1 | How does God judge and who? | Obad 1:16 | BobJones | 211043 | ||
It is inferred from the following: He created us in His image and it was very good: Gen 1.27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 31 ¶ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. He didn't require us to fall: Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: And He said He always gives us a way out: 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. He has commanded us to be perfect: Ge 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. De 18:13 Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. 1Ki 8:61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. Mt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 2Co 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. And he has given us the means: 2 Tim 3.16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Nobody but Christ has done it. But we should not take comfort in numbers, but instead be encouraging one another to Holiness. Thanks for asking. |

Hi BOB, and JOHN:: It seems there is an answer to both of your positions. Bob you say: When he was tempted in every way that we are, he could not use one ounce of his deity to resist it or he would have an advantage over us in facing temptation. So his perfect life puts us to shame since we should have been able to resist as well. answer: Your infference, is mixed with apples, and oranges You use scripture that was to a person (Abram) before there was LAW, and then to a people under the law "were not". The Holy Spirit is the Unifying factor, between Jesus, and us. Giving to (both) from the POWER of God himself, the ability to overcome temptation, because we are in Jesus, Matt. 3:16 16) And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Act 1:8 8) But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” John you say: Hi Bob, can you show us please just where in scripture is says that "we should have been able to resist" temptation, as you say? answer: We as unsaved (unregenerated) human beings, have no power in our lives to resist anything! So what you said to Bob is correct as far as that goes. Although there is scripture for us who "Do" believe. Gal. 5:16 16) This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. In Love Nevvvvine |
