2 Chronicles 1-8 Return of the Son of David

2 Chronicles 1-8

We revisit the adventures of Solomon.

Chronicles isn't turning out as heinous as I feared.  It's rather boring and lame that the people that assembled the Bible in it's currant form didn't do a better job of excising the repetitive stories.


7:2 states "And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house."


Was God gassy?

Poll Results - Is It OK to be Takei?

35 people said YES, it's OK to be Takei (%94)
1 person said it was not OK to be Takei (%2)
1 person didn't know who George Takei is (%2)

Why doesn't that add up to %100?  ;-)

Pretty much what I expected but I was a little surprised that only one didn't know about George. I expected at least a half dozen more votes.

The new poll asks how you view the Bible.
Do you believe it's the true, inspired word of God?  A religious document used to show God's greatness but not necessarily all true stories?   An historical document of the Jewish people and proto-christians?  Or, just a collection of stories used to promote an agenda?

1 Chronicles 21-29 Big Push Thru the Mud

1 Chronicles 21-29

I know it's asking a lot , but we've read most of this stuff before.

One of the few things I've noticed, and was pointed out earlier by Abbie, was how sanitized much of the history seems.  For example, it only states that Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children.  Many of the slights against God are conspicuously absent.


Any way we'll start the Second Book of Chronicles on Tuesday.

1 Chronicles 14-20

1 Chronicles 14-20

More great tales of David with some begats thrown in for padding.

This line gets harder and harder for me to believe the more I read;
16:34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.


Hope everyone has a fun and safe Memorial day weekend!

1 Chronicles 8-13 Glory Days Revisited

1 Chronicles 8-13

We get to relive the glory days of David.  Until Uzza tries to be helpful.

I actually like this condensed version of King David.  It's taken all the filler out (although some of the filler was very interesting).
Do you think it's better then the Book of Kings version?

1 Chronicles 1-7 the Sister of Huppim and Shuppim

The first seven chapters of Chronicles is just begats.  Not that painful to get through.
Nothing new or interesting to report.  


Huppim and Shuppim (from 7:15) is going to be the name of my porn music cover band!


That is all.
