Scripture reading:  Leviticus 24:15, 16, 23

Israel failed to exterminate the Canaanite/jews when they went in the Promised Land. As a result of their failure to obey God, Israel were told not to kill them any longer. They were to let them live, but they were also to continue to not marry any of them or to make any covenants with them—for they were to be a test for them.

If Israel married any of them, they were told that they would serve their gods, not the other way around. That is, if they married them they would not or could not serve the God of the Bible; the God of Israel. The Canaanite could not ever serve our God. What were these people like? How different acting were they from Israel?

The Wake-up Herald

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

Scripture Reading:  Joshua 24:31

In the Answers in Genesis booklet, “How Can I Become a Child of God?” they divided the small booklet into several divisions.  For example, it starts out with the topic Creation, followed by Corruption, Confusion, Christ, Cross and the Consummation and then two pages entitled the same as the booklet.  They make the same basic divisions in their museum.

In the page titled, Confusion, it makes two very big assumptions:
