Sin

Sin


Shalom ..

I would like to highlight a small precision when sin, or more precisely when fishing, the difference between the Old Testament and the New.

Take for example the case of adultery, but it is also valid for other sins, of course.

In the Old Testament, adultery was punished by death, adultery is stoning ..

Leviticus 8:10 If a man commits adultery with a married woman, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress woman be put to death.

We find also the same warning in the New Testament ..

Luke 16:18 Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though the wife of another.

Jesus .. But why does he use compassion then? .. Will it up against God? ..

John 8:
4 Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women, Now what do you say?
6 This they said to test him, that they might have to accuse him. But when Jesus is down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
7 So when they continued asking him, is being raised, he said: Let him who is without sin cast the first stone against it.

No. .. of course that Jesus is not placed against God. Simply, Jesus does not want you, you raise your hand to your brother or sister to punish .. God is responsible for reward us according to our ways, either good or bad ..

Proverbs 6:32 Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks meaning; one that effectively destroyed his soul,

You destroyed himself by committing adultery, but if I kill you, or stone you, so I put myself against the sixth commandment:

Deuteronomy 5:17 Thou shalt not kill.

It is certain that we must depart from a brother who fishes, whether after having warned he persists in his error in his evil way, because you can not join the bad .. We can also read: you put away the evil from among you ..

Deuteronomy 17:7 The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people. You shall put away the evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 10:22 If a man lying with a married woman are found, they both, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman also die. You shall put away the evil from Israel.

It is in this that we are made ​​perfect in our walk with God, compared to the old covenant ..
We must pray for brothers who are doing something wrong, we depart if they do not want to understand, but by no means kill .. But who knows if God does not deliver on the right path .. Our souls are in the hands of God. We can not in any case we judge, much less condemn us .. God is the only judge ..

You know what not to do, as what you should do .. You have knowledge of the law of God .. and your conscience warns you when you hurt .. the Spirit of God manifest because you do not good ..

1 John 3:
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins, and there is no sin in him.
9 Whosoever is born of God practices sin, because God's seed remains in him; and he can not sin, because he is born of God.

Good meditation, peace on you ..
