Jehovah God's 1982

Additionally, he promised that the Messiah’s family line would survive through a “righteous Branch” when the time was right (Jeremiah 23:5). That ‘righteous Branch’ was ultimately realized through the life and death of Jesus Christ. Jeremiah knew pain and heartache. He knew what it was like to feel all alone in this world, to feel that God had forsaken him. Despite his attempts to change the trajectory of their lives, he helplessly witnessed the people of Judah refuse to heed his warnings and continue in a life of sin and moral corruption which led to their ultimate collapse and destruction.

The prophet Jeremiah lived during the most critical period of Judah's existence. He saw the destruction of Jerusalem. God’s declared that my people have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Therefore, I will, I cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets in Jerusalem, the voice in gladness and the voice in joy for the land shall become a desert. Jeremiah had continually warned God’s people to mend their ways before it was too late. And when the devastation finally overwhelmed Israel, he was the one who mourned Israel's terrible fate.

The Book of Jeremiah is of prophecy genre. Jeremiah is appointed a prophet to the nations by the Lord. Israel is unfaithful and Jerusalem is attacked. Jeremiah addresses the people of Judah and declares that false religions are worthless. The covenant is not kept. Jeremiah complains to God of the wicked. God answered

They cited the fact that Pope Pius IX used the full weight of the Catholic Church to quell the many revolutions throughout Europe in 1848 by siding with the multitude of Catholic monarchies being demonstrated against (pp. 23-24). To Protestants in America, this effectually made him, and the church he represented, an enemy of the Natural Rights of Man of which the American Revolution was embedded upon (Billington, 1938). Similarly, American papers carried the words of hot-headed Protestant ministers, who shouted from their pulpits that Catholicism was an [the] ally of tyranny, and the enemy of all personal

This quote encourages me to take strides in my faith in order to reach those that are lost and living a lifestyle that will lead to death, destruction, and an eternity in hell. Rather than condemning someone for their lifestyle, we should strive to present them with the alternative of an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Jeremiah may be one of the most intriguing and revealing of the Old Testament prophets. With his continual return to god and the constant struggle between his heart and the voice of god. This elevates him as a human being and not just as an instrument of god (Paterson 144). He is one of the most human of prophets mentioned in the Old Testament and at the same time most Christ like in aspects of his sermons and works. His story has intrigued many for it is of human weakness and strength (Paterson 139). Let us now take a look at his life and at his works.

Despite the age of these systems, the Catholic Church continues to operate close to them, similar to when they were adopted. The misunderstanding and prejudice towards these systems cause many people to adopt anti-Catholic beliefs for contemporary issues in America. The democratic political system in America clashes with the hierarchical lineage that the Catholic Church possesses. The problem arises when anti-Catholics claim that Catholics are un-American because they follow a hierarchy, rather than the “American” system of democracy. The democratic system allows the people to vote for their leader to govern them, however, the Catholic leader, the Pope, is not chosen by the people of the Catholic Church. Un-American criticism continues with the debates and movements on Sexism and Feminism. As women’s roles are changed, the Catholic Church is keeping true to its origins by keeping the governing body, the priesthood, bishops, Cardinals, and the Pope, a completely male role. The Church is criticized by many as being sexist and by that, un-American, for not allowing ordination for women. “Many Americans / view the church’s ban on women’s ordination largely in terms of democratic principles, or ‘rights’ and representation’” (Martin). Anti-Catholics throw up these accusations of sexism without contemplating the true role of women in the Catholic Church. Pope Francis said in an interview “’Look, in the Church women are more important than men, because the church is a woman / The Church is the bride of Jesus Christ. And the Madonna is more important that popes and bishops and priests’” (Ruiz). This governing structure, as well as other beliefs of the Catholic Church, seem confusing or silly to post-enlightenment ideas. As human philosophy has developed after the Enlightenment, the Church has kept the doctrine the same. This has not caused the anti-Catholic community to criticize

Jehovah Witness is an active presence of religion around the globe, with a peak of 8.2 million followers. It is centred upon the growth from Judge Joseph Franklin Rutherford. It is very strict due to the set of rules placed upon followers that doesn’t necessarily guarantee salvation. Even though it might seem hard to follow, it is very active amongst the globe.

Having two very different perspectives, Jeremiah sees what is happening from the inside whereas Ezekiel is on the outside with the royal family and people from the 1st exile. With the rising power Babylon is having, Jeremiah thinks that Judah must have done something terribly wrong for YHWH to allow such evil to happen to them. He envisioned the Babylon was a punishing

Jehovah Witnesses are a one hundred forty year old Christian organization famous for its teaching that the world is about to end, especially now that there is an existence of the United Nations. They believe that after death, spirits are held until judgement day and then there will be a determination of heaven or annihilation in which they immediately move on to another place. Some go to paradise, while others go to a place of torment until the second judgement. They believe that this second place being a temporary place of residence until the determination of

In an article written by Thomas Williams for Breitbart, it has been noted that the Supreme Pontiff seemed to have scolded the Catholic Church's highly conservative officials in a message he recently delivered in line with the 50th anniversary of the institution of the Synod of Bishops.

In Jeremiah 1:5, God declared, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you” (NAB). This pronouncement reveals three things: God knew Jeremiah before Jeremiah knew Him, God qualified Jeremiah before Jeremiah qualified, and God gave Jeremiah as a gift to be used to present His message of hope within his cultural

While you remain in listless indifference, how can you tell what is the will of God concerning you? and how do you expect to be saved, unless as faithful servants you do your Lord's will....pg. 206
