The Biblical OLD PATH is God's will for men to TROD o walk in it

 
A picture depicting Job

Is it true that the OLD PATH was trodden by the wicked people?

This is the verse they are using: "Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?" (Job 22:15)

This is Eliphaz's conversation the Temanite to God's servant Job who for him that Job is trodding or walking continuously in the OLD PATH which the wicked men have trodden.

We should notice that the OLD PATH is not the one which is the wicked but the wickd men who are trodding/walking in the OLD PATH. If we will accept that Eliphaz is right in saying it to Job, we should accept that Eliphaz is right when he said that Job is continuing walking in the OLD PATH.

So Job the servant of God is continuously walking in the OLD PATH. Does it mean that when Job is trodding/walking in the OLD PATH which the wicked men have trodden is the OLD PATH is a wrong path?

NO! It is because It does not make it appear badly that wicked men walking in the OLD PATH.

For Example, If there is a wicked man in the city who was detained means that the city jail is evil?

So the right answer for it is NO! IT is because if there is a wicked in the prison detained is for wicked man to correct it in the prison. For the wicked to pay for his sins he committed. or for the wicked to stop doing wicked things. so the prison is called "CORRECTIONAL" because inside of it, the wicked is being corrected for him to be good. so it is not the reason why the OLD PATH which the wicked men have trodden is the OLD PATH is evil.

A drug addict is not becoming an addict the Rehab Center because there is a drug addict detained there. and also It does not make crazy the mental hospital it is because there are crazy people who are being cured there.

The proof that Job continuously walked in the OLD PATH: "Job 23:11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

"And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there." (Ecclesiastes 3:16)

In the place of judgment and place or righteousness there is wickedness so it is not because they are wicked in the place of righteousness is that place of righteousness is evil.

Now the question, Why the wicked men are trodding/walking the OLD PATH of the Bible and what is the reason?

"Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way." (Psalms 25:8)

It is God who will teach the sinners or the wicked men the WAY where they should walk in so it is God's will that the OLD PATH of the Bible was trodden/walked by the wicked men.

The question, Why it is God's will that the OLD PATH should be trodden/walk by the wicked people?

"Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls." (Jeremiah 6:16)

This is the reason why God wants to walk and teach the wicked in the WAY so that they will find the rest of his soul where God ordered to find and ask to the wicked the OLD PATHS where is the GOOD WAY and walk therein and you shall find rest for your souls.

Now that the GOOD WAY is no other than our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the WAY and the truth and life (read John 13:6, Colossians 2:6) and by Christ is you will the rest of our souls (read Matthew 11:28-29) by asking the OLD PATHS is we will find the GOOD WAY.

Now, Why OLD the WAY where we should find and walk?

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10)

This is the Way that God before ordained to walk so it's OLD and this are His instructions which are the Way of Life (read Proverbs 6:23)

The proof that the INSTRUCTIONS are Way of Life, This is what Lord Jesus said "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." (Matthew 19:17)

Now these commandments are not new but old COMMANDMENT "Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. " (1 John 2:7)

This Path is already old because it is on the time of Abraham this Path is already existing to be walked by his sons. This is the WAY OF THE LORD (read Genesis 18:19)


Now, There are people who wish to pervert this WAY. What God can say to these people?

"And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" (Acts 13:10)

It is the child of the devil who is the one unceasingly perverting the OLD PATH of the Bible.

"Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?" (Ezekiel 18:25)
