G1
The summary of the Law: Mark 12:28-34 MKJV And
coming up one of the scribes heard them reasoning, knowing that He
had answered them well, he asked Him, Which is the first commandment
of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments
is, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; 30 and you
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your
soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." This
is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like this: You shall
love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater
than these. 32 And the scribe said to Him, Right, Teacher, according
to truth You have spoken, that God is one, and there is no other
besides Him. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the
understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and
to love the neighbor as himself, is more than all the burnt offerings
and sacrifices. 34 And seeing that he had answered intelligently,
Jesus said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no
one dared to question Him any more.
G2
The Ten Commandments
H1
A set of 10 commands (Exodus 20:1-17). These are broad sets of all
types of sins.
H2
For example, Exodus 20:16 MKJV You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
I1
One article lists 7 lies: White lies, Bold-faced lies, exaggerated
lies, deceptive lies, compulsive lies, lies of fabrication,
duplicitous lies.
I2
These lies can be in thoughts, desires, words, and/or deeds.
H3
One can do this for all of the 10 commandments.
F2
Consistency
G1
What God believes and how He acts today has been, is, and will always
be the same.
G2
Hebrews 13:8 MKJV Jesus
Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.
E2
God’s character traits (see below under doctrine)
D2
God’s kingdom operates under His laws. There can be no
disobedience.
C2
Obedience or rebellion
D1
We obey; we live. We disobey; we are punished.
D2
Obedience is based on
E1
Believing God
F1
John 14:1 MKJV Let
not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in Me.
F2
Hebrews 11:6 NLT And
it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to
come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those
who sincerely seek him.
E2
Loving God: John 14:15 NLT If
you love me, obey my commandments.
D3
Rebellion is based on
E1
Me first. The Bible has much to say of selfishness. I’ll paste 2:
F1
Matthew 16:24 NLT Then
Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my
follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross,
and follow me.
F2
James 3:16 NLT For
wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find
disorder and evil of every kind.
E2
God’s way is this: Romans 15:1-3 AMPC WE
WHO are strong [in our convictions and of robust faith] ought to bear
with the failings and the frailties and the tender scruples of the
weak; [we ought to help carry the doubts and qualms of others] and
not to please ourselves. 2 Let each one of us make it a practice to
please (make happy) his neighbor for his good and for his true
welfare, to edify him [to strengthen him and build him up
spiritually]. 3 For Christ did not please Himself [gave no thought to
His own interests]; but, as it is written, The reproaches and abuses
of those who reproached and abused you fell on Me.
[Psalm 69:9]
E3
Punishment is forewarned to those who rebellion.
F1
God warns. His warning is not symbolic or to be taken allegorically.
G1
Matthew 10:28 NLT Don't
be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your
soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
G2
Ezekiel 18:4 NLT For
all people are mine to judge—both parents and children alike. And
this is my rule: The person who sins is the one who will die.
G3
Romans 3:10 NLT As
the Scriptures say, "No one is righteous—not even one.
F2
Eternally conscious torment and suffering. It is also not symbolic or
to be taken allegorically. In the verses below the emphasis is mine.
G1
Luke 16:24 NLT The
rich man shouted, 'Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over
here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am
in anguish in
these flames.'
G2
Jude 1:12-13 NLT When
these people eat with you in your fellowship meals commemorating the
Lord's love, they are like dangerous reefs that can shipwreck you.
They are like shameless shepherds who care only for themselves. They
are like clouds blowing over the land without giving any rain. They
are like trees in autumn that are doubly dead, for they bear no fruit
and have been pulled up by the roots. They are like wild waves of the
sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like
wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest
darkness.
G3
Revelation 14:11 NLT The
smoke of
their torment will
rise forever and ever, and they will have no relief day or night, for
they have worshiped the beast and his statue and have accepted the
mark of his name.
G4
Revelation 19:20 NLT And
the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty
miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had
accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the
beast and his false prophet were
thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
G5
Revelation 20:10 NLT Then
the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of
burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they
will be tormented
day and night forever and ever.
F3
It never ends. The door to hell only opens to let someone in; it
never opens to let someone out. Matthew 25:46 NLT And
they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go
into eternal life.
