When the Bible refers to Jehovah being one, it is in regards to a unity called Jehovah consisting of more than one person as I understand it.Jehovah = God of gods and Lord of lords.Jesus is the Lord of lords…for us there is one Lord, Jesus Christ.Rev 17:14They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome…[Read more]

Gene,Bethlehem is about six miles from Jerusalem from what I read on the internet. Also, remember that Jesus was in Jerusalem in the winter for the Feast of the Dedication (Chanukah).John 10:22At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple in the portico of Solomon. Take care,Kathi

Pierre,Wanting to 'get it' is natural but getting something that is supernatural isn't natural. In other words, if we clearly understand something supernatural we have to have supernatural enlightenment. We can't figure this out by determination and earthly wisdom.
