And in realizing how bad sin is and what it does to us, that Jesus loves us like He does is the real mind-boggling thing, tome. :)Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-44125139798461550732011-12-07T21:57:37.256-05:002011-12-07T21:57:37.256-05:00This is mind boggling stuff.

They recite the same words over and over and when I try to lead them into true, intimate, and honest prayers to God, they are weirded out by it. The devil was quite creative in mixing lies with the gospel, and it takes wisdom to see through his tactics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-55472538845521031702011-12-03T15:49:23.439-05:002011-12-03T15:49:23.439-05:00Good question.

The answer comes from both in the bible and in history.<br /><br />Forerunner Commentary:<br />http://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Topical.show/RTD/cgg/ID/770/Semiramis.htm<br /><br />Grace To You sermons/John MacArthur on Semiramis and Nimrod<br />http://www.gty.org/resources/print/sermons/1848<br />http://www.gty.org/resources/print/sermons/1332<br /><br />Wikipedia<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiramis<br /><br />Lambert Dolphin exposition: <br />http://ldolphin.org/semir.html<br /><br />The Fuel Project historical/biblical explanation<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIOC44sDSXs<br /><br />The real and historical Shammuramat (in Greek, Semiramis), was the Assyrian queen of Shamshi-Adad V (ruled 824 BC–811 BC), King of Assyria and ruler of the Neo Assyrian Empire, and its regent for four years until her son Adad-nirari III came of age<br /><br />She is AKA Ashtoreth (And as I mentioned Semiramis, Isis, and Astarte). Ashtoreth and Ashereh and she is mentioned here 9X<br /><br />http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/?search=ashtoreth&searchtype=all&version1=31&spanbegin=1&spanend=73<br /><br />In Jeremiah 7:18 she is specifically referred to as queen of heaven, and here in Jeremiah 44:17-25.<br /><br />Semiramis promoted herself as queen of heaven, creating a religion that endeared her to the people and thus becoming higher than Nimrod, who she had finished with. In legend, Nimrod became Baal. Baal worship and Mystery Babylon started att he Tower of Babel. Semiramis was the originator of Lent as well as the goddess honored for Easter (Astarte). Jezebel promoted Ashereh poles, elevating Ashereh worship to a level heretofore unseen in Israel. There are many other references to Ashereh and her poles.<br /><br />Exodus, Deuteronomy, Kings, and Judges, the prophets Isaiah (Isaiah 17:8, 27:9), Jeremiah (Jeremiah 17:2), and Micah (Micah 5:14) also condemned worship of Asherah and praised turning from this idolatry to worship Yahweh alone as the true God. <br /><br />False religion has a true start in someone or something, and Baal/Ashtoreth began with Nimrod and Semiramis, the Tower of Babel, the first false organized religion in what later became known as the city of Babylon.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-36765717007080640092011-12-03T15:12:32.197-05:002011-12-03T15:12:32.197-05:00Could you give documentation from the Bible and hi...Could you give documentation from the Bible and historical records that Semiramis was Nimrod's wife?
