Welcome to Perspective! God has given us all free will. I have faith in the word of God, God’s love, His purpose, His plan, and His will. The word of God was first written on stone and given to Moshe, called Moses. Later the inspired word of God was written on papyrus, a thick material like paper, and then rolled into scrolls. In 70 CE (Common Era), Gen. Titus led a Roman army, invaded Jerusalem, and destroyed the Temple. Romans, Rome, Italy; the Greek culture, men in power later known as the Roman Empire, desired to replace God’s plan with their own. Their plan is the Church, Acts 2:46-47 (v, 46 temple, then v. 47 church); and the religion is being a Christian, Acts. 11:25-26. This is history, this is truth, even if it is rejected, and even though replacement entered theology. The Temple was the only place of worship to God. This can be found in 2 Samuel 7:1-16. Our Redeemer has a Hebrew name, Yeshua, he is the Word who became flesh, John 1:1-5. God inspired His word to men from the house of Israel. Yeshua shared it with men from the house of Israel, except Luke who became born again and followed the Way, Acts. 9:1-2; Matt. 10:1-7.  Yeshua taught what caused anger, rejection, and verbal attacks from the chief priests and religious leaders. Unity is the plan of God, heirs with joint-heirs, Eph. 2:11-18. The annual celebration of Columbus Day would make a person believe he discovered America, but the explorer credited for doing this is named Amerigo Vespucci. The indigenous people of the land were actually primitive Asiatic people, but the name Columbus called them has remained in use to this day, Indians, Truth is rarely shared telling that Columbus accidentally stumbled onto this land as he searched for a shortcut to India. God desires us all to have knowledge and understanding, and to have unity, many members, one Body.
