We must always remember, that it is what is in our hearts not what we say
"Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul" - Henry Ward Beecher
Or if you want to get technical Matt 7:21" Not everyone who says "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the ones who do the will of my Father in heaven"
Numbers 11:1 is a reminder that there is so much more to being a christian, and God will only tolerate our professing - especially if not truly from the heart -for so long. It is also a reminder of how great he is and we need to be fearfully reverent, & not so blaazae.
Because we don't have access to everyones heart we can only go on our own & leave the others to the will of God

You obviously enjoy quoting the OT for the purpose of making God look bad.
Please do not forget that man was made in God's image.
If we get fed up with whining, God will too.
Maybe not as quickly, but He will.
It seems so difficult for so many to admit that maybe
WE have played a negative role.

Whining is a sin. Give thanks in all things, for this pleases God. I learned that a long time ago.
Persecuted Christians aren't whiners. They cast all their cares on the Lord. They don't whine about it, but trust God to take care of it.

To truly understand the meaning of scripture, it cannot be taken out of context. Reading one verse usually doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Just like reading one sentence of a book doesn't give you the whole book's meaning, right?
I suggest you start at the beginning of the book of Numbers and read on to understand what this verse is saying. Read a bible that includes notes and backgrounds (author, date written, etc.) to help you. I suggest www.biblegateway.com if you don't have a NIV, NLT or more modern version of the bible.

That is exactly what you are doing right now. You better keep looking over your shoulder.
I would never accuse you of being Mr. Nice guy. More like Mr. Vicegoy.

Stop quoting from the Bible-it is the most misused, abused and misunderstood book in the entire world. You don't know what you are talking about.

The bible can be interpreted in many ways, and you will see what you will see. However, the Bible is meant to promote good, not misunderstanding and hate. I am sure the lord will forgive you. Keep the faith!!

Do you have anger issues? If yes then possibly you should seek another form to express your hatred.
