Does God have a Law?

The sermon this morning was discussing the Book of the Law. I wonder if God really has a Law for my life? If God is all powerful he would not allow us to break his law. If a Dictator had that much power he would not allow anyone to break his laws. He would rule them with an Iron fist and control all their actions. Why does God not treat his people in this way. More importantly those people that are not his people.

Most of you would like to say "because we have free Will." But I really struggle with Free Will. I do not believe in Free Will as defined by most people. But this is something for another discussion. The point is that God does have a Law for our lives. He does care about what we do, yet he does not force us to do his Will.

He reveals his will to us through His Word. God tells his people the many Laws that will help to make our life better. If we live according to this Law we will have peace and prosperity. The problem is that if we do not live in perfect accordance to his rule our life will be full of pain and suffering. Now think about which category you fall into.

Hopefully you can see that you have not followed his Law in every Tiddle and dot. God has set forth a Law for your life. He desires you to turn from all sinful desires. These can be Sexual desires as well as hatred or desiring other people's possessions. These are also in our actions, but most of you would recognize when people do evil things.

We do not live up to God's Law for our lives. The only way we could live up to God's Law is if he actually did it himself. Now you may be able to make some Gospel Connection. But My point is not to take you there. I want to remind you as well as myself that we need the Law. It tells us who we are and who we are supposed to be.

God desires for all Mankind to live up to his Law. This means Man being Man and Woman being Woman. This means taking a hard look at our lives and asking the tough question of what we can do about this. I would encourage all of you to use your so called Free Will to act. Act not by your sinful passions or being blown by any wind of Doctrine but Follow the truth God has given us through his Holy Word.

Thank you for Reading this and remember that Jesus Christ is the one who fulfills the Law for Us. He is both God and Man who does the Law for us. I couldn't help but make the connection for you.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

The Death of the Holy Innocents

Many people die for what they believe in. Some die for righteous people. But these chosen few die on behalf of the one who will save us all. These children have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. But these children die on account of the Christ Child. Many people have been martyred because they confessed the faith. These children did not stand or even get a chance to stand. They were cut down because they were seen as the threat to King Herod. Rachael mourns for her children. Rachael died giving life to Benjamin near Bethlehem. Rachael now weeps as all the children of this town are slaughtered. But just as Rachael died giving birth to life. These children die to protect the Christ Child who left the town and will die to give all of us life. St Peter once said that he would not allow Christ to go to the cross. St Peter drew his sword in the garden to die for Christ. But only these Children truly give their life for Jesus Christ to live. Their sacrifice should b...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...
