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]

In Numbers we see that the people are thirsty and god tells Moses to speak some water out of a stone for them.
Moses gathers the people and strikes the stone with his staff and water gushes forth.

God calls this rebellion and says Moses and Aaron will never enter the promised land.

But then in Deuteronomy, Moses says that god was angry with him because of the actions of the isrealites and that's why he was not allowed in.

So what's the deal? Is it because the isrealites lost faith that god punished Moses? Or is it really an inexcusable act of rebellion to produce water from a stone by hitting it instead of speaking to it?

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

You should try taking your own advice. You contribute nothing to the discussion, you just have a pathological need to insult anyone who doesn't share your beliefs. Seek help before it's too late, if it isn't already.

Why do you have this obsession of following me around! You are a scream! 🤣🤣🤣🤣@Sharon

I don't follow you around, you must be paranoid if you really think that, or possibly have an overinflated idea of your importance. You just impose yourself on Atheists' threads that I happen to subscribe to. Why do you have this pathological need to attack anyone who doesn't share your beliefs? You must be very insecure.

No you seem to be paranoid yourself. You impose yourself on atheist threads and Christian threads as well I noticed. You seem to be obsessed@Sharon

@Sharon

lol i called him out for his obsession with me.
Evidently it struck a nerve because he immediately added it to his bag of insults. And i'm glad he did. His routine was getting pretty stale😆

Because i'm reading the bible with an open mind and an intent to find god if he's in there. It's important to me to ask these questions.
Besides, it's not as if i can turn them off.

I wonder what petty criticism you'll try to level at that😏

Carazaa · F

@Pikachu I hope so!

Speedyman · 70-79, M

You’re not reading the bible with an open mind. You’re reading the Bible to try and find fault. You need to really be honest instead of telling lies. If you really wanna get to know the Bible you start with the new Testament. The old Testament forms the background@Pikachu

Speedy? Bud? You're not worth my time to try and convince you of my sincerity.
Believe it or don't.
I know you have far too little charity and far to much anger in your heart to ever believe me so i can't be bothered to waste time convincing you.

Incidentally. I have already read the new testament. I've read most of the OT before as well. Now i'm going through it all again.

Try being a little less hateful. I think you'll feel better for it🤷🏻

Why don’t you get some counselling? I’m really trying to help you because you appear to have a real fetish and a personality disorder. Go and see a counsellor and talk it out. @Pikachu

@Speedyman

lol so dishonest. So obsessed.
...so sad.

Tell ya what speedy. When i start stalking your posts and repeatedly attacking you for not sharing my worldview, [i]then[/i] you can talk to me about a personality disorder.
Until then, get your own house in order😏

Speedyman · 70-79, M

Please go and get yourself some counselling. Get off the Internet and stop obsessing. You have a real fetish.@Pikachu

@Speedyman

Again, you've done all you can for me, speedy. Thank you.

Now if you continue to come after me you're admitting that you're only here to feed your obsession with me and not to do good.
As if anyone is buying your sanctimonious excuses for being a little shit😆

Speedyman · 70-79, M

Well of course obsessional people resort to insults like you do when they can’t think of anything else to say. Another sign that my diagnosis is true@Pikachu

That's exactly what you do and your postings here prove it.
