Dear Nancy:

I cannot and will not disagree with what you say. I thank you for your references. I have a few honest questions for you that I would appreciate honest answers.

1. Obviously God never changes. If He enjoyed people sitting in his presence in the NT then obviously in the old also. Your implied answer. A resounding yes.( I agree)

2. In the OT, God had his chosen few, his chosen race; however if you were not of his chosen few or chosen race you were out of luck. ((and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.))Now, his promise and his choice is "for whosoever believeth and calleth upon His name". For whosoever.

3.What happened to King Uzziah when he entered into the holy of holies. To coin an oft repeated phrase He was entering into an improper relationship. If King Uzziah was stricken with leprosy how much more so would you or I be stricken, we not being of a royal linage or we not being a king.

I am thrilled to be living in the dispensation that I am living in, ever unchanging God that He is. With the change of dispensation along with privilege comes also responsibility also and I hope and pray that still with God's grace and mercy I will still be found weighed in the balance and be found "passable".

I might add that just as King Uzziah was stricken for entering into God's presence without having a proper relationship with him millions in this world as we speak are entering into god's presence without the proper relationship and millions to this day are being stricken.

Better to not enter into the presence of God than to do it without being covered in the blood of Christ. Woe to those that try.

In Christ.gregor
