Deuteronomy 30:15
→Bible→Old Testament→Deuteronomy
15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: . . .
Cited by Bro Ken Drage in A Plain Man looks at Evolution:
I no longer saw the origin of death in the terms of Paradise Lost. The two trees in the garden stood for the choice facing, not only Adam, but, all mankind, a life lived in a relationship with God which would allow us to escape death or inevitable fulfilment of our mortality when rejecting him and relying on self. It is a choice not just in the garden but repeated throughout the Bible, no better presented than by Moses on behalf of God, ‘I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil’, Deuteronomy 30:15 and ‘fury and great wrath’ (Deuteronomy 29:28) if the wrong path is chosen. It is the broad and narrow paths presented in the Sermon of the Mount. . . .
