I CAN`T IMAGINE a journey of a thousand miles beginning with a thousand-mile step. When you say a single step, it is a very small beginning compared to the length of a journey that Lao Tzu is trying to tell or impress in this quotation.

Home Programs Are they Contradictory? I Chronicles 28:9 and Lamentations 3:31

No program of this kind has challenged the intelligent thinking man and skeptics who quickly dismiss the Bible as a source of truth, and claims that the Bible is inaccurate and self-contradictory.

But the seemingly contradictory verses that Bro. Willy Santiago posed will surely trickle down as to who is the rightful preacher and pastor gifted with the mastery of the Word of God in the Bible. Who will stand to answer the seemingly paradoxical verse? That is the challenge of this segment to everyone!
 
Are they Contradictory?
 
ccording to the book of I Chronicle 28:9

“And thou Solomon my son, know mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if you seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.”

King David told Solomon, “but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.” This means that God casts off. If you forsake Him, He will also cast you off forever.

But in another book of the Bible, in Lamentations, this is what 3:31 says—

“For the Lord will not cast off forever.”

This particular verse says that the Lord will not cast off forever while in I Chronicles, it says, He will cast you off if you forsake Him. In other words, the first verse said that God casts off forever, while the second verse said, he does not cast off forever.

What could be the truth? Does He cast off, or, does He not cast off? Do these verses contradict each other? What could be the answer?

Let us ask our teachers of the Bible … our ministers, pastors, priests … and those who claim to be teachers of the truth, and those who introduce themselves as apostles. Let us seek answers from them. If they could not give you any answer, let us ask Brother Eli Soriano.
