The implications are clear:
1- The man was caught in incest
No he wasn't.
The text does not state he was with his mother, but rather his father's wife. The laws in the Law regarding such things differentiated between mothers and the wives of fathers, thus the woman was his stepmother.
And the fact it was publicly known indicates his father was dead, and so the man lie with his stepmother after his father's death. That last part is just speculation, though.
Hebrews 10:16
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; |
Do you have the laws of God in your heart and written in your mind?
I'm not a Hebrew/Israelite.
Romans 3:31
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. |
How are you establishing the law?
Through faith.
Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
“Blessed
are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
Blessed
is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
-Romans 4:4-8
Then using your logic, for those not under grace there is necessarily a law, else there could be no transgression. So your position is in error.
Did you not bother to read the rest of my post before making an assessment?
Then you teach everyone saved or unsaved can covet with impunity (no wages for sin) when unbelievers are supposed to be dead in their transgressions (wages of sin).
No I don't, liar.
Instead, try believing this:
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
You think I don't know this?
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
-1 Cor. 6:9-11
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Notice in Revelation 21:8 that "unbelieving" is listed separately from other sins condemned by the law, which proves your position is error.
Revelation was written to, and for, the New Covenant with Israel which is separate from the dispensation of the grace of God, wherein there is no Jew or Gentile and the covenants with Israel were put on hold.
Then why did you excise the sabbath commandment from the Decalogue if the whole thing is on hold. Your position is that it is the right thing to do to keep the remaining nine, but the spirit in you apparently has something against the sabbath specifically.
:doh:
It is obviously, and demonstrably, wrong to commit murder, theft, adultery, perjury, to dishonor one's parents, or to covet after that which belongs to another. Any and every sober minded individual can tell you that.
And anyone of those people who also believes in and on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can tell you that it is wrong to worship any other Gods above Him, make graven images to worship, or to misuse His name.
And there is not a single verse in the entire rest of the Bible that contradicts any of this, or repeals any of these commandments as things a good person should observe regardless of their position to the Law.
There is, however, some verses in which Paul writes that to regard every day as any other day is perfectly acceptable in this dispensation. There are also verses that state the Sabbath was a covenant between God and Israel, and no one else.
Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations
as a perpetual covenant.
-Exodus 31:16
One person esteems
one day above another; another esteems every day
alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes
it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe
it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks.
-Romans 14:5-6
But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how
is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.
-Galatians 4:9-11
Your position is evidently total confusion, but God is not the author of confusion.
Just because you're confused does not mean I am confusing; it only means you cannot follow along.
Why do you mix grace with works?
Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
“Blessed
are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
Blessed
is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.”
-Romans 4:4-8
And if by grace, then
it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if
it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
-Romans 11:6
This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
-Galatians 3:2-3
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
-2 Timothy 1:8-11 KJV
