1 | Theological Question | Not Specified | Monica57 | 104061 | ||
Does anyone know why the Old Testament says that if we love God and obey his commandments we will be blessed and in the New Testament it says that if we love God/Jesus and obey his commandments we will be persecuted? I'm not asking this question because I'm persected. I'm asking a theological question. I would like a theological answer. Thanks! |

3 | Satan caste to earth... | Not Specified | Monica57 | 103991 | ||
In the OT, if we love God and obey his commandments, we are blessed. In the NT, if we love God, and obey his commandments, we will be persecuted. I believe the difference lies in Luke 10:18 and Revelation 12:13 whereby Satan has been cast to earth. My thoughts are that this happened directly before, after or during Jesus's ministry on earth. Any ideas? | ||||||

5 | Luke 10:18 | Not Specified | Monica57 | 103981 | ||
Luke 10:18, Does anyone know what this means? I've noticed the Old Testament is slightly different in that good behavior (following the Lord) is rewarded and bad behavior is punished (idolatry, etc). In the NT however, Jesus says that we will find persecution if we follow him, and certainly the examples of the apostles show this is true. I'm wondering if Satan falling to earth happened around the time of Jesus, and hence the change in logic. What do you think? | ||||||

Thank you Makarios, that helps a lot. It looks like they were Calvinists. JUST KIDDING! | ||||||
8 | Snatch? | Hebrews | Monica57 | 99818 | ||
Thanks Radioman, I think you've hit the nail on the head! I'm actually quite happy to see that most people do believe the same way (from most of the commnets). Thanks, Monica57 | ||||||

11 | Snatch? | Hebrews | Monica57 | 99798 | ||
Charis, I think this is an important issue because many people who are not Christians look at Christians who sin terribly, and wonder how something like that could happen if indeed Christianity was a powerful religion. The Spanish Inquisition is a good example. If the religious authorities accepted Jesus, how could they do such things? Also, I've had personal experience with people who profess to have accepted Jesus, but behave blatantly evil. After searching the scriptures, I believe OSAS is a false doctrine, which is explained in 2 Tim 4:3 and James 2:19. And most unfortunately, they are believing something which is false. Luckily, I believe most accept Jesus and DO obey his commandments (John 14:15). | ||||||
12 | I agree with you 100 percent. But... | Hebrews | Monica57 | 99795 | ||
ig8ball, I think you're right on this whole issue. I don't know why people would think they can be saved, continue to sin defiantly, and then go to Heaven. Jesus said there was only one unforgiveable sin, and Numbers 15:30 clearly defines that sin (blasphemey) as continuing defiantly in sin. Jesus also said "if you love me, you will obey my commandments." It's not only supported by the Bible, but also logical. Jesus took all our sins upon himself. Everytime we continue defiantly in sin we are saying we don't care how much we hurt him. That would prove we don't love him. |
