I am sorry you are "stuck". I see it clearly. Adam was special, Noah was special and Abraham was special. All of them were dead when the Israelites came on the scene to be His special people as God had promised Abraham.
I'm not here to fight, just to discuss what the Scriptures are teaching us.You are misrepresenting my post. I never said I was "stuck", I said I was struck by how the Exodus story mirrors exactly the Salvation plan the NT explains. You know this if you read the post. Normally it would anger a man to have someone either purposely, or accidentally omit words or letters of their posts in order to alter the meaning.
But I find this action a perfect opportunity and an example of the point I am trying to make on this forum. Look how taking one letter from one word in my reply allows you to twist and completely alter what I said. You took one letter from one word and omitted it, which distorted my entire post in front of the world. This is how easy it is to twist or distort a message.
I am nothing, a nobody, so you distorting my words is insignificant and i really don't care.. But this very thing happens to God's Word every minute of every day and has been happening since the serpent twisted God's Word to misrepresent Him to Eve. When Eve furthered satan's deception to Adam, she didn't do it for malicious reasons, she had just been deceived about what God said, and shared her deceit with others.
This is what I see happening all the time in the religions of the land.
You preach that God placed 613 Laws on the Israelite's. God didn't say this, and God didn't do this. But you heard "another voice" make the claim, became convinced, and furthered this deception onto others. Some of them, in turn, furthers it to their acquaintances and so on until an absolute falsehood, becomes a religious truth. Just like you did with me. If you would have been more interested in what God actually said, you would have checked on the "other voice" and you would find your claim about God placing 613 Laws on every man that HE delivered from Egypt is a myth, a falsehood, a deception.
It is truly a fascinating phenomenon.
So here is what the religion which promotes the 613 laws falsehood is implying about the God of the Bible. I'm paraphrasing to make the point I see.
That God chose the Children of Israel, heard their cry in Egypt, and promised to "deliver them" from their slavery and servitude if they would take the Blood of the Lamb of God and follow His Instructions regarding it. So Israel trusted God and followed HIS instruction regarding the Passover Lamb. He made the death angel pass over them, HE Parted the Red Sea, HE brought tests and trials to build their faith. He fed them in the wilderness, He guided them with pillars of fire.
But as soon as HE got them to Mt. Sinai, this same God placed 613 laws on them, Laws that were so grievous and so many in number that it was impossible for men to keep them. But God commanded that they keep them anyway, and when they didn't, HE slaughtered them by the thousands. They had once again become slaves to tyranny, according to the implication of many modern religions.
But according to the implications of these religious men, God continued HIS tyranny, and sent them Prophets who also told them to keep all 613 commandments, but the people stood up against God and killed the Prophets for trying to make them follow Laws which were impossible for them to follow, which, according to religious men, was by design.
So God's Son had to step in and take matters in HIS own hands. He came to save these "Slaves" who God saved from Egypt only to "burden" them with a Yoke of Laws and turned them back into Slaves against their own will. These men, according to many religious men today, were born "civil" and were fine with the knowledge of good and evil instilled on them from birth. They were just innocent victims of an unjust God with 613 laws, that were impossible to follow, placed on their necks. The Jesus they now follow, saved them from HIS Father and HIS Fathers 613 unjust, impossible to follow Laws, and "Freed them" from this God of the Bible. So in this religion, men are no longer slaves to this God and HIS 613 Burdensome, unjust Laws. They are free to create their own religion now.
Of course This is not the God of the Bible, God did not place 613 separate Laws on every man that HE brought out of Egypt, and I did not say I was "stuck" on Ex. 19.
But just because these are all falsehoods, doesn't stop religious men from being convinced they are true and teaching them to others.
I am not here to fight, but to expose the "winds of Doctrine" that are taught in the religions of the land I was born into. Some folks will engage, some with become angry. But I believe these discussions are still good to have among men.
