Title: If the Lord is not consistent then He either was wrong or is wrong    
     
     
     
     
 
    
 
     
     
     
     
 

 

For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore you sons of Jacob are not consumed. -

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. -
The Lord does not change.     Christ Jesus is the Lord in the flesh and He does not change

How is it that we live in a world which worships change?     yes, the inventions which improve the quality of life are good.     But the negative changes in morals and culture represent the direct influence of Satan.     

The Enemy and his children tout the negative changes as good when in fact they are evil

Whatthe Lord has declared still stands.     His definition of good still stands.     And His criteria for acceptance into His kingdom still stands

I know we worship change in our society today but change is not of the Lord.   It is of Satan who has always sought to change the law of the Lord.   

Biblical history records several instances of the Lord exercising judgment against wrong doers:
the Flood
Babel
Sodom and Gomorrah
Ninevah
Tyre and Sidon
to list a few of the major examples of the Lord's judgment.   

What precipitated these judgments?   
Rebellion which resulted in wickedness and evil.   

Those who would teach that the Lord has changed His mind about morality assume something that the Lord said Himself could not be.   

The very definition of a liar is "a person who makes statements that are false".   
In hope of eternal life, which the Lord, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; -
Since the Lord cannot lie we have total confidence in the gift of Eternal Life.

We see that there is no Biblical premise to support the Lord changing His mind about anything He has said.   


So, from where does the notion that the Lord has changed His mind on moral issues come?   
You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.     He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.     When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. -
So Jesus point-blank tells them that each of them is a Child Of Satan.     Resisting the Truth solidifies a person a Child Of Satan.

Now that that is established let's consider the next question.   
Is a person deemed innocent of breaking a law because they are ignorant of it or disagree with it?   

I know of no instance where ignorance of or disagreement with a law resulted in a defendant being exonerated of breaking that law.   And this is the arena of unjust men.   How much more ridiculous it is to believe that such argument would stand in the presence of our righteous Creator and Saviour,

Yet, we see ministers actually teaching that sin is no longer sin, that the Lord has changed His mind.   

If those who teach such are right then God Must Apologize to those sited above who were judged and destroyed for their rebellion, wickedness and evil.   

I for one am quite sure that our Lord will not be apologizing.   He is the righteous judge and He will judge according to His Word.   He will judge based on what He wrote in the human souls at their birth.   
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Deity; so that they are without excuse: -
Evidence of creation and Intelligent Design is everywhere and it is undeniable.

Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith which provides Grace, will judge the living and the dead.   Those who have received Him as Lord and Saviour will be deemed justified by faith.   Those who have rejected Him will be deemed condemned by their unbelief.   

That begs the question: "What does it mean to 'receive' Jesus?"

Jesus is the Incarnate Word of the Creator.   He is the Truth about our Creator.   He is the image of our Creator.   
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. -
This is not just a response to put Satan off.     But, more importantly, it is a statement of Spiritual Law which clearly elevates the importance of every Word of the Lord.     We cannot experience Abundant Life without abiding in His Word.     

Just as Food is necessary for Physical Life, the Wordof God is necessary for Spiritual Life.     the Lord is a Spirit so we can only relate to Him in Spirit and in Truth by faith.     We need the Holy Spirit of the Lord and we need the Word Of The Lord.

Now we know that no one measures up to the standards of morality expressed in the Word though believers aspire to them.   What then separates the accepted from the rejected if all of us fall short?   

We come back to rebellion.   
Submit yourselves therefore to the Lord.     Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. -
These commands ensure victory.     

The Lord wants only your best interest served, so work with Him.     

Satan, on the other hand, is the enemy and must be resisted whenever and wherever he appears.     

We submit from our will just as we rebel from our will.     The rebellious attitude leads to destruction while the submissive attitude leads to eternal, abundant life in the Holy Spirit.

A person who resists the devil and his arguments while submitting to the Lord and His standards is acceptable.   
When a person receives Jesus, they receive Him in His totality - not just in part.   
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.     Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king. -

No one can be accepted by the Lord Jesus while rejecting His authority.   For the Lord to accept such would invite heaven to collapse as invalid.   

No, our Lord will never apologize.   He has not changed.   He will not change,
I must change and you must change in order to be received by Him.   
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish. -
Though it is not the Lord's will that any perish, it is up to each individual to determine their fate.

Forasmuch then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin; -
When our mind is transformed we cease from the works of the flesh.

That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of the Lord. -
The mind must be delivered from bondage to be set free to live unto the Will Of God.

For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: -
All that is past should be forgotten.

Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: -
repentance is turning away from one thing to face another thing.     

We can't concern ourselves with what the heathen think of us.

Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. -
Our Lord will judge all people and all things.
