Old testament survey!

God, The Father's, identity, who is God?, what is His nature?, it has Never changed!

• God is love ( 1 Jn 4:8 )- He has, and will always be love; God never changed, MEN changed, ( Mal 3:6; Heb 1:12: 13:8 ), so He had to have a progressive agenda after the fall ( Gens 3:15 );
• 2 truths- 1. It is God's will that none perish, but ALL, repent ( 2 Pet 3:9 ); 2. God hath put in EVERY human his Godhead knowledge that is CLEARLY seen, so all are without excuse ( Rom 1:18-20 ); MOST IMPORTANT PART of Old testament- Must be read through the lenses of Jesus unveiling, and through the perspective of your inner man ( Jn 5:39; 2 Cor 3:14; Rom 7:22 );
• God is good ( Gens 1:31 )- God is, and always will be good, He created things good, and men brought disorder in the world;
• ( 2 Cor 13:14 )- Grace of Lord Jesus, love of God, communion of Holy Spirit; there is your Godhead roles;
• GODHEAD, TRINITY, THREE IN ONE-( Gens 1:26; 11:7; Zech 4:14 )- Trinity, word trinity not in Bible, just means 3, Godhead ( Rom 1:20; Col 2:9 ), 3 in one, verses in old testament; Godhead explained- There is ONE God ( Mal 2:10; Mk 12:32; Eph 4:6; 1 Cor 8:6; 1 Tim 2:5 ), in THREE persons ( 1 Jn 5:7 ; Jn 14; 14:26; 15:26; Jn 16; 16:7-15; Matt 28:19; 2 Cor 13:14; ); All different roles, SAME nature; Ex- Ice, water, vapor- same element, three different forms; Ex- egg white, yoke, shell- same element three different forms; Ex- person that plays hockey, football, basketball- same person, three different responsibilities;
• God's nature is good, not Bad He CAN'T SIN ( Gen 1:31 ); Just like, I CAN'T  Be 6'10, and white, it's not my nature, so if you asked me to fill out an application, and check my race as white, and my height as 6'10, I can't, because it's not my nature; What's my point, since God CAN'T SIN, sin HAS to be paid for, or it WILL NOT be God's nature, and Jesus paid it ( Gal 3:13 ); So if YOU, don't accept the punishment for sin, Jesus, that MEN BROUGHT into the world ( Rom 5:18; Gens 2-3 ), NOT God, then you will suffer consequences eternally, because He is just!, that He takes NO PLEASURE in doing ( Ezek 33:11 ); He is Just, and He redeemed what MEN caused; God is the HELP, NOT the problem!
• God is for you, NOT against you; God so LOVED the world ( people, not system ) ( Jn 3:16; Gens 1:26 )
• God made EVERYTHING PERFECT ( Gens 1:31 ); MEN disordered it ( Gens 2-3 ); God redeemed it ( Gens 3:15; Jn 3:16 )
• If it's good, it's God ( Gens 1:31 ); if it's bad it the devil ( 1 Jn 3:8 );
• 1. MERCY- Before Law ( Rom 5:13 )
• 2- JUDGMENT - During law ( Gal 3:24 )
• 3- Grace - Jesus ( Titus 2:11-12 )
• ( 1 Cor 10:6-11 )- Old testament stories were recorded for our example to learn from 
• THE BAD- ( Amos 3:7 )- God Always warned nations, BEFORE destroying them, and always promised restoration to his people ( Jer 30 );
• THE BAD- Where is the love in destroying? If would have let go, we as a human race would of destroyed each other ( Gens 6:5 ); God's severity, judgment, always saved  something else from happening; ( Rom 11:22; Ps 99:4 )- With God there is severity, and judgment, also righteousness, and goodness! Sin has to be paid for, Old Testament it wasn't yet, still everyone without excuse ( Rom 1:18-20 ), New testament, Jesus paid for it all ( Isa 53 );
• THE BAD- God destroyed people in Old testament! True, but it was a curse ( Deut 27:26 ), because they couldn't keep all the law, but Jesus has redeemed believers from curse ( Gal 3:13 ); and never willingly ( Lam 3:33 ), but because of their actions!, but promised redemption ( Isa 43 );
• THE BAD- The law worked God's wrath, because it was conditional with actions, but believers are not under the law, but under grace ( Rom 4:15; 6:14 ); people did this to themselves ( Hos 13:9 );
• Biggest difference from old, New testament ( Heb 1:1 )- God wasn't able to communicate spirit to Spirit ( 1 Cor 2; Jn 16:12-13; Col 1:27 ); so spoke through symbolic things; bushes, clouds, lay on side to symbolize years, etc; He had to work from outside, in, law, because Jesus hadn't come, and died, and resurrected yet for the Holy Spirit to live in believers, grace ( Jn 16:7 ) to work inside, out, and reveal things to them from Spirit to spirit; Natural man without spirit can't receive from God ( 1 Cor 2:14; Eph 3:5 ); Must read old testament through lenses of Jesus, and inner man perspective ( 2 Cor 3:14; Jn 5:39; Rom 7:22 );
• spirit, temporarily entered into men, when accomplishing things in old testament ( Ezek 2:2-3; Ps 51:11 );

QUESTIONS?, Before we get into questions concerning how God has, is, will operate, remember; 1. It is God's WILL, that NONE should perish ( 2 Pet 3:9 ); 2. God has put His FULL revelation of His nature, into EVERY human born, so they are without excuse ( Rom 1:18-20 );

• How can a loving God, send someone to hell that never heard the gospel in a far country? He won't, God reveals, and shows,  EVERYONE who, has, and will be born, the knowledge of Him, so EVERYONE is without excuse; God will judge those that never heard the gospel, by the knowledge that He put in them at birth; ( Rom 1:18-20 )
• If God knew people would not choose Him, then why create them just to go tell hell? Even though He knows, people still have a choice ( Deut 30:19 ), and to God, the people that are going to heaven, because of CHOOSING to accept Jesus, those people to God it's worth it! People in hell will continue to hate God there as well; They got what they wanted, no God, which what hell is;
• But if God knows person won't choose Him, then why not just create people He know will choose Him? Because God has a seed, harvest law, that produces after its own kind ( Gens 1:11 ), so if God pick, and chose people according to knowing there life or not, then He would have to violate the seed, harvest law for everything, food, fruit, etc, and He CAN'T violate His laws; ( Ps 89:34 );
• Why didn't God send redemption, Jesus, right away? Not because of God needing time, but again, men needing a progress time, to first KNOW God, then God had to establish himself a people on earth, Jews, to establish, teach, keep, His nature, laws, of His expectations; Then, so people can realize, they alone CAN'T keep His nature, He had to make people realize they need a Savior; Then, acknowledge people of this Savior coming, and what will happen; All of this He had to find PEOPLE that would cooperate with Him, in doing these things! That took time ( Gal 4:4; Eph 1:10 );
• JEWS- They destroyed THEMSELVES, but still, their help was in God ( Hos 13:9 )
•  All law in old testament was for JEWS ONLY ( Rom 2:14; 3:19 ); Gentiles before Christ went off of their intuitive knowledge by God ( Rom 1:18-20 ) and their conscience ( Rom 2:15-16 ); you can as gentiles use laws in old testament for moral guidance, or good ONLY, but God NEVER related to gentiles as He did with Jews; ( Jonah )- Nineveh, and other non Jewish nations was reap what sow result, not law of God result
• Reading the old testament stories of Bible hero's, they are there for you, and every story you can believe God can do that for you, because He is no respect of persons ( Acts 10:34; Rom 2:11 );
• Reading the old testament curses, you can read them in ( Deut 28:15-66 ), and compare all of those to ( Gal 3:13-14 )- Christ has redeemed believers from those all!

GODS names ( Jehovahistic names ) in old testament, hasn't changed! Jesus said He only does what He sees His Father do while God in the flesh ( Jn 5:19; 1 Tim 3:16 );
