Question for christians: Why does god refuse to let Moses and Aaron into the land he promised to the descendants of Abraham and Isaac? [Spirituality & Religion]

Pikachu, Not quite! Moses said "You rebels" not God to the Israelites"You are reading fast and missing parts evidently! Moses is representative of the Israelites and when they complained God was upset with all of them, therefore God killed many, and kept the rest including Moses in the desert 40 years longer. But he still fed them and gave them water! Moses didn't follow Gods instructions he hit the rock this time, not spoke to it as God had said, so the Israelites didn't see the water coming out by Moses command and might have thought it a bigger miracle.

In Howard Fast's monumental study [i]The Jews - History of a People[/i], he describes an ancient tribe, the Habiru, who lived in the desert between Egypt and the city-states to the east. Their mythology eventually included a period of wandering followed by their conquering the land their deity had promised them, from which their ancestors had come. It's not that different from the legends of the Kiowa and their journey from Montana to the Great Plains, which happened in comparatively recent times.

Obviously, water would have been important for a desert people, so blaming the long period of wandering on a mythical leader offending a deity wasn't that far-fetched.

Why are you so concerned about this? You say you don’t believe in this God but use are so concerned apparently about what a God does you don’t believe in. It seems you are obsessed about this God you don’t believe in and you are a clear case for counselling. Why don’t you go to a psychiatrist now

With Moses yes it was the fact that he hit the rock instead of speaking to it like he was told but in all honesty it was something he did during the 40 years of wondering in the wilderness that caused Moses not to be able to go into the promise land and I don’t know if God had anything against Aaron, but Back then God didn’t understand his creation and why man did what he did until God wrapped hisself in the image of sinful flesh and on the night he was betrayed he prayed to God the father to remove the cup of poison from him he didn’t want to die and at that moment he understood mankind and kept his word and died for us

This guy is obsessed. He has a personality disorder which leads him to want to keep bringing these things up

God instructed him to speak to the rock, not to strike it with his staff.

God said ...speak to the rock....Moses violently struck the rock twice

IIRC, Moses tried to claim personal responsibility for the miracle instead of properly crediting God. That was the rebellion, not striking the stone.

Ask Him when you see Him.

My guess is because he didn’t bring forth the water in the way that god commanded so he directly disobeyed god. That’s just my interpretation of it

No ID

Moses implied that he was the one that gave them water. It was God.
