Bible Note: Hello Merv, I did not say there was no law before Moses. I'm saying the law of Moses was not yet in effect. God had indeed given laws, commands, etc. to follow before Moses. "Another thing is the Jesusalem council did not mention the 10 comm. so gentiles are not obligated to keep them." I agree completely with this. "How is a God to judge them wicked without a standard?" Why were the people judged in the flood? Gen 6:5 (ESV) The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Why was Sodom judged? Ezek 16:49-50 (ESV) Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it. So to respond, I see God being able to judge them for their rejection of his revelation, but more than that for their pride and arrogance. Cain had the same problem. "I still think your rationale for debate is just to suit your position" I think the same of your rationale. Steve |
