I was struggling with Calvinism because I was following John Piper until I tried to reconcile that God made people that were unsaveable!! I looked at the character of God and I was praying profusely for a revelation. I literally heard in my spirit to read John 3:16 again, and when I read “died for the sins of the WORLD” I broke down and cried because I knew God revealed it to me. He died for EVERYONE, and you only need to receive Jesus to be eternally saved ❤

Genesis 49:28- 50:14(Jacob's death and burial) Genesis 49:28-33 "28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him. 29 The he commandsd them and said to them, " I am to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30 in the cave that is in the field at Machpelah, to the east of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the hittite to posses as a burying place. 31 There they buried Abraham😊❤ and Sarah😊❤ his wife. There they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah- 32 the field and cave that is in it were bought from the Hittites." 33 When Jacob finished commanding his sons, he drew up his feet into the bed and breathed his last and was gathered to his people."( Genesis 49:28-33 ESV Study Bible) In Genesis 48:28 We notice that " Jacob's blessing to his sons emphasizes the contribution that each will make to the "...twelve tribes of Israel❤"( from Genesis 49:28a ESV Study Bible) "While the unity of the 12 is assumed, the tribes of Judah❤and Joseph❤ are clearly distinguished from all the others in terms of their leadership role within the nation. This outcome reflect in large measure how Joseph and Judah are portrayed within ( Genesis ) chapters 37-50. Beyond Genesis, the tribes of Ephraim and Judah are consistently portrayed as taking the lead, with the latter eventually providing the Davidic dynasty."( quoted from ESV Study Bible) Judah's tribe lead me to think about Matthew 1:1-3😊❤ in Christ too in Christ❤.
Mark 6:7-13(Jesus😊1st❤ sends out the twelve (12) apostles) " 17 And he ( Jesus😊1st❤) called the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. 8 He( Jesus😊1st❤) charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff- no bread, no bag, no money in their belts- 9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. 10 And he said to them, " Whenever you enter a house❤ , stay there😊❤ until you depart from there. 11 And if any place will not receive you( 😊❤'s) and they will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust on your feet as a testimony against them." 12 So they( Jesus' twelve apostles😊❤'s) went out and proclaimed😊❤ that people should repent( " Repent" to me it means turn away from sins ( " sins" means wrong- doings that are against the Bible or against God's words in Christ to me is called sins ) and then turn (back) to God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven or the God of the Bible in Christ😊❤ that means repent)). 13 And they cast out 😊❤ many demons and annointed😊❤ with oil ❤ many who are sick and healed❤ them( 😊❤'s). "( Mark 6:7-13 ESV Study Bible. All parethesis parts and symbols in Christ meant for and in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤) too in Christ❤. Lately i have observed that some other belief with name tags two by two they are not in Christ. I preached ❤ back to them for they mislead others so i defense Jesus' gospel by quoting John 14:6😊❤ to them near Mahattan or Chinatown areas. John 14:6❤😊 " 6 Jesus answered, " I am the way ❤😊 and the truth ❤😊 and the life😊❤. No one comes to the Father( God 😊100%❤ , our Father in heaven ) except through me."( John 14:6😊❤ Zondervan NIV Study Bible.Amen.). Amen.
Mark 6:14-29( The death of John the Baptist) "14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus(😊1st❤) name had become known. Some said, John the Baptist 😊❤ has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him( Jesus😊1st❤)." 15 But others said, "He is Elijah❤." And others said, " He is a prophet, like one if the prophets of old." 16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, " John, whom I beheaded, has been raised." 17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he married her. 18 For John😊❤ had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." 19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not, 20 for Herod fear John😊❤, knowing that he( John😊❤ the Baptist😊❤) was a righteous😊❤ and holy😊❤ man😊❤, and he keep him( John😊❤) safe. When he heard him( John😊❤ the Baptist😊❤), he( Herod) was greatly perplexed, and yet he hear him( John😊❤ the Baptist 😊❤) gladly. 21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22 For when Herodias' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, " Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you." 23 And he vowed to her, " Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom." 25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, " I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter." 26 And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oath( remembering brothers and sisters in Christ , no oath or no watching a woman dance in inapproxiate way okay. Thank you in Christ) and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. He went and beheaded him in the prison 28 and bought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.( lesson learn for girl , do not listen to your bad mother. ) 29 When his( John's disciples) disciples heard of it, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb."( Mark 6:14-29 ESV Study Bible) Lesson learned in Christ. First, do not make vow or oath that you cannot keep in Christ. Second for girl. Do not make dirty dance to tempted good people. Third, for the guys in Christ. Do not watch dirty dance from a woman. Lust is like a sword in one's head. I think it's old saying i heard from others. Fourth, for the girls listen to your parents in Christ. Do not listen to your parents who are evil or who do bad things to other like bird of the air. Fifth if you are righteous😊❤ before God😊100%❤ and before Jesus😊1st ❤ our Lord and our savior stay that way until Jesus comes one day at God's timing😊❤ in Christ. Do not give in to peer pressure . Thank you.😊❤. Herod shouldn't have watch the dance, and made a vow he regret later and he gave in to peer pressure. He should have walk with God 😊100%❤ in Christ by following Jesus😊1st❤ as John the Baptist 😊❤ was humble😊❤and Jesus' later disciples also follow Jesus😊1st❤ when faithful John 😊❤the Baptist 😊❤ the forerunner the Way( Jesus😊1st❤) had died. In Jesus'name, i pray( Follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤, John 14:6( Jesus😊1st❤ is the way😊1st❤ , the truth😊1st❤, and the life😊1st❤ to God😊100%❤, our Father in heaven) and as Father's Day approaching hope fathers in Christ with child or children will honor God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven like John the Baptist 😊❤ "...was a righteous😊❤ and holy😊❤ man😊❤ and he( Herod) kept him( John😊❤ the Baptist😊❤ ) safe. ..."( from Mark 6: 20 in the middle of the verse. Herod should stick with that but he fail what was mentioned above shared. But Jesus the Son of God( John 3:16😊❤)and is John 1:1-2😊❤ too and Isaiah 9:6😊❤ and Luke 2:11😊❤ didn't fail us in Christ for Jesus😊1st❤ wins( Matthew 4:4😊❤; Matthew 4:7😊❤; Matthew 4:10😊❤; Luke 4:4😊❤; Luke 4:8😊❤; Luke 4:12😊❤ and Revelation 19:16😊❤ Jesus my King of kings and my Lord of lords win from Revelation 19:16😊❤.

"28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel. This is what their father said to them as he blessed them, blessing each with the blessing suitable to him.
29 The he commandsd them and said to them, " I am to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

33 When Jacob finished commanding his sons, he drew up his feet into the bed and breathed his last and was gathered to his people."( Genesis 49:28-33 ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 48:28
We notice that " Jacob's blessing to his sons emphasizes the contribution that each will make to the "...twelve tribes of Israel❤"( from Genesis 49:28a ESV Study Bible)
"While the unity of the 12 is assumed, the tribes of Judah❤and Joseph❤ are clearly distinguished from all the others in terms of their leadership role within the nation.

called the twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits.
8 He( Jesus😊1st❤) charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff- no bread, no bag, no money in their belts-
9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics.
10 And he said to them, " Whenever you enter a house❤
, stay there😊❤ until you depart from there.
11 And
if any place
will not
receive you( 😊❤'s) and they
will not listen to you, when you leave, shake off the dust on your feet as a testimony against them."
12 So they( Jesus' twelve apostles😊❤'s)
went out and
proclaimed😊❤
that people should repent( " Repent" to me it means turn away from sins ( " sins" means wrong- doings that are against the Bible or against God's words in Christ to me is called sins ) and then turn (back) to God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven or the God of the Bible in Christ😊❤ that means repent)).
13 And they cast out 😊❤
many demons and
annointed😊❤ with oil ❤
many who are sick and healed❤ them( 😊❤'s). "( Mark 6:7-13 ESV Study Bible. All parethesis parts and symbols in Christ meant for and in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤) too in Christ❤.
Lately i have observed that some other belief with name tags two by two they are not in Christ. I preached ❤ back to them for they mislead others so i defense Jesus' gospel by quoting John 14:6😊❤ to them near Mahattan or Chinatown areas.
John 14:6❤😊
" 6 Jesus answered,
" I am
the way ❤😊
and
the truth ❤😊
and
the life😊❤.
No one
comes
to the Father( God
😊100%❤
, our Father in heaven )
except
through me."( John 14:6😊❤ Zondervan NIV Study Bible.Amen.). Amen.
Mark 6:14-29( The death of John the Baptist)
"14 King Herod heard of it, for Jesus(😊1st❤) name had become known. Some said, John the Baptist 😊❤ has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him( Jesus😊1st❤)."
15 But others said, "He is Elijah❤." And others said, " He is a prophet, like one if the prophets of old."
16 But when Herod heard of it, he said, " John, whom I beheaded, has been raised."
17 For it was Herod who had sent and seized John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, because he married her.
18 For John😊❤ had been saying to Herod,
"It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
19 And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death. But she could not,
20 for Herod fear John😊❤, knowing that he( John😊❤ the Baptist😊❤)
was a righteous😊❤ and holy😊❤
man😊❤, and he keep him( John😊❤) safe. When he heard him( John😊❤ the Baptist😊❤), he( Herod) was greatly perplexed, and yet he hear him( John😊❤ the Baptist 😊❤) gladly.
21 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee.
22 For when Herodias' daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl,
" Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you."
23 And he vowed to her,
" Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."
25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, " I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
26 And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oath( remembering brothers and sisters in Christ , no oath or no watching a woman dance in inapproxiate way okay. Thank you in Christ) and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. He went and beheaded him in the prison
28 and bought his head on a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.( lesson learn for girl , do not listen to your bad mother. )
29
When his( John's disciples)
disciples heard of it,
they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb."( Mark 6:14-29 ESV Study Bible)
Lesson learned in Christ.
First, do not make vow or oath that you cannot keep in Christ.
Second for girl. Do not make dirty dance to tempted good people.
Third, for the guys in Christ. Do not watch dirty dance from a woman. Lust is like a sword in one's head. I think it's old saying i heard from others.
Fourth, for the girls listen to your parents in Christ. Do not listen to your parents who are evil or who do bad things to other like bird of the air.
Fifth if you are righteous😊❤ before God😊100%❤ and before Jesus😊1st ❤ our Lord and our savior stay that way until Jesus comes one day at God's timing😊❤ in Christ. Do not give in to peer pressure . Thank you.😊❤.
Herod shouldn't have watch the dance, and made a vow he regret later and he gave in to peer pressure.
He should have walk with God 😊100%❤ in Christ by following Jesus😊1st❤ as John the Baptist 😊❤ was humble😊❤and Jesus' later disciples also follow Jesus😊1st❤ when faithful John 😊❤the Baptist 😊❤ the forerunner the Way( Jesus😊1st❤) had died. In Jesus'name, i pray( Follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤, John 14:6( Jesus😊1st❤ is the way😊1st❤
, the truth😊1st❤, and the life😊1st❤ to God😊100%❤, our Father in heaven) and as Father's Day approaching hope fathers in Christ with child or children will honor God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven like John the Baptist 😊❤ "...was a righteous😊❤ and holy😊❤ man😊❤ and he( Herod) kept him( John😊❤ the Baptist😊❤ ) safe. ..."( from Mark 6: 20 in the middle of the verse. Herod should stick with that but he fail what was mentioned above shared. But Jesus the Son of God( John 3:16😊❤)and is John 1:1-2😊❤ too and Isaiah 9:6😊❤ and Luke 2:11😊❤ didn't fail us in Christ for Jesus😊1st❤ wins( Matthew 4:4😊❤; Matthew 4:7😊❤; Matthew 4:10😊❤; Luke 4:4😊❤; Luke 4:8😊❤; Luke 4:12😊❤ and Revelation 19:16😊❤ Jesus my King of kings and my Lord of lords win from Revelation 19:16😊❤.
