On the other day we were reading a christian mag form chennai .
Just like the many other pastors , the mag tells about Moses being deprived of entering in to the promised land just because he yelled at people> and hit the stone instead of speaking to it .
But With the background of some training in the word, we have been studying bible critically, for truth and found Moses violating the gods' instructions / plan many a time .
For instance
Exodus 32:7- 33>> While Moses was on the mount
7. Lord said unto Moses.. thy people have corrupted themselves (Lord knows every thing. He doesn't need blood marks> on the doors
God's plan
10 I may consume them: and I will make thee a great nation
Moses is more worried about what others think rather than what God thinks!>
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains and pleads " Turn thy fierce wrath, and repent of this> evil against thy people
14 And the Lord repented
15 Moses went down
16 the tables were the work of god, .. writing or god,> graven upon the tables
Lo what Moses does to them
19 Moses' anger waxed hot, ( While god himself> excuesed them )> and he cast the tables out of his hands and brake> them..> ( the work of god undone
26 Then moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said> Who is on the Lord's side? let him come unto me
27 And he said unto them (THE LIE of Moses)> Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his> sword by his side,> .... and slay every man his brother, and every man his> companion, and> every man his neighbor
28 and there fell fo the people that day about three> thousand men.>> (These killngs are not God's plan, as He repented at> verse 14
30 Moses said unto the people.. I shall make an> atonement for your sin,> 31 Moses returned unto the lord and said..> 32 if thou wilt forgive their sin-; and if not, bolt> me, i pray thee, out of thy book
SEE GOD's REPLY>>
33 Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I bolt out of my book
IT IS MOSES WHO SINNED !>>
The more we study the more may come out
The killings of first sons of Egyptians.> Lord knows every thing. He doesn't need blood marks on> the doors.> Only moses' secret killing gangs need them.>>
Borrowing Gold with an intention of stealing.>
God who plans to lead them in to promised land,>
God who can provide them manna in the forest,>
The creator of earth and its minerals> does not need egyptian gold for his people
Moses who told blatant lie in the name of god> at Ex 32:27 might be habituated of telling lies even> before,> in the name of god and borrowing gold might be one of> them.
>> Killing those who hid the gold>
Kill every one, man woman, child, sheep.. but bring> the gold !> Pastors may say there is no sin in gold, while the> poor beings carried sin.> Even this instructon cannot be from the god the giver.> Only Moses needs gold.>>
The splitting of red sea,> It was on a new moon night moses planned the event,> where the water naturally moves away form that place.> and after 12 hours, the place is flooded, observed by> moses for the last 40 years
While i donot propose that god was not with him, what> is evident form the word is that> moses, used his own unethical will more than that of> god, and thus got his name removed from the book.
Here is some one else who supports this view
