I had typed it all out and decided not to leave it in because I didn't find it addressed in other sources, but this sounds good.Carol Ann Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676125721105006155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199367098526365458.post-83542768401049120622008-05-14T09:06:00.001-07:002008-05-14T09:06:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130030009656711939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199367098526365458.post-89602062569632224432008-05-14T09:06:00.000-07:002008-05-14T09:06:00.000-07:00I have an idea about why Moses got such a severe r...I have an idea about why Moses got such a severe response from God when he struck the rock. I don't know if it's right, but it's a thought.<BR/><BR/>1 Cor 10:4 says that the rock represents Christ. As a type of Christ, the rock should be struck only once, because Jesus would be crucified only once. To crucify him again (represented by striking the rock a second time) would bring him to open shame (see Heb 6:6).<BR/><BR/>If this is the case, I can see why God would say that striking the rock was not treating God as holy.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130030009656711939noreply@blogger.com
