SAY NO TO IDOLATRY!!!

 

 #StayGuidance

📌 1 Corinthians 10:

👉²¹ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons👈👹; you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table and the table of demons.

²² Or will we anger the Lord? Are we stronger than him?

🚨²³ All things are lawful for me, but not all things are good; All things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.⚠️

²⁴ No one seeks their own advantage; rather each one what belongs to another.

²⁵ Eat everything that is sold at the butcher's, without asking anything, for the sake of conscience.

²⁶ For the earth is the Lord's and all its fullness.

²⁷ And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, without asking anything, for the sake of conscience.

🚨⚠️👉²⁸ But if anyone says to you: This was sacrificed to idols👈,

👉👉👉do not eat👈👈👈👈, because of him who warned you and because of conscience; for the earth is the Lord's, and all the fulness thereof.

²⁹ I say, however, conscience, not yours, but that of the other. So why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience?

1 Corinthians 10:21-29

YOU SHALL NOT KILL!!!

                         

We live in a world where we have to defend the OBVIOUS!!!

13 You shall not kill.

Exodus 20:13📖🙏

⁷ You will turn away from false words, and you will not kill the innocent and the righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

   The folly of idolatry

⁶ Thus says the Lord, King and Redeemer of Israel, the Lord of hosts:

    "I am the First and the Last;

    there is no other God.

⁷ Who is similar to me?

    Let him present himself in front of me!

    Let him do what I have done since ancient times,

    when I established a people and announced their future.

⁸ Do not tremble, do not be afraid;

    Did I not announce my purposes to you a long time ago?

    You are my witnesses: is there another God besides me?

    At the! There is no other Rock, not even one!"

⁹ How foolish are those who make idols!

    These objects that you cherish so much have no value at all.

    Those who worship idols do not know this,

    therefore they will be ashamed.

¹⁰ Who but a fool would make his own god,

    an idol that can't help you in any way?

¹¹ All who worship idols will be put to shame,

    as well as all these artisans,

    simple mortals who say they are capable of making a god.

    Even if they join forces,

    they will be united in terror and shame.

¹² The blacksmith works in the forge to create a sharp tool;

    he hammers and shapes with all his might.

    From working so hard, he feels hungry and weak,

    he becomes thirsty and faint.

¹³ The sculptor, in turn, measures a block of wood

    and draw a sketch on it.

    He works with a chisel and plane

    and he carves the image of a person.

    Gives the image of human beauty

    and places it in a small sanctuary.

¹⁴ he cuts cedars,

    choose cypress and oak,

    plant a pine tree in the woods,

    so that the rain makes it grow.

¹⁵ Then, he uses part of the wood to make fire

    and with it he heats and bakes bread.

    Then he takes what's left

    and makes himself a god to worship.

    He makes an idol

    and bows before him.

¹⁶ he burns part of the tree to roast meat,

    eat and stay warm.

    “What a good fire!” he says.

    "I don't feel cold anymore!"

¹⁷ So he takes what's left

    and makes his god: a carved idol.

    He bows down before him and worships him,

    pray to him and say:

    "Deliver me,

    for you are my god!"

¹⁸ How much stupidity and ignorance!

    His eyes are closed, and he can't see,

    his mind is closed, and he cannot understand.

¹⁹ He who made the idol does not stop and think:

    "I burned half the wood to keep warm

    and to bake bread and meat;

    How is it possible for the rest to be a god?

    Am I going to bow down to worship a piece of wood?"

²⁰ Such a person feeds on ashes and deceives himself,

    he trusts in something that cannot help her in any way.

    And yet he is unable to ask:

    "Isn't this idol I have in my hands a lie?"

# Restoration to Jerusalem

²¹ "Pay attention, O Jacob,

    for you are my servant, O Israel.

    I, the Lord, formed him

    and I won't forget you.

²² I have driven away your sins like a cloud;

    I have dispersed their evils, like the morning mist.

    Come back to me,

    for I paid the price of your ransom."

²³ Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done this wonder!

    Shout for joy, O depths of the earth!

    Break out into songs,

    O mountains, forests and all trees!

    For the Lord rescued Jacob

    and he is glorified in Israel.

²⁴ Thus says the Lord,

    your Redeemer and Creator:

    "I am the Lord, who made all things;

    alone I stretched out the heavens.

    Who was with me

    When did I create the earth?

²⁵ I show that false prophets are liars

    and I make fortune tellers look like fools.

    I make the wise men make their predictions wrong

    and thus I prove that they are foolish.

²⁶ But I fulfill the predictions of my prophets!

    Through them I say to Jerusalem:

    ‘This place will be inhabited again’,

    and to the cities of Judah:

    ‘You will be rebuilt;

    I will restore all its bad things.’

²⁷ When I say to the rivers: ‘Dry’,

    they will dry up.

²⁸ When I say about Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,’

    he will certainly do whatever I want.

    He will say: ‘Rebuild Jerusalem!’

    and he will command: ‘Restore the temple!’ ".

Isaiah 44:6-28

 

In the Bible, sin means 'missing the mark'. Sin is transgressing, rebelling, disobeying God, not following his perfect standard. Due to sin, everyone was separated from God and condemned to the sad consequence of death. Sin is the cause why there is evil in the world.

Whoever lives in sin is a slave to sin and does the will of the Devil, the father of sin. Our flesh is weak and prone to error. However, God sent Jesus to free us from sin. Jesus never sinned, but He offered Himself as payment for our sins.

Now whoever receives Jesus as his Savior and lives a life separated from evil is free from the power of evil. Whoever lives with Christ will no longer be a slave to sin, and will be united once again with God!

When you sin, confess and abandon evil, God is faithful and just to forgive and purify your life.

Therefore, think about this: Whoever knows he should do good and does not do it commits sin.

James 4:17

Each one, however, is tempted by his own evil desire, being dragged and seduced by it. Then this desire, having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, after being consummated, gives birth to death.

James 1:14-15

Everyone who practices sin transgresses the Law; in fact, sin is the transgression of the Law.

1 John 3:4

If we claim that we are without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:8-9

We know that the Law is spiritual; I, however, am not, for I was sold as a slave to sin. I don't understand what I'm doing. For I do not do what I desire, but what I hate. And if I do what I do not wish, I admit that the Law is good. In this case, it is no longer me who does it, but the sin that lives within me.

Romans 7:14-17

When he comes, he will convince the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. From sin, because men do not believe in me;

John 16:8-9

Who hides their sins

does not prosper,

but whoever confesses them and abandons them

find mercy.

Proverbs 28:13

Then I recognized before you my sin

and I did not cover up my faults.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions",

to the Lord,

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Psalms 32:5

Against you, only you, I have sinned

and I did what you disapprove,

so that fair is your sentence

and you are right to condemn me. I know that I have been a sinner since I was born;

yes, since my mother conceived me. I know you desire the truth deep down;

and in my heart you teach me wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be pure;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and joy again,

and the bones you crushed will rejoice. Hide the face of my sins

and blot out all my iniquities.

Psalms 51:4-9

We are like the unclean - all of us!

All our acts of righteousness

they are like filthy rags.

We wither like leaves,

and like the wind our iniquities

take us far away.

Isaiah 64:6

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

forgive my sin, which is so great!

Psalms 25:11

How happy is that

who has his transgressions forgiven

and your sins erased!

If you do good, won't you be accepted? But if you do not, know that sin threatens you at the door; he wants to conquer you, but you must dominate him.”

Genesis 4:7

Who can discern their own mistakes?

Absolve me from those I don't know!

Psalms 19:12

Therefore now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life has set me free from the law of sin and death.

"If your brother sins against you, go and, alone with him, show him his error. If he hears you, you have won your brother.

Matthew 18:15

Therefore, do not allow sin to continue dominating your mortal body, making you obey its desires. Do not offer the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; rather offer yourselves to God as one who has returned from death to life; and offer the members of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin will not dominate you, because you are not under the Law, but under grace. And then? Will we sin because we are not under the Law, but under grace? In no way! Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey them as slaves, you become slaves to the one you obey: slaves to the sin that leads to death, or to the obedience that leads to righteousness? But thank God, because, although you were slaves to sin, you began to obey from the heart the form of teaching that was transmitted to you. You have been freed from sin and have become slaves of righteousness.

Romans 6:12-18

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another to be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

James 5:16

Brethren, if anyone is overtaken in any sin, you who are spiritual must restore him with gentleness. But take care, each one, lest he be tempted either. Bear each other's heavy burdens and thus fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:1-2

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.

Matthew 18:6

We know that whoever is born of God is not in sin; he who was born of God protects him, and the Evil One does not reach him.

1 John 5:18

If you forgive someone's sins, they are forgiven; If you don't forgive them, you won't be forgiven."

“Antes que eu te formasse no ventre materno, eu te conheci... ” Jeremias 1:5

 

GOD IS LOVE BUT HE IS ALSO JUSTICE!!!

 

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. (Romans 1:18 KJF)

The truth is that Christ delivered us from this wrath of God that is to come. But the deliverance that Christ gives us is a conditional deliverance, that is, we will only be free if we are with Christ.

In short, the truth is that God is angry right now!

The bible says not only angry, but furious in his anger, this anger is worse than any sentence.

At first glance, the only reason God's wrath does not destroy us, annihilate our existence at this very moment, is called Jesus Christ.

He has given us the time of His grace and mercy.

It is by the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions do not fail. They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22,23 KJF)

In short, hell has its mouth open.

And what prevents us from being devoured by him is the rescuing grace of Christ.

A simple reading of the Holy Scriptures is enough to see the continuous presence of God's wrath in the world of men.

And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, that he may punish the nations with it; and he will rule them with a rod of iron; and he treads the winepress of the fury and wrath of Almighty God. (Revelation 19:15 KJF)

Although sometimes He abandons men who stubbornly refuse His help, removing His restraining and protective hand from them, and allows them to suffer the natural consequences of their sins (Rom 1:24,28).

Finally, biblical records demonstrate that when sending his righteous judgments on men, God makes use of various instruments, as well as angels, men, forces of nature, plagues, diseases and accidents.

In this way, his manifestations of anger have two aspects, one historical and the other eschatological.

Thus, although at present it is being revealed in the experience of those who distance themselves from God's truth, there still remains a future and final manifestation that will occur at the coming of the Lord and the final judgment.

The wrath of God in the Old Testament. The text of the Old Testament is full of information about divine wrath. Patriarchs, kings and prophets described it.

An analysis of its narratives and prophecies makes it clear what caused it, what its effects were on those who received it and the time in which it manifested itself.

The Causes of God's wrath. When considering the theme “The wrath of God” in the OT, it is clear that there are basically two causes.

In most occurrences it is caused by human actions that violate the covenant.

So also because of man's inhumanity towards his fellow man.

The breaking of the alliance. At first, making an alliance was the way found by the ancient world to form broader relationships that guaranteed greater security.

And this entire procedure provided the cultural context in which the covenant between God and Israel was formulated.

Such a covenant, made at Sinai – although it was unique in the sense that it did not occur with any other nation and placed Israel in a special relationship with God – corresponds to the pattern of this type of treaty.

It will occur by divine initiative as an act of sovereign grace (see Dt 4:13, 23, 32-40; 29:13) with a people that he himself redeemed.

And it stipulated, on the one hand, that God had adopted Israel as his people and that he would therefore protect and bless them richly and, on the other, that Israel would be holy to him (Lev 19:2; 11:44; 20:7,26) and obedient (see Exodus chaps. 20-24).

If they fulfilled their part they would enjoy God's favor and blessings (Dt 7:12-24; 28:1-13), but if they were rebellious they would receive curses (Dt 28:15-68) and God's wrath (Dt 6:10-19).

On the other hand, it is theologically significant that, in the OT, whenever a term for wrath refers to God, the divine name used is Yahweh, the covenant God (Ex 32:1-10; Deut 11:16-17; 2 Re 24:2).

Thus demonstrating the intimate association between God's wrath and Israel's historic covenant of faith (Am 3:2).

Thus, it is in this context of covenant theology that God's wrath in the OT must be understood.

Inhumanity. In Amos 1 and 2, nations are condemned for crimes against humanity.

Thus, while Israel and Judah would be punished for sinning against the revealed will of God, the other nations would be punished because they acted in disagreement with the natural light that all men possess.

They transgressed universal principles of morality and justice, which were written in the conscience of all people (cf. Rom. 2:14-15), being part of the universal morality of the human species that were from the beginning communicated through the divine Word, explicitly ordained (Rom 1:18-20).

God reproves them not for waging war, not even for trading slaves, but for their excessive cruelty towards the populations they had conquered.

He condemns the furious destruction and passion to humiliate, the suppression of all hope for the future of the country occupied by his troops, the complete elimination of opponents.

Even those nations that were used by God to punish his rebellious people will suffer his wrath due to their excesses in their mission to punish.

The effects of God's wrath.

There are two types of punishments.

The first refers to those that are natural consequences of acts of sin (Job 4:8; Ps 9:15; 94:23; Pr 5:22).

This can be seen in the poverty that results from laziness (Pr 6:9-11) and the ruin of the family due to drunkenness (Pr 23:21).

They often persist in accompanying man even when he repents and is forgiven, although there are situations in which they are softened or neutralized by the means that God has made available to us.

The second are the penalties imposed by God as judgment when sin is punished by a direct act of God.

Such as: the Flood (Gn 6-7), destruction by fire and brimstone (Gn 18:21-22; 19:23-25), war (Lv 26:17); the pestilence (Lev 26:25); exile (Lev 26:33); etc.

Noah's ark in the flood - Genesis 6 and 7

The Wrath of God in the New Testament.

In short, the focus of the New Testament message is the love of God manifested in the gift of Christ (John 3:16; Rom 5:8), to become one with us and die for us.

However, alongside this focus, the reality of God's wrath can also be perceived.

The arguments of the gospels, in accordance with the apostolic letters and the Apocalypse, point out what attracts God's wrath and the effects it has on men, as well as its manifestation in the events of history and its eschatological meaning.

The cause of God's wrath in the New Testament.

When approaching the theme of divine wrath in the NT, God is seen as the Creator of all (Rom 1:18-25).

The root cause of divine wrath is sin!

But what is sin?

In short, it is any lack of conformity with God's law.

On the other hand it is more than that because the law may not embody all that God's character is.

Thus sin is everything that contradicts the character of God, is an opposition to God, is the breaking of the personal relationship with God.

Therefore, sin is an action (1 John 3: 4), but also a state of will and personal condition that opposes God and his will (Rom 7:14; 8: 6-8).

So if there were no God nor the possibility of a relationship with Him, there could be no sin.

Therefore, in essence, sin is, from the Greek, asebeia (impiety – Rom 1:18) and covers a great diversity of human dynamics.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.” Rom 1:18

Or, as Paul described it, “everything that does not proceed from faith is sin” (Rom. 14:23).

Thus, the awakening of God's wrath in the new testament is sin, God through Christ freed us from the slavery of sin, and when we practice it again God is angry because he gave His Son to free us from sin (Heb 10: 29).

The effects of God's wrath in the NT.

In short, the consequences of God's wrath can be seen basically in the human nature, impious and perverse and in continuous distancing from God (Rm 3:9-18).

Therefore, in the act of God abandoning men, allowing them to follow their own passions and receive the inevitable consequences of their sins (Rm 1:20-32) and in the application of punishments (Jude 7).

The nature of children of wrath.

The first effect of God's wrath on us is that we are (without Christ) “by nature children of wrath” (Eph 2:3).

Thus the expression “children of wrath” is a Hebraism and means that we are worthy of wrath and are subject to it, while “by nature” means by birth.

By birth we are all children of wrath.

We do not immediately become, we are.

This text does not say that we are born into this world in a state of innocence and neutrality and that then, because of sin, we become sinners and then incur the wrath of God.

Finally, he says that sin is found in man as an innate principle, and that we were born into this world under the wrath of God.

Divine attitude of delivery.

The last verses of the first chapter of Romans describe humanity abandoned by God and the scene is terrible (Rom 1:28-32).

After discussing the impiety and perversion of men in their successive departure from God, and their refusal to respond positively to God's revelation, deifying human reason and reaching the point of madness in the most corrupt form of idolatrous practices (Rom 1:18-23 ).

In conclusion, the apostle uses the expression “God handed them over” three times. His words are:

“Therefore God gave such men over to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own heart” […]

“God gave them over to infamous passions;” […] God gave them over to a reprehensible mental disposition” […] (Rom 1:24-32).

This delivery did not originate the moral condition, as this condition already existed.

They did not slide down this path because God abandoned them or induced them to sin, rather God let them go unchecked along the path they were already on.
