After analyzing the text closely, critical scholars have realized that, the interpretation of this story is inaccurate.

important stuff was getting candy, and playing. I also think about the gospel values in helping people. Like Jesus Christ when helping people through miracles in readings of Luke. In the readings of Luke, Jesus let the blind see again (Luke 18: 35-43), being equal to women (Luke 10: 38-42), and seeing children in a different way (Luke 18: 15-17).

Personally I really enjoyed Jeremy’s message and I believe he did an excellent job of connecting the points made in the book of Joshua to our day and age. He started his talk by sharing a story from his life where things were a little unexpected and this began to lead him into connecting the need to recognize that we serve a God who does things unexpectedly. Then he went into the story of how Joshua had to step into some pretty huge shoes and to fill those he had to trust God. Joshua was Moses’s…
