According to Deuteronomy 27:15-26, these are God's special enemies: idolaters, parent-haters, land thieves, oppressors of the weak, robbers, deceivers, sexually perverse, and those who reject #torah.
None of those describe you, do they?
The mountains Gerizim and Ebal are two witnesses of the sin or obedience of Israel. Remember what Yeshua said: "If men won't speak, the very stones will cry out."
Why was the altar in Deuteronomy 27 built on Mt Ebal (the curses) instead of Mt Gerizim (the blessings)? (It might not be why you think.) Is the Law of God a curse? Then why did David use so much ink expressing his love for it?

THIS is a fun topic. It is one that I brought up our last Bible study because someone had a question in regards to a particular passage on the Torah Portion. It had the word "abomination" in it, and their question was about if the abomination was just the verse that it was listed with, or the whole section before it. When in doubt, look into the Hebrew! This is why I was bringing up Chiastic Structure. It is all over the Bible and it shows how things related and helps group things properly if there is a question like we had during Bible Study.
In this comic I give the example of Joshua 1:5-9, which also helps illustrate a few comics on this same section of Scripture that I have made. The central point/theme of being strong and courageous is keeping the Law. But, it isn't just in Joshua. Or even just in the Hebrew Old Testament. You can find this structure throughout the New Testament as well, such as the book of Revelation. Which helps show a couple of things. 1) That the writers still had heavy Hebrew influence, even though the texts we have are Greek. 2) It is very possible the original texts were in Hebrew and the Greek copies we have are just the translations of those Hebrew texts.
But what the original language of the NT was isn't the point here. Just that Chiastic Structure is super cool. It is something that gets me excited and something I think may get you excited as well. So, go do some research on it and see what you find!
