1 | Aren't pictures wrong? | Acts 17:29 | Theophilus | 88 | ||
Romans 3:23 applies. I'm not even sure if it is the first account in the Bible, but consider the golden calf in Exodus. It appears that it may have been cast as an object used for worship of the true God, but it was wrong! To do so today, with pictures, statues and icons is no less wrong. The ten commandments also cover this issue. | ||||||
2 | Why did God kill Uzzah? | 2 Sam 6:6 | Theophilus | 86 | ||
The inverse of this question is why didn't God kill those who broke his command and had the ark carried by oxen instead of the men who were assigned the task. In this passage, although God exercises judgement on the sin of Uzzah, it must be clearly noted that he exercised grace concerning the sins of the others present. "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) Unfortunately many find themselves trapped into thinking that the Old Testament teaches judgement, and the New Testament teaches grace. This is an example of grace from the Old Testament. |
