Hosea Chapter 4 Discussion

"whoredom" is now glamourised and painted as empowerment or some form of feminism. I used to ask myself why God had so many rules for everything and at some point I thought they were harsh.

but taking a step back and looking around at what's happening to our generation, it makes sense why he has so many rules. out of these rules come out honesty, harmony, peace and most importantly ORDER. Gods order brings to life and when disturbed it destroys everything in its path

take a look around at our world, everything is getting destroyed but as Gods children we'll get through it through Jesus Christ who strengthens us

wow the youngs literal bible pretty much takes it all out ///kjv only people

I also agree on Hosea 4:6. We as a nation, including me, have slowly slipped away into Huluville, Amazon prime, and Netflixville. How sad, to get caught up in what the world does. God will not save our country, if we do not take steps, to get away from the sins of the world. It's like, God asks me, "You want me to save America, but you are not serving me first?" How sad, God, help me to get away from the things of the world, and to have perfect peace in you

Very true indeed. Most of those Christians are either immature, or have been led to believe: 'that now that I've been saved, I have my ticket to Heaven, so behaving as the world does, doesn't matter'. Tragic!!

When I look at the sins and disobedience of Israel. Today, I look around me and sin seems to be everywhere!

Sometimes I see Christians or the "Saved" doing the same things in an ungodly way. They know that they should

not be living like Sinners. These are the Backsliding Heifers mentioned in Hosea 4:16. Thank God for Jesus coming

with grace and forgiveness. We do not have to live under the Law. We can go to God for ourselves and he will

forgive us and heal our Land.

Without the Word of God, we are in darkness, in which we have no guidance, as Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one will see God without Christ, who is returning for the church in the rapture. Coming for a church white as snow, without marks or spots, and only in obedience to God Word, or Commandment, which proceed from the mouth of God, written with His finger and gave them to Moses to deliver to us all either in the Old Testament or New Testament by the Son of God as Christ the teacher of the Word of the Father God, amen.

Without God, there are no rules dictating us, and without rules there is bloodshed. The chapter mentioned how priests were being ineffective representatives of God because of their corruption, priests that were doing their jobs were being ignored by the people they want to help. It's a cycle of selfishness commonly seen today. How do we know when to draw the line between the following of God's commands and fake commands that are supposed to be from God? It gets harder and harder these days to tell apart, if only both leaders and the people became more discerning to their surroundings.

Seems straight to the point which in regards leads me to the fact that throughout history god has shown his kindness, mercy and wisdom and has shared his words with everyone as well as blessed people and because people have pushed god away and hardened their hearts god has given them over to a debated and vulgar mindset that i wouldnt even wish on my enemy that means america is in this conversation because we stand as a christian nation and slowly have turned our back on god then given into gay marriage and so many other things that anyone could see what god is doing to everyone who has forgotten his laws. May god have mercy on america

Holy Father, let America turn from their stocks and embrace You most High God as the day draweth near for the godly to cease in the land! Amen. Proverbs 7:22 He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks Jeremiah 3:9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks. 10:8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities. Hosea 4:12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

america is under gods judgement like israel was we have aborted countless
number of unborn children and sold body parts, we have legalized sodomy
we have the cult of islam wanting to take over america in a subtle way like
satan, we have a leader who is one himself america repent and turn to the real
jesus christ for salvation before it is too late a great falling away is here. 1tim4-1

Israel in the days of hosea sound like Amereica today.The total disrespect for the Ten Commandments is what destroyed them as a nation and a people.And with the invention of the ACLU they have successfuly remove god from the voices in our students mouths to the removal of the Ten Commandments from ours court rooms.This is why god said my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

Yes just as I thought his people knowing him but there hearts are far from him

Lacking of knowledge is a deliberate thing, because God has revealed Himself to man Ignorance has no defence Acts 14:16-17 ' ' Who in bygone generations allowed all Nations to walk in their own ways. Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filing our hearts with food and gladness ' '. Our maker has to all generations shown Himself to man in a language he understands, lacking of knowledge is not a defense.

The scripture may refer to you and me today the same sins commited by the Israelites at that time may be similar to today 's sin when God says my people we are included as the gospel according to John clearly states we are now God 's sons by grace not birth nor bloodline

Thank you so much may GOD bless you at all

Hosea 4 6 Viewing the King James Version. Click to switch to 1611 King James Version of Hosea 4 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. I need to be able to copy and paste WITHOUT the version info. Simply book, chapter, verse and text.

So many peoples are being lead astray by wrongful doctrines of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ We have to Know GOD for ourselves

Solomon said the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom anything out of that is lack of knowledge

I agree! AMEN.

People are IGNORANT in the fact that they want to believe what someone else tells them .. instead of actually pondering/searching out the Scriptures to see IF these things that are being taught are TRUE ... which WE are supposed to do.
Many false prophets are in the {churches} meaning the facilities because the UNlearned people have allowed the world to come in and take over this is WHY committees/board members can throw out a Pastor when he doesn't water down the WORD to meet their needs.

The book of Hosea Chapter 4 is very rich in wisdom. It is too dangerous to be found NO TRUTH, NOR MERCY, NOR KNOWLEDGE OF GOD ( Hosea 4:1), and to be found guilty of GREAT ABOMINATION in HIS sight ( Hosea 4:2), they had to be punished with GREAT SUFFERINGS ( Hosea 4:3). God disregarded them who were once called the beloved Children of Israel, His nation, His people, His Children ( Hosea 4:6), looking at them as HARLOT, WHORE, and ADULTERER ( Hosea 4:13-14), and calling them too as BACKSLIDER ( Hosea 4:16), Causing our Lord Jesus Christ to wept for them, "And when HE was come near, HE beheld the city, and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation ( Luke 19:41-44).

sounds pretty straight to the point it seems to me. a nation that was found under God but has now kicked him out from everythin. what else do we expect? our children are in danger. the only hope for those that love God is to stick by him and keep him first he will not leave us and we'll go down in redemption with him just like he promised the theif on the cross. to die in Christ and live enternal life sounds like a deal to me.

thank God for being God I like.his world,
I like your website

people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge and the enemy(devil) convinced their minds so that they will never understand, but Jesus the lord is the light for them.

The Bible is real! It gets deep. CH 4 vs 13 reminds me of how things were in the past and currently happening now, (speaking in general)- women can get so high mighty and feel as if they have power n living on top of the world, men lusting and feeding them with material needs, where they forget about teaching their kids morals, and the knowledge of the GOD ALMIGHTY. Which now days kids are born as children of *****doms and ends up being *****doms and the men idolizing these women and committing adultery does not make it any better. The book of Hosea is deep.

Knowledge is power. Ignorance is enemy #1. The people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits ( Dan 11:32). but the majority will perish for lack of knowledge because they have refused knowledge-from GOD

The passage in II Chronicles 7:14 If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked way. I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. This is what Hosea is telling the people of Israel, and it is very applicable today. People perish for no truth or mercy, and knowledge of God in the land. God has required of us to love mercy, judgement, and to walk humbly before our God. I pray for a spiritual wake up call, and that people will return to the Lord their God. The land will be blessed, and our homes restored. Let us proclaim a fast, and turn away from our sin by turning to the Lord in repentance. Let it not be said of us, that Ephraim is joined to idols leave him alone. Today is the day of salvation. Therefore seek the Lord while he may be found.

How could the land itself mourn, unless perhaps the land itself as a part of God's creations exists as some lower life form???

The book of Hosea is one of the best, and tomorrow am doing my frist reaching in the church .with this chapter Hosea. Pray for me. I want to give my best. Topic: benefit of knowing him.

People are destroyed because of lack of knowledge..not sin, not the devil but ignorance of God and His words. And most of the times we blame sin and the Satan which was taken care of before the foundation of the world ( Rev 8:13). Thank you Christ King Lord Jesus for your love.
