Subject: Making Light of Sin |
Bible Note: I would like to bring the attention of the reader to the fact that Jeremiah is talking about God's people, not some worldly pagans who make sport of mocking God. In fact those who heal only lightly are the leaders of the church at the time, the shepherds of the flock. We as Christians are to stand firm as a rock against these false teachers, especially the ones who say that when we are "saved we can sin but it will be forgiven before we actually commit it. And also those who say that God's TEN commandments are "nailed to the cross". Why would something God wrote with His finger be "nailed to the cross". The "laws contained in ordinances" were what was "nailed to the cross". The laws that Moses wrote in a book, not those written by God Himself. There was a special place for the "book" of the law which Moses wrote. Deuteronomy 31:26 tells us: "Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee." Yes God gave Moses the "ceremonial law" which has all the information they needed at the time to survive the wilderness and to lead the people to Jesus through the sanctuary, until the veil was torn from top to bottom, then the sanctuary service was no longer needed, neither was the rules and ordinances that were given for their safe plight through 40 years of wilderness. 2 John tells us that the "law" that we are to obey is the one that we have had from the beginning, that we follow after His commandments, and His commandments are not grievous. Jesus also came to show man that the TEN commandments can be obeyed. Moses proved it, Daniel proved it, and a host of other examples in the bible. Anyone who says man can never stop sinning is a liar from the devil. |
