For some religious folks, God remains a jealous, vengeful and capricious power, playing favorites instead of how the Bible portrays Him a loving and impartial Ruler who has the right to demand justice and righteousness (Romans 2:1-11; cf.

A querist asks, “Would you comment on Exodus 21:22? In the context it is used, what is meant by 'no mischief follow'?” Exodus 21:22-25 is speaking about the crime of striking an expectant mother (which causes the child to be born prematurely and dies).

In Matthew 5:6, when Jesus used the figurative terms, “hunger” and “thirst,” He conveyed the idea of strong desire and longing.

When we look at all of the blessings that our Lord provides us, and the characteristics of our Lord that are presented by the New Testament writers, we see a complete portrait of Jesus: In Matthew He is the King of the Jews (Matthew 2:1-2).

Looking at the story of King David, Israel’s most illustrious ruler a man after God’s own heart, we see that he became the seducer, the adulterer, the liar, the murderer utterly pitiless and unmoved by his monstrous misdeeds (2 Samuel 12:1-14).
