Abusing the word of God

It was deceitfully challenged by that old serpent.

• Yea, hath God said… Genesis 3:1

It was violently broken by the angry servant Moses.

• ...Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. Exodus 32:19

It was ignorantly forgotten by the Jewish leaders.

• And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the Lord. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it. 2 Kings 22:8

It was unscrupulously marred by King Jehoiakim.

• And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. Jeremiah 36:23

It was effectively sterilized by accumulated tradition.

• making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Mark 7:13

It was foolishly mocked by Gentile philosophers.

• And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked... Acts 17:32

but the word of God is not bound. 2 Timothy 2:9

but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. 1 Peter 1:25
