Eeek's Guide To The Bible NINETEEN EXODUS 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. ______________________________ Here we learn many things: God has emotions (especially anger) which ebbs and flows (very similar to people and other such creatures). When God despairs and yearns to sin, it is the stutterer, Moses--who prevents God from breaking an oath which God had forgotten He had made. God then "repented". In Webster's this means to "turn from sin and dedicate oneself to the amendment of one's life." It is wonderful that God has feelings. It is wonderful that God admits to Sin in His inerrant writings. It is also wonderful that an Unconditional Being should HAVE feelings (Praise God!). As well it is wonderful that "HE" (the bible makes the "HE" clear) is able to admit His mistakes and to regret and to repent of the EVIL He had contemplated: (32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people). There are thousands of religions that pretend their God is wholly good and incapable of evil. The Christian religion makes their God almost human in His defects of character. This is proof that it is the inspired word of a Holy, Righteous, Changeless, and immutable God. The Holy Words of God state clearly that He DID think to do evil but He DID repent (to HIMSELF). It is the humility and Honesty of the Lord when He creates inspired, inerrant Holy text...that confirms our faith, and that inspires the intellect of our humility. Moses really gave God a lesson. But God had tried to murder Moses twice and succeeded on the third time...so just because God "repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people"...it does not mean Moses won. God wins! WHO KILLED WHO!? It is pretty clear that God won unless you are an idiot! Bless Jesus! The atheist is refuted once again! EeekBaptist
