“Obviously liberty and God have nothing to do with each other; that's a misguided attempt to fuse politics and religion.” -Another TownHall Classic

Have some men forgotten or have they never heard of Israel’s release from Egyptian bondage by the hand of Moses? Did Moses bring the ten plagues on Egypt and part the Red Sea or did Jehovah deliver the people through Moses?
Moses spoke to the people of Israel of another prophet who was to come…
“The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear…I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him. [Deuteronomy 18:15-19]
Now that the One greater than Moses has come, will He not do greater works than Moses?
What about the New Covenant? A multiple of men that no man can number from every nation, Jew and Gentile, have been redeemed by the prophet who became priest and offered up His own blood for the atonement of sin once for all. He makes great promises to His people: they all shall know God even to the least of them; they all shall receive the forgiveness of sins and the righteousness of God through faith alone; they all shall know the truth and the truth will make them free. This is the substance of which Moses was a type. Real liberty is the freedom from the bondage of a sinful heart. God demonstrates His power in grace in each one who hears the words of the prophet who became king with all authority given to Him for the good of His people.
But the darkness of unbelief and ignorance is with us still, and unbelieving men do greater err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God...
“…if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?” [John 5:46-47]
