I often read events like this and wonder why God would kill people<br \/>\nbecause they did not follow procedures correctly. \u00a0Where is grace in this? Why would Nineveh be<br \/>\nspared because they repented, yet Nadab and Abihu are not given that chance. If<br \/>\nyou look at this closer, they were Aaron\u2019s sons and therefore had been in the<br \/>\npresence of God and therefore should have known better. Also, in verse 1 it<br \/>\nsays the fire was \u201cunauthorized\u201d yet in the KJV it calls the fire \u201cprofane\u201d<br \/>\nwhich gives us a better understanding to why they were killed. In a nutshell<br \/>\nthey should have known better.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 11 contains the food laws. Again I don\u2019t think it<br \/>\nwas meant to be a sin eating pork, but rather a good guide to eating. God<br \/>\nwanted to set aside his people and therefore wanted to ensure they were<br \/>\nhealthy. We get to Peter\u2019s vision in Acts which shows God saying it\u2019s ok to eat<br \/>\nfood outside the Law assuming it\u2019s blessed. This is in direct conflict with the<br \/>\nLaw! Why? I am not 100% sure but the Law was set aside to show what was the<br \/>\nstandard and we are not expected to be able to uphold it. No chapter 11,<br \/>\nin \u00a0my opinion, was more guidelines and<br \/>\nnot hard lines.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 11:22 is good news:<\/p>\n<p>You may eat the following insects:<br \/>\nlocusts, destructive locusts, desert locusts, and grasshoppers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We can eat bugs!! See to all the parents who grab the bugs<br \/>\nout of their children\u2019s mouth, it\u2019s ok!!<\/p>\n<p>Verse 12:2 starts a question on a conflict:<\/p>\n<p><i>Go,<\/i>\u00a0talk with the<br \/>\nIsraelites, and tell them, \u201cIf a woman conceives and gives birth to a boy, then<br \/>\nshe will be ritually unclean for seven days, just like she is unclean when she<br \/>\nis menstruating.<\/p>\n<p>Why then in verse 5 does it double the time if she had a<br \/>\ngirl? This is a non-scientific study, but in watching Katy during both<br \/>\npregnancies. Vern, the first, was more difficult. She was sick and recovery<br \/>\nseemed to take longer, Devon was much easier. Now one would say D was the<br \/>\nsecond one, but have read this over and over again concerning pregnancies. So<br \/>\nmaybe God was protecting women, since there is a difference in carrying and<br \/>\ndelivering a girl over a boy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leviticus 10 \u2013 12 Verse 10:2 is one of those events I don\u2019t understand: \u00a0Flames erupted from before the Eternal and burned up Nadab and Abihu.
