1 | In Numbers 22:22 why was God angry with | Num 22:12 | Biffbt | 214853 | ||
I know this is a late response to this question, but I've always wondered the same thing. In Numbers 22:20, according to the KJV, God tells Balaam, "If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them;" I think the key word is IF. Then, the very next verse, 21 "And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab." I believe that Balaam went out to find them in his greediness, instead of following God's directions exactly, and waiting until they approached him again. Hope this helps! |

2 | Need better explanation on Ex21:24, etc. | Matt 5:1 | Biffbt | 116825 | ||
Our God is a fair and just God. I think that in the old testament, He demanded people to be treated fairly and wanted to punish people who did not treat others with love. HOWEVER, in the new testament, I feel that God has shown us a new way to live, and a kind of justice that comes only by knowing the lamb that was slain for us. Of course, I'm talking about Jesus who has paid for our sins with his life. I think the point Jesus was trying to make in Matthew 5:38 is that we should not worry about punishing the people who sin against us. That is God's job and that day will come. I think Jesus was explaining the message of love, which is the covenant we are called to live by according the the new testament. This is only my opinion. Hope it helps! |
