My dear Raymond,
I need your view on the following statement.
Deuteronomy
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. [a] 5 Love the
LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be
upon your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them
when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie
down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind
them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses
and on your gates.
10 When the LORD your God brings you into the land he swore to your
fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you=97a land with large,
flouri****ng cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds
of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and
vineyards and olive groves you did not plant=97then when you eat and are
satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought
you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his
name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;
15 for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his
anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of
the land. 16 Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah. 17 Be
sure to keep the commands of the LORD your God and the stipulations
and decrees he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the
LORD's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and
take over the good land that the LORD promised on oath to your
forefathers, 19 thrusting out all your enemies before you,
Raymond, why you pray and serve to a human name Jesus as your God?
