All of the Old Testament stories are based on the Ten Commandments found in Exodus chapter 34 and the results of not believing and not obeying.
wait i don't get it. so he didn't follow a commandment(which was the word of god). so he asks god for his powers back and god was like...lol ok. which begs the question why the fuckkk would god give someone that kind of power? and then do it again after he abuses it??? which obviously never happened but lets just indulge the bullshit for a second.
Romans 9:14-16 (NKJV) = https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...rsion=NKJV
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
It also shows the application of Psalm 9:13-14 in practice:
"13 Have mercy on me, O Lord!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will rejoice in Your salvation."
