Why does it start on verse 4?

Why isnt anyone asking these questions?

Im sure you'll say satan had something to do with it?

Hi Patrick, the answer to your question is that Esther ends at chapter 10 verse 3, so naturally the 'additions' picks up in verse 4 and continues. You can probably find info online about why the book was divided into 2 parts to begin with. I would not be so quick to assume bad motives and satan is behind everything you don't yet understand. God bless.

Ah, ok.

But checking online to see why its divided as such seems peculiar, why doesnt it tell us?

And its easy to blame Satan for everything and take the responsibility off those who added and subtracted to a book that says Israel is chosen by God while the examples of their repetitive failure with God in front of them is never mentioned.

That required no faith, the red sea parting.......

Im not trying to discredit but I am pointing out some valid points.

Patrick are you choosing to try and believe or honestly questioning why God did what He did, that I can respect but to think that God didn't know what He was doing to save His greatest creation man is like you making a clay pot and deciding to make it ugly beautiful round or square but that power is in your control. Now consider the creator who had to sware by hinself who of men He called and chose to believe Him and carry out His Word to the best of their ability until the messiah could be born. Make no mistake He overlooked a lot of children of isreals faults.

I think ive made it pretty clear its NOT God but us doing the damage in His name.

I went to a church this summer to ask them about what they actually did with tithes.

God started showing me things right off the bat then I had to wait for someone to call me because they were busy remodeling the building.

And when he did call it was pure evil.

He lashed out at me right off the bat, i tried to stop him twice to pray and he refused. Its all up for interpretation, he said.
