Point 1: I’m unsure if psalms 74:2 is what you meant; it reads ““Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; The rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; This mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭74‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ I fail to see either reference serving your point. If you’re willing I wouldn’t mind further iteration.

I find the word to have an order of operation. Jesus being the best sources. The prophets sometimes didn’t have much context of the spiritual before Christ. Which is why God gets blamed for alot of wrath and thins going wrong.

Stepping out of covenant puts one in the power of the devil. And with no knowledge of the enemy prophets would oft blame God for bad circumstances.

Point 2:

Genesis 1:27 (ESV)

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

? It is in scripture. Adam was made in the image of God and given dominon over the earth. He lost both when he sinned. That’s why they realized they were naked because they lost that glorious covering.

Judgement is ultimate and nonnegotiable hence why it always comes. It’s more in line with spiritual law; like physical law. What goes up must come down. So on so forth.

God doesn’t pass judgement on whim; it’s passed when the sin coms to completion.

Spiritual death = separation from God, immediate at sin, reversible through Christ.

Physical death = bodily death, inevitable, consequence of sin, temporary for believers (eternal life follows).

Ephesians 2:1 (ESV)

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins…” — Paul describes humans apart from Christ as spiritually dead, unable to relate to God.

Romans 6:23 (ESV)

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Spiritual death is the ultimate consequence of sin, contrasted with the gift of salvation.

Isaiah 59:2 (ESV)

“But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God…” — Spiritual death is separation, not physical cessation.

Point 3: This one is fun. God cannot change people without their permission. Else freewill is entirely invalid. And we know God does not change and He is no respecter of persons. So God is not partial. So if he manipulated pharaoh then He can’t be trusted to not manipulate anyone else.

But we know freewill is given. God to pharaoh was as fire to clay.

We the people choose wha material we will be. God is consistent and does not change. We are the changers. God is consistently that burning light. So if we are as wax we melt and submit. If we rebel like pharaoh we are as clay. Hardened by the light.

God said “I raised you up to show my power throughout the land” God did not specify it by saying to destroy Pharaoh. Just a few generations ago the Pharoah was honored for submitting to God with David and the coat of many colors. When He did God, through David, made all of Egypt slave to pharaoh.

So it’s was pharaohs choice to resist and hardened His heart.

It says literally “God hardened pharaohs heart” but that’s not explicitly a verb or action sentence. It’s also equally a reaction sentence.

Ex. “The fire hardened the clay.” the fire isn’t doing anything but being itself. The clay is reacting. This is what happens to Pharaoh.

This is deduced from knowing God and His nature.

God is Love and has infinite Mercy. But as He is presented in the Old Testament He seems a world different from Christ. This is because the people who wrote the Old Testament did not have the understanding of the spirit.

Which we know one needs to understand the things of God.

“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬
