Kinda reminds me of your answer to 2Cor3:6-11 where Paul in verse 7 (Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was,) was referring to Joshua 8:30 Then Joshua built on Mount Ebal an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, 31 as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the Israelites. He built it according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses—an altar of uncut stones, on which no iron tool had been used. On it they offered to the Lord burnt offerings and sacrificed fellowship offerings. 32 There, in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua wrote on stones a copy of the law of Moses. Of course, that was an untrue answer that you never offered an apology.
Hi Bob S,
Nice try. You've already attempted to accuse me of writing something like this and I already challenged you to supply the evidence. I didn't write what you're accusing me of so why would I offer an apology? At this point you need to supply the proof or it's you that needs to apologize for your false accusation.
You and I have talked at length about 2 Corinthians 3:6-11 and at one point you even seemed to acknowledge the truth about what glory passed away. But that was short lived and soon you were back to making the same false teaching that the glory was on the stones rather than on Moses's face (see below):

Exodus 34:29-33
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant [why?] because he had spoken with the LORD. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back to him, and he spoke to them. Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands the LORD had given him on Mount Sinai.
When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over his face.
Now tell me again, what was the cause of the glory shining in Moses' face?
So, whereas you make random, unsubstantiated accusations about things I supposedly said, I can actually and factually supply your specific words. Why? Cuz I generally attempt to archive my conversations ... for such a time as this.
That is nothing but a bunch of bologna spark. They were to remain in their dwellings on the Sabbath period. They were not to go out looking for something that was not there in the first place. [But that's the point! Read verse 27!]
Ha! This is so bizarre. You just bypassed all of the Bible passage I supplied which refutes your false teaching, waved your hand to dismiss what the Bible clearly says and then continued on in your insistence that the Bible says, "They were to remain in their dwellings on the Sabbath period."
Exodus 16:27-30
27 Some of the people went out anyway on the seventh day, but they found no food. 28 The Lord asked Moses, “How long will these people refuse to obey my commands and instructions? 29 They must realize that the Sabbath is the Lord’s gift to you. That is why he gives you a two-day supply on the sixth day, so there will be enough for two days. On the Sabbath day you must each stay in your place. Do not go out to pick up food on the seventh day.” 30 So the people did not gather any food on the seventh day.
Let's see if you can take the explicit words of Scripture—which do not just arbitrarily clip off where you insist on stopping (i.e., "stay in your place."). No. The very next sentence flips your nonsense right side up:
"Do not go out to pick up food on the seventh day."
So let's hear it. Take the above four verses of Scripture and see if you can flip it back to your false teaching. Or—and this would be refreshing—you could let the Bible read in its normative sense.
I pray this helps.
But for the grace of God go I,cyspark
This is commonly known as taking a text out of context and making it into a pretext.] Are you able to locate where God released them from that rule? There isn't any indication any other person was even stoned for breaking those rules. That also indicates that just picking up sticks was not the true reason he was stoned. [Are you "absolutely" sure about this?
