Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
At its face value, the message seems to be overall good but then you’ll realize it also has an incoherent implication that says “the universal moral standard that you need to follow is that it’s optional to follow the universal moral standard”
When Mary heard from the angel Gabriel that Elizabeth was in her 6th month of pregnancy, Mary quickly left to join her. As the two greeted and the baby John leaped for joy in her womb, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and couldn’t believe Mary would come to her that she exclaimed
Luke 1:42-45 “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
After noting the three had all that excitement and gratefulness, we soon read the following verses in an interesting order:
Luke 1:56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about 3 months and then returned home.
Luke 1:57-58 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
Q: When Mary left to go home, Elizabeth would have been in about her 9th month of pregnancy (6th month + “about 3 months” she stayed). With the author having written verses 56 through 58 in that order, was he saying Mary actually left Elizabeth before John was born?

If we raised more of those we wouldn’t be in the wretched mess we find ourselves in today!

Exactly. Sad that people allow children to get caught up in this worlds perversions and instead of helping with their mental disabilities they promote them and ultimately send the child into a life of turmoil and eventual destruction. That is 2020 for you in a nutshell. Look around.
