When the Lord had finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
Exodus 32:19
When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain.
Exodus 32:27, 28, 29
Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says. ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’ ” The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. Then Moses said, “You have been set apart for the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.” (TNIV Study Bible)
Mother tells the story about church pastors at a church business meeting and an argument ensues. One of the pastors rises and makes a point by saying that God said that the issue must be resolved “thus and so”. Another pastor of the opposite persuasion immediately rises saying that God told him in his prayers that God wants the opposite point. Did neither pastor hear from God? Did only one pastor correctly hear from God? If so, which one? Our will is so easily transferred to the Almighty for distribution. Is this not twisted?
