ALBERT MOHLER & OTHER COMPROMISED EVANGELICAL LEADERS & ORGANIZATIONS ARE MAKING A MOVE ON K-12 HOMESCHOOLING AND CLASSICAL CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.THIS IS AFTER OVER A DECADE OF PLAYING KEY ROLES IN THE CRT/INTERSECTIONALITY/ SAME SEX ATTRACTED /SSA, SEXUAL ORIENTATION/GENDER IDENTITY /SOGI CRITICAL/GENDER THEORIES FLOOD INTO CHRISTIAN HIGHER EDUCATION AND PULPITS.

MOHLER’S HISTORY WITH BUTTERFIELD FROM 2014 ETHICS AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES COMMISSION (ERLC) CONFERENCE WHICH LAUNCHED THE CRITICAL THEORY CONVERSATIONS ON SOGI/SSA AND “HUMAN SEXUALITY “IN THE CHURCH.

(NOTE: THESE WERE CONVERSATIONS WHICH NEVER NEEDED TO HAPPEN IF THE END GAME WAS SIMPLY TO PROVIDE ACTIVIST VOICES A PLATFORM IN THE CHURCH OR IN ORDER TO ALIGN THE CHURCH AND CHRISTIANS VIEWS WITH THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATIONS IDEOLOGY OF SOGI…WHICH IN FACT THEY DID SEEK TO DO.)

ALBERT MOHLER AND HIS PROTEGE’ RUSSELL MOORE INTRODUCED A HERD OF “Same Sex Attracted” (SSA)/SOGI SPEAKERS IN 2014 WHEN HE ALSO CONFESSED TO “BEING WRONG ABOUT SEXUAL ORIENTATION” THUS BOWING HIS KNEE TO WHAT HE HAD BEFORE NOTED IN 2005 WAS “THE ACTIVIST HERMENEUTIC TO DENY THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD OF GOD”.

Mohler in his role in the 2014 ERLC conference assumes for himself what he confirms to be the activist hermeneutic on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity / SOGI and then introduces a wide variety of “hospitality and inclusion”activist voices including Rosaria Butterfield and the controversial Sam Allberry. Butterfield and others like Allberry, Jackie Hill Perry and Christopher Yuan have remained as the primary allowed and approved voices for the ongoing “forced” and facilitated “conversation” on human sexuality and homosexuality and now transgenderism in the church. This event and the endless conversations it spawned have never included people with fully converted, non- activist testimonies of deliverance by FAITH and the power of the Gospel. Though Butterfield’s testimony comes closer than some of the other approved voices who express their ongoing longing for same-sex relationships, she is not lacking in expressing the virtues of the culture she left behind or placing the burden of “hospitality “welcome and inclusion on the church.

THIS EVENT IS WHEN AND WHERE MOHLER AND MOORE INTRODUCED ROSARIA BUTTERFIELD (WHO IS A WIDELY EXPERIENCED ACADEMIC PRACTITIONER TRAINED IN CRITICAL THEORY) TO THE CHURCH CONVERSATION ON HOMOSEXUALITY AND THE FUTURE OF MARRIAGE.

FOR SOME THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A CURIOUS PICK GIVEN THE LEVEL OF CRITICAL THEORY INFILTRATION IN SEMINARIES LIKE SBTS WHILE MOHLER HAS BEEN PRESIDENT.

“The event will equip attendees to defend marriage in the culture and strengthen marriage in the church. Conference speakers including authors such as Butterfield, AllberRy and Yuan have written about a faithful Christians struggle with same-sex attraction.”

Speakers will seek to answer the following questions:

• How do we effectively minister to those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender?
• How has the divorce culture impacted marriage in our communities and our churches?
• What does sexual faithfulness look like for a same-sex attracted Christian?
• Why did God create marriage and why did he design it for the common good?
• How should a pastor counsel a same-sex couple that wants to join his church?
• How can churches minister to those who are single, dating, divorced or celibate?
• How can Christians show the love of Christ to gay family members or neighbors?

MOHLER AND HIS TRAINED ACTIVIST DISCIPLES HISTORY ON SEXUALITY / LGBTQ / CRT / INTERSECTIONALITY

Most people would assume that Albert Mohler has brought Rosaria Butterfield into the church conversation on homosexuality and the future of marriage in 2014 because of her conversion and former use of and expertise in critical theory/ gender/ feminine and queer theories. YET keep in mind that Mohler trained and employed the founder of Revoice Nate Collins at Mohler’s SBTS. Collins was teaching New Testament at SBTS while writing on the word “Virgin” used in the New Testament as being “proof of a third gender option in the Bible/ New Testament “. Collins papers and academic work are saturated with gender and queer theory. So how does Mohler miss this fact in his own seminary professors academic work and yet choose and promote a voice like Butterfield known for having left her academic pursuits of critical, gender, feminine and queer theories behind …if she has indeed left them behind? Is it Mohler who is confused or his disciples, or his choice of “expert” voices?

Mohler also trained and employed many, if not most of the CRT/Intersectionality practitioners who helped Mohler in the CRT filled 2016 “Removing the Stain of Racism from the SBC” project and the 2017 “purge of racism history” from SBTS. Mohler’s same CRT /CT specialist were on the 2019 Resolutuions Committee who promoted the use of CRT and Intersectionality into the heart of the Southern Baptist Convention. This extreme controversy still looms in the SBC as does the Revoice LGBTQ Thriving in Historic ( Conservative ) Churches. Revoice has even promoted LGBTQ Christianity/ Queer Christian/ treasures of Queer Theory and Queer Culture in the New Jerusalem” and the ERLC has repeatedly promoted Revoice, it’s resources, and the writings of it’s founder, a SBTS former New Testament teacher Nate Collins.

The ERLC event and the ongoing sexual and racial facilitated discussions in the conservative church realm are basically dialectical in nature. They are dialectic processes of social change. If they were not then WHY do they seek to conflict Christian listeners and offer third way options as Gospel answers and responses?

HONEST QUESTION ?

IS ROSARIA BUTTERFIELD THE EXCEPTION FOR ALBERT MOHLER IN THAT HE USES HER BECAUSE SHE IS A FORMER PRACTITIONER IN THESE CRITICAL THEORIES WHILE HE HELPS TRAIN AND EMPLOY A HOST OF OTHER ACTIVISTS WHO CONTINUE THEIR USE AND PROMOTE CRITICAL THEORIES DEEP INSIDE THEIR OWN MOVEMENT?

Thus begs another question … does Rosaria still engage the use of Critical Theories, intersectionality and dialectical process? AGAIN CONSIDER HER OWN WRITINGS AND PRESENTATION. Why in turn would a person who has specialized in Critical/ queer / gender/ feminist theory in her life before CHRIST, not REJECT, SHUN AND/OR REFUSE TO BE ASSOCIATED with any person or group who would be flooding these same ideologies and ” analytical tools of Cultural Marxism into the Church and corrupting the faith of many in Christian education?

HERE IS AN ADDITIONAL,very difficult, BUT NEEDED QUESTION: How is it possible that a saved and thinking person who knows all too well the harm of these deadly ideologies would not be conflicted beyond any ability to work with someone who IS training activist theologians in the same deadly tools? Even a casually informed observer can see the glaring contradiction of Rosaria Butterfield’s ongoing work with Albert Mohler from 2014 to the present.

DOES ROSARIA BUTTERFIELD STILL USE CRITICAL THEORY? IS SHE ENGAGING A DIALECTICAL PROCESS?

See her biography for a disturbing CONSIDERATION.

“Rosaria Butterfield, a former tenured professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University, converted to Christ in 1999 in what she describes as a train wreck. Her memoir The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert chronicles that difficult journey. Rosaria is married to Kent, a Reformed Presbyterian pastor in North Carolina, and is a homeschool mother, author, and speaker.”

(NOTE HER SPECIALTIES)

“Raised and educated in liberal Catholic settings, Rosaria fell in love with the world of words. In her late twenties, allured by feminist philosophy and LGBTQ+ advocacy, she adopted a lesbian identity. Rosaria earned her PhD from Ohio State University, then served in the English department and women’s studies program at Syracuse University from 1992 to 2002. Her primary academic field was critical theory, specializing in queer theory. Her historical focus was 19th-century literature, informed by Freud, Marx, and Darwin. She advised the LGBTQ+ student group, wrote Syracuse University’s policy for same-sex couples, and actively lobbied for LGBTQ+ aims alongside her lesbian partner.”

NOTE THIS STATEMENT IN HOMOSEXUALITY AND HETEROSEXUALITY WHICH ONE DIALECTICAL EXPERT IMMEDIATELY RECONGNIZED AS A DIALECTIAL PROCESS .

“She discourages usage of the term “gay Christian,” and she disputes “conversion therapy,” in part because heterosexual sin is no more sanctified than homosexual sin.”

NOTE THE THESIS – HETEROSEXUALITY & ANTI-THESIS HOMOSEXUALITY = CONSENSUS (PROJECTED) – AS BOTH BEING NORMAL SEXUAL DESIRES – “heterosexual sin is no more sanctified than homosexual sin.” NOTE THE BIBLE AUTHORITATIVELY DECLARES HOMOSEXUALITY TO BE SINFUL AS WELL AS PERVERTED AND UNNATURAL DESIRES LEADING TO THE WRATH OF GOD AND THE GIVING OVER TO DEPRAVITY OF MIND. Rosaria’s narrative is lessening something the Word of God is clearly amplifying.

Romans 1:

²⁷ Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

²⁸ And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; ²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, ^[d]covetousness, ^[e]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,³⁰ backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, ³¹ undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; ³² who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”

ANOTHER QUESTION TO CONSIDER. Is the sense of equalizing heterosexual sin and homosexual sin in keeping with God’s Word or His HOLY assessment of the differences?

IS THIS A CLASSIC DIALECTICAL PROCESS?

If SO, THEN why is Rosaria Butterfield still using it? Why ELSE would Albert Mohler have introduced her along with other activist voices in 2014 ERLC event and continued to platform other CRT/ CT/Intersectionality voices if the end goal was not to do all the above using these voices to bring about social change toward LGBTQ and race in the church? Please also keep in mind that Feminism is ALREADY well inside the SBC and other conservative church movements via the #churchtoo /sex abuse charges. The SBC LEADERSHIP welcomed feminism and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion metrics and reforms in through responding to “leaked email accusations” of THE SAME (rampant sex abuse/cover ups/ and racism) Mohler disciple and ERLC partner Russell Moore.

NOTE: On the issue of “Conversion / Ex Gay Therapy” Butterfield issued a retraction in 2022 on her opposition to it but has aligned with the teachings of a New Apostolic Reformation elder and doctor on the issue, She currently admits that her shift is more based on how such therapy “applies to be detransitioning more than to homosexuality.” Butterfield has now found acceptance in one of the last remaining “Ex gay” counseling oversight and support groups called Restore Hope Network. It is also important to note that another person with Critical Theory and activist training close to Mohler was involved with the largest such “Ex Gay” support group Exodus International when Exodus was collapsed from inside by its own leadership in 2013 under Alan Chambers. That Mohler critical theory trained activist is SBTS graduate, former New Testament teacher and Revoice founder, Nate Collins. So the “Ex Gay” counseling ministries who remain are far from out of the woods on securing their futures and the support of the church as long as the uncertainty created by Albert Mohler affiliated activist being welcomed and active within their own movements.

ROSARIA’S EFFORTS TO DISCIPLE HOMESCHOOL MOTHERS LEAVES SOME SIMILAR QUESTIONS.

A professional development session for homeschool moms.

“INTELLECTUAL HOSPITALITY”
taught by Rosaria Butterfield

ROSARIA’S ONLINE COURSES FOR HOMESCHOOL MOMS ARE ON A SITE CALLED SCHOLE SISTERS . IT IS A “SISTERSHIP” OR SOPHIE SISTERHOOD.

Hi! We’re the Scholé Sisters.

And we are determined to homeschool well. You, too?

“We are passionate about reclaiming and pursuing our own education, and we know that real education happens best in community.”

“We desire to see a grassroots resurgence in the liberal arts, especially dialectic, the lost art of truth-seeking conversation.”

“So we created a not-on-Facebook place for reading, thinking homeschool moms to gather and engage in meaningful, fruitful conversation.”

“We called it Sistership, and we’d love to have you join us.”

SOPHIA AND SOPHIE BOTH HAVE BOTH FEMINIST & LESBIAN OVERTONES- WHY WOULD THESE BE USED ON A CHRISTIAN HOMESCHOOL MOM MENTORING WEBSITE?

“SOPHIA SISTERHOOD” is another group which boast itself as “The Sophia Sisterhood is a safe haven for women on the journey of sexual wellbeing and wholeness.”

“Scholé Sistership Sophie members get access to this event included in their subscription.”

https://www.scholesisters.info/rosaria/

IN THE VIDEO on the promotional page linked above, Rosaria is quick to point out to her homeschool mom “sisterhood” that the Bible must be studied like any other work of literature, with the employment of “literary theory.” This is in spite of what the Word of God says about itself …that it is not like other books. The Bible is “God breathed” and every word is inspired by the Holy Spirit”

WHAT IS LITERARY THEORY AND IS IT BIBLICAL TO USE IT TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE?

“Literary Theory”

“Literary theory” is the body of ideas and methods we use in the practical reading of literature. By literary theory we refer not to the meaning of a work of literature but to the theories that reveal what literature can mean. Literary theory is a description of the underlying principles, one might say the tools, by which we attempt to understand literature. All literary interpretation draws on a basis in theory but can serve as a justification for very different kinds of critical activity. It is literary theory that formulates the relationship between author and work; literary theory develops the significance of race, class, and gender for literary study, both from the standpoint of the biography of the author and an analysis of their thematic presence within texts. Literary theory offers varying approaches for understanding the role of historical context in interpretation as well as the relevance of linguistic and unconscious elements of the text. Literary theorists trace the history and evolution of the different genres—narrative, dramatic, lyric—in addition to the more recent emergence of the novel and the short story, while also investigating the importance of formal elements of literary structure. Lastly, literary theory in recent years has sought to explain the degree to which the text is more the product of a culture than an individual author and in turn how those texts help to create the culture.”

*** NOTE***

FAITH or the role it plays in the heart and mind of the Christian approach to the Word of God is glaringly absent from this literary theory narrative.

THE ACTUAL BIBLICAL STATEMENTS ABOUT THE BIBLE – IN THE BIBLE CONTRADICT THAT IT IS TO BE APPROACHED AS “ANY OTHER BOOK“

2 Timothy 3:16-17

¹⁶ All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

IST PETER 1:

¹⁰ Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, ¹¹ searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. ¹² To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to ^[e]us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into.”

2ND PETER 1

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. ¹⁷ For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” ¹⁸ And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

¹⁹ And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; ²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private ^[j]interpretation, ²¹ for prophecy never came by the will of man, but ^[k]holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”

*** WARNING = this appears to be a clearly FALSE TEACHING –BASED ON WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT ITSELF – IT IS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER BOOK AND DOES NOT NEED THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE FOR ACADEMICS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ***

It is the Holy Spirit who illuminates the Word of God to us otherwise we can be found “wrestling with it to our own destruction” as Peter warns.

No one is saved by, or obtains forgiveness of sin by approaching the Word of God as “any other book” via Literary Theory. The Word of God must be approached with repentance and faith for salvation to be owned by the hearer. Gods wisdom and ways are higher than the heavens are above the earth and His “foolishness” ” is wiser than all the volumes of sidom of men. How can we be so arrogant as to think to subject Gods Word to our ideas of literary analysis?

PLUS –THE WORD OF GOD HAS BECOME FLESH AND IS DISPLAYED BY THE LIFE OF JESUS WHICH ALSO NEEDS NO LITERARY OR CRITICAL THEORIES APPLIED TO SEE HIM FOR WHO HE IS.

JOHN 1

The Eternal Word

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ² He was in the beginning with God. ³ All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. ⁴ In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵ And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

….

The Word Becomes Flesh ¹⁴ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

THE CORE OF ROSARIA’S CONCERN OVER INTERSECTIONALITY IS PROVIDED IN THIS RATHER ODD STATEMENT. IT IS ODD GIVEN THE DANGERS OF IT AS THE GATHERING PLACE OF EVERY OTHER CRITICAL THEORY.

“When Intersectionality joins efforts with the gospel it leaves us with an immature faith, a false hope, and a deceptive vocabulary…”

“Under intersectionality, liberation depends on the power of voice—or re-voice—of material and perceived harm. It works like this: when we allow those with a hefty load of intersections (perhaps a transgender woman of color who is deaf and poor and incarcerated) to have a larger voice in a culture and simultaneously require those who have white male heterosexual “privilege” to remain silent, we supposedly tear down the walls of material violence. Indeed, intersectionality maintains that who you truly are is measured by how many victim statuses you can claim—with your human dignity only accruing through intolerance of all forms of disagreement about your perceptions of self and world.”

“Let’s be clear: unjust violence against all image bearers of a holy God is condemned in the Bible as sin. And God knew that certain groups of people would need greater protection than others—widows, orphans, the poor, the prisoner—and He commands our immediate care of them (Heb. 13:1–3). God warns us against committing the sin of partiality (James 2:6). The most horrific forms of betrayal and sin are those committed within families and churches, when the very people who are called by God to protect the small and weak become their captors and predators. God hates this.”

“The question at hand, however, is this: Can intersectionality serve the gospel? Can we add intersectional teaching to the gospel to arrive at a better way of loving our neighbor? A number of churches and parachurch groups say yes. Intersectionality has found a home in many of our Reformed churches, notably in sensitivity training to make the church a friendlier place for “sexual minorities.”

CAREFULLY FOLLOW ROSARIA’S “INCLUSION NARRATIVE” FOR OPPRESSED PEOPLE INSIDE THE CHURCH IN HER GIVE AND TAKE ON INTERSECTIONALITY.

“God-fearing churches take violence and oppression seriously. A God-fearing church takes church membership, personal accountability, and church discipline seriously, too, because these things are connected. An oppressed person’s best defense against true violence is membership in a Bible-believing church, one that practices both hospitality and church discipline, one that protects the sheep from the wolves by driving the wolves out the door. Intersectionality banks on the power of human words, but justice for the oppressed comes by the power of the gospel.”

IS THIS (HOMESCHOOL MOM) WORKSHOP FOR ME?

“This workshop is for homeschool moms who want more out of their school day than just checking boxes and getting it done.”

“It is for moms who want to learn and grow themselves while they are helping their children learn and grow.”

“It is for women who want to engage their hearts, minds, and actions in the pursuit of wisdom and truth.”

“We hope that’s you.”

“INTELLECTUAL HOSPITALITY” WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHY IS BUTTERFIELD PROMOTING IT?

“INTELLECTUAL HOSPITALITY ” DEFINED: IS IT JUST ANOTHER TOOL OF THE TRADE…

“The idea of hospitality around that table has deep roots in classical literature, where the principle of hospitality, xenia, translates as “guest friendship” from the original Greek. It offers guidelines for how to gather around the table, how to serve as a host, and how to behave as a guest. Immediately upon arrival, a guest received provision, without inquiry as to his or her name or business until the duties of hospitality had been fulfilled. The stranger at the door was welcomed and cared for. In response, the guest showed respect to the host and honored the rules of the household.”… “We usually view hospitality as with an eye to impress. We invite the people we know. We clean house, buy fresh flowers, and cook special meals. Though we enjoy one another’s company, we also present our best face —our gaze is still fixed on the mirror. However, the word “hospitality” comes from the Latin hospes, which means “stranger.” Thomas Ogletree, retired Methodist minister and former dean of Yale Divinity School, suggests that to offer hospitality is to “welcome something new, unfamiliar, and unknown into our life.”

FORMER FULLER PRESIDENT EXPLAINS HIS “CHRISTIAN ” USE OF “INTELLECTUAL HOSPITALITY.”

NOTE: BOTH FULLER AND HIS BIOLA PRESENTATION HERE APPEAR TO BE ENGAGING “INTELLECTUAL HOSPITALITY ” AS A POSITIVE PURSUIT OF TRUTH AND BETTER GOSPEL FAITHFULNESS.

“St. Augustine famously depicted the Christian quest for truth among pagan thinkers in terms of the Israelites taking the Egyptians’ gold and silver with them when they fled from captivity. Others of us have seen the quest for truth possessed by unbelievers as best characterized by a humble exercise in intellectual hospitality. Each approach acknowledges that truth is to be gained from those with whom we disagree in fundamental ways about the important “big” issues of life. But the two outlooks, rescuing what rightly belongs to us versus a hospitable willingness to learn from others, foster the cultivation of very different styles of intellectual engagement. This paper will acknowledge some insights in the rescue approach, while finally coming down on the side of hospitality.”

“Like the mainstream feedback from our culture, the 3×5 card answers would convey a myriad of definitions and opinions. Unfortunately, only a few answers might be based on a Christ-centered and biblical worldview.”

CONCLUSION

Christian education has been the target of infiltration for decades. The advancement of those infiltration efforts has now hit warp speed in part due to the growth of homescxhooling and Christian education since Covid 19 school closings and the glaring rise of CRT/ DE&I and other activist ideologies in public education. Christians wanting to offer true biblically based education and worldview to their children must rely only on the proven basics of education and the bible as the authoritative WORD OF GOD and not on activist nor seminary presidents who train them. Sadly parents nor educators can any longer rely or on long trusted educational organizations as many now display overt signs of having gone WOKE.

Ephesians 6

Children and Parents

6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ² “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: ³ “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”

⁴ And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

Genesis 18:19 New King James Version (NKJV)For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”

Deuteronomy 11:

¹⁸ “Therefore you shall ^[h]lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ¹⁹ You shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. ²⁰ And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, ²¹ that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, like the days of the heavens above the earth.

²² “For if you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him— ²³ then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves. ²⁴ Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the ^[i]Western Sea, shall be your territory. ²⁵ No man shall be able to stand ^[j]against you; the Lord your God will put the dread of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread, just as He has said to you.

²⁶ “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: ²⁷ the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; ²⁸ and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
