Best Answer

He did not believe God. The context was when Moses struck a rock when God had told him to speak to the rock (in order to bring forth water for the nation of Israel). Moses struck the rock because he was frustrated with the people constantly griping and complaining and he was getting tired of them. God consituted it a sin because Moses made the mistake of acting as if the people were offending him personally when it was God they were testing. Read Numbers 20:1-13

Numbers 20:7-12 - Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 8 "Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals." 9 So Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him. 10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?" 11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank. 12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them." [NKJV]

Why did Moses have 3000 Israelites killed?

According to the narrative, after the Golden Calf was built, God was incensed. He told Moses that he would slaughter all of the Hebrews and make a Nation from Moses. The assumption there would be that the Moses-ites would be loyal to God. However, Moses was able to convince God to give the people another chance. Although Moses was able to get a pardon for God to hold back from mass slaughter, the Golden Calf was still a sin and the most avid supporters needed to be punished for their sin. As a result, Moses commanded his kinsmen to eliminate those individuals. The dead numbered 3000 individuals.

Did Moses sin when he killed the Egyptian?

Yes. In fact it is often used as an example of how man tries to fulfill God's plan for him in his own power and fails. Moses had to be humbled in the desert and learn to trust God before he could fulfill the plan to free his people from Egypt. Edit: Yes, if you kill someone, that is a sin. Even if that person deserved it.

Why did Satan try to take Moses bones?

Actually, Satan never tried to take Moses' BONES. Satan doesn't care about nobody's bone. He only uses a persons body to cause that particular body to do sin. Sin results to death, "the wages of sin is death". Now should anyone die, before his sins are sanctified (by accepting Christ as your Savior), your soul burns in hell forever and that is what Satan wants. It is his way of getting "even" with God, for he knows God wants us all saved. If you read Jude 1:9 you'll see about Satan wanting Moses...


What is sin against reason?

Sin against reason is a tent of believers in philosophia doctrine and has nothing to do with Sin as defined in Christian doctrine (sin against our Fathers law as given to Moses and proclaimed by his prophets as well as Christ and his apostles). Sin against reason is based in the use of dialectics by believers in philosophia doctrine, usually Stoic Philosophia doctrine. Believers base their belief of truth to be rooted in the logic and reason of dialectics.
