Tracts Group 2


bs57 Ye are Gods.
I examine Jesus quoting Psalm 82 in John 10:34, where God Jehovah judges, "the gods". In this tract, I outline what is a false god in the Old Testament, and how they are not truly gods. God Jehovah, the Trinity, is the unique and only God that exists.
But in Psalm 82, God is judging "the gods," which are people who have the power of blessing a people under their control or causing them harm, (as or like a god). The right interpretation of this Psalm is that the "gods" in this Psalm are governors, rulers. God is in every plan and plot of our government, judging and condemning or blessing their every action. God grants men the power to rule and govern, but God will always be intensively judging their actions.

News


An article helps pastors and Christian workers in building a Christian Reference Library to use in producing sermons and classes. I introduce the new Bible student to three free Bible programs, and offer some considerations:
(1) When you have no books on a subject.
(2) When you cannot find information of a Bible subject.
(3) When you cannot discern how much the author discusses the subject.
(4) You are searching for the wrong key word.

Note: on my site, twmodules.com, I offer 2500+ free books for Bible study, and another 500+ books on thewordmodules.com. Also, I offer on https://theword-modules.com/ Bibles for theWord, theword-dictionary-modules.com 140+ dictionaries, concordances, lexicons, etc. for theWord, and on https://www.theword-commentary-modules.com/ I offer some 500+ Bible commentaries for theWord. All of these are free for the downloading, so if you have an Internet connection and some time and space on your hard drive, you can assemble a Christian library of around 3800 works. All free.
