Bible Question:
Thanks, Paul. Your passion for Jesus and His gospel are supremely evident in your words. I found myself nodding in agreement with most of what you said. One question, though - why do you say God was "reluctant" to give the 10 Commandments? God bless you, Dave R. |
Bible Answer: Hello Dave I can't speak for Paul, but there are some who look at Exodus 19:8 as Israel saying they didn't want grace but law. "All the people answered together and said, 'All that the Lord has spoken we will do.' And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord." I don't see it that way. It appears to be more of an acknowledgement of what they couldn't do and a seeming willingness to follow God. Of course, they found out quickly that they couldn't just do the works without faith.
