(1)"why people do bad things",.
(2)"Why people get sick and eventually die",.
(3)"Why god has permitted wickedness for so long",.
(4) "wether there Is any hope for the future" ,....with any acceptable satisfaction,...
these are questions every human being is looking for answers to
wonders if there are any thoughts from anyone to the questions above,... for Myself,...... only the bible is able to give satisfactory answers to such questions

the books of Chronicles gives a genealogical list of names,. valuable.because they support the authenticity of the Bible. proof that God wants those who worship him to worship with spirit and TRUTH, not as a fictitious or imaginary god

with this information one can check for more details to verify what was said, referring to other parts of the Bible or secular historical works. If the Bible were fiction or written by impostors it would certainly avoid such details.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- these details in the Bible harmonize with other accounts and help to make the Bible one united whole. It is an honest presentation of actual historical facts.

keep in mind that the Hebrew Scriptures were the constitution, the law and the record book of the Hebrew people. They formed the chief archive of the nation. Many of the genealogical lists were compiled from other written legal records, since the cities kept a register of those born in the locality. They are a part of real history

HELPS TO IDENTIFY THE MESSIAH , they help us to identify the Messiah. . Among many proofs of Jesus’ Messiahship, the genealogical records of the Jews, kept in their own city registers, testified that he was of the right line of descent—from King David of the tribe of Judah. The truth of the bible is upheld by these genealogies

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other benefits of the Bible’s genealogical record are probably of less importance, but nonetheless valuable. In some parts of the Bible, they are essential for establishing the length of chronological periods. For example, in Genesis chapters 5 and 7:6, 11, the time from Adam’s creation to the Flood is shown to be 1,656 years. Then, in chapter 11 the 427-year time period from the Flood to the Abrahamic covenant is accounted for.—Gen. 12:4.

Without these records it would be impossible to calculate how long humankind has been on the earth. The length of the time period is not revealed in the case of the animal creation, or in the preceding creative epochs. Although Bible scholars cannot be definite about the time that elapsed before man appeared on the scene, they can determine very accurately the period of God’s dealings with mankind .

,..Hi Ivyplus so sorry it took so long to get back to you just saw this this morning,.....are you enjoying ur day so far?? I do hope so ,..........Only to the nation of Israel, , did God give his Ten Commandments, together with hundreds of other related laws. He didn’t give the ten commandments to Adam and Eve, nor to Abraham or Noah, and Yet these ones did receive specific commands as to what God required of them, and in each case his will for them was different.,…the ten commandments had a temporary purpose,..among other things,..it kept the nation of Israel apart from pagan nations round about so that the son of god (Jesus christ ) could come thru that nation and take his place as the messiah ,…the one thru whom all mankind could put faith in as their saviour ,…so Ivy therein lies the way to salvation,.... it has to be thru Jesus Christ and not the ten commandments,..... the bible is unique because it has 4 special books wrapped up inside it,... those books tell us all about Jesus Christ from 4 different points of view, Mark ,.Mathew,. Luke ,.and John ...very interesting and it does us well to study them so we are able to make an educated choice about how and what it means to be a christian ,...hope this helps ,..see ya laterssss love to you for your day today,.....

the bible simply states "The God that made the world and all the things in it, being, as this One is, Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in handmade temples, neither is he attended to by human hands as if he needed anything, because he himself gives to all persons life and breath and all things. And he made out of one man every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed seasons and the set limits of the dwelling of men, for them to seek God, . . . although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us. For by him we have life and move and exist, even as certain ones of the poets among you have said, ‘For we are also his progeny.’”,.......Simply put but alas indeed too simple to be believed,....

i am pleased you thought so i find it is easier to help others if you can than cause only harm as you go unfortunately some do not realise the harm they do to others i find that these people tend to gather together and end up harming each other so leaving the good guys to carry on with the cause and have better lives as such

Often I turn off the TV just because I don't need to look at unfortunate things happening to others.
