1 New Testament in a year

There are 261 weekdays in a year, and there are 260 chapters in the New Testament. By reading one chapter, Monday through Friday, you will read the whole New Testament by the end of the year. The Daily Cup series is to help with that goal.

Happy Studying!

Please help!  I believe Jesus is the Son of God, so I believe They are as one; my husband says they are one and the same.  How can that be if God gave His only begotten son to die for our sins?

Sincerely,
Simile Stumped

Dear Simile Stumped,

Both the Father and the Son are one in attitude (Jhn 10:29-30), but They are different beings.  There is one verse that very clearly makes the distinction between Jesus and the Father – Matt 3:16-17.  Matthew three tells the story of Jesus’ baptism, and when Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit descended like a dove, and the Father spoke from heaven… three different beings doing three different things.  The Father and the Son are both God, but they are not the same person.

In the Bible in Isaiah 19:19-20, what exactly is this "altar" or "pillar?" Is it possible that it can be referring to a pyramid?

Sincerely,
Pointedly Asking

Dear Pointedly Asking,

We don’t know for sure what the altar or pillar was, but it may have been an altar set up by a Jewish man named Onias during the days of Ptolemy.  In chapter nineteen, Isaiah prophesies that Egypt will be destroyed (Isa 19:1).  Nobody knows for sure whether this refers to the conquest of Egypt by Piankhi or to the conquest by Esarhaddon.  In either case, when Assyria attacked Egypt, Judah was on the side of Assyria, and God’s people left their mark on that land by building altars to Jehovah in Egyptian territory.  That is the most likely fulfillment of Isa. 19:19-20.

We are thinking of doing the Wisdom books next year (Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Songs, and Job), but we aren't sure how useful everyone would find those videos.
