The First Temple was probably very different from what you believe.

The story of the First Temple begins with David, who was not allowed to build because of all of the “blood that was on his hands.” David’s son Solomon would be the one that undertook and completed the task.

Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

  When Jesus said, “Come you blessed of my Father,” he was referring the Creator’s blessing of the humans in Genesis 1. It reveals the Creator’s vision of how humans are to live on earth.
