Q

Sin is always idolatry. Explain.

A
  • sin is treason because we’re turning away from God’s way (not developing our own way, we’re just saying “no”) - we choose between Door A and Door Not A - and by doing this, we’re assuming he’s wrong and we’re right which means we therefore assume we’re over him (our way is better), this becomes self worship because we wanted our own desires
68
Q

How are we saved like Abraham was “saved?” Explain with Scripture.

A

Abraham: God commanded Abe to move to the promise land and promised blessings over his family, because Abe believed God in this, it was counted as righteousness (Romans 4)
Us: God spoken to us through Jesus (Hebrews 1), must have faith in Him (believe Him) and this will be counted as our righteousness

James 4:7-8- resists the devil and draw close to God (the more we draw closer to God, the less Satan will affect us because he can’t stand God and he has no power over God), the devil preys on the weak
Job 1:12, 2:6- God allows the pain/suffering of Job, but always gives Satan a restriction (cannot tough him physically and cannot take his life)

70
Q

We should not be afraid of Demons. What should we be and why?
