God demand the death of so many

Question #3: Why does God demand the death of so many innocent people in the Bible?

God not only demands the death of so many people in the Old Testament. But he demands the death of the people in the New Testament. He is still demanding the death of many people. But these people are by no means innocent. I do not know how anyone can think they are innocent. In the Torah you learn the rules and you live by the rules. Look in History and whether it is Alexander the Great, Pharaoh, Assyria, the Roman Empire, or any other civilized society they have rules and they have consequences.

The world today desires anarchy, just as much as they desire atheism. God has set up rules in the Bible. We develop rules in the United States or other countries and when people break these laws everyone screams for mercy. The truth is the same in the bible. God sends people into war. God send other nations after his people. There is a lot of death, but this is because God is just. When you break the rule why should you receive mercy? I know why I cry out for mercy. I know that I have done evil, but I turn to Christ and cry for mercy.

I find this question to be probably the most stupefying statement of all. If you have a God that loves you he will be just. He will give you a word that you can truly trust in. If he says he is going to do something then he does it. If you break the rules there are true consequences. You therefore will understand love of God to offer the propitiation for your sins. He then offers his son, and instructs the people of the Old Testament the sacrificial system to foreshadow Christ's sacrifice for our sins.

Simply: no one is innocent whether in the Bible or not in the Bible. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. All people deserve death and hell. But life comes to us through Christ and his death.

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...

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...

Human Reason is Faulty

The Confessors of the Augsburg Confession recognize another important lesson of which many easily lose sight. "They condemn the Pelagians and others who deny that the original fault is sin and who, in order to diminish the glory of Christ's merits and benefits, argue that human beings can be justified before God by their own powers of reason." Others may say by any use of their mental faculties or even their own decision. When you deny originl fault effects your reason or mental faculties you deny original fault or sin. If human beings claim any power for their own Justification they deny original sin or Fault. But our Human Reason is completely Corrupt. Therefore, St Paul can say mean's wisdom is foolishness to God. Therefore, Anyone who thinks they can make a decision for Christ is wrong. In other words their Reason is faulty. Human Reason leads to wild heretical thoughts whie God reveals the turth. Humans can rightly ask who can say what is right? But God s...
