9. How did Jeroboam lead his people away from God?

Answers

Answer 1

It began with the Age of the Judges, when Israel was a loose conglomerate of tribes, led by local judges. This led into the 120-year period of the united kingdom, when the 12 tribes were united together under a secession of monarchs (Saul, David, and Solomon). And then the country was split into two separate kingdoms, the southern nation of Judah, led by the Davidic kings, and the northern nation of Israel.

The king responsible for tearing the northern tribes away from the southern tribes was Jeroboam. He, with God’s blessing, successfully led a rebellion against Solomon’s son Rehoboam. However, despite God’s grace in his life, Jeroboam was not a faithful follower of God. Indeed, the Old Testament scriptures make it clear that following his coronation, Jeroboam quickly led the northern tribes into great sin and apostasy.

Jeroboam’s sins are spoken about in no uncertain terms. During Jeroboam’s life, it was prophesied that God would abandon Israel, “because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned and who made Israel sin.” (1 Kings 14:16) Later, when other kings of Israel sinned, it would be said about them that they did “evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.” (1 Kings 15:34, 16:19, 16:26, etc.)

So what was the sin of Jeroboam? What was this great evil that he committed that doomed the northern nation of Israel to destruction, having made it forever unclean in the sight of God? Essentially, Jeroboam changed the worship God had commanded under the Law of Moses.

God had established a certain priesthood of the line of Aaron the Levite (cf. Exodus 28:1). He had established a pattern of worship in a single location, that location being originally the Tabernacle, and then later the Temple at Jerusalem. God had ordained that at the single altar consecrated under the Law, the Israelites should worship and make sacrifices to Him. He had further commanded that the Israelites, in their religion, never try to make a statue, or graven image, of Him; nor that they should ever worship or bow down to the same. (cf. Exodus 20:4-5) It is important to note that this command is distinct from the command not to worship other gods. (cf. Exodus 20:3)

Jeroboam, however, understanding that the Temple of God was in the southern nation of Judah, the nation he had split off of; and being of such little faith as to trust God to work things out for him; he decided that the wise course of action would be to build a new temple. Two actually, one in Bethel, on the border with Judah, and another in the northern city of Dan. (cf. 1 Kings 12:25-28). He went a step further and consecrated new priests, who were not Levites (1 Kings 12:31). He then made up new religious holidays (cf. 1 Kings 12:32-33).

We should note that in all of this, Jeroboam kept a semblance of remaining true to the religious heritage of his people. He continued to call on the name of God. He continued to believe in the exodus out of Egypt, and the nations salvation from slavery (cf. 1 Kings 12:28). There is even evidence that the northern nation continued to observe the sabbath day, and other such ceremonial customs from the Law. (cf. Amos 8:5). But still, in changing a part of God’s law, Jeroboam was held, by God, to be guilty of a great sin. God did not want His people to add to His word, or take away from His word, and He certainly did not want them deliberately breaking His commands to suit themselves (cf. Deuteronomy 5:32).

Christians today are not under the Law of Moses; we are under the Law of Christ (cf. Romans 8:2; Galatians 6:2) but the principle remains — God does not want us changing what He has given us (cf. Revelation 22:18-19; Galatians 1:8-9) We cannot simply add new offices to the church, create councils, holidays, manners of worship and the like. When we take what God has given us in Christ, and change it to suit ourselves, we are, like the kings of old, walking in the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin. Rather we must be true to the Gospel of Christ, without adding to it, or taking away from it. We must learn to speak where the Bible speaks and to be silent where the Bible is silent, lest, like Jeroboam we bring condemnation on ourselves.

Answer:

Why do we need an amendment process?

The Constitution of the United States was ratified in 1789, making it 229 years old, the oldest constitution in the modern world.

As the United States has continued to grow and face unique challenges brought on through modern warfare, alliances, and technology, some critics have argued that the Framers of the Constitution could not have foreseen the changes the United States would experience. What can we do to update the Constitution to address these new issues? Well, the Framers thought of a solution: citizens could add changes to the Constitution.

The Framers added a process for amending, or changing, the Constitution in Article V. Since 1789, the United States has added 27 amendments to the Constitution. An amendment is a change to the Constitution. The first ten amendments to the Constitution became known as the Bill of Rights. These first amendments were designed to protect individual rights and liberties, like the right to free speech and the right to trial by jury.

Article V

Article V describes the process for amending the Constitution. But the Framers intended for the amendment process to be difficult: although the federal government could add amendments, three-fourths of states have to ratify every amendment.

“The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.”

Article V, The United States Constitution, 1787

There are two avenues for amending the Constitution: the congressional proposal method and the convention method. In the congressional proposal method, two-thirds of both chambers of Congress must propose an amendment. The proposed amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of state conventions or state legislatures, as chosen by Congress.

Diagram of each form of proposing and ratifying an amendment.  

Diagram of each form of proposing and ratifying an amendment.

Congress has proposed all 27 amendments to the Constitution of the United States. 26 of these amendments were passed by three-fourths of state legislatures and one amendment was passed by three-fourths of state conventions.

In the state convention method, two-thirds of states ask Congress to organize a convention. The amendment is proposed at this meeting. As in the congressional proposal method, the proposed amendment then must be ratified by three-fourths of state conventions or state legislatures, as chosen by Congress. The state convention method has never been used to introduce an amendment.

Challenges to the amendment process

Between 1789 and 2014, over 11,000 amendments have been proposed; however, only 27 amendments have been ratified. Why is it so hard for proposed amendments to receive support for final ratification? A few roadblocks are standing in the way.

First, every amendment must receive support from three-fourths of state conventions or state legislatures. It’s incredibly difficult to get that many states to agree on a permanent change to the Constitution.

How does this Declaration of Rights represent a new attitude for black Americans of the early 20th century?

Answers

Answer:

The problem for African Americans in the early years of the 20th century was how to respond to a white society that for the most part did not want to treat black people as equals. Three black visionaries offered different solutions to the problem.

Booker T. Washington argued for African Americans to first improve themselves through education, industrial training, and business ownership. Equal rights would naturally come later, he believed. W. E. B. Du Bois agreed that self-improvement was a good idea, but that it should not happen at the expense of giving up immediate full citizenship rights. Another visionary, Marcus Garvey, believed black Americans would never be accepted as equals in the United States. He pushed for them to develop their own separate communities or even emigrate back to Africa.

Booker T. Washington

Booker T. Washington was born a slave in Virginia in 1856. Early on in his life, he developed a thirst for reading and learning. After attending an elementary school for African-American children, Washington walked 500 miles to enroll in Hampton Institute, one of the few black high schools in the South.

Working as a janitor to pay his tuition, Washington soon became the favorite pupil of Hampton's white founder, General Samuel Chapman Armstrong. Armstrong, a former Union officer, had developed a highly structured curriculum, stressing discipline, moral character, and training for practical trades.

Following his graduation from Hampton, for a few years Washington taught elementary school in his hometown. In 1880, General Armstrong invited him to return to teach at Hampton. A year later, Armstrong nominated Washington to head a new school in Tuskegee, Alabama, for the training of black teachers, farmers, and skilled workers.

Washington designed, developed, and guided the Tuskegee Institute. It became a powerhouse of African-American education and political influence in the United States. He used the Hampton Institute, with its emphasis on agricultural and industrial training, as his model.

Washington argued that African Americans must concentrate on educating themselves, learning useful trades, and investing in their own businesses. Hard work, economic progress, and merit, he believed, would prove to whites the value of blacks to the American economy.

Washington believed that his vision for black people would eventually lead to equal political and civil rights. In the meantime, he advised blacks to put aside immediate demands for voting and ending racial segregation.

In his famous address to the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, Washington accepted the reality of racial segregation. He insisted, however, that African Americans be included in the economic progress of the South.

Washington declared to an all-white audience, "In all things social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress." Washington went on to express his confidence that, "No race that has anything to contribute to the markets of the world is long in any degree ostracized [shut out]."

White Americans viewed Washington's vision as the key to racial peace in the nation. With the aid of white philanthropists such as Andrew Carnegie, Washington's Tuskegee Institute and its philosophy of economics first and equal rights later thrived.

Recognized by whites as the spokesman for his people, Washington soon became the most powerful black leader in the United States. He had a say in political appointments and which African-American colleges and charities would get funding from white philanthropists. He controlled a number of newspapers that attacked anyone who questioned his vision.

Washington considered himself a bridge between the races. But other black leaders criticized him for tolerating racial segregation at a time of increasing anti-black violence and discrimination.

Washington did publicly speak out against the evils of segregation, lynching, and discrimination in voting. He also secretly participated in lawsuits involving voter registration tests, exclusion of blacks from juries, and unequal railroad facilities.

By the time Booker T. Washington died in 1915, segregation laws and racial discrimination were firmly established throughout the South and in many other parts of the United States. This persistent racism blocked the advancement of African Americans.

W. E. B. Du Bois

W. E. B. Du Bois was born in Massachusetts in 1868. He attended racially integrated elementary and high schools and went off to Fiske College in Tennessee at age 16 on a scholarship. Du Bois completed his formal education at Harvard with a Ph.D. in history.

Du Bois briefly taught at a college in Ohio before he became the director of a major study on the social conditions of blacks in Philadelphia. He concluded from his research that white discrimination was what kept
