I did answer. It doesn't matter where Moses was. God didn't command Israel to obey His voice, "Only if Moses is with them". I posted the Scriptures, but you refused to acknowledge them.
According to whom? What Scripture in the entire Bible teaches men that "the narrative in the text, of
Ex. 20, is not a linear progression."
Since you are preaching that I don't understand the "Narrative", or am promoting a false narrative, you should be able to educate me by showing me the Scriptures which prove that God had Israelites killed for breaking LAWS HE had not yet given them. That is your preaching here. I'm open to correction from Scriptures. You do a lot of preaching, but don't even address the Scriptures. Shouldn't a person professing to "know God" be able to explain their religion based on Scriptures? Jesus and Paul did.
Where is it written that God punished Israel for breaking a Covenant that you preach He had not yet given them? Why does God say in
Ex. 34 "I make a covenant" if there is already a Covenant in place. Why does Moses have to plead for Israel's life, if their life was not in danger because of the Covenant God made with them, in the day HE brought them out of the Land of Egypt, still exists when HE told Moses HE was going to consume them?
Why do you completely ignore, and refuse to acknowledge what Jeremiah said in Jer. 7:
Jer. 7:
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: 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
So when was the LAWS concerning burnt offering and sacrifices "ADDED", if not "AFTER the Golden calf?
This is why the Scriptures are so important, to help believers discern between the doctrines of religious men, and what the Scriptures actually teach. It' like God say you coming and created Scriptures to protect me from your religious philosophy.
No, this is not the issue. No one said, suggested or even implied, including me, that God made an " entirely different covenant" after Israel broke God's Covenant with the Golden calf incident, and God had many of them killed for their transgression.
You are just making that up, like your other doctrine "Israel had not yet received God's Commandments, when they created the golden calf".
The reason I replied to your post, was because of another popular falsehood you were promoting, namely "The Mosaic law
is a complete unit, so if part of it must be kept then all of it must be kept."
If you believed God and His Inspired Word, you would understand the Priesthood Covenant God made with Levi, that was "ADDED because of Transgressions" after the Golden calf, was destined to change the moment God gave Levi the Priesthood Covenant.
Unless you somehow believe God didn't know
that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
You can consider these Scriptures, and the warnings of the Jesus of the Bible, and humble yourself to Him.
Or, you can ignore the questions, continue to refuse to acknowledge the Scriptures posted, and continue to work so hard to preserve an adopted philosophy that the Scriptures expose as a falsehood.
My hope is that you might actually consider what is actually written. You might suffer a little humiliation, but a contrite heart of a good thing in the eyes of God.
