Aaron's sons died because they offered strange fire. That is what the Scriptures state. There, of course, is debate on what was wrong. To sum up, they were in the service of God in his Holy temple. They did something to render themselves unclean and therefore dead. Whether they did so with malace, or they made a bad mistake with good intentions is irrelevant (otherwise it would say.) The fact is, they made a mistake where one should not make one. Imedaiatly following this event we learn about clean and unclean, leaving some to assume they did something to render themselves "unholy" in a holy place. Our God is a consuming fire (as the book of Hebrews remindes us). It is a dangerous thing to fall into the hands of a holy God. It is dangerous to serve God on Earth in His Holy Tabernacle when He is present. I hope that helps some. MJH (Sorry, I don't have spell check) |

Greetings MJH You did just fine without spell check!! First of all, let me thank you for your explanation of your previous post (I'm a Sabbath person :o) ). I just wanted to add to this subject my 2cents - Lev. 10:1 says that Nadab and Abihu took fire and incense (which appears to be fire and incense from somewhere other than the God-ordained altars) and my Bible reads that "each took his censor" which leads me to believe that possibly the censors were their own to be used in their homes, again a thing that God did not tell them to do. Mostly, though, look at verses 8-11 - it appears that these men went before the Lord in a drunken state....??? It's not so much that they got drunk, it's that they got drunk and then went before the Lord to do service to Him of their own accord. So it looks like they missed it big time - unholy fire, unholy incense, unholy utensils, and unholy behaviour. You think? :o) Cheri |

It's been awhile since I studied this text and I remember discussing the possibilities of what might have happened. Since at that time we did not have a definitive answer, I choose to answer what I did know at the very least. I’m not in a place at this time on this forum to speculate . Even facts, those stubborn things, get me in trouble. However, your note is the very kind of small group discussion that I am so fond of and remember well. I've been away for 6 months and I miss it. Thanks for the added info. MJH |

MJH, Yeah, it gets me into trouble too. But that's OK. It keeps the God-given mind active and alive, open to possibilities (and also teaches gobs of humility when you get it wrong). :o) Cheri |
