Num. 14 : 28 - 29 Did Israel curse themselves? Jun 17, 2009 4:13:33 GMT -8

The text of Numbers 14:28-29 may be interpreted as simply God allowing the curse that Israel had placed upon herself to befall her. Is this the manner in which we should understand God's wrath and justice- not as His active discipline but simply allowing the natural fate to proceed? The word "raphah" (typically translated "forsake" simply suggests a release of His protective care. The word often translated "destroy" (shaw-kath) is passive suggesting that He only need to allow entropy.

Braveheart: How do you find the 'Administration Panel' to start a new board? I would like a board on 'Poems' May 12, 2024 11:53:21 GMT -8

alon: Welcacces Bravheart. You cannot access the Admin panel. Post in Books or Thoughts May 13, 2024 7:03:51 GMT -8

Braveheart: Is this a bot that puts a a 'disapproval emoticon' on my comment? And what is it offended with, lol. Is it against the rules to put up 'cross' 'sacrifice' 'persecution' or 'death' ? I've put it up, taken it down, and still it doesn't go away. May 15, 2024 5:29:59 GMT -8

alon: Braveheart, you posted a teaching against the SoF. Please read the rules- that is not allowed. Still, I left it up so you can clarify and discuss. If you have a complaint you can read any admin by PM. May 21, 2024 16:03:51 GMT -8
