EZEKIEL


Ezekiel 20:25-26

I GAVE THEM OVER TO WORTHLESS DECREES AND REGULATIONS THAT WOULD NOT LEAD TO LIFE. I LET THEM POLLUTE THEMSELVES WITH THE VERY GIFTS I HAD GIVEN THEM, AND I ALLOWED THEM TO GIVE THEIR FIRSTBORN CHILDREN AS OFFERINGS TO THEIR GODS—SO I MIGHT DEVASTATE THEM AND REMIND THEM THAT I ALONE AM THE LORD.




IF I READ EZEKIEL RIGHT
GOD GAVE MAN BAD LAWS
WHICH LED MEN TO SACRIFICE
THEIR FIRST CHILD

WHO SPOKE FOR THE CHILD

1 SAMUEL 15:3
NOW GO, ATTACK THE AMALEKITES AND TOTALLY DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT BELONGS TO THEM. DO NOT SPARE THEM; PUT TO DEATH MEN AND WOMEN, CHILDREN AND INFANTS, CATTLE AND SHEEP, CAMELS AND DONKEYS.

IF IT IS WRONG FOR NAZIS TO ERADICATE A RACE
WHY IS IT RIGHT FOR THE ISRAELITES

WHO SPOKE FOR THE AMALEKITES

GENESIS 22:2

THEN GOD SAID, "TAKE YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON, ISAAC,
WHOM YOU LOVE, AND GO TO THE REGION OF MORIAH.
SACRIFICE HIM THERE AS A BURNT OFFERING
ON ONE OF THE MOUNTAINS I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT."


SHOULD A FATHER EVER KILL HIS SON
WHEN THE SON IS JUSTIFIED

WHO SPOKE FOR ISAAC

GENESIS 4:5
BUT ON CAIN AND HIS OFFERING
HE DID NOT LOOK WITH FAVOR.
SO CAIN WAS VERY ANGRY,
AND HIS FACE WAS DOWNCAST


I WOULD LIKE TO INCLUDE CAIN
BUT HE GAVE OF SOME OF THE FRUITS OF THE FIELD
WHILE ABEL GAVE THE BEST OF THE FLOCK

I CHOOSE THREE
THERE MAY BE MORE

PERHAPS THESE WORDS WERE MEANT TO BE RESISTED
PERHAPS THEY WERE A TEST
NOT OF OBEDIENCE
BUT LIVING THE LAW

SHOULD ABRAHAM HAVE SAID
KILLING IS WRONG
SHOULD THE SOLDIERS HAVE SAID
KILLING IS WRONG
SHOULD THE FATHERS HAVE SAID
KILLING IS WRONG

ARE WE CALLED TO BE GOD’S CONSCIENCE

HOW ABOUT JOB’S CHILDREN
NOW I HAVE FOUR

WHO SPOKE FOR THEM

HEAVY THOUGHTS
FOR SOMEONE NEAR HEAVEN’S GATE

I DON'T THINK GOD WILL MIND
MY ASKING
WHY
