WHEN SONS GO ASTRAY Clarke says, "a charge of gross insensibility and ingratitude is then brought against the Jews, by contrasting their conduct with that of the ox end ass, the most stupid of animals,..." Isaiah and other prophets had to preach to an obstinate and rebellious people. Isaiah 1:2 shows that sons of God can go astray. Many of the same type would reject the Messiah whose coming Isaiah foretold (Isaiah 53). "He came to His own and those who were His own did not receive Him" (John 1:11). Israel's sin, had made a separation between them and God (Isaiah 59:1,2). Sadly they would reject their only hope of salvation. Paul says the unreceptive Jews were chopped from the olive tree because they did not believe; though they were the natural branches (Romans 11:17,20). Just as obstinate Israel turned from God, so can God's child turn from Him today. Paul warns the Christian of following the same example. "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall" (1 Cor. 10:12, cf 10:1-11). It is too bad when the preaching of God's ministers no longer have an effect. I enjoy hearing our local preacher give a strong message from the Bible. It helps to keep us strong. - Samantha Interestingly, many in the premillentialist camp believe -- through misinterpretation of Romans 11 -- there will be in the future a mass conversion of all Israel to Jesus Christ. The 'all Israel' that will be saved will be saved in the same manner that Gentiles are saved. If they believe, and only those who believe. |

If you review the history of the people of Israel, you see that both corporately and individually, they did go astray. God recorded their history for us so that we might learn not to follow their example. We certainly may go astray. Do you think men have gone astray by ignoring the plain teaching of the following verses? The following are just a few plain verses...[edited] Matt 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, Mark 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. Acts 2:38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:41 So then, those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand souls. Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized; Acts 22:16 'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.' Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. Col 2:12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 1 Pet 3:21 Corresponding to that, baptism now saves you--not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience--through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, |
