Could Mary Have Been Stoned For Adultery?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 3, 2021

The title question leads us into a deeper appreciation of the sacrifice that Joseph made in standing with Mary.

Benjamin Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 27, 2022

The narrative states that Judah (on behalf of the other brothers) begged Joseph not to enslave Benjamin and instead enslave him since the enslavement of Benjamin would break Jacob's heart. This caused Joseph to recant and reveal his identity.

tom lowe 1/27/2022 Benjamin *tom lowe 1/27/2022 Benjamin *Benjamin is Jacob's twelfth son and a full brother to Joseph. Rachel names him Benoni with her dying breath, which means "son of my misfortune" or "son of my sorrow." After her death, Jacob changes his name to ...read more

Liberty And Jesus For All: The Ingredients Of Freedom Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Jun 28, 2023

God was at work in Joseph's life; but also his brothers. Ultimately God would make a nation out of the 12 tribes *(these boys) so ground work was being laid, even through the binding of Simeon (the lack of freedom) What do we learn about freedom through this event?

He wrote his daughter criticizing the selection of the eagle being the representative symbol of our national freedom; instead, he preferred ...read more
