Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed, that thy house,
and the house of thy father, should walk before me forever; but now the
Lord saith, Be it far from me.... Behold, the days come that I will cut
off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house. (1 Sam. 2 : 30, 31.)
In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah,
the son of Amoz, came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord,
Set thy house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.... And it
came to pass afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the
word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Turn again and tell Hezekiah,
the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, ... I have heard thy
prayer, ... and I will add unto thy days, fifteen years. (2 Kings 20 :
1, 4, 5, 6.)
And the Lord said unto Moses, Depart and go up hence, thou and the
people.... For I will not go up in the midst of thee.... And the
Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing, also, that thou hast
spoken.... My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee
rest. (Ex. 33 : 1, 3, 17, 14.)
God is Just and Impartial.
The Lord is upright, ... and there is no unrighteousness in
him. (Ps. 92 : 15.)
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? (Gen. 18 : 25.)
A God of truth, and without iniquity, just and right is he. (Deut.
32 : 4.)
There is no respect of persons with God. (Rom. 2 : 11.)
Ye say the way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel;
is not my way equal? (Ezek. 18 : 25.)
He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth
the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Love ye, therefore,
the stranger. (Deut. 10 : 18, 19.)
God is Unjust and Partial.
Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his
brethren. (Gen. 9 : 25.)
For I, the Lord thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the
fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. (Ex.
20 : 5.)
For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or
evil, that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand,
... it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it
is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. (Rom. 9 : 11,
12, 13.)
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more
abundance; but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even
that he hath. (Mat. 13 : 12.)
Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself; thou shalt give
it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or
thou mayest sell it unto an alien. (Deut. 14 : 21.)
And David spake unto the Lord when he saw the angel that smote the
people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly; but
these sheep, what have they done? (2 Sam. 24 : 17.)
God is Not the Author of Evil.
The law of the Lord is perfect.... The statutes of the Lord are
right.... The commandment of the Lord is pure. (Ps. 19 : 7, 8.)
God is not the author of confusion. (1 Cor. 14 : 33.)
