Did God command the Israelites to make him burnt offerings?
God commanded the Israelites to make him burnt offerings.
Exodus 8:27
We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
God did not ask for any burnt offerings.
Jeremiah 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.
Can anyone answer my question.I'm trying to figure out what kind of God would exalt himself by desiring worship and tell us to be humble? What kind of God would tell us not to kill but kill himself ? What kind of God would be jealous to desire worship? Why would a God want worship ? Jealousy is bad and kills.What kind of love does this ? What kind of God would kill out of anger,wrath.To be honest with you it don't scare me to be killed by God but it scares the bee honey out of me to think we have a God like this.Did man write all of this to try and make us be good little boys and girls?
I'll tell you what I think.The same as we have today many people saying they are saved filled with the Holy Ghost and God is teaching them truth but they are all speaking different teachings.I think we had these people from the beginning of time.God really didn't tell them alot of things but they wrote it down and we take it as gospel truth.God don't teach one person one thing and someone else something different.God is truth and in him is no lie.I think it is alot easer explaining the divine then man.The divine speakes truth and gives understanding and carnal man speaks perverting and has very little understanding.I think there are many things in the bible that carnal man wrote when they thought they were God inspired and were not.So the bottom line is i think all though time we have had people leaning on their own understanding rather then God's.That's what i think.
