Wakuu habarini za jioni
Nipo napitia Bible hapa kuna kitu kimenitatiza kidogo
Swali langu..wakati mussa yupo mlima sinai akiwa anapokea amri za mungu.
Huku jamii alioiacha walianza kuchonga sanamu kuabudu
Je hawa watu walitenda dhambi? Kwa kuabudu miungu wengine
Sasa km walitenda dhambi...
Inakuwaje walitenda dhambi wakati kosa lilifanyika wakati sheria zinaandaliwa na walikuwa hawajui
Ahsanten ni hayo tu kwa leo
kwanza kabla sijakujibu jiulize, kabla ya Musa watu waliishije?Kaini alimuua ndugu yake na lilitambuliwa kama kosa,Nuhu alijitenga na uovu uliofanywa na watu wengine,how did he know kuwa walikuwa wanakosea,Sodoma na Gomora na mengine mengi yaliyokea kabla ya kushushwa kwa sheria pale Sinai.
Christianity has the answer for this question. I can spend the whole day trying to elaborate but unfortunately we don't have the whole day. This is a partial explanation.
Binadamu ameumbwa akiwa na sehemu tatu which are body, soul and spirit. This spirit wasn't created from anywere, it was the part of God's spirit that was breathed in us and gave us life. That spirit of GOD desire things of GOD all the time because it is part of him. The Soul and the body on the other hand desires things of the flesh (Mambo ya mwili) ambayo mara nyingi yanakinzana na mambo ya rohoni(ie Mungu).
So from this we know that understanding right from wrong didn't come from understanding the law.it comes from within and the people who allowed to be led by spirit were regarded as Good people and those who gave in into desires of their flesh were always seen as bad people since their actions most of the time led to causing pain or harm to other people.For instance even today in some societies which do not know about world religions they know that killing one another is not right.
According to the Bible, even those who died after the law was given regardless of their good status as the Bible present them to us. they didn't go to heaven, they simply went to paradise until Jesus Christ aliposhukia kizimu siku alipofuka na kwenda kuwafanya wawe righteous mbele ya macho ya Mungu kwa sababu wakati walipoishi walimtumainia Mungu na kumwamini hivyo kumwamini Kristu pia.(This is a very wide topic, we will leave this to another time).
in short this is one of the reasons why Jesus Christ came, to stop people from relying on keeping the law in hope of their salvation. He knew it is impossible for man to reach the standard of righteousness that GOD requires simply by keeping the law. he came and introduced The Holy Spirit who will dwell within those who believe in him(Jesus Christ), and this Holy Spirit will transform this man from inside out, changing his desire from those of the flesh and being led by the spirit and hence having the power over sin.
according to the Bible, WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW.
