Why was Jacobs blessing for his son Dan, not so nice?

Jacob was a real person with real children and these were real blessings. This is the generation of the children of Israel; the Jews.\n\nDans blessing found in Gen 49: 16-18\n\n    16 Dan will provide justice for his people \n       as one of the tribes of Israel. \n\n    17 Dan will be a serpent by the roadside, \n       a viper along the path, \n       that bites the horse's heels \n       so that its rider tumbles backward. \n\n    18 "I look for your deliverance, O LORD\n\nLook at Judges 18:27\n\n The treachery & Idol worship was foreseen. This was the serpent spirit. \n\nLesson:-\n\nWe may all be exposed to the same gospel of Jesus Christ but some may opt to take the broad road and all it leads to is destruction. May God help us.

Mav needs to first take speech lessons.  Maybe they feel the have to live up to being a good Christian and boasting about their good deeds makes them feel better.  They are insecure.

sure no problem \n\nthough I do not think that he can lead the Seder by reciting the blessings for others as one needs to be obligated in the Commandment to fulfill others.

he is a great man of god and that is why he is having a hard time and is having to put  up with all the democrat dummy's. Satan does not like him as president and the democrats are Satan's little demons.

NOPE HE IS NOT THE SON OF MAN.. JESUS WAS JUST A JEWISH GUY THAT RAN AROUND DOING TORAH TEACHINGS AND WAS GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD.

Jews were expecting a King, a man of great wealth to come.  When Jesus came, born as a poor human carpenter son, they didn't except him as the messiah.  Jews today are still waiting for the Messiah to come.  Thats whats taught to them. It was hard for them in the old testament to believe in something they couldn't see or touch.  That is why God sent his son down.  Jesus is God in human form.  There is only on God, just in three seperate forms.  God, Jesus and the Holy spirit.

He was the father of the Isrealite nation. His son Isaac was born when both he and his wife were way too old to have kids, and she was physically unable to have children. Yet he always had faith that God would keep His promise.

My parents were negative influences.  They fought all the time and my dad would beat my mother up.   (later in life, I stopped him with a knife to his hand)  My mom's idea of retaliation was to cheat on him with several other men.  I was brought up in an angry home, and I was an angry person for many years.  The positive influence in my life is Jesus.  I'm still not the way I'd like to be, but my belief in him keeps me pretty much in line.

because we are nation walking father and father from Jesus.to me growing up could swear with the best of them, even to my parents. but one day invited Jesus into my life and with in 3 months was not swearing. this was not a conscience decision. could not believe that this happened to me was astonished. then years later read Isaiah chapter 6 which described me change blew my mind. (still does) that Christ cleaned my speech by just a single touch of Him.

My sister, all fall short of the golry of God, you, me and everyone else! King David new the Commandments yet still he let his fleshly desires send his friend to be killed so David could have his friends wife! And David was called by God "A man after God's own heart.". Jesus miracle on the cross has covered you from these things, and you are right to grieve and be sorry because God loves the penitent(or humble) person! You've done wrong yet so did all the Apostles at one time or another so take heart my sister, for God hasn't abandoned you! I will pray for you and hope that you will do the same for me, and God bless you and have faith!

As much as I like GB, I don't think Jeb would be a good candidate.  He seems to be a little unhappy and petty about being in dad and brother's shadow.  I don't think the White House is the appropriate place to try and get back at your family....  In other words, I think if he were pres. it would be a "nah nah nah nah nana" raspberry to his family, not a true attempt to make the country better.

Nope.  He wasn't the first person to bill himself as the messiah, nor was he the last.  he mixed political stances with rippped of teachings from the Torah and Rabbis of the time.  He did not teach anything new or exceptional, but merely sought popularism through taking stances that would appeal to the masses.

I don't see it that way, really. I see in the Tanakh both sides of Moses, David and Abraham. But also squeeky clean Daniel, Ruth, Esther and others.\n\nIn the New Testament, I see both sides of Peter, Paul, the sons of Zebedee, Thomas and others. However, something new had been added--the Holy Spirit now indwelling the individual. That changed the dynamic completely. But that stull did not stop some of the foibles. As you could see with Peter, he question God concerning taking the gospel to the gentiles (a parallel to Johah) as well as being rebuked by Paul for jumping away from the gentiles when the Jews arrived.\nSo really, I see an even hand in both--the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer may be why you are seeing more of the positive side.

The tv show "Book of Daniel" had nothing to do with the Biblical character. It was based on fictional characters which are immoral and gross. Totally against the values the Bible advocates.

He said He was "about His Father's business." That'd be His Heavenly Father, aka God, so yes, he was honoring His parents. If you don't want answers from the Bible, you shouldn't ask questions about Jesus.

Jonathan and David in the Bible were best friends.
