities, saving, let us go and ser-
ve other gods, which you have not known.
these were promoters of idolatry, causing the residents
of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zebrim, to stray from God’s command of no
other gods before me. Idolatry, generally means nature of worship in
one form or another. Among these cities of Isrealites, Baal was the sun
god or source of life, Ashtoreth was the corresponding female version
of Baal, who ascribed either prosperity or misfortune, and worship with open practices of adultery between married couples as evidenced in Second Peter 2:6,14
“And turning the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah into ashes condemn them with
an overthrow making them an example unto
those that after ungodly, having
eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease
from sin, beguiling [or tempting] unstable souls
