Bible Question:
Hi y'all. I've been reading the NLV (I think) from the beginning. I have a bunch of questions, but this one is the most concerning/shocking to me. In Exodus 2:12 Moses kills a dude for abusing the workers he is trying to lead out of Egypt. WHAT??? How is this holy? How is this a good example? How is this justified/justifiable? Does God sanction this? Suggest it? It's like this little tiny 'oh, by the way' kind of passage and I was shocked. I know the God of the OT is 'rougher' than the NT God. Or I think I know that. But still. What am I to learn from this passage?????? Thanks in advance-- Zilla |
Bible Answer: God didn't appear to Moses yet. God didn't appear to Moses for about 40 years later. God picked Moses to take Israel out of Egypt. in the 40 years Moses became a nobody. Moses learn to obey God which made Him a awesome man of God and was human like ma and you. Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. God was not rougher in the OT. He was working with and dealing with Israel. They had to take over land due to the land being polluted with fake gods and all the evil you can think of. |
