Bible Question: I am reading Exodus and it seems that the Israelites were taught by Moses to be frightened of God. That he was a God to be feared and that he was a God that punished all who did not follow him to the letter of the laws given to them by God through Moses. Why did this conception change to a kind and loving God? Did God change his mind? |
Bible Answer: Fear God means that you obey His Will or walked in His way. Ge 20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake The people that not fear God are those wicked one's, for example me I fear God so I dont want to do harm in my nieghboor as I could. fear indeed is not just for God but for our parents. Le 19:3 Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. So fear is not completely means scared, but respect. Maybe moses taught it that way because at the time it could be the way that thier mind can comprehend. If we remember almost all they need to do is specifically given to them i.e they have wash thier hands if they touch such dead animals. God did not change or change His mind: Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. He is really a loving God from everlasting. He is God that will love people that will obey His commandments and God that will not tolerate the wickedness of anyone. The application maybe different from Old Testament into a New Testament but it is the same God will punish the wicked ones forever and everlasting: Re 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. God bless, |
