"It Could Happen" -Too

"When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin." (Psalms 109:7)

 If you have been following this blog for any length of time, then you might have noticed that I like to make a play on the numbers of the chapters and verses; the number six is the number of man, the number seven is of God, and the number eight is new beginnings, and so on. In that line of thinking, I was wondering how this might somehow fall into that playbook. Anywho, this verses is one that speaks of something certain, as in, there is a finality to judgement and communication has been cut off. The word "sin" used in the verse is that of an offense, as in, 'How could you bring this sin against me?' or 'How could you make them sin such a great sin?' There is no way that we can ask forgiveness from the grave, David himself wrote about that in a previous Psalm; and once we are dead, all chances of repentance for sin is over. But this could also be speaking of something altogether different; something along the lines of condemnation before death, where prayer is not received because it is offensive to God. That is the part about us knowing what God wants, that we do not make the way to God, it is God's way or nothing! And God's way is through His Son, Christ Jesus. If someone is offended by that command, then they are condemned and their prayers are offensive to God, period! I am not speaking about those that don't know or have not been told; and even if they have been told but not yet received Him, they still can get through to God in prayer. That is not something that everyone believes, because there are some that don't think God listens to anyone that is not already one of His children. Which, if you stop and think about that, it is absurd, because His children have already been chosen before the foundations of the world! So how do we know who is and who is not one of God's children? Oh, that's easy. If you know what God wants and you agree to do it His way, then you are one of His children; if you are offended by that, then maybe you are not; and in that case, you are already condemned and your prayers are offensive to God. I wouldn't want to die in your condition...

""For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."" (John 3:16-18) KJV
