Rebellion

Isaiah 30:1 “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin;

Today is the same as it was at the time Deuteronomy was written. Nothing has changed when it comes to man’s rebellious nature.

“Have it your way!” only applies to food orders at Burger King.

Romans 3:20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

God’s law, not man’s.
