Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024

I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 7, 2024
