The decision not to enter the Holy Land of Promise did not belong to the Israelites, but to God. Their wandering in the wilderness for forty years was due to disobedience and complaining to God about their conditions. Moses was allowed to look at the Holy Land, but was not allowed to enter because he had an anger problem that displeased God---he smote the rock when it would not give water.
These may seem like trivial matters, but nothing is trivial with God. Disobedience and anger are sins, and every sin has its consequences. Sometimes we may feel that the penalty we pay for a particular sin is unduly harsh, but God see the whole picture that we cannot see and he knows what is best for us. The penalty that we pay today may result in a great blessing tomorrow. The lesson to be learned is that every sin has its consequences, even if you are saved and covered under the blood. Certainly Moses was saved and blessed, for he accomplished things that were humanly impossible. He made these accomplishments by the hand of God. A good verse to remember in connection with this is Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me." Also, John 15:5, Jesus said, "....without me ye can do nothing."

I suppose the testimony of revered students & critics given through many answerers already, as good the ones independent, speaks for itself. Out of the 1000's of exclusive translations of the Bible, it is rather foolish why the NWT in particular is attacked up to it's, whilst different 1000's of translations, even the ones so much more moderen, don't seem to be referred to as into query. And with foolish unfounded causes given like 'why did a brand new translation ought to be made, it HAD to be an impure reason'.... good, if that used to be a legitimate argument might it no longer then certainly be assumed the identical related to ALL the opposite 1000's of translations as good, ESPECIALLY the more moderen ones- 'why have been the ones made, HAD to be an impure reason'? Of direction no longer, which certainly suggests the unfounded prejudice, bias, & vacancy of that ridiculous accusation. The reasons of the interpretation have been- one million)less difficult to learn verbage, two)make certain extra whole accuracy as translated from the fashioned languages to make certain there used to be NO devout bias inserted, however purity from the fashioned writings simplest. Quite actually, probably the most honorable intentions there might be. As an additional answerer stated, JW's additionally very effectively use some thing translation is to be had or that a character is cozy with. Most JW's have more than one exclusive translations of their private residence libraries. And the NWT continues to be no longer to be had in each and every language such a lot of JW's in different lands nonetheless use different translations completely. The factor is, irrespective of the interpretation used, the total teachings of the Bible are the identical. That is the factor correct? Correct Bible teachings? After all that might be the one PURE reason of a critic, proper? To make certain that worthwhile precise Bible teachings stay intact? If so, you're going to research & evaluate for your self with the intention to make a educated choice centered on truly study, no longer one centered on empty accusations & such university-backyard-variety cross-it-on gossip.

They didn't refuse to enter the Holy Land, they refused to listen to God and therefore were forbidden to enter the promised land...
Thus they traveled in the desert for 40 years...
However Moses wasn't forbidden then to enter the promised land.. It was later on when he took the glory that was suppose to go to God at the rock with is staff. God told him he wouldn't be able to enter the promised land.

Perhaps you are refering to the exodus when God called Moses to the mountain to give him the Ten commandments and the people got restless and demanded that Aaron make them a golden calf to worship inplace of worshipping Almighty God. The account is in Exodus Chapter 32.

dosnt matter if two people see the truth
if ten unbelievers word is believed more than gods word you will spend the rest of that generations time wandering the desert
it happened early in exodus ,it was but to be a short walk ,but because that generation was faith less only the children got there
it wasnt till all who went in died that the children went into the promis land

im going to read it again now to
just to check i got it right
