Hello ceedub,My 2c = Numbers 20:12 - unbelief.What you said about covenant types is also true, and the answer to whether Moses sin was not imputed to him by God is, surely, because he was on the Mount of Transfiguration with Elijah.
Rather than further sully threads, may I quote Paul from his epistle to the Philippians?"So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind."Brother, and I say this in love, I feel like you're "trolling", meaning you forward a question, knowing full well what your "opinion" is, then when others "feed" into that question, you eviscerate them, or as you say "defend" yourself. Time is too short, for the love of God, please....stop.let me just continue with this bit of Scripture from Paul:"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." Philippians 2:3(above is Philippians 2:1-2) Brother, you, of course, have the liberty and freedom to your "opinion", and you have the freedom to state it on this cyber forum, but in the end, you might whip yourself up into such a religious froth, that wisdom and love IN Christ flees from you, and you'll probably get bounced. I speak from experience, as I have let my emotions get the better of me.Do I agree with every brother or sister who posts on this forum? No. But what I do is count them more "significant" than myself, which is the essence of "dying to self", which I'm sure you know, so I entreat you, in all humility, walk it then, be sweet in the Lord, dont be "intense" Brother Ken. It will only lead to confusion, contention and reproach. The time is too short for all that. I pray you recieve my short missive in the love of Christ, as not a rebuke, but an exhortation to a Higher Standard. We are all working out our own salvation's with fear and trembling.In Jesus love, neil

Hi everyone,Ken, I'm sorry that something that I wrote to you was insulting. Please write to me if you would like to discuss it.Ken, may I please ask you to consider what Neil wrote to you? "Does my knowledge of the Bible, centered in our privilege of son-ship in the Father, offend you that much?"Ken, I don't think anyone is offended by whatever knowledge you have. It is the way you are conducting yourself in your responses to others.Please at least consider that three people have said something to you now.Thank you very much for your time,Chris

Hi Ken,Thank you very much for your reply.About this,
I have not written anything that should be taken as a personal affront to anyone. So what else can it be, unless you can point to something I have overlooked?
Sure. Where have I been disrepectful?
And where do you get off believing I don't count others more significant than myself? How do you arrive at such a condescending "opinion"?
All I have so far encountered is the mindset of tradition bound justification-sanctification only thinkers, fearful no doubt of embracing anything of the word beyond that for fear of it being a works centered salvation message that will be taking into themselves.. It is not and I say this for their benefit.
