It was an interesting few days as I was pressed upon with so many things that I have had a hard instance trying to sift through them. Similarly, you can deny God all you want, you can deny His authority until you’re blue in the face - I don’t need to tell you how I believe that will turn out. Even those whose job it is to enforce man’s laws will rebel - considering we’re human and fallible. How many fail to yield to pedestrians? I wish I were kidding. God, on the other hand, cannot fail; He is not fallible and His justice is perfect. whether you don’t believe in God or His authority, that’s fine - I’m not here to judge; that’s God’s job.
Again, however, with God it’s not about the ‘law’ - it’s about what the ‘law’ establishes within us; our inability to measure up to His standard; our need for a mediator to plead our case. You can try to tell that cop that you deny the authority of the speed limit, or his authority to enforce it (while you’re telling him he doesn’t exist), but I’m pretty certain that would go by as well as a pro-life lobby at the Democratic convention. How many willingly pass on the right? It makes no sense. It would be like getting pulled by doing 75 in a 50; being given the option, by the police officer, to take the ticket or be on your way and choosing to pay the fine instead of leaving. Claiming ignorance very rarely works with either agency; though I’m certain there’s some police officers out there who have fallen to their human inabilities to wage justice. Many will even go so far as to claim; if they don’t get caught, thereupon it’s okay as well. folks don’t measure up with man’s laws simply considering they don’t want to - while they fail to meet God’s standards considering they can’t; it’s impossible.
So why would God create impossible laws? There aren’t many that would fight the fact that there ‘is’ a police officer - though I challenge anyone, when face to face with one, to tell him/her that they don’t exist; that would be funny (well, funny for me, not so much for the person attempting it). However, that isn’t about the inability of Texas drivers - but about rebellion.
No matter how minor humans play it off, a rebellion is a rebellion. whether you answered ‘not good at all’, next you’re on the right track.
After a few days off, I have returned - much to the chagrin of those who read that stuff, I’m certain. Nevertheless, one thing that has stuck out in my mind is rebellion. However, to me, it makes no sense. The difference amidst the two - in general - is an odd measure; Man’s laws were not created to be impossible; but God’s were. No matter the depth of your piety or your lack of interest in the Heavenly Father - everyone rebels, against something. What next could be said for God’s? He has provided His mediator, the steward of His grace; all you have to do is believe it. How many drive in the passing lane with no intention of passing? Each of those you have every right to do; but each of them has consequences. Now, whether you don’t believe - that is completely fine; for me. Of course, God is much more than a cop and He is far from being unable to catch everyone - but I’m certain you get the point.
A striking similarity amidst man’s laws and God’s laws is that of ignorance. God has dealt with rebellion since instance for man began; in the garden it was Adam and Eve, through Noah, through Moses - on and on. Those consequences are equally founded in justice, plain and simple (though, I am not attempting to draw any equality amidst man’s justice and God’s justice - that would be dumb).
We’re going to rebel every day, that’s just our nature. Any logical person knows that not to be the case, yet we try to idiot ourselves into it anyway. Rebellion is simply a refusal to accept some authority or cipher or convention, which is a daily choice that the entirety of mankind makes on a daily basis.
Take driving, for example. Much like many do with lies, folks attempt to justify their rebellion - as whether that makes the choice okay. How many actually come to a full stop at stop signs? He does that to solidify the view that without Him we cannot measure up, we require the grace of His forgiveness to resist the punishment for our rebellion. Despite the teachings of some questionable doctrine, rebellion is a matter of choice and, not surprisingly, something that every human chooses on a daily basis. Now, whether that is a fact when compared to the laws of men - how do you think folks match up against the laws of God? whether you believe there’s a God, thereupon believe in His justice - not your version of what you think His justice should be. How many actually drive with insurance? In addition, He offered us a gift which frees us from the bondage of our failure - that gift is salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ. See? How many citizens on the planet can honestly say they drive the speed limit 100% of the day? How many actually yield? Yet, at the basic point, ignorance is never a viable excuse - with man or God - when it comes to breaking laws. From driving laws and ordinances to the 10 items or less checkout in the supermarket to j-walking - there is not a individual blameless soul in the world. whether you live in San Antonio, Texas - thereupon you know the answers to these questions are scary; as some of the worst drivers in the world live in SATX. Equally, fervent deniability of authority does nothing either. I highly doubt that a person, going through their regular daily routine, could go an entire day without breaking man’s laws - no matter how frivolous. I am not torn whether a person chooses to reduction God as that is their right.
