Clobber Passages

I heard difficult Bible passages referred to as “clobber passages”. I contend that most if not all clobber passages are not there to clobber us at all, but rather to put safety rails around us.

This past year I recall a woman falling to her death taking a selfie some where. Maybe the Grand Canyon. There are many places we have been where there are no safety tailing or people go beyond the safety rail and fall to their deaths many times.

Gos Word is a safety rail for us. It’s written out of love, like any good parent would, to tell their child and warn them of the dangers to come. By clobber them over the head.

We should love Gods instructions. We should appreciate His boundaries. We should earnestly desire to do life His way. Whether you want to believe it or not, sin equals death here and later for the person who fails to be in relationship with Jesus. Jesus is the way, truth and the life and there is no way to life other than trough Him.

Do it His way and live, or reject Him and die. It’s your choice.
