MISUNDERSTANDING OF GOD .
Many Christians doesn't , known God because they read the bible across . If you read bible across, you can seen that , in the old testament God is vengeance God and the new testament God is merciful God but never true . Bible said , the son and father are one and He also said , I am God who changes not .
The only place to known God is the holy scriptures , because the scriptures contains christ .
Bible said , And that from a, child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus . Vs 16, All scriptures is given by inspiration of God , and is profitable for doctrine , for reproof , for correction , for instructions in righteousness: Vs 17, That the man of God may be perfect , throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timo 3 15-17 .
Though all scriptures is given by inspiration , profitable for doctrine , reproof and instructions in righteousness but we must rightly divide it .
Bible said , search the scriptures , for in them ye think ye have eternal life : and they are they which testify of me . John 5:39 .
Everything the prophets spoken was concerning christ but they wouldn't understand it because it was spoken unto them in divers manners , symbolism and figured of speech etc.
Bible said , Then he said unto them , O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken : Vs 26, ought not christ to have suffered these things , and to enter into his glory ?
Vs 27, And beginning at moses and all the prophets , he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself . Luke 24:25 -27 .
Even in the old testament , the prophets who prophesied about christ , didn't known him because they were inspired by the spirit .
Bible said , Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently , who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you . 1 peter 1:10 ,
Bible said , I have also spoken by the prophets , and I have multiplied visions and used similitudes , by the ministry of the prophets . Hosea 12 : 10 . What prophet hosea was saying is that , we the prophets , our messages was concerned christ and he is not yet to come , so we need to made symbols of Christ to communicate the gospel to the children of israel .
Christ have limited angels and made them messager in the new testament .
Bible said , For if the word spoken by angels was sedfast ,and every transgressions and disobedience received a, just recompense of reward .heb 2:2 .
Bible said , Are they not all ministering spirits , sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation ? Heb 1:14 .
Bible said , And the father himself , which hath sent me , hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time , nor seen his shape .
What Jesus was saying is that , I and my father are one , what I do , he does and what I can't do , he can't do .
Bible said , But when the fullness of the time , was come , God sent forth his son , made of a, woman , made under the law . Gal 4:4 .
Bible said , No man hath seen God at any time : the only begotten son , which is in the boson of the father , he hath declared him . John 1:18 .
Bible said, All things are delivered unto me of my father : and no man knoweth the son , but the father , neither knoweth any man the father , save the son , and he to whomsoever the son will reveal him . Matt 11:27 .
Bible said , I and my father are one . John 10:30 .
Bible said , And the angel of the lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a,bush and behold , the bush burned with fire , and the bush was not consumed .
Now let's move to the verse four , bible said , And when the lord saw that he turned aside to see , God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said , moses , moses. Exd 3:2,4 .
Bible said , This moses whom they refused , saying who made thee a, ruler and a, judge ? the same did God send to be a, ruler and a, judge ?the same did God send to be a, ruler and a, deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush . Act 7:35 .
If you read carefully you can , seen that , God ordained angel to operate under the old testament and the children of israel seen the angel as God .
Bible said, so saul died for his transgressions which he committed against the lord , even against the word of the lord , which he kept not , and also for asking counsel of one that had a, familiar spirit , to enquire of it . Vs 14, and enquired not of the lord : therefore he slew him and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse . 1 chron 10:13 -14 .
Pastors and beloved , let's move into verse four and seen whether God kill saul or he died his own death .
Vs 4, Then said saul to his armourbearer , Draw thy sword , and thrust me through there with , lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me .
But his armourbearer would not , for he was sore afraid . So saul took a, sword , and fell upon it . Chron 10:4 .
Saul kill himself but since , the old testament people were serving God in rumour and rudiment , if any bad thing happened they say is God doing that but never true , is their imaginations .
Bible said , And again the anger of the lord was kindled against israel , and he moved David against them to say , Go, number israel and judah . 2 sam 24:1 .
Now let's seen , if it was the lord anger that move David to number the israel .
Bible said , And Satan stood up against israel , and provoked David to number israel . 1 chron 21:1 .
Have you seen what has happened , Satan was provoking David to number them but they are saying is God because they don't known the integrity of God .
Confession : I know God through the new testament because the new testament revealed Christ while the old testament conceived Christ .
