7 THE NEXT STRAW MAN ARGUMENT ADAM CHOOSES
Isaac Responds This scripture is referencing the following... The Lord spoke.....
Deuteronomy 28 However, if you do not obey(A) the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today,(B) all these curses will come on you and overtake you:(C) 16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country. This is not a reference to God speaking and all things happening or being predestined. He is referring to the curse spoken by God in Deuteronomy. My Answer God Give Commands and Warnings Of course God is giving the His people instructions and directing them to keep the Law all of which they were bound to according to its terms. “And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us’’. Deuteronomy 6:25. If they keep the Law then sickness would not come upon them God would be their keeper and would abound with natural blessings of health, security and safety from their enemies. And according to the terms of the Law and first covenant God would afflict Israel’s enemies with the terrible diseases that they had seen come upon the Egyptians. God would be their deliverer and saviour. If they kept not the Law they would be afflicted according to the blessings and curses uttered under the law. Out side that covenant relationship all men were subject to the terrible diseases that the Egyptian were afflicted with. Nothing has change, God hasn’t changed. If you are under the Law then that was the state of things then. Moses called heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Deuteronomy 30:19. None of this shows the natural man has free will but rather they were responsible the keep the terms of the covenant. A failure to do so would result in affliction, punishment , death for murder, adultery and blasphemy. It was a do this and live situation all of which the elect , believers in Christ are saved from. And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. Deuteronomy 7:15.
