Son, you should never start using a tool you have
not tested; drinking of water when you know not it's
source; or partake of meats not knowing of the hand
that prepared it.
The Lord has given us His Word, which is our well
tested tool, for living in honour and truth; drink
the water given by the Spirit, and it will teach you
of the true ways; and eat of the gospel food from
God's living Word through the Spirit of grace.

POINTS TO
PONDER Elder Hulan F. Bass
Ecc. 7:20 – The wise man Solomon wrote this text with deep
understanding. “For there is not a JUST man upon earth,
that doeth good, and sinneth not.”
There are NO exceptions, but ONE – Jesus Christ – Heb.
7:14-15.
Even every born-again Regenerated Child of God, as an elect
inwardly, still sins because they still carry around the
OUTWARD fallen and corrupt nature of Adam; they still sin.
This fact is still intact with so-called honorable persons,
as they try to convince you of some “oddity” to “make a
sale. |

The expression of TIMING is found in this context as
referring to Gal. 3:28-29 – “There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is
neither male nor female: for ye are all one in
Christ Jesus, And if ye be Christ’s, are ye
Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
So this lesson goes back to Gen. 1:1 – The initial
Creation of all things even making the first human -
Gen. 2:7, so we then go forward through the seed of
Abraham, including his son Isaac, then Abraham's
grandson Jacob, who started the 12 Tribes as found
in Gen. 49:1-33, including the period of total
destruction of all humanity which also included some
of God's sons in the days of Noah’s Flood, at which
time only 8 human-beings remained alive, (Noah and
his family) Gen. 6- |
chapter 10:1. So here is the family history of the
generations of humanity which died, before the 12
Tribes of Jacob – Gen. 49. Even though Moses later
wrote the first 5 books in the Bible, he was not yet
born, but was of the 12 tribes. This period of about
3900 years included a multitude of people both of
the elect and non-elect. The many elect family
members of God’s people, who had then so lived and
died, had their names recorded in the Everlasting
Covenant written before Gen. 1:1. So, John factually
granted and testified that all of God’s elect family
in Rev. 5:9 to have been chosen OUT OF EVERY
kindred, tongue, people and nation. |
"But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away
of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it
is finished, bringeth forth death."(James 1:4-5)
Prior to these two verses, the teaching is that God
can not be tempted nor tempt he any man. The reason
is because he is without sin. If he could tempt any
man, he would have to have a sin nature and if that
were the case we would all be lost and would perish.
Man can be tempted because of our sin nature and
therefore we could and can tempt others with sin.
When sin is finished, it bringeth forth death. Every
person with a sin nature will die because of that
sin nature. Now back to God, and back to Christ.
They can not sin because they have no sin nature and
if it were possible that they could sin then it
would be possible for God to die. Now who would want
a God like that? Brother George |
