1 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | coavrl1 | 112598 | ||
EdB... Thank you for your time and replies. You're right! The Exodus account doesn't change much if you believe the Bible is God's word and will hold it above all else in faith. My conviction, however, comes from holding that view with confidence against a world that thinks otherwise. My nephew and brother have spent a week telling me that the Bible has errors and is inaccurate or unbelievable and because I've asked questions like this, I know better. I was taught years ago by many men in my life to ask the hard questions and doing so gives me a great comfort. Not only is the God I follow real and His word truth, but I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT TRUTH! I can understand the quirky details and better yet, I can explain to others (like my brother and nephew) what God was doing and what power and passion that displayed when He did it. If God didn't intned for me to understand it, it would not be communication...God's word to man. But God didn't and I can...I can ask these hard questions and seek out answers. Similarly, I can ask how or why the Bible says one thing and Science says another. Well, science has holes and God doesn't. So, science has filled those holes and found the truth that God said was there in the first place. That same truth is stuff that I can find and that gives me a deeper view into who God is and what He's doing. If that's not how you work, I totally understand. Most people think my questions aren't worth the time, but I think otherwise and I'll keep looking. Though...if it's not going to excite anyone else, maybe not here. Thank you for your time and kind words. me |

I AM SO SORRY! I just read that again and realized that I came accross as rude and abnoxious. Please forgive me. That was not my intent. You can basically read those words as words I've written to myself time and time again as I've accepted thing that people told me and just went on about my day. I don't by it anymore, though. I need more information and right now, the different sides aren't weighing up so I'm looking for more answers. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME AND FOR YOUR TIME! By His GRACE and MERCY, Becca |

3 | What does 'Mountain of God' mean? | Ex 3:1 | coavrl1 | 112571 | ||
Thank you for your time. I don't, however, agree with that idea. I'm sorry...first of all, Mt. Sinai (as we have named it or recognize it as it was named by Constantine) is in Egypt and was then. If God led Israel "out of Egypt" that presents problems. I believe that you can follow the text to find Horeb/Mt. Sinai in Arabia as Paul referenced. (You can see more on this argument at www.baseinstitute.org) But...I think that there may be more to it. I'm just trying to figure it out. THANK YOU! | ||||||

To be totally blunt and absolutely frank, I disagree with you all. I think that that answer is a cop out. God created the earth, but along with man (who God also created and requires sanctification before God - Holy Spirit - can dwell within him) I believe that there needs to be some other explanation. Something that I'm considering is the possiblity that this was the "Mountain of God" because people may have worshiped there. I'm researching some verses on that currently. I hope that I'm not being abnoxious, but your answer doesn't fit the question perfectly and I think that if it's God's word, it needs to. Thank you for your time, though. Becca |

5 | Why is the ground declared holy? | Ex 3:5 | coavrl1 | 112536 | ||
Why is the ground holy? The land was cursed at the fall of man and everything else that has been touched by the course must be sanctified. Is it possible that this land was sanctified? If so, by what? Is it possible that it's connected to the name of the mountain as being "the mountain of God"? I, personally, don't believe that the presence of God is a valid answer because the temple had to be sanctified for God's presence to dwell there (Day of Atonement), so what makes this different? Is it? Questions...questions...questions...any answers? | ||||||

Mountain of God...what is this talking about? Was this known as a place where God met people or people worshiped God or did Moses name it later? | ||||||
