“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter. ’tis the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning.” Mark Twain

Unauthorized Fire and No-No Lists

God doesn’t always give every particular fact we might desire to know in the Bible. I hope I’m not the only one who finds herself wondering about the missing (in my view, anyway) details from various Bible narratives.
  • Where did Cain’s wife come from? 
  • Why didn’t Jacob notice he was marrying the wrong woman? 
  • What was so special about Enoch? 
  • Why didn’t Balaam act surprised when a donkey talked to him? 
Lately, the question that has gotten me thinking is found in Leviticus.
What, exactly, was wrong with Nadab and Abihu’s sacrifice? What did they do that warranted God’s punishment of them?


I'm at Internet Cafe Devotions today, talking about just this issue. Hope you'll click here and stop by to see what I, and the Lord, have to say about this unanswered question.
