by It is man and not God who has categorized sin. For example, we justify lying without conscience as a “little white lie” or we can perjure ourselves in a court of law. While one of these sins is excused, the other is not. Yet, no matter how “little” or how “big” man classifies it, all sin is equally a serious matter with God. When it comes to a “little white lie,” here is what God equates it with:
“the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
(Revelation 21:8)
-
Jesus disobeyed man’s law and was crucified
-
Stephen disobeyed man’s law and was stoned to death
-
Apostles disobeyed man’s law and were beaten and imprisoned and killed
As we get closer to the Rapture, before the Tribulation, man’s law will get worse and worse (2 Timothy 3:12-15). We will be faced with times where we have to take a firm stand against man’s law. Why? When it comes to sin, we are not to indulge in it simply because man’s law has excused it. We are never to agree with sins forced upon us by man’s law. We are to always obey God’s Law of man’s!
With this said, let God be true, but every man a liar and obey God rather than men as we stand firmly against the legalization of sins in New Zealand.
