What were the transgressions?

[Grandpa]

Hi grandpa
I think it was disobediance.All the law is summed up in one word.When JESUS was tempted,the devil tried to get JESUS to think about himself,but JESUS told him that man does not live on bread alone(physical),but every word that proceeds from GOD.
GOD is love.

Roger that. It was disobedience. And selfishness. And rebellion.

1 Corinthians 10:6-15
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.


All this was given for examples for us. Mostly to find out how its not done, unfortunately. To show us our extreme neediness of a Saviour.

All the problems that the children of Israel encountered while in the wilderness are still problems for us today. Just because we don't see golden calfs around doesn't mean that idols aren't being worshipped.

How did they overcome? How did they enter the land? One whole generation didn't... why?

In keeping with the context of Romans 5 -

13) (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

19) For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. 20)The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 21)so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. . . . because of the disobedience of the one man - the Law was brought in - Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is there is no transgression.

The transgressions are anything outside the will of God. I would say that the law entered to show us transgressions - to let us know we were transgressors.

Yes. We have a bingo!

1.) If you were driving very fast down the street and there was no law/sign saying what the speed limit is, would you be breaking the law?


2.) If you were going fast down the street at 50 mph and there was a law/sign that said speed limit 40mph,would you be breaking the law?

I think the law was to let me know that i am doing wrong,and now i have a guide letting me know that i am guilty; and breaking the law will be imputed to me now.

I hope you can understand what i am trying to say.

Romans 5:13

king james version(kjv)

13,) For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

When someone like you knows it all what is there anyone can say? You are wrong, have been wrong and are continuing on the wrong path. You are miss leading and adding to the word how self righteous one can be is gauged by those whom stand as obstinately as you. I am so sorry for you!

Uh, I explained it in the post. It is very plain, there can be no sin or transgression without Law so if Cain sinned or transgressed then the Law was in force. The Ten Commandments were not the Law added because of transgressions. You cannot have transgressions without Laws. (Rom 4:15, 5:13 & I John 3:4) Something had to be added because the Law was being transgressed. What was added was sacrifices.

Here are some things you may not know about Moses: When Moses went to the mountain to tell Israel why he would not enter the promised land, he explained how he had failed to keep God's name holy. Now what do you suppose that meant? Moses explains that when Israel first reached the promised land, that the people came to Moses and requested they send in spies: giving an example of failing to keep God's name holy. think about it, the only time Moses told Israel what to do of his own accord, they conspired to kill him. A humbled spirit has an open ear.

HAH...Brother if you really knew me you would know that I am not easily bruised and or offended...And to lump all transgression under the big 10 if you will is not an incomplete statement mi amigo as ALL THE LAW and THE PROPHETS hang on the first 2 of the big 10

Concerning Ordinances...

Numbers 9:9-12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying............according to all the ordinances of the Passover they shall keep it.

Ezekiel 11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

Malachi 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye have gone away from my ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of Host's.

Which man made ordinances are you referring to?
