Jeremiah Chapter 2 Discussion Page 2

When they had nothing they sought after God. Know God brings them to a land of plenty n they turn to idolatry

Verse 18, Sihor is the name given for the river Nile. Perhaps this verse is asking Israel why they drink waters from nations that are not theirs. This can have both a spiritual and a physical meaning both being symbolic in presentation. Jesus is the living water which Israel rejects and does not drink. That is spiritual. When one drinks water physically, the water is consumed and taken into ones body. I think this verse is speaking of expansion into areas that do not belong to Israel to bring those areas into the nation of Israel. Israel attempts expansion on the basis of self protection while rejecting the fact that it is GOD that is Israel 's protection. The very act of expanding their borders puts Israel in peril. They are not putting their faith in GOD to protect them but in their own military positioning security instead.

God is saying, I blessed you, I 've taken you into the land of milk and honey, and you turned away from me, to serve other Gods.

The main reason as Christians, we under deliverance is to become pure and serve Him whole heart , we are not delivered to go free , we are delivered to become slaves of serving Him. Because when your in the world you 're strongly slave , after deliverance you become slave for Christ too.

chance after chance GOD had given them a chance to repent, he pleads with them, like hes doing with AMERICA,and all unbelivers

to my understanding of the chapter, God is reminding us that there is no other god who can save on earth and in heaven apart from Him.

I believe Jeremiah Chpt 2 23 is talking about being lost and not knowing it. Like a camel wandering without a guide who swiftly runs away without any direction. Lost!

I was wondering what this passed jeremiah 2 23 till the end ment I still dont have a clear understanding

This is great for kids

To continue in sin, yet expecting the Lord's blessing is what this chapter is all about.

verse 32:can a maid forget her ornaments? this verse tells us that we should forget about God in whatever situation we might be in but we should remember the Good things God has done to us.

God is so merciful that He's pleading with us to change our ways and return back unto Him before It's too late. His mercy has given us chance after chance.

Jeremiah now sees what the Lord had called him for.

It sounds like a people, who have forgotten upon whose name we called and forgotten who it is that has delivered us. Yes right after God has showed his mercy and grace we spit in his face. We disregard all the hurt and pain we were in until we called upon the name of the Lord and he answered but now that we are out of what seems to be immediate danger we for got all about God. The term when the cats away the mouse will play seem to be how we are, yes we've turn are backs on God and started following that other great God the World, all of which man can not serve both. Being true to God will shelter you from a multitude of problem that you will find just living in this wicket world. The reason for the Ten Commandments was to point out the wrong the sin that was in the world and show us what did not please God. We have went right back to where we were suppose to have come out from, God can never be happy with this for the God we serve is a Jealousy God , he deserves the Glory, and as long as we follow him we'll have Glory as well.

remember your first love. sin will bring you down

Sounds like the US in headed in the same direction.

Verse 32, forget not how God has clothed the church as a bride is clothed with honor. When we worship other gods we dishonor ourselves and God.

Verse 7: "And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination." Think about this in the context of how we defile the land with mountaintop removal coal mining, ocean drilling spills, pollution of our water with fracking fluids, contaminating the air and water with coal refuse, AND the ultimate offence ruining the Earth’s climate by dumping greenhouse gases and warming the Earth.

We should always remember where God has got us from, for if we can know the things he has done, we will always acknowledge that he is the creator and seek his kingdom not the other pleasures. GOD, HAVE MERCY UPON US.

Wow, its amazing how people can take whatever they wish from these passages. Or take one phrase or part of a phrase and make it a whole life's obsession.

If one claims to be a Christian, does that mean you take the teachings of Jesus over the old testament? Or can you pick and choose parts of the bible to affirm your point of view while discarding the rest.

If Jesus walked among us today, would he be on Wall Street or with Occupy Wall Street?

+-+WE CAN BRING THIS INTODAYS CENTURY. WE HAVE ALLOWED IDLE WORSHIP HERE PEOPLE WHO SAY JESUS IS A GOOD MAN , BUT NOT DIETY , THEY BUILD THEIR PAGAN TEMPLES,AND DO NOT WORSHIP THE ONLY TRUE GOD. THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON ;; IN GOD WE TRUST ;;WHERE ARE YOU AT????????????????

God said unto the Isrealites, a nation has not changed its gods which is yet no god but the of Isreal have changed their glory which is not lucrative to them. I have discovered something from the life cycle of Isreal. 1st. They backslided after God has saved them from them the hands of the Egyptians. They made a golden calf and worshiped it. 2nd, is oppression. God handled them in hands of the plunders. The plunderes attacked the Isrealites and took all their properties. 3rd, God's deliverance to the people of Isreal.

Just like today,only difference is the gods of our generation are technolygie,people,and material things that draw men attention far from GOD.GOD is saying comeback my children,life without putting GOD first is all vanity.thank GOD for the truth amen.

Two evils was commited from God's people! 1st they forsaken Christ as the fountain of the living Water; 2nd they hewed them out broken Cisterns that could not hold no water! Their own wickedness shall correct them, and their backsliding will reprove them. God told his people not to change their GLORY that which did not profit them;by serving other gods. But they refused and did not take heed to the Prophet and was destroyed by God's anger. in the Book of Revl it talks about the wrath og God! It is not wise to fall into the HANDS of THE TRUE AND LIVIG God. Thank YOu Lord for Your Mercy and Grace with out it we are LOST. Amen

God desires and values our relationship with Him but men keep on shifting their focus from God. Help us God to run back to you!!

As it was in the day of Noah

sounds like Jeremiah is talking to GOD about todays people
