Bible Question:
I think you did not get the question, I know that touching the ark of covenant is punisheable by death that is the reason why the put a handle so thay can carry it without touching the ark. My question really is did uzzah given a chance to repent to what he has done? otherwise what is the sense of 1John 1:9 that if we repent we will be forgiven. Did Uzzah and the sons of aaron given the chance to repent? how can they repent if they were killed right away God bless, |
Bible Answer: True. There is no repentance after death. But the same question might be asked of King Saul, and of Ananias, with Sapphira his wife. Time does not seem to be the critical element. The Lord said of one Jezebel "I gave her space to repent ... and she repented not" and of Esau it is said that "he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears". It may not be fair to say that you are questioning God's actions, but it is not wise to do so. There are some things we do not know and may not fully understand. This one thing we can say, that God is the judge of all the earth and he will do right. All his works are righteous altogether. We may also say that there is such a thing as a presumptuous sin. Let us pray, as David did (Ps 19:13) that we will be kept back from it. |
