So God gave us laws to live by knowing that it would be impossible for us to obey them all due to human nature God created? I can't buy that God is such a cruel trickster.
Are you blaming God for every wicked thing that you’ve done in your life?
You get to choose! Cool,huh!
You miss the point of the Law then.
God didn't give it to us to set the bar so high that nobody could reach it and then damn us for not being able to do what we can't.
The Law was given so that we would know when we sinned and that it would lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith as a free gift.
Galatians 2:15-21 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.
Luke 18:9-14 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’
But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
He wants people to throw themselves on the mercy of the court. Salvation is that easy, so, no, no *trickster* involved. God could not have made salvation easier for mankind to apprehend.
There is no command that is impossible for us to obey. We simply don't wish to obey them. God isn't a cruel trickster. We are simply ungrateful and rebellious of all the good things God has provided.
