Points of Contention

There are a number of objections that God makes here with respect of His People.

Ezekiel 23:37
“That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.”
– this was totally the opposite to ‘children being an inheritance’.
– are we sacrificing investment in our childrens lives because of our involvement in worldly activities?

Ezekiel 23:40
“And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,”
– a reminder that sin can be very attractive. Ultimately though, regardless of how much glamour our lives are marked by if the attractiveness is not attractive to God then it is all in vain

Ezekiel 23:38
“Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.”
– Two further exceptions here
1.relating to The House of God
2.relating to The Day of God
