blessings

[guy23]

I dont believe we should bless God because if you read Hebrews 7 where Melchizedek blesses Abraham the writer states that the greater blesses the lesser so we as the lesser cant bless God the Greatest.

plus the writer timothy written this to the hebrews from italy at a much latter date then the other parts of the bible . as far as i can see revelation 22.19 was broken ? that is why it is adressed to the hebrews . and not named hebrews . if it were written at earler date would it not say writen from timothy from rome not italy ?

We sing the song..

Blesseth be the Lord God almighty
Who was and is and is to come
Blessed be the Lord God Almighty
Who reigns forever more

God is already blessed... he's all knowing, all powerful he is Almighty God.
There's no one like him, his name is above all names, moutains bow down at the thought of him. He created you and me...how awesome is that.
