Generations of Noah (Grace and the Offender)

Recently in Generations of Noah (Grace and Probation)offend' so that we may gain a clearer understanding of what these actions consist of.

Definitions Merriam Webster
1. Offend: intransitive verb 1 a : to transgress the moral or divine law : SIN to violate a law or rule : do wrong *offend against the law* 2 a : to cause difficulty, discomfort, or injury *took off his shoe and removed the offending pebble* b : to cause dislike, anger, or vexation *thoughtless words that offend needlessly*
transitive verb 1 a : VIOLATE, TRANSGRESS b : to cause pain to : HURT 2 obsolete : to cause to sin or fall 3 : to cause to feel vexation or resentment usually by violation of what is proper or fitting *was offended by their language*

From the definition, Believers can now see the deeds that One must accomplish in order to be classified as a convicted offender. This person who is an offender must: transgress the moral or divine law, sin (offend: int. 1a), violate a law or rule, do wrong (offend: int. 1b), cause difficulty, discomfort, or injury (offend: int. 2a), cause dislike, anger, or vexation (offend: int. 2b), violate, transgress (offend: t.1a), cause pain to, or hurt (offend: t.1b), cause to sin or fall (offend: t. 2) and cause to feel vexation or resentment usually by violation of what is proper or fitting (offend: t. 3Genesis 6:11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.). The first thing that One will notice in this verse is that this is not your ordinary violence. This stems from the fact that this violence is so large in extent and quantity that it fills the whole earth. And if you will recall from Generations of Noah (Period)Violence: 1 a : exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse (as in warfare effecting illegal entry into a house) b : an instance of violent treatment or procedure 2 : injury by or as if by distortion, infringement, or profanation : OUTRAGE 3 a : intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force *the violence of the storm* b : vehement feeling or expression : FERVOR; also : an instance of such action or feeling c : a clashing or jarring quality : DISCORDANCE 4 : undue alteration (as of wording or sense in editing a textviolence' One will see what man has repeatedly done to violate his probation. Also, from the meanings, Believers will see the actions which define and form these violation. Man's violation has occurred because he is unabashedly using exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse (as in warfare effecting illegal entry into a house) (violence 1a). There is an ongoing instance of violent treatment or procedure (violence 1b). He has caused injury by or as if by distortion, infringement, or profanation, and outrage (violence 2). He is repeatedly using intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force (violence 3a). He is full of vehement feeling or expression and fervor (violence 3b), He is full of clashing or jarring qualities, and discordance (violence 3c), Finally, he has caused an undue alteration (as of wording or sense in editing a text) (violence 4).

Finally, we must understand that man is a convicted offender. And because of his reoccurring offences plus his unwillingness to change once confronted, he now remains in a state of perpetual probation. And because of this state of probation, he is assigned the spirit of the LORD as a probation officer. Man's probation officer cannot and will not force him to change his ways. His only responsibility is to watch and supervise him. Therefore, it is up to man to repent and change. For through the increased use of violence he violates that probation. And by violating that probation with impunity, he now places himself in danger of the execution of that original sentence.

"When thou seest increasingly great violence fill the land, know that the Judgement of the LORD is at hand"

Psalms 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Psalms 73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them [as] a garment.

Jeremiah 22:17 But thine eyes and thine heart [are] not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do [it].
