Up the Mountain Moses

We need to see to believe, is a constant reminder of what we do every day. The sight is tricky, and the mind plays with our believes, is an unusual thing in the human nature. But why­? Is how we are made. This takes me to the story I will tell, a story of proves and faith. “I AM THAT I AM”, five words used by LORD to convince Moses of being his messenger, five words that helped Moses to recover the faith of a lost nation. Egypt had been forgotten, misplaced by their conviction, one they left behind when mentioned GOD. Their Pharaoh had been a repressor, one who seeks to get all to his benefit from his people. When Moses went up that mountain he was as any other, the only difference is that he reached for help. Being God and seeing such desperate times he gave his hand, commanded his follower to help. All Moses could think was that the oppressed would again respond with disbelieve, in his words they would say, “What is his name? what shall I say unto them?” (Exodus 3:13), and all he would had was what he saw. It is funny how ironic this is being faith a believe to see interpretation about life, no prove to what is guided by god, here expressed as see to believe, more scientific.


Anyway, Moses saw that they wouldn’t believe him until they saw all he had, God’s response was simply “I AM THAT I AM”, which may imply how God is a mystery and that is just what he is. On the other hand the visual prove he provides is the cane turned into a serpent. The nation doesn’t have a choice but to believe after the miracles Moses gave them. How can the bible turn religion scientific and switch back to straight faith? An inexplicable answer about moderate contradiction. What I understand is that the old testament is the historical part according to religion, and the new testament faith and acknowledgements.
