Justice, murder, and sin
are considerations, today, along with more on the “rebirth” and the language of
salvation. “Wheelchair Warrior” (Level 2 with 421 points, a member since

Why is there so much murdering in the Bible
if God doesn't want us to sin?
There is so much killing and stuff. It's just
wrong! Why would God write this down and make it his book that he wants everyone
to read. I remember this one part where this guy snook into a house and killed a
fat guy and hid his body in the toilet and then ran. What the hell
God!
THE BATTLE AXE:
Translation, Please… (01/11/2013)—The language of baptism is as necessary as
that of rebirth, for its focus upon cleansing, death, resurrection and new life
is vital to full gospel truth. Almighty GOD engages created beings and living
creatures as Creator, as Savior, and as Judge. It is not a minor point that the
complete revelation of GOD is also through inclusion and scrutiny using sacred
processes of divine judgment. The dynamics of deliverance from sin by death;
the unveiling of righteousness and mercy; and the eternal elimination of sin for
everlasting life must come into view through such events as the first and second
death, the first and second resurrection, and the first, second and third
judgments.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: I called
upon the LORD in distress: the LORD
answered me, and set me in a large place. The LORD
is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? (Psalm 118:
5-6, KJV)
THE DOUBLE DAGGER: Put Every
Man His Sword By His Side (01/01/2013); The Common Danger (01/02/2013); Vows and
Covenants? (12/17/2012); A Need to Fear? (12/02/2012); On Seeing Jesus Serve the
Poor (12/03/2012)
Just as there are many things regarding
divinity that would be otherwise unknown to mankind, there are many things about
human makeup and the nature of reality that are documented for those who will
make careful study of the holy writings. The Bible is most correctly seen as a
collection of truths intended for those serving GOD, and those voluntarily in
covenant as his people. The priesthood receives its knowledge in accordance
with peculiar practices, promises, and purposes.
Those having a knowledge of GOD through such
spirit content as faith, hope, love, wisdom and wrath against sin are more
prepared to discern and more easily recognize the operations of GOD in spite of
sin that characterizes human events. Even so, all must require repeated
exposures to truth just as babies must hear “mama” and “dada” many times before
they are internalized, sounded, and correctly applied. Angels, men and other
created beings and living creatures are subject to sin; yet, sin is no material
or physical thing that exists. Awareness and correct knowledge of sin is
provided from GOD through divine law; and substance from the person and will of
GOD must be imparted to the living that allows identification of sin, and
resistance to sin.
There is far more to be said, correctly
applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, more than surface
realization that sin is common and widespread among mankind demands a distance
and perspective supplied only by GOD. The Bible allows readers to have GOD’s
point of view (thousands of lives over the course of thousands of years) where
sin is a problem on a cosmic scale, for sin opposes all divine law, the
existence of GOD, and the continuing existence of all created.) Even so, I
trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your
faith.
