  • Repenting for Our Fathers’ Sins – Part 6/6

    Ezra also provides an example of the same thing in terms of prayers of repentance for the sins of our fathers. Ezra 9:1-15 Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, “The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands,…

    Nehemiah also provides us with two examples of repentance for the sins of our fathers. In a first example, the prayer is simply indicated, without the details being provided: Nehemiah 9:1-3 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon…

    The same theme of repenting from the sins of our fathers can also be found in Psalm 106. Psalm 106:1-48 (the whole of the psalm) Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who…

    We can also see repentance for the sins of the fathers in two prayers of Jeremiah. Here is a first example: Jeremiah 14:19-22 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and…

  • Repenting for Our Fathers’ Sins – Part 2/6

    There is also an example of repenting of the sins of our fathers to be found in the final chapter of Lamentations. There, Jeremiah offers a prayer to God in which he expresses contrition for the sins of the fathers. In this case, it is explicit that the fathers have died. Lamentations 5:1-22 (the whole…

    Daniel prayed a prayer of confession to the Lord. His prayer is interesting in that it involves confession and repentance not only for individual sins, but also for collective sins of Israel, and the sins of their fathers as well. Daniel 9:4-19 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and…

  • The Koran, Dr. James White, and the Idea of Repenting

    Recently, a Youtube video came to my attention, in which my friend Dr. James White is accused of lying about the Koran. Specifically, Dr. White had made essentially the following argument: 1) Our Muslim friend alleges that the Bible is wrong, because the Bible says that God repented. 2) But, the Koran (at 2:37) teaches…

  • Haiti as a Warning to America

    Psalm 64:9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing. In a previous post we explored the possibility that the earthquake in Haiti is God’s judgment on Haiti (link to post). As we said then, it may well be God’s judgment on that…

  • Judgment on Haiti (?)

    Someone has claimed that Haiti’s disaster is due to the fact that they made a pact with the devil many years ago. The basic idea that they (or some small group of revolutionaries long ago) made a pact with the devil (or some evil spirit) is not necessarily incredible. It’s also not incredible that this…
