The Holy Bible: The Love Of God

Even when the Israelites forgot where they came from and had the nerve to want to go back, God still loved them and provided. His love is so unconditional and for that I am thankful. "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us".( Ephesians 3:20) (Holy Bible, 2012) This is the love of God.
I think about what caused that trip to take forty years, was the love of God not enough? We know that it was. God 's love corrects and teaches also. He cares that we get it right with him in our heart. Moses was appointed to deliver them out and he allowed them to move him out of obedience just to shut their mouths. Wow! We can all identify with this in our lives, we compromise for peace sake! Not good! What started out as a Promised Land trip did not end that way for all. God had to raise up another.
In this journey we have to remember that God 's love is unconditional but we can forfeit the benefits of his love with murmuring and complaining.

Morgan also talks about how Jefferson wasn’t the only person to push Westward Expansion to what it is today; sure some politicians and others like Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Sam Houston all contributed to the push for Westward Expansion. Jackson’s push to Westward Expansion was on the Trail of Tears. The Trail of Tears was Jackson’s Indian removal policy to push the Cherokee nation east of the Mississippi River to present day Oklahoma. James K.

    Imagine inhabiting a piece of land long enough for you to live and experience the same culture and life as your ancestors. To inhabit a place that you not only admire but that you also worship, just for it to be taken from you out of nowhere by people who look at the land you call home as a way to get money. Tribe explores history along with anthropology and psychological perspectives. Sebastian Junger examines a sufficient number of concepts related to the term “tribe,” from Native American culture and traditions, to experiencing tragedy with your community, and to soldiers who have PTSD. Junger portrays the meaning of tribe throughout the book as loyalty, one’s sense of belonging to something, doing something more significant than oneself, and being given the opportunity find purpose in your community.…

    Native Americans have had an estimated 1.5 billion acres of land taken from them by the United States (The Invasion of America). Nearly every tribe’s land has been greatly reduced by white settlers, whether by forceful removal or sneaky laws and enactments. Losing so much land can be devastating to a nation. The location of a nation can determine the natural resources that can be used, the size and population, and the territorial jurisdiction. Land not only provides economic opportunity, but is also a “hallmark of identity”, a “barometer of community integrity”, and “a repository for […] the remains of ancestors and their artifacts, the cornerstones of worldviews, and moral lessons from the past” (d).…

    Battle over land ownership and the movement of the Native American’s off of their land is part of the American story. As whites moved across America, the Indians were moved to less desirable land. In the two essays that I wrote for this class, Kaw People and Absentee Landowners the interesting connection between both essays is that not only were the Indians moved off the land but settlers and their descendants who wanted the land were priced out of the land in Chase County. Both essays are connected by the simple fact that as land became more valuable only the most powerful or richest could own the land and as a result both the Kaw and people of Chase County have became more dependent on others for support.…

This belief was called “Manifest Destiny”. The benefits of “Manifest Destiny” did not outweigh the negative consequences due to the treatment of the Native Americans, the Mexican American war, and the gold rush.…

    In “The Social Legacy of Andrew Jackson,” guest speaker, Michelle Daneri, stated that “land is really important to native identity and tribal sovereignty,” of course it is, but land being important can be applied to every human being on earth, despite their race because we need a sanctuary. How is it interpreted in another perspective and how is it essential to our wellbeing of livelihood and contribute to power? Does it shape a cultural society through a dominate authority? Such power given to Andrew Jackson was in a form of social impacts in political issues, such as white male voters, Indian removal, and land acquisition. However, such huge “political controversies,” can only be a controversy to those who were not recognized and put aside.…

    After living among the Cherokee in North Georgia as a missionary, I have discovered that the Indian peoples are quite useful. They are all civilized in their own way and know how to work hard for the things that they receive. Their work and harvest skills are impeccable and would be an excellent asset to any community. Although many of the white settlers coming to Georgia wish to dispose of the Indians, it would ultimately be more beneficial for them to stay. The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…

    On May 28, 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. The law authorized Andrew Jackson to negotiate with Indians for their removal to federal land west of the Mississippi River in exchange for their homelands. Andrew Jackson was able to convince the American people that Indians could not coexist peacefully with them. He argued that the Indians were uncivilized and needed to be guarded from their own savage ways. As a result of his actions, thousands of Indians were forcibly ripped from their homes and onto a journey to a unknown territory, that was not as fertile as their home grounds.…

    The story of Israel’s conquest of Canaan can, like many of the other stories of the Hebrew Bible, can be explained as reflections of the religious, political, and societal beliefs of their composers and editors. As a historical piece, the account of Israel’s conquest of Canaan fails to match the current archeological understanding of the Canaanite settlements mentioned in The Book of Joshau. The inaccuracies fail to reflect an accurate historical model, but they suggest that the Book of Joshua is symbolic of its writers. The religious purpose of the story of the conquest of Canaan is to explain the geopolitical and geographical aspects of pre-exilic Israel whilst maintaining their belief that the people of Israel are the chosen people of God. The story highlights and explains several important facets of the Hebrew world at the time of the Book of Joshau’s inclusion in the biblical canon.…
