Bible Discussion Thread

In dueteronomy we have a summing up of events that have gone before, a reiteration at the point of entering into the promised land. Moses himself will not go over because of a froward flock but only Caleb who whole heartedly followed the commandments and Joshua to lead them. Joshua is also translated as Jesus by Stephen in Acts when he was summing up to the high priests all the sins committed against those whom God sent. These patterns in the bible emphasize for us these human truths that we must learn from, even today. We are not much different than they who grumbled against Moses, who stoned Stephen, who crucified the Savior and exonerated a murderer. What God wants is a contrite heart and obediant sons and daughters to Live with him in his Kingdom. But first we shall be tried and tempered with fire unquenched, to purify as Gold is purified in fire. Its hot, but its the only way!
