Quest for Truth 114 Bible Survey 11: Sin Hurts God
The Retrobots are up to a little sassiness as we open the show. Chris is taking some time off, but Nathan Caldwell has returned.
Meet the Hosts
Nathan shares abbout his recent Easter sermons, and a new episode that should appear soon on his Team Jadeth Live podcast. Keith reviews the situation with the recent visit from grandkids, and the ongoing need to have one who will be around here for a while.
Returning to our temporary format for Dumb News, we read a few headlines and talk about the dumb things that people do. Burping bartenders, and more.
To transition, we talk about when to draw a line in sharing the love, and gospel message of Christ. Obnoxious people who rant, and run away. Steamrolling people who try to muddy the waters with topics they don’t want to hear the answers to, or give the chance to reply to any. The concept of throwing pearls to swine, which can be found in Matthew 7, is also brought up.
Main Topic
Bible Survey 11: Sin is Hurtful to God
How does sin appear to God’s way of seeing things? It’s not pretty. In fact it’s stinky and gross. After a review of where our Bible Survey has taken us thus far, we read the focus passage, Ezekiel 20:1-26
People had sought answers, but God refused to answer them. He tells the prophet Ezekiel that through the history of the nation, starting from their captivity in Egypt, and wandering in the wilderness, he has shown only good things, given a good land, but all he has had in return is rebellion, and bad choices. The people deserve to be wiped out, but he preserved them for his own glory and satisfaction. His promises made to Abraham and Jacob are still in affect, and he keeps his promises.
His laws are good, and direct us to honor him, and get along well with eachother. God’s glory includes being a witness and testimony to prove hjis power even to the heathen nations.
A difficult teaching comes in the final statements in this focal passage. Does God contridict himself after claiming to give good laws and gifts, does he say he is now giving bad laws? It’s a concept similar to warning a child to obey the rule to be safe, but finally giving in to let them experience the bad law they choose. Warning to not touch the hot stove, then letting hem touch to see that it really is hot, including the potential consequences of that rebellious decision.
God gives good rules, he warns, he gives plenty of chances, but in the end he let’s choose the god, rules, and consequences his people choose.
