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

List at least THREE reasons some of the African American representatives were determined to be unable to serve
Hello. Your question is incomplete, which makes it difficult for it to be answered correctly. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
If you are referring to African-Americans who were considered unable to serve at the national congress. This happened due to prejudice, the belief that blacks did not have full political knowledge and the attempt by white politicians not to allow the black population to have political representation, as a way to keep the white population superior and dominant.

INFO ABOUT THOMAS JEFFERSON PLEASE

Thomas Jefferson is remembered for being the primary writer of the Declaration of Independence.

He had previously served as the second vice president of the United States.

What was the significance of the 1918 Bolshevik takeover?
Answer:
90% of people marry there 7th grade love. since u have read this, u will be told good news tonight. if u don't pass this on nine comments your worst week starts now this isn't fake. apparently if u copy and paste this on ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. you will either get kissed or asked out in the next 53 minutes someone will say i love you
Explanation:
Answer:
The significance that you are most likely looking for has to do with World War I. In this case, the Czar and Russia was partaking in World War I, forcing Germany and the Central Power to effectively fight two fronts at the same time. However, with the Bolshevik takeover, the Bolshevik government signed a peace treaty with Germany, which allowed for Germany to concentrate all her forces to the west in an effort to take Paris.
~
Essentially, the significance is the formation of only one-front war, and Germany's last offensive for Paris. They will fail however, and surrender soon after.

Powers of the king. The King, Louis XVI, was absolute. He ruled by the divine right theory which held that he had
received his power to govern from God and was therefore responsible to God alone. He appointed all civil officials and
military officers. He made and enforced the laws. He could declare war and make peace. He levied taxes and spent
the people's money as he saw fit. He controlled the expression of thought by a strict censorship of speech and press.
By means of lettres de cachet (sealed letters which were really blank warrants for arrest) he could arbitrarily imprison
anyone without trial for an indefinite period. He lived in his magnificent palace at Versailles, completely oblivious to
the rising tide of popular discontent. ...
