Maybe because Moses was threading on Hallowed land?
To remove his sandals because he was standing on holy ground. (Exodus 3:5)
Those prophets were 'sitting on the fence' (according to The Message paraphrased Bible).Elijah gave them a chance. Elijah told them to call upon their gods to 'light the fire'. They prayed and cried and called. But their god was 'not a god'. Elijah mocked and challenged them. Told them to call louder. Maybe their god was asleep; calling louder might wake their god; or on a trip, or perhaps sitting on the toilet (Contemporary English Version).Then Elijah had them bring buckets of water on the altar. Elijah prayed once, and boom, fire from heaven consumed the altar and everything. If that wasn't evidence that God approved of Elijah as his true prophet.Elijah told 'the people' to grab the prophets. So 'the people' did as told. They could have refused.Then Elijah had them killed. 1 Kings 18:40 according to the Amplified Bible adds: "[as God's law required]". So really that's the reason WHY Elijah had them killed: God's law required it. Elijah and 'the people' obeyed. I guess God didn't want any 'false' prophets around.The Bible states that in the future God will 'cut off' all evildoers. Why? Because they are 'evildoers'. It's really that simple. God requires obedience. At least that's what's in the Bible.
One issue that Joshua would have faced is whether it was right to commit genocide and crimes against humanity when God instructed him to do so. Moral absolutism says that there is never a justification for sin.
Genesis 18:14. It was where GOD has promised Abraham and Sarah, whoms names he changed from Abram and Sarai, that he was going to bless them with a child and they are wondering how. Sarah evened laughed at such an unlikely thing. Then GOD poses the question, Is anything too hard for the Lord?"
To live by his rules. To follow him, to help others, to give to those who are less fourtinate, be disiples of God, and to share. to be a good person, to be nice to each other, ect. Also, Adam and Eve were told to not eat off the tree of good and evil. But they did so now each Catholic is born with original sin.
God told Moses to take off his sandles because the area he was stepping on was Holy sand
The angel told Moses to take off his shoes. The reason why is because it was holy ground.
In the Bible, Moses is asked to take off his shoes because he was standing on holy ground. Removing his shoes was a sign of respect and reverence for God's presence.
There's precedent for it in the book of Exodus: when God speaks to Moses from the burning bush, Moses is instructed to take off his shoes for he is standing on holy ground.
To remove his sandals because he was standing on holy ground. (Exodus 3:5)
Yes. One of Moses' biggest errors in leading Isreal was when God was providing water to the Isrealites. God told Moses to speak to a rock, and that it would become a spring. Moses instead hit the rock with his staff, attempting to show off a bit. Because of this, Moses was not allowed into the Promised Land. He died and was buried on the outskirts. This story is in Numbers 20:2-13.
AnswerIt is called " the sacred valley Tuwa". It is just below Mount Sinai in Egypt.Quran, the holy book for God revelation to Prophet Mohamed (peace upon him), says (translation meaning): "O Moses! Verily I am Lord! therefore put off thy shoes: you are in the sacred valley Tuwa".
Moses had to remove his sandals because they are a symbol of impurity. Its a proof of his past and God was looking forward to his future so he had to leave the dirtiness of his sandals behind so God would be able to use him to his potential. We need to remove our sandals every morning.
Moses stood in the presence of God for 40 consecutive days. God's radiance is infinite; and some of it (for lack of a better way to put it) "rubbed off" on Moses. This was a Kiddush Hashem, teaching that the presence of God confers happiness and holiness even in this world.
Moses met god on many occasions through prayer and meditation. His most famous encounter with god was on Mount Horeb where he met God who was in the form of a burning bush. This is also where God met Moses and gave him the Ten Commandments. Where the mountain is located in current times remains unknown.
It means that the bush was burning, but was not burned up.
