1 | 1 cor 10:5-6 what kind of warning | 1 Cor 10:5 | New Creature | 48605 | ||
The Bible is full of warnings to believers. 1 Cor 10 is just one example of warning. The text says: 1Cor. 10:6 Now these things were our examples, "our" in this text means believers. We are to observe what happened to the Israelites who came out of Egypt and wandered in the wilderness. God was testing them to see whether or not their faith was sincere, and whether or not they would become obedient to God. Their disobedience became their ruin. They lusted and provoked God to anger. They committed fornication The text also says again: 1 Cor. 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. we are to read in the Old Testament account of the Exodus and the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness and how only two people (a small remnant) of the hundreds of thousands who left Egypt ever entered the promise land. Those two were Joshua and Caleb. Today God still has a remnant of faithful sincere obedient followers What was written in 1 Cor. 10 is written so we don't make the same mistakes those who fell in the wilderness made Yes 1 Cor. 10 is a warning for believers |

2 | who is being warned | 1 Cor 10:5 | sandre25 | 48615 | ||
i can understand the warning to avoid sin. my problem arises when it is now talking to people who have been saved... and thus have eternal life. what is it warning against? or is it saying this to those who "think" they are saved but have not truly committed to Christ? | ||||||
3 | who is being warned | 1 Cor 10:5 | Timothy Paul | 48620 | ||
Hello Sandre25, to try and answer your query I turned to Psalm 105:38-45. After the Lord delivered His people out of slavery from Egypt, they were, I'd say "saved" yet they continued to "harden their hearts" aganst the will of God, as in Heb. 3:15, "As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."[see Psa.95:7,8] We are today under the same influence of evil that causes us to harden our hearts and choose our will over God's. Those wandering in the desert were sent manna, or bread from heaven. This is comparable to Christ, who was sent to us, as living bread, from heaven. In the desert, they were given water that flowed out of the rock. This is like Christ, who is our living water, sent from heaven, (John 4:14) and whoever drinks of this water shall never thirst. Jn 6:32 says,Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. So are we inclined to overlook the appearances of God’s power and grace in our own times, in our own lives, and prefer the meat for the belly over the meat that comes from above. Are you with me? God saved His people from slavery, yet did not save them from destruction when they disobeyed Him. This is hard for me to explain but would love to discuss this further with you, Thank you for the opportunity :o) In His service, Tim |

4 | isn'tr it different for the saved? | 1 Cor 10:5 | sandre25 | 48647 | ||
tim ok. God saved His people ... but that was before Christ gave us salvation. my understanding is that if we are truly saved, then future sins do not condemn us. so what is paul warning about? we cannot lose that salvation. we will always be sinners. that is our nature. so this can't be warning us not to sin. according to romans thats not possible. |

5 | isn'tr it different for the saved? | 1 Cor 10:5 | dasev | 48657 | ||
dear one, it has to be possible to overcome sin, or else the charge to repent would be meanongless. further, if one is "always abounding in the work of the Lord", there is no time for sin. after a certain point in ones understanding the Lords abhorrance of sin should lead one to prize obediance to His Word and word more than the pleasures of sin. dasev | ||||||
6 | isn'tr it different for the saved? | 1 Cor 10:5 | sandre25 | 48664 | ||
romans 3:10As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one; seems there is always time for sin. i can relate to the apostate mentioned by dasev and the original 1 cor 10:5 could be warning about that... i'm a relatively new believer and i just need to make sure i understand what i'm reading. thanks!! |
