The Lord Does Not Delight in the Strength of the Horse. He Takes No Pleasure in the Legs of a Man.



Psalm 147:10-11
 
He does not delight in the strength of the horse;
He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,
In those who hope in His mercy. NKJV

Recently someone told me that The Chosen has a scene where Jesus is shown not playing ball very well. 
 
Supposedly, the game was one played during the time of Jesus.  No matter. My point is that my Lord Jesus was treated in such a disrespectful and misleading way.
 
Unlike our modern culture where grown men play children's games, I do not believe the disciples, many fishermen, all now fishers of men, had or took time to play games. 
 
 The apostle Paul admonished the early church to put away childish things.  Maybe some adults took time for such games, but I do not believe Jesus and the disciples did. Look at my posted verse. Jesus' disciples were concerned with learning from Him about God's hope and mercy. 

It is clear that Dallas Jenkins knows little about the Bible, or cares little about what it says, to put a scene like the one mentioned (there are many others even worse) in his movie.
 
Jenkins uses historical fiction as an excuse for writing Jesus into our culture as he seemingly hopes to cause people to identify with Jesus and like Him. 
 
Through these disrespectful misrepresentations of Jesus, far too many  believe they are understanding Jesus Christ beyond what God said in the Bible.

God takes no pleasure in this movie.  Dallas Jenkins obviously does not fear God as he is rewriting the character of Jesus most disrespectfully.  

Dallas Jenkins, according to the scenes in The Chosen, is not hoping in the mercy of God, but rather in a vain imagination exalting itself above God. 
 
 God plainly says to cast down imaginations that exalt themselves above God as we read in 2 Corinthians 10:5
 "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
 
Please do not look to this movie to learn about Jesus.  You are like sheep going to the slaughter if you do so.  You are not learning about the true Jesus. 
 
This Jesus of Dallas Jenkins and the LDS looks good to you because He is portrayed with sinful behavior and failures like you have.  So wrong.  Jesus is the Son of God.  Take time to learn of Him through prayer and reading the Bible. 

Father God, deliver us from evil.  Protect us from Satan's lies.  In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.  Amen.

    These are excellent points! I especially like your reference to 2Cor 10:5 which I had not even considered before. We Christians all come to the table as sinners and I pray that we have a teachable heart that is ready for reprove and rebuke for that is what the scriptures do for us. May we repent and turn away from the things that tickle our ears and displease the Lord. Thank you for being bold and swimming against the tide - it's not always easy but God has strengthened you, sister! Praise Him!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME SEVENTY-EIGHT TIMES ON FEBRUARY 16TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🧁

     "When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice." Billy Graham   PSALMS 92:12-15  The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.   They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.   I was born again 70 years ago. Eight years after my mother gave me birth, Father God gave me His Holy Spirit because His Son, Jesus Christ was born of a virgin to die for my sins and give me a clean heart so that I could be born of His Spirit. Born Again!   The New Birth  (John 3:1-17)   There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews....

What are good Bible verses for healing?

Image
   Psalm 147:3: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Proverbs 17:22: A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. James 5:15: And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.   Isaiah 33:24  "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."   Frazer's commentary on Isaiah 33:24  in Penny Pulpit says in short,  original sin is the root cause of sickness.    Matthew Henry's commentary on Isaiah 33:24, " The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity, not only the body of the nation forgiven their national guilt in the removing of the national judgment, but particular persons, that dwell therein, shall repent, and reform, and have their sins pardoned. And this is promised as that which is at the bottom of all other favours; he ...

Is Your Name Written There?

Image
Revelation 13:8 KJV   "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."   I believe the ones in the tribulation time who have not accepted Jesus will be the ones whose names will not and can not be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. This is the only restriction. God knowing whose names are there is not a restriction on having one's name written there.  It is our choice to be part of the elect, but we MUST CHOOSE JESUS!  Repent today and ask Him to forgive your sins, and invite His Holy Spirit into your heart.  The Heavenly Father is waiting for you to come. He is ready to write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Come to the REAL JESUS today!  Isaiah 30:18 (NLT) But the Lord still waits for you to come to him so he can show his love and compassion. For the L...
