to chrisitnas; How can God expect us to obey him, when the bible says?

Question

That the people he's chosen to convey his message (the prophets), broke even the 10 commandments?

The penalty of most of these sin ,in the law, is stoning to death:

1-Noah’s drunkenness – Genesis 9: 21
2-Murder by Moses – Exodus 2:12
3-Idolatry by Aaron – Exodus 32:4
4-David’s Adultery – 2 Samuel 11:4
5-Solomon’s Idolatry – 1 Kings 11:4

We are talking about major sins.
Yes Jesus was an example for those who came ater him but what about people who lived before?

To paul:

Psa 5:5 You hate all evildoers.

Answer 1

Everyone is a sinner
and i think this is in quran too
i dont think that in quran it said Moses and Aoron or david or solomon are not sinner.

But to show how God is Mercifull to forgive them and still accept them.
God is great and he still forgive my sin.

When u as a muslim start to pray the first thing u said in the Name of the Mercifull God.

He is the HOLYNESS

Answer 2

Ok, I gotta split my answer up into two parts- one for the asker's question, and one for some bothersome answers by my fellow Christians. I apologize to the asker for this.

Part 1- If God were to use perfect people to convey His message, we could put our faith in those people, because being perfect they could have done the right thing and said the right message all by themselves. Instead, God chose imperfect people, such as David who committed adultery, or Paul who hunted Christians for sport before he came to Christ, or Peter who, as a leader of the church, selfishly alienated the gentile Christians and had to be rebuked by Paul because of it.

We, like they, are not perfect. We screw up. God chose the imperfect people to manifest His power in and to bring His message through, in order to show that His strength can and does overcome our weaknesses (see 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 and 1 Corinthians 1:26-29). Furthermore, God loves us despite our shortcomings, and will take someone who has serious flaws and work those flaws out of him, just like a skilled gemcutter (see Jeremiah 18:3-6 for a similar example).

Part 2- To my fellow Christians who say we don't follow the Old Testament, what did Jesus mean then when He said "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter will pass from the law until everything takes place." (Matthew 5:17-18) The New Testament NEEDS the Old Testament, just as the Old Testament needs the New Testament. One is not complete without the other. Jesus and the Apostles REPEATEDLY quoted the Old Testament. They REPEATEDLY emphasized its validity and teachings and principles to the early church. This, of course, has to be taken into context with Christ's sacrifices and the effects that has had on the Old Testament and God's Law, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't follow those things!

I'm not a legalist or a "saved by works" crazy, but the OT is and always will be part of the Bible. Do you realize how much of our Christian beliefs come from the OT? Do you realize that the entire NT is based on the OT? Do you realize that the entire OT points towards the NT? Do you realize how completely inseperable they are? The Word of God is the Word of God, and does not change or pass away, just as God does not change or pass away.

Answer 3

1- Drunkenness.. where in the OT is this a sin?
2- Murder? Was it not a killing in defense of lives?
3- Idolatry... Aaron might have assisted the others, but even if he did it was after mucho pressure and death threats to many.....
The other two were eventually punished, I think..

Answer 4

So far you haven't pointed out anything that God has done wrong, you're only picking on the people.

If this is the best you can do, then I would say this is a really good reason to obey God!

(By the way, why do you belong to a religion of murder and oppression and then show a complete lack of values in trying to find fault with these men?)

Answer 5

1) That is the reason that Jesus came. To make it easier for man to be saved. Instead of having to follow laws (Judism), now u are saved by repentance thru Jesus Christ (John3:16).

2) None of the people u mentioned were prophets.

3) Punter, anyone can pick out short exerpts from any text to attempt to prove a point. Problem is, to fully understand any message, the entire text have to be read in its entirety. Questions like who said it? Ther subject he was talking about at the time. In what context was it said in? Was it a parable?
In the bible,sometimes the entire chapter have to be read for the message 2 be understood. You cannot just pick a few lines for your own agenda.

Answer 6

Mohammad drunkenness – Koran
2-Mohammad's murder – Koran
3-Mohammad by Idolatry – Koran
4-Mohammad’s Adultery – Koran
5-Mohammad’s Idolatry – Koran:

the Koran is full of the lies your pathetic so called profit has been up to.

If the book is so bad take all the references about it in the Koran, the things that say good about it and the things that say bad about it.
You Koran falls apart with out it with out our Holy Book.
It is a shame your book is not holy.
It brings a pagan moon god and calls it the Creator, and then go on to build all this rubbish about the real god, but it is not the real god. (ha ha ha ha)

Answer 7

It's not possible not to break any of the ten commandments. It's not possible not to sin. Humans are falliable (yes, even the *pope*). The point is that God forgives. Of course he wants you to obey him, but he forgives. Even in the old testament (because I see you haven't sited the new testament at all), how many chances did he give his Chosen People to repent, turn from their ways and ask for forgiveness? And how many times did he forgive them? Go through and count. It was a *lot* of times.

Answer 8

Only one man was without sin. Jesus Christ, wh was both God and man at the same time. Be grateful that God still chooses to use sinful men to glorify his kingdom. When he is done using sinful men you will be among the first to know. You will hear that trumpet blow.

Answer 9

Romans 3:21-26 answers your question. It says: "But now apart from law God's righteousness has been made manifest, as it is borne witness to by the Law and the Prophets; yes God's righteousness through the faith in Jesus Christ, for all those having faith. For there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and it is as a free gift that they are being declared righteous by his undeserved indness through the release by the ransom paid by Christ Jesus. God set him forth as an offering for propitiation through faith in his blood. This was in order to exhibit his own righteousness, because he was forgiving the sins that occurred in the past while God was exercising forbearance; so as to exibit his own righteousness in this present season, that he might be righteous even when delcaring righteous the man that has faith in Jesus."

God used imperfect humans as prophets. Only Jesus was perfect and was without sin(Hebrews 4:15), but otherwise as verse 23 says about humans "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

We can be imperfect and still obey God. We do our best and God does not ask more of us than we can do. In fact he understands that because we are imperfect we are bound to make mistakes. (Psalm 51:5; Job 14:4; Romans 5:12) However we cannot use the excuse that were imperfect to do what we want, we need to do our best to strive to follow God's will and then we will still be considered obedient and righteous by him. (Romans 2:13)

Answer 10

Everyone has broken the 10 commandments except Jesus. That's why Christ had to go to the cross because all sin must be atoned for and Christ paid for our sins on the cross.
