Unintended Consequences in the Bible With every sin comes a consequence‚ whether the sin is intended or not. There are many different examples of consequences linked with sin. For example‚ the story of Adam and Eve is very well heard of. It shows perfect examples of unintended consequences because of sin. Another good example would be the story of Moses and Golden Calf. In both stories‚ there are consequences from God because they disobeyed him. First‚ the story of Adam and Eve is a great example

The gospels of the New Testament are regarded as some of the most sacred and important text in Christianity. They are included: Mark‚ Matthew‚ Luke‚ and John. It is accepted that Mark was written first and then Matthew and Luke were written afterward around the same time.

Jesus lived his life like other men in regards to eating‚ sleeping‚ tiring and was even emotional

The Old Testament ends with the prophets. These teachers provided insight on many issues facing Jews who were desperate to know God. Idolatry‚ social injustice and religious ritualism are three areas that are emphasized in their teachings and instilled in the minds and hearts of believers today.
