Now He said to them, "These
are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all
things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and
the
Prophets and the Psalms must be fullfilled." Then
He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, ....
Deuteronomy 12:23-27
First things first, a votive offering is a religious vow of personal property that acts like a deposit to be redeemed later. Notice that verse 25 says that you will be doing right in the sight of the Lord not to eat the blood. How is it that not eating blood can make this situation well with you and your sons? This statement leads me to believe that eating blood has implications that are not fully explained here in this text. That is not unusual. God typically only tells us what He wants us to know and not the whole story. Believing God beyond what He says is called faith. Think about the information we have on creation. God only tells us what we need to know in just a few short chapters. He does not tell us every aspect of how He made everything. You just need to know that God is in control. Some might say that if He would just tell us a little more, then people would believe. No, scripture does tell us that just because a man is exposed to the truth does not mean he will accept it. A self-righteous man can see another person raised from the dead and that self-righteous man will just explain away what he saw to justify what he believes. That is what mankind does. Man will justify his actions with all kinds of excuses to satisfy his conscience. Governments do the same thing because they are operated by mortal man. SOAPBOX: This is not biblical truth, but this is my humble opinion; if American blood is spilled in the act of war then that land should become a territory under the control of our country. A few topics we discuss will have a backdrop of theology, but will be based upon life issues. One example is the canopy theory which is based upon bible references, but is not a direct quote in the bible. When I discuss areas like that I want you to know that this is not a direct bible reference, but the subject is evaluated based upon the backdrop of scripture. This subject is based upon the backdrop of my scriptural understanding and is not straight from the Word of God. I personally consider the blood of each soldier has having great worth and value beyond measure. I do not want a single soldier to die in vain on any battlefield because of a political agenda. Life is precious. Again, this is just my opinion as an American based upon how I evaluate the whole of scripture. With that said, that would mean that Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan would all become territories under the control of our government. We could even stretch this theory back in time and apply it to Korea, Vietnam and Mexico where American blood was spilled on the battlefield. Did you know that America manages several territories right now? We manage islands in the Pacific to include Samoa, Guam and the Mariana Islands. We also manage Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The United States manages native American lands inside our own borders. Why not add Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan to that list? Why not ask them to help pay for the cost of these military operations? Why go to war if you do not take control of the land? Why lose American fighting men and go into serious financial debt fighting a war only to walk away as if nothing had ever happened? Why fight at all if you are not fighting to win? We need our military Commander and Chief to get his boots on the actual battlefield with our American troops and stay at the battle until the fight is over! If you remember the story of David and Bathsheba, you know that it would have been better for the king and for the country if the commander would have been with his troops at the battlefield instead of running around with another man's wife back home. His job was to look out for the best interests of the people, but David was too busy with his own desires and it cost many people their lives. God will hold him accountable for that and He will hold our leaders accountable. I saw a news report several months ago that really got my blood boiling. A young soldier had lost both legs and one arm in an explosion while serving in Afghanistan. I see this man as my brother-in-arms and my heart goes out to this young soldier. He is only in his twenties. I have a son in his twenties. It was a nice story about the modifications made to his home due to his loss, but the story just made me furious. The land where he lost his limbs should be our property generating tax revenue for our people inside our country. If you are not going to keep the land, then why go to war? I would not want my kids or myself to loose limbs in these 'police actions'. If you are going to war, go to war to take possession of the land and control the territory so that the sacrifice of our soldiers can be a blessing to his future generations. Why does our government ask our soldiers to fight, die, bleed, and then just walk away empty handed? Not only empty handed, but our children will have to carry the financial burden of these wars in our national debt. How does that make any sense? To the victor, go the spoils. When I was a young man, I was a soldier and served with men who fought in Vietnam and Korea. I have family members who have served in World War II, Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan. When I was seventeen, I joined the Texas Army National Guard (TANG) for a college bonus program. My original college plan was playing football, but a knee injury and the lack of talent both stood in my way of a scholarship. My mom had to co-sign my enlistment papers, but I was a weekend warrior my last year of high school serving as a combat engineer. When I was eighteen I started a year long Officer Candidate School offered by TANG and graduated a few months after my nineteenth birthday. O-C-2-8-duty-honor-country-state was our motto in my officer training class. While attending college, I also completed several other military courses such as Nuclear, Biological and Chemical School, the Junior Officer Engineering Course and the Junior Officer Maintenance Course. Here is my oath of office: I, Jeff Austin, having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of 2 Lieutenant do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.) In my life, I have
made three serious oaths never realizing the magnitude of those
promises until much later in life. When I was twelve, I made an oath
to God that I believed Jesus is the Christ and was baptized for the forgiveness
of my sins. I did not appreciate His grace until I was in my late
thirties when He called me into the prison ministry. Thank you Jesus!
When I was nineteen I made the oath above when I got my commission as an
Army officer. When I was twenty-five, I made an oath to my wife to
love her until death do us part. God gets all the credit for me keeping
the oath to my wife. It is only by His grace that I am still married
because He changed my heart and my mind. Thank you Jesus!
