In Leviticus 10 God smites Nadad & Abihu for using "common fire" instead of "Holy Fire" in their offering. Now in modern days we know that fire is not a "thing" it is simply a chemical reaction and it's source is the chemicals involved and nothing more, yet two men were killed for this? (1) Why?
Secondly, the men's bodies were not to be touched and the men not mourned by commandment of god. (2) Why would a loving god forbid the mourning as an expression of love. I thought god loved everyone, and jesus was quite the love man, but here the men are to be hated for making a mistake in the method they worshiped god.
Why has god not punished all the hundreds of various judeo christian doctrines and religions that exist today? (3) Why would he kill his worshipers for using the "wrong" fire, yet let Joe Smith of the mormons peer through rocks to divine his message?
Leviticus 10
10:1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
10:2 And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
