Discuss Jeremiah 7 Page 2

Brother David:

Matthew 5:25 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body cast into GEHENNA (translated hell).

When Jesus was on earth Gehenna was the dump ground for Jerusalem where all the trash, garbage and bodies of dead criminals was dumped. It was on fire to DESTROY. Worms were there eating the dead flesh. As long as there was new fuel being dumped there, the worms never died nor was the fire ever quenched. It's a city park now, the is no longer worms or a fire.

Jesus was using Gehenna as an analogy, not something literal. If Jesus meant for you to take it literally, why aren't you missing eyes, hands and feet, that you have cut off and plucked out, to stay out of HELL.

Hank The term zodiac originated from greeks the term means circle of animals, like misheal shared in old testament times astrology or worship of the Queen of heaven Jeremiah 7:18 the judean people were taken captive by a culture that primarily did that to say the least not good. Astrology is worship of stars in contrast astronomy is science of the stars big difference in the book of psalms 19:1-9 The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth showeth his handy work. We worship creator they worship creation. God Bless

The mention of Queen of Heaven in Jeremiah chapters 7 & 44 refers to an Assyrian & Babylonian goddess, also known as Ashtoreth & Astarte by other groups. She was thought to the wife of the false god, Baal & women were particularly inclined towards her, as she was known to be a 'fertility goddess' as well. Sadly, Israel, who often was severely accused & punished by the True God for their embracing these false gods & goddesses, are seen here in Jeremiah actually giving much of their time & importance to this goddess, thereby bringing on God's Anger again through the prophet.

And though Israel largely rejected such worship later on, & certainly Christians are careful not to introduce idols & worship of them into our faith, Roman Catholics still practise idolatry & venerate & worship Mary, even referring to her in one of her titles, as the "Queen of Heaven & Earth". I wonder where this belief & worship of anything else but the True God emanated from?

who was the queen of heaven?

Persecution of the remnant church in the wicked USA shall bring about repentance. Praying for this country means nothing without repentance and turning from the things God hates. Judgment shall be good for the church and the wicked.

1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

There comes a time when the Lord is done with evil as recorded in Jeremiah

Jeremiah 7:16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

Jeremiah 11:14 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.

I believe this is where America and the EU are today.

I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Mishael, with the advent of the internet, there's so much information on the Bible & Bible helps there, that the old hard copies are now near to becoming redundant. Anyway, we older folks still prefer to flick through its pages & enjoying searching the Word systematically. Yes, the NASB is said to be a very good translation as well, & a good option to the KJV.

You have much more experience than I do in all versions of the Bible. I only have King James Bible and KJV Bible commentaries; Dictionary. I knew you have recommended the NAS too. I just thought you'd do better to answer that questioner. I meant no confusion.

Although I have a Dakes, I really only look at the lists or their concordance. I just ordered a new KJV large print concordance so I can see it; which I am very excited to get.

Thanks Mishael: I think you would have done quite well, as others, to answer this question.

Ongom, your question can receive many answers according to people's research, their understanding & preference for a particular version. As you are asking on this Site, the obvious answer will be that the King James Version is more preferable to all others. I only read from it, though I believe that if someone simply can't understand its English & if suitable helps are not available to them, then it's better to read from another translation (e.g. NASB, NKJV), than not read or understand the Bible at all.

So to the KJV. Even though it was translated from later Manuscripts (& not the older ones as some would give preference to), the translators found that these Manuscripts were much more reliable (for consistency, accuracy & from checking with other Manuscripts) than the others, such as the Sinaitic & Vatican Manuscripts, which contained significant errors.

As well, there were many scholars (about 47 of them), highly skilled in Hebrew & Greek who were involved in this work of translating & they constantly checked, re-checked & assessed their work before the Bible was published. In fact, they worked for several years (about six years, I think) to ensure total reliability.

Yet, I must also say, that by just reading the Bible (as many do for its olden history), will be of limited value unless God's Spirit Who inspired the writers of the Bible books, is also involved in helping the reader to understand it & learn from its many precious lessons. So, we pray that God's Spirit will help you to decide on the right version of the Bible & then to understand & apply the Truths of His Word to your life.

You'll have to ask Chris that. He's had a lot of experience with translations.

I've marked up about 10 Bibles. I'm waiting on a new one to arrive :D

I like a King James Version with the center of the pages column (cross referencing, prophesies, meanings); with dictionary and large concordance.

There are Commentary reference books too. That's one you'll want to ask Chris which is best.

Question. Which is the best Bible translation?

Rome adopted the queen of heaven from the jews mentioned in Jeremiah 7:18

After reading the above chapter it is clear like the Sun on a cloudless day, therefore it cannot be denied. How did we make it to 2020 when all the earth mankind are the above chapter..... We made it because GOD gave us a extension through HIS MERCY. Thank GOD for extending us HIS MERCY again, and especially thanks for SALVATION through JESUS. John 3:16-21 direct us to SALVATION today because tomorrow may not arrive but the day of judgment is promised.

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty! Thank you for Salvation throuh your Son and I pray for thy Peace for me / us as 'Thy Willl' be done once again. Amen.

TO OBEY OUR GOD IT WILL TAKE COMMITMENT AND MOST OF ALL IT WILL CHANGE OUR LIFE FOEVER

Then and now the people do the abominations that God hates only to come to their places of worship to appease their consciences. This is useless God sees all of this. They worship other God's which they spend their time and money on. instead of justice and mercy they oppress. God is not in their places of worship but is on the outside knocking on the door waiting for them to open it up to him.

(verses 4-7) Jeremiah 7:29 "...for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath." Jeremiah 15:1 "...Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth." Why, we ask, does the Lord keep silence, while the wicked exalt themselves, and go without restraint? Because He's about to destroy them!

Bring it on up to 2017 into our times. Idols now are our tablets, computers and mobile devices of any kind. Although synonymous, we can use it for good or bad. We can go on it 3 minutes a day and give God first fruits of our day and week or we can use the high technology for IDOL WORSHIP. As Christians, we must be very careful not to offend God. We must put God, through Christ Jesus First.

Verse 6 is referring to all these buildings that's talked about in verses 1 and 2. People pay money to go in these buildings to hear falsehood. 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ and shall deceive many. Jeremiah 7:11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD. Ezekiel 7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

Jeremiah 2:8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. Jeremiah 12:10 Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. John 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. Jeremiah 7:11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

Brenda ragsdale's and Angela Barnes': Acts 12:4 Easter verse 3 1 King Herod seized Peter also, he saw the people were pleased when he arrested some who belonged to the church. James the brother of John was put to death. 2 Notice Peter was arrested during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was the week following Passover. Passover was for one day only. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was a week long festival directly following Passover.. 3 Passover had passed, Passover was over. 4 Herod intended after "EASTER" to bring him, Peter, forth to the people. Jeremiah 7:18 speaks of the Queen of Heaven, Ishtar, also know as Estar,she is a goddess, the Mesopotamian goddess of love and fertility 44:17 . This pagan celebration was held the same time of year as the Feast of Unleaved Bread. There is much info out there giving Bible verses you can check for yourself. Easter was a Roman pagan celebration. There were many disgusting things that happen and after reading all I can find on "Easter" and it being a pagan holiday I myself will not have anything to do with it.

this is the warning to us now if we repent of our sins he god will come to us he is near .closer than you think

Verse 28, Israel rejects Jesus. They rely on the building of the new temple on temple mount, verse 4, which is not required by Jesus. They think that if they rebuild the temple and begin the animal sacrifices again that the Lord will protect them. Verse 10 says the Lord is expected to forgive their sins if they continue in their old ways of worship verse 24. But they are not going forward accepting Jesus but instead they are going backward and the Lord will reject them for that as shown in verse 15. The result of the actions and insistence in their old ways of worship will cause war to come to Israel. Verse 30 might be speaking of expansion of territory to enlarge Israel. Verse 31 is talking about their children being sacrificed as a result of war which GOD did not ask them to do.

Obedience to His will is the only way to unlock the blessing that must be poured upon our lives..

Is all about self control,lets amend our ways and doing for HE says!he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world!

I believe that even today men hearts are continuelly on evil,man call right wrong and wrong right.therefore jer.7:24 is just as true today,going backward instead of forward.

What Mugabi says is truth and I add this, stay in the word and away from them that God says is houses of dung and the scribes that twist the scriptures and tha goes for any Bible that's not the good old King James and stay away from preachers that preach out of their own mind. Best just to hear Gods voice and that is by picking up a Bible and listening to His words by reading and asking Him to help in the learning. Oh, repent as it says and come back to Me God says and He will be there. Walk in His way as the Word says.

1 For the lord our God is not pleased with pagan worship dishonoring his temple and name.
2God is more concerned to his temple to be kept holy.
3Sinners have no chance in dwelling in God's presence, repentant is a must.
4We should yarn to hear,understand and haken to the voice of the lord so that we don't become disobedient,
