As per Investigation Report #4
Sunny Oh Tau Fu, (IR#4)who work as an airforce marshall, is ready to shoot at any CSI team member on sight for concluding their findings that transformation took place while both Sarah and Abraham were sinning against God. Abraham, instead of providing protection to his wife, cowardly ran away from his duty as the head of the house. He selfishly told the half truth to protect his own life. Sarah, however, have to ask Abraham to sleep with Hagar, though it is not an act of audultery as the culture at that time permits, but is an act of defying God's word. She wanted to help God to fulfill His word, implying Man is bigger than God. God needs Man's help to do His job. God is so SMALL. SMALLER than MAN.
In Short: YES. YES. YES.........But that does not mean that God is encouraging Sin. And Sin will not go unpunished. All sins must be punished. And God is not encouraging Sin.
This is confusing but if we look for examples in the Bible, we can find many examples where God does many miracles even when people are sinning against Him. This is a material fact that we need to study before we can grasps the full understanding of His Grace and Mercy
I pen below some examples that I can think off. But I encourage you to search the scriptures to find other examples to confirm this material fact yourself.
1. Even though the Jews in Egypt were sinning by praying to foreign Gods, God still send Moses to bring them out of Egypt
2. Moses did not obey God's command to speak to the rock. Instead he hit the rock with his own rod twice. Water came out flowing from the rock despite that fact that Moses did not follow God's instruction.
Num 20:11 And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
Num 20:12 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
3. The lady with internal bleeding ( Mat 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: ) was sinning all the way as she moves in crowded places to reach to Jesus. She is unclean and should stay away from the crowds. (Lev 15:19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. )
4. The people murmured against the anointed one.
Exo 15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, what shall we drink? Exo 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
Exo 16:2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: Exo 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Exo 17:3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Despite the murmurs, the people and the children got what they wanted. Bread, sweat water and water respectively.
5. Paul is known as the Father Of Terrorist in the Bible. He burns churches, kills believers and separated children from their parents. But yet he himself has the boldness to say that he is innocent of anyone’s blood (Act 20:26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all of you, ). Paul has the most revelation in the bible. He wrote two third if not more of the New Testament.
Yes, there are more biblical verses that can show God did not punished like he did in the following verses ( earthquake, plague, fire etc):-
Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
Num 16:35 And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. (250)
Num 16:49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. (14,700)
2Sa 6:7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
Lev 10:1 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.
Lev 10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
2Sa 24:15 So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men. (17,000)
It is important that believers can see clearly from the above that God does not encourage sin. Sin must be punished and is adequately punished at the Cross. Yes, our sins are all adequately punished at the cross.
Romom 5:17 For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
.
Our righteousness is a FREE GIFT. We don’t have to earn it. We don’t have to keep all the laws in the Bible (613 laws) to be righteous. We only have to accept it as a FREE GIFT.
Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous
Notice, it is not our obedience of keeping the laws that made us righteous. No, not at all. It is Jesus obedience that made us righteous.
God is a just God. He is fair. It is because of Adam fall that we are doom. Thus to avoid this severe punishment, God send his only son to die for us. Adam is the first king of human race. Likewise, Jesus is the first born King of the new creation. A king to die for a king. Isn’t this fair? No ordinary person can die to pay for the debt that was caused by a king (Adam)
It is also important to note that no sin can be punished twice. If a sin is punished twice, we have an unfair God administering Justice. In the legal fraternity, lawyers will call this DOUBLE JEOPARDY. Our sins are adequately dwelt with at the CROSS. Those who have seen the show Passion of Christ, will remember a scene where Jesus was lying flat on the ground after been severely beaten by two Roman soldiers. Jesus, however gather whatever strength left inside Him to stand up again to take more beatings. That surprises the two Roman soldiers. They change their whipping gear to a claw ripping whips.
To many of us, we were crying out loud inside our heart………. Stay down Jesus. Stay down. Play dead. But yet, Jesus have to stand up and take the beatings. Those beatings that rip his skin were all taken for our sins.
It is also important to note that those beatings that Jesus took, has yet to occur. Our sins did not take place 2,000 years ago. Our sins only happen when we are borne. Our sins are future sins. Yes, our sins are future to the day He died at the cross. He took the beatings for our sins that have yet to take place. He died for our future sins. All our sins, yesterday, today and tomorrow were all punished 2,000 years ago.

Dear Michael,
You interestingly point out a key point that may worth a CSI investigation team to investigate.
Why is God punishing people severely at one end and the other end, he closes his eyes. For example, there were people murmuring and complaining against Moses, but nothiing happen.
(Exo 15:24 And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? Exo 15:25 And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
Exo 16:2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: Exo 16:4 Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Exo 17:3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?)
On the other end, people complain and they face the wrath of God. Plaques, fire smoth them, earth open up and eat them up etc etc.Num 16:32 And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
Num 16:35 ,Num 16:49 , 2Sa 6:7 , Lev 10:1 , Lev 10:2 , 2Sa 24:15
Why? Is God biase? An unfair God?

Today doctors do not take the oath of Asclepios. If you check with the local doctors and most of the doctors in the world, the oath they take is not an Asclepios oath. Although mostly of historical and traditional value, the oath is considered a rite of passage for practitioners of medicine, although it is not obligatory and no longer taken up by all physicians. Derivations of the oath have modified over the years in various countries, schools, and societies as the social, religious, and political importance of medicine has changed. Most schools administer some form of oath, but the great majority no longer use the original version. Also missing from the ancient Oath and from many modern versions are names of ancient Greek Gods.
Those who teach others that the doctors still undertake the Asclepios oath that is normally called the Hippocratic Oath are deceiving others. Do you give up Christ if you see a priest committing adultery? Do you throw away a basket of apple if you find one apple bad in the basket? The same, most medical faculties no longer practice the Hippocratic Oath. That does not mean, if it is previously done so, or a few are still doing now, you reject them.
The extreme teachings are believers who are holding narrowly to the word medicine as pharmakion. Pharmaikion is found in G5332 pharmakeus far-mak-yoos'
From φάρμακον pharmakon (a drug, that is, spell giving potion); a druggist (“pharmacist”) or poisoner, that is, (by extension) a magician: - sorcerer.
You can say physician or doctors use medicine. Medicine includes drugs. Some drugs are also used by sorcerer. And because of this subset of drugs that also appear in the sorcerer’s menu, the extreme believers and teachers rule physician are the same like sorcerers. They do so believing they are doing this for God. They give us an image that their standards are higher than norm and it must be so for GOD. They are the extreme teachers that rely on their flesh to perform to impress God. But God cannot be fool. God sees flesh righteousness (flesh in action) as filthy rags (Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. )
What these extreme teachers are teaching are very dangerous. They are adding words into God’s mouth. They believe that God is limited in His vocabulary. They are saying that sorcerers and doctors (physicians) are the same type. They will be thrown down to the fire. They quoting Rev 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. “
Their own version are as follows :-
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers and physicians, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
These extreme teachers are adding the word PHYSICIANs into God’s word. These extreme teachers believe they need to help God to bring up the standard of Holiness. (They are like Sarai wanting to help God to fulfill His promise by instructing Abram to sleep with Hagar. ) But they do not realize or refuse to realize that they are interfering into God’s word and they refuse to acknowledge Revelation 22:18 and Prov 30:6
Rev 22:18 “I, John, solemnly warn everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: if any add anything to them, God will add to their punishment the plagues described in this book.”
Pro 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
In Revised King James Version, the word “physician” is mention 6 times (Jer 8:22, Mat 9:12, Mar 2:17, Luk 4:23, Luk 5:31, Col 4:14) and the plural word of “physicians” is mention 5 times in the bible prior to the book of Revelation (Gen 50:2, 2Ch 16:12, Job 13:4, Mar 5:26, Luk 8:43)
If God wants to throw Physician to the lake of fire, he would have mention Physician in Rev 21:8. If he did not mention it, it is because He will not throw Doctors into the lake of fire. If the does not throw doctors into the lake of fire, He will likewise not throw patients of these doctors into fire.
These extreme teachers and believers are policing and enforcing that doctors and sorcerer will be thrown to fire. They believe all Christian believers must follow strictly to these LAWS. They do not see that we do have baby Christians and strong Adult Christians. They do not make allowance for Baby Christians that are still drinking milk and cannot eat meat.
If we are baby Christians we have not master the word RIGHTEOUSNESS. (Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskillfull in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.)
If we cannot master the word Righteousness, we will not have the blessing specified in Jas 5:16 ………. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. When we pray we will not necessarily have the desire results.
Yes, Jesus did not ask the lepers to see a doctor when He healed them. Likewise, Jesus did not ask those who are poor to stop becoming fishermen after blessing them with a board sinking net of catch. Do you stop working when you know our Lord is rich and will take care of you as you are worth much more than the birds. In Mat 6:26 Look at the birds in the sky. They don't plant or harvest or gather food into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. You are more valuable than they are, aren't you? Do you behave like a bird that to don’t plant and harvest?
What you believe will decide your standing in Christ. If you believe in His words, He will move into action. Doctors help many non believers to survive. They give us the chance to reach to non believers that are sick before they die without hearing the word. If they die without hearing the word, they are not saved. If doctors are bad, why are they are serving and praying for God’s plan to reach to those poor countries in Africa.
If we reject Doctors, we should continue that trend of thoughts and behave that way all the way till the end. For example we should walk on waters and not take boat. We should calm the waters and do away with fancy ship equipments that warn us of bad weathers. We should be like Jesus calming the waters if we encounter storm in our journey. We should be like Philip, moving from one continent to another continent by just walking. Don’t take plane and pollute the world with fossil fuel. Sell your cars and don’t even take public transports. Don’t work but multiply fish and bread to feed thousands. Don’t work to pay tax but just go and take it out from a fish mouth.
Conclusion: You can see doctors and seek God’s healing. Nothing wrong. You can seek solely God’s healing if you want. What is key is that you believe you are Righteous by faith. Abraham believes he is accorded the righteous by God. He did not believe God’s promise that the will be father of many. In fact he felt to the ground and laugh at God. The same is true with Sarah. She laughed and told God a lie that she did not laugh. But both confess God’s word. Both called out Abraham (Father of Many) and Sarah (Princes) everyday.
Those are God given words. The word was with God and Word is God(John1:1) . And the Word became Flesh (John1:14). Each time they confess the Word, the Word goes into action and became flesh. Restored Abraham and Sarah ‘s body to bear a child called Isaac. Sarah flesh turns into a young and beautiful lady that King Abimelech wanted her to be his harem. Sarah was so beautiful even when she is above 91 years old. Yes, so beautiful that Abraham was afraid to call her wife. Instead Abraham called her sister.
What do you want to believe?
