Read the Old Testament. There are many, many times that God tells the Jews to kill other people.
You should have no problem giving me an example then of Jesus telling his disciples to go and murder, yet when they want to he tells them you don’t know what spirit your of?

Yes. What do you do with the texts that involve him doing so? Do you think they are falsified?
Jeremiah 7:22 KJVS
[22] For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
And they killed poor old Jeremiah.

John said that the event was falsified?
John 1:17-18 KJVS
[17] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. [18] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

And they killed poor old Jeremiah.

We can address the meaning of the passage but what I’m trying to learn from you is what you do with the passages of scripture where Yahweh commands sacrifices.

Moses says that he saw God but didn’t see God’s face. God said that man couldn’t see God’s face and live.

Do you simply dismiss Moses?

Psalm 51:16-17 KJVS
[16] For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it : thou delightest not in burnt offering. [17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Do you believe scripture contradicts scripture?

Do you simply dismiss Moses?
I don’t dismiss Moses, what I do is I read Moses and in the reading of the Old Testament I see what is happening in the first century.

Jesus is sitting at the Father’s right hand.

What I‘d like to know is what you do with Moses. Do you see him as being a trustworthy prophet of God?
I see Moses as being an Egyptian, raised in the house of pharaoh, educated to the fullest about all of their culture. Writing on stones, worshiping false gods, and sacrificing animals to moloch. A man devoid the Spirit of God.

God speaking into the darkness that which was incomprehensible. Yet God did speak.

Do you believe that what Moses wrote / said is true?
Acts 7:42-43 KJVS
[42] Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? [43] Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Forty years, yet when John the Baptist came he was still crying in the wilderness?

Okay. Thanks.
Your welcome,

Matthew 19:7-8 KJVS
[7] They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? [8] He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.


Are Gods laws founded by political pressures, or are the founded in mercies thruth and Grace?

Yes.

I think your position on Moses - an extremely unusual one among Christians - would cause Jews to reject Jesus.

Given by God to Moses.
