What the Lord did not commandLeviticus 10:1-2; Psalm 19:13; 2 Peter 2:9-10

Leviticus 10:1-2 (kjv)And Nadab and Abihu, the

sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. 2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.

Psalm 19:13Keep back Your servant also

from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression.

2 Peter 2:9-10The Lord knows how to

deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, 10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries…

Proverbs 2:16-17 (kjv)To deliver thee from the

Matthew 19:9“And I say to you, whoever

•STRANGE DOCTRINESForeign to the Apostle’s Doctrine

Hebrews 13:9; Galatians 1:6-9; 1 Timothy 1:3-4

Hebrews 13:9 (kjv)Be not carried about with

divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Galatians 1:6-9I marvel that you are turning away

so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, 7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

1 Timothy 1:3-4As I urged you when I went

into Macedonia--remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

God’s word becomes STRANGE to us when we “refuse knowledge”

“My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4:6)

“I have written to him [Ephraim] the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.” (Hosea 8:12) (KJV)
