"Have you not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests, like the peoples of [other] lands, so that whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams may be a priest of [things that are] not gods? 2 Chronicles 13:9 NKJV

The people were being called out. They were in the grip of sin. It was a condition they had been in for a long time. They had moved from Disinterested Drive to Anarchy Avenue. It was a move that did not benefit any person. God was still God. His power was not weakened in any way by their reaction. He could make them followers, but they had to volunteer their hearts. With their hearts out of reach, they couldn’t think straight.

It was like an angry crowd, but they weren’t sure why they were angry. They elevated nothing and made it something to worship. They found people who thought like them and made them their preachers. The world had turned upside down, but some thought it was completely normal. This was a time of delusion and spiritual blindness. One thinking voice called to a crowd of those who refused to think. The truth meant they had been living a lie.

You could use the word ridiculous, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Yet this kind of thinking exists to this day.

Prayer: I don’t want to become trapped into believing that You are whatever I want You to be, Father. May everything about me strain, yearn, and long to acknowledge You.
 
This reminds me of universal salvation which states everyone will be saved in the end so there no need for any kind of restraints.
the LGBT group speaks with this same thinking and voice. As the serpent said to Eve, “You will not surely die….”

Sadly there are many so called churches that believe this same thing. Why heed to any laws or conscience since everything in the end will be reconciled back to God. Deception in its highest form Is every where.

Thanks, well writen clear

I would offer. Fallen mankind, it would seem all of mankind is angry with God as if the fall was his doing. (why did you make me this way) a lie from the pits.

It seems common when mankind is angry at God they begin by trying to pluck a speck from the eye of other sinners . Looking for fault in others in some cases revenge seems to comfort some. . . therefore easing removing the focus of their own self by condemning others .

Judging another in doing so condemn your own self. . . showing a person has set their approval by performing it . . .being found guilty of violating a law of our unseen Holy God. . . . .there are three fingers as witnesses pointing back .condemning oneself.

Only God can rebuke a lying spirit .Mankind has no power of their own. to either raise from the dead or rebuke the dead spirits or error called the Legion. .

In that way we must be careful how we hear it as it is written. Human Jealousy tends to stacks sides.

In that way God's name is Jealousy, he own all things and will not share his glory with dying mankind .

Exodus 34:14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

We must be careful how we hear. The King James seems to be commanding us "to be angry" .after all some say God is a angry God so as children we can have a righteous anger of our own .

This time the NIV would seem a better way. . . "in our anger ". God recognizing because of the fall we are angry and full of anxiety ( angry people) Lovenly comandmanding us "in our anger" do not sin and then we can sleep better knowing the anger will be gone in the morning . .


Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Ephesians 4:26In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

God does not promote human anger.

James 1:20 CEV If you are angry, you cannot do any of the good things God wants done.

God's anger that works in us . . . . . humbles us.

James 1:20 NIV because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
