Bible Note: Hey Love Fountain, You raise some interesting points, I'll see if I can at least get you pointed in the right direction. 1. Satan does tempt us with lies and distortion of scripture. With Jesus, he attempted to distort scripture to get Jesus to sin. In the garden, he distorted the word of God, and Eve disobeyed, (sinned). 1 John 2:16 outlines the 3 areas of sin that satan beguiles us with his lies. "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world". Each sin that we commit, can be placed in one of these categories. How do we resist? Jesus taught us in the desert. "It is written". 2. We do not condemn our brothers and sisters for their unbelief. It is they that condemn themselves. Hosea 4:6, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee.." As you probably know, we are not to judge either. 3. Romans 10. This is a teaching of Paul regarding the Jews. I can say more, but I have to run now...Holler back....God Bless...believer57 |
