Many have heard the story of the man whose devotional reading consisted of cracking his Bible at random and reading the first verse his finger touched. One morning this was his verse for the day: "And Judas went out and hanged himself."
That can't be it, he thought. So he tried again. "Go thou and do likewise" was his second hit.

Chagrined, he thought,The third time is a charm! It wasn't. It read: "What thou doest, do quickly!"


So Judas didn't hang himself?

Psalm 117:2, "For His lovingkindness is great toward us, And the truth of YHWH is everlasting. Praise YHWH!"


Isaiah 34:16, “Search from the book of יהוה, and read: not one of these shall be missing, not one shall be without a mate, for He has commanded my mouth. And His Spirit shall gather them.”





Psalm 139, "1, O יהוה, You have searched me And know me."2, "You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought from afar."3, "You sift my path and my lying down, And know well all my ways."4, "For there is not a word on my tongue, But see, O יהוה, You know it all!"5, "You have closed me in, behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me –"6, "Knowledge too wondrous for me, It is high, I am unable to reach it."7, "Where would I go from Your Spirit? Or where would I flee from Your face?"8, "If I go up into the heavens, You are there; If I make my bed in She’ol, see, You are there."9, "I take the wings of the morning, I dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,"10, "There, too, Your hand would lead me, And Your right hand hold me."11, "If I say, “Darkness shall cover me,” Then night would be light to me;"12, "Even darkness is not dark for You, But night shines as the day – As is darkness, so is light."13, "For You, You possessed my kidneys, You have covered me in my mother’s womb."14, "I give thanks to You, For I am awesomely and wondrously made! Wondrous are Your works, And my being knows it well."15, "My bones were not concealed from You, When I was shaped in a hidden place, Knit together in the depths of the earth."16, "Your eyes saw my unformed body. And in Your book all of them were written, The days they were formed, While none was among them."17, "And how precious are Your thoughts to me, O Yah! How great has been the sum of them!"18, "If I should count them, They would be more than the sand; When I wake up, I am still with You."19, "Oh, that You would kill· the wrong, O Yah! Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed!"20, "They speak against You wickedly. Bring Your enemies to naught!"21, "O יהוה, do I not hate them, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?"22, "With a complete hatred I hate them; They have become my enemies."23, "Search me, O Yah, and know my heart; Try me, and know my thoughts;"24, "And see if an idolatrous way is in me, And lead me in the way everlasting."

Sometimes the Creator shows us things or guides us or something, when it is from Him, we should take heed, His way is better than our way, no matter what it looks like His way is best.

Hello everyone,

Why are their people who say God doesn't care about the gentiles? And we could never be saved because we're not Israelite. Someone then stated we are twisting scriptures around to make salvation for us? I have always understood it to be differently that Jesus came to save all?
GOD in his love for all mankind chose to use the nation Israel as a means to speak to the rest of the world, he now speaks to the world through his son the lord Jesus christ hope this helps x

This topic could stand a bit more analyzing.

The Majority of Christians are confused. Christ warned many causing much deception claim the title " Christian " . So be very careful to do your own meticulous study of the Bible ,recall scriptures.. Dedicating at least an hour a day to read and prayer is a good start..


john 3:16

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek ( Greeks would be gentile ) , there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.



There is no rhyme nor reason why people conclude what they do. Just know God warned many times in prophecy it would be this way .
