Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the house of YHWH.” And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
2 Kings 22:8
The idea that God always preserves the Scriptures so that they are never lost is here disproven by Scripture. Inspired Scripture and prophecy is often lost, sometimes permanently and sometimes temporarily. The Bible contains numerous mentions of prophecies that were never recorded, let alone preserved.
Why are there two stories of the rock in the wilderness? God doesn't repeat himself without reason.
In Numbers 19, Moses struck the rock to bring forth water for the Israelites. This caused God to deny him entry into the Promised Land. Why?
Happy Independence Day I could not get this to load on the 4th until I got to a better Wi-Fi connection. But here’s a video of our fireworks fun with the kids. ??✌️
The first time the Israelites complained about no water, they grumbled out of Moses' hearing. The second time (38 years later), they spoke to him directly. This was an improvement.
The first time the Israelites complained about no water, God told Moses to strike the rock. The second time, God told him to speak to the rock. God tailored the response to the character of the people at the time.
The church side doesn't really make sense if you think about it. Unless you subscribe to Marcionism (the belief that the God of the OT was evil and the God of the NT is good) or the like. Why would everyone we read about in the OT have to go through all these steps to be followers and get severely punished when they didn't follow correctly? Then, Jesus dies on the cross, now no one has to do any of that stuff? That's about 4,000 years of people that need an apology or something. Did our perfect God make a mistake to have to change everything so drastically?
I was just thinking the other day, after coming to the realization that there is no separation in thought between the OT and the NT, that it is all just a continuation of the same story, I can't ever see myself falling back into seeing them as being separate again.
Things just don't make sense seeing them as separate. When you realize the whole story, since Adam, is about how we as humans are having to deal with this thing called sin, because of Adam sinning, and everything God has done through His judgements (like the Flood and Tower of Babel) to His instructions (the Law/Commands) are all there to get us back to a point that sin isn't in control any more. This continues in the NT with Jesus coming and being our example and then dying in our place so that we have a chance to come back into covenant with God.
It wasn't to change anything or start a new religion or whatever. It was purely to point us back to what God has wanted all along, for us to live good lives. How do we know what a good life looks like? By God's instructions, His commandments. We even see Jesus telling several people to obey these commandments. We see the apostles, decades after Jesus rose, still doing the commandments.
If the whole idea was to change things to where all we had to do was believe, why does James give us a warning that even the demons believe and shudder?
I don't know about you, but I don't want to be on the same level as a demon.

A new Edition of the Lawful Literal Version of the Bible is out now
…a work in progress with over 65,900 improvements so far!
The whole text of LLV328 THE CREATOR'S MEMORIAL NAME Edition:
As far as the translator is aware, every name is now spelled with the aim of accurately reflecting the correct, historical pronunciations of these historical names according to modern phonetic English-alphabet transcription, e.g. ‘y’ not ‘j’ for the sound at the start of ‘yellow’, ‘w’ not ‘v’ for the sound at the start of ‘water’. The transcriptions in the LLV are aimed to be better than those of any English translation of Scripture made so far, because they consider not only the pointings of the medieval Hebrew texts but also the older transcriptions in Greek and Latin letters.
Please distribute freely, but only by sharing the link to this doc:
It’s free! Download the LLV/ABSV from here:

A list of all the improvements and the research and thinking behind them can be found at the same, above link.
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
Romans 8:29 ESV
Foreknew doesn’t mean that God knew what was going to happen or who was going to do what or even the character of each person who didn’t exist yet. It’s talking about God’s established relationship with those whom he has determined to conform into the image of his Son. "Whom he foreknew" should be translated as "with whom he has established a relationship".
