Exploring the True Origins of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Exploring the True Origins of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

King David established a standing army as well as officers over the economy of Israel. A military force of 24,000 men rotated in and out each month for 12 months. So, David had a military force of 288,000 men. God gave David a keen mind for organizing the nation. You can read about all he did in 1 Chronicles 27:1-34.

Freewill

 What is free moral agency?

    Answer: While the precise expression "free moral agency" is not found in
the scriptures as such, the concept is present. By "free" is meant the
enjoyment of certain rights, "moral" suggests right principles or conduct,
and "agency" refers to the state or being of exerting power or choice.

    God has endowed man with freedom of choice. The scriptures urge man to
"choose," "come unto me," and "open the door" (Josh. 24: 15; Matt. 11: 28;
Rev. 3: 20). Adam and Eve were given the choice to obey or disobey God (Gen.
2: 17; 3: 1-6). The famous "curses" of the Hebrew scriptures were based on
the Jew's free moral agency: "But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not
hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God...that all these curses shall
come upon thee..." (Deut. 28: 15-20, 45). Jesus said to those who were
spiritually doomed, "ye would not!" (Matt. 23: 37).

   Man is responsible for his own actions. Since man has the freedom to obey
or disobey and God does not overpower the will of man, man is responsible
for his own actions. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die," declared the
prophet (Ezek. 18: 20). Sin, as such, is not inherited. "The son shall not
bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity
of the son." The prophet further states, "...the righteousness of the
righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon
him" (Ezek. 18: 20, cf. Matt. 18: 3-6; 19: 13-15).

    In view of the freedom of choice belonging to man, the book of Acts
abounds with examples of the sinner being urged to come to God. At the very
outset we read, "And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
saying, save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly
received his word were baptized..." (Acts 2: 40, 41, KJV). Beloved, are you
making the right choice?

Samaria

"Samaria” was the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel. It was built about 880 B.C. by Omri, the sixth king of Israel (1 Kings 16:24). Samaria occupied a three hundred foot high hill about 42 miles north of Jerusalem and 25 miles east of the Mediterranean Sea. This hill was situated on the major north-south road through Palestine. It also commanded the east-west route to the Plain of Sharon and the Mediterranean Sea. It could easily be defended because it was on the hill; however, its great weakness was that the nearest spring was a mile away. Samaria repopulated by “men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim” (verse 24), all bringing their pagan idolatries with them. Intermarriage of native Jews with these foreigners led to the mixed race of Samaritans so despised by full-blooded Jews during the time of Jesus (John 4:1-10).

Hoshea will be the last king to reign over the ten tribes of Israel as a unit. His reign will be a short nine years, of which three years he will be under siege from the Assyrians. The Assyrians will defeat Israel, and take their people captive.

iNEPT

If you're under 50 you really need to read this. If you’re over 50, you lived through it, so share it with those under 50. Amazing to me how much I had forgotten!

When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratically controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.

Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. Next, she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.

Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guinier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.

Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

Many younger votes will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six- month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.

Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.

Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.

Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the #$%$ eruption” and scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:

She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation, they settled with Ms. Jones.

She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor.

After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr's investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.

Hillary’s devious game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for 'lying under oath' to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.

Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.

After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.

What a swell party – ready for another four or eight years of this type of low-life mess?

Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next.

But to her loyal fans (supporters) - I guess in her own words “what difference does it make?”

Poison

A man went to his father and said: 
‘Father, I can't take it anymore, my wife is driving me insane!!! I want to kill her, but I'm afraid someone might find out I did it. Please help me?!
The Father replied:
‘Yes I can help you, but there's a but... you're going to have to make amends with her so no one would suspect that it was you, when she dies… You'll have to take very good care of her, be kind, grateful, patient, caring, less selfish, listen more and help her with chores... you see this powder here? Every day you have to put a little in her food. So, she dies slowly.
Thirty days had passed and the son came back and said to his father:
‘I don't want her to die! I have come to love her. And now… how do I cut the effect of the poison?’
Then the father said:
‘Don't worry! What I gave you was rice powder. She's not going to die, because the poison was in you!’
‘When we feed grudges, our love slowly dies. When we make peace with ourselves and with those who offended us, then we can deal with the other, as we would like to be treated.’
Then, we will have the initiative to love, to give, to offer, to serve, to care for... and not just have the need to win, to be served, or to take advantage of and exploit the other.
We all need to stop, pray and ask for that antidote called forgiveness.
