1 Kings 15:2 (KJV)
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings 15:10 (KJV)
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
I remember our algebra teacher, I think his name was Mr. Wickman, saying to students, “You’re making this harder than it is.” I think some people do the same with the Bible.
After the death of Rehoboam his son, Abijam, reigned three years. The Bible says Abijam’s mother was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. When Abijam died his son, Asa, took the throne. The Bible says his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom. The obvious understanding is that Maachah was Asa’s grandmother. It’s not that hard.
But I know some people who make the Bible harder than it is. They get stuck on something and refuse to be instructed further. They see a contradiction here, so they see it as a mistake in the Bible. Others get stuck on a particular passage and, refusing to align it with the whole of the Bible, create cultish false doctrines.
- Some destroy their marriages
- Some provoke their children to wrath
They refuse sound instruction and turn what God meant to be a blessing into a curse for themselves, for churches, for their families and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
