Now, I didn't say God The Father appeared to Moses at Sinai.

What is in my little KJV Exodus 24:15-18 is as follows:

15 And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud and gat him up into the mount; and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.

But what it doesn't say is that Moses actually saw God.

However, that has little to do with the issue at hand.

Thumb through to Leviticus 18:22 Where the Lord was speaking to Moses: 22: Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abombination.

That is a pretty clear statement of disapproval.

But back in Genesis 19:24, the ultimate 'statement' is made: Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven.

Seems like a pretty clear sign the Lord didn't approve of the goings on there.

You need to read ahead to chapter 33 which preceeds the second tables of stone:

And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. (Exodus 33:22,23)

However, that has little to do with the issue at hand

I think it is precisely the issue. People do not recognize that Jesus Christ is God; and that it was he who spoke the Law to Moses; and that he will judge the unbelieving at the great white throne using his law which is eternal.
