I think it is interesting that equality ("for it was strictly contrary to the commands of God that there should be a law which should bring men on to equal grounds") is equated with the ability choose to serve God or not (Joshua 24:15).
- Do you find this surprising?
- Is equality related in some sense with the ability to choose to serve God or not?
- Does this definition or aspect of equality have any bearing on the way we read the rest of the Korihor narrative?
Don't have any good answers to these questions so I would thought I would throw this out there separately so it doesn't get swallowed up by the rest of the material |
I am a little slow, but I am nto sure I get your point. Doesn't the sricpture say that God prohibits a law creating inequality, as opposed to requireng equality in the worshippers?
