And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and escheweth evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. (Job. 2 : 3.) O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived, [marginal reading, enticed.] (Jer. 20 : 7.) Lead us not into temptation. (Mat. 6 : 13.) God Cannot Lie. God is not a man, that he should lie. (Num. 23 : 19.) It was impossible for God to lie. (Heb. 6 : 18.) God Lies; He Sends Forth Lying Spirits to Deceive. Ah, Lord God! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people. (Jer. 4 : 10.) Wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar? (Jer. 14 : 18.) For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. (2 Thes. 2 : 11.) Now, therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. (1 Kings 22 : 23.) Then God sent an evil spirit. (Judges 9 : 23.) And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet. (Ezek. 14 : 9.) Because of Man's Wickedness God Destroys him. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.... And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created. (Gen. 6 : 5, 7.) Because of Man's Wickedness God will Not Destroy him. And the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every living thing. (Gen. 8 : 21.) God's Attributes are Revealed in his Works. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead. (Rom. 1 : 20.) God's Attributes Cannot be Discovered. Canst thou, by searching, find out God? (Job. 11 : 7.) There is no searching of his understanding. (Is. 40 : 28.) There is but One God. The Lord our God is one Lord. (Deut. 6 : 4.) There is none other God but one. (1 Cor. 8 : 4.) There is a Plurality of Gods. And God said, Let us make man in our image. (Gen. 1 : 26.) And the Lord God said, Behold the man is become as one of us. (Gen. 3 : 22.) And the Lord appeared unto him [Abraham] in the plains of Mamre.... And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo, three men stood by him; and when he saw them he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, and said, My Lord, if now I have found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. (Gen. 18 : 1, 2, 3.) For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. (1 John 5 : 7.) MORAL PRECEPTS. Robbery Commanded.
