I read the chapter – I didn’t see where he said anything about legalism – more exactly things that happen to those that do not obey the voice of the Lord. Those types of things still happen to those that don’t obey the voice of the Lord. Folks can be forgiven – but the consequences on earth of bad choices still reign. Sowing and reaping hasn’t been rescinded – as far as earthly results are concerned________________
You don’t understand basic Bible legalism. You are trying to put new wine into old wineskins. You want to keep Hagar in the house – but that old system of blessed if you do good, cursed if you do bad is obsolete and must be cast out.If you rob a bank, expect to be arrested.If you cheat on your wife, expect a divorce.If you beat your children, expect a visit from social services.But as for God, Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. See Gal. 3:13Our sins, all of them, have already been laid on Jesus, condemned, killed and put away.Rom. 4:7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven,And whose sins have been covered.8 “Blessed is the man
True, and we need to recognize that Deuteronomy 28flows on from Chapter 27. The things that would bar the way to prosperity for the people included worshipping idols, cheating your neighbor, deliberately misleading blind people, having sex with your stepmother, copulating with animals, committing incest, murder, and receiving bribes. To commit such sins would be a clear indication that someone had deliberately chosen to cut himself from the covenant.It would be a sad perversion of the Gospel indeed if we were to say, Hey, it’s OK to worship idols, steal your neighbor’s land, exploit the disabled, have sex with your step-mother sister and dog, kill your neighbor and take bribes. You can keep doing all these things and God will still bless you and prosper you because you’re a Christian and you’re covered by the blood.We see a clear application of the true Gospel of Grace in 1 Corinthians where Paul addresses one of the very issues raised in Deuteronomy Chapters 27 & 28. A member of the Church at Corinth was sleeping with his step-mother. Paul did not say, Hey, don’t worry about that cursed and fruitless stuff – it’s all covered by the cross anyway. He was clear that the individual, by his actions, had separated himself from God’s covenant people. The solution was to cast him out of the church until his actions demonstrated repentance________________Senior Pastor, Solid Rock Church, DroghedaNational Overseer, Church of God, IrelandExecutive Director, Evangelical Alliance Irelandeaiseanchai.wordpress.com/

I am not Brad, but I would like to weigh in on this.I can profess to being a multi-millionaire but I still get up 5 days a week and go to work at a used car lot. BTW all used car salesmen are not liars but many are. Same as preachers, most are not, but some are________________Recorded Sermons @ http://www.pastorwiley.com
No, my question is not silly. Nor does it need to be reframed to say something else.My question is:A man is a murderer who commits incest and bestiality. He professes to have been saved, but still kills people and sleeps with his sister and his dog. Are you saying that he can expect to prosper because he is a child of God who is living by grace and enjoying new covenant blessings?
Brad really should have his own forum – he posts stuff, tells you the questions you ask, then tells you how silly your question is.Why does he need anyone else on his forum________________
Reading through the Psalms, you see an ongoing lament about the prosperity of the wicked vs. the struggle of the righteous. It’s something we all can relate to, and as I’ve made an effort to read Psalms daily, it has struck me as a strong recurring theme.

Brad,You didn’t answer it at all.Much like a politician – you said a lot of something – put out a lot of data – but appear incapable of parsing the data yourself and answering a simple question with a simple answer.Here it is again:
