"The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart"
"Pharaoh hardened his heart"
"Pharaoh's heart was hardened"
This hardening was rather Pharaoh not hearkening to the word of God communicated. This already highlights that Pharaoh was exposed to a message but did not believe or hearken, and this is what the writer described as God hardening Pharaoh's heart when indeed it was Pharaoh who hardened his heart by not hearkening to the word of the Lord. This is a clear example of Metonymy, a figure of speech.

Only the sinless can condemn the sinner. And Satan is not sinless. That is why there is therefore now, no condemnation to all those in Christ. Because Jesus' sacrifice has liberated the believer from every guilt of sin.

There were two laws in reference to Moses, please don't miss this. The law of the Spirit of Life that speaks of Jesus, and the law of sin and death that describes their response to the law of the spirit of Life.

People seem to think that what Moses said and what Jesus said contradicted each other. But it never did. Jesus states clearly that this seeming disparity was a product of men's heart, that is, unbelief in what Moses actually wrote.

The law of sin and death is the law that lists out the sins of its audience (who were hardened in their heart) and the consequence. Sin will produce death, and this will be found in the heart of a man that is hardened towards the gospel.

In John 7:51, the word "law" in this context is used to describe the scriptures.
In John 10:33-34, the word "law" in this context was applied to doctrine or teaching, and it can also be used as prophecy and generally as the word of God.
#30DG2024#Soteria11#AbelDamina
The question to ask when the word "law" is seen should be:
"what was being explained or referred to by the writer"
The context of usage ought to be noted to determine the meaning of the word "law".
#30DG2024#Soteria11#AbelDamina
The word "law" was translated from the word "nomos" referring to a principle, teaching, command, instruction or doctrine. There is no generic use of the word "law" it is best understood within the context it is used.

The wrath of God is not directly from God but a way of describing what happens to a person who is in unbelief of the gospel. This person is away from what God offers, which is life and is now in death.

God is not a sadist, who makes bad things happen to people because they refuse to serve Him. Bad things happen to people that even serve Him. It is rather the goodness of God that a man who refuses to serve God will continue to receive until he is convinced in his heart to serve the Lord.
