Jeremiah 35-37

[wolfpurplemoon]

God teaches Jeremiah a lesson about keeping to the rules handed down with an example of a group of people who were told they'd be better off if they drunk no wine and didn't own fields or crops and lived in tents. It's not clear what they achieved by sticking to their ancestor's ruling, but God says this is a good lesson. Actually it sounds like he's jealous that some mere human told his family not to do these things and they still keep to that order but whatever God does he can't convince his people to follow anything he tells them.

Jeremiah gets a scribe to take dictation and then read the scroll to various people, some tell him and Jeremiah to hide before the King hears what the scroll says. The King burns the scroll when it is read to him and demands to see Jeremiah and his scribe friend but they are too well hidden and writing another identical scroll that also includes lots of insults to the king for burning the first scroll.

Hey I'm excited that u are on this trip though the word of God. I can't wait for u to get to the new testament. That is where u will find we are no longer under the law but grace. God is love and his ways seem foolish to the human mind. But I can promise u that u are a treasure to him. Man alot of Christians will tell that u are messed up the only thing I will tell u is that I disagree with u and that God loves me no more than he loves you. This whole Bible is nothing more than the government of God. His kingdom is forever and is true. God loves us so much he allows us to make our on choice on choose n him and live n for him. U are his child and he created you to rule and rein. To his children he gives the kingdom of heaven. I am not here to debate with u our beleifs just here to cheer u on through this ride. I'm praying God speaks to ur heart and persuades u to his love for u and that u are royalty. God bless bro.
