[Constitutions Grandchild]

I'm Christian and I had always heard that G-d spoke to all the people who were so afraid because it was so loud, they begged Moses to make it stop and to go up on the mountain and speak to G-d for them all. He did so — at their request — and when he returned he had to wear a veil over his face he was so radiant.

Guess, I was ahead of the curve or that 95 percent retention rate of all I read helped out a lot. I thought everybody knew that.

>>> he had to wear a veil over his face he was so radiant

And that detail was mistranslated for a millennium, as “Moses had yellow horns” coming out of his head.

As a result, almost any depiction of Moses up to the Renaissance shows him with horns on his head:

That’s what I read too. And Moses had to go to God twice...first receiving the law written by God’s finger...the second, to receive the law again; only the second time, God made Moses write the laws down himself.(The implication seems to be that God may have been none to happy with Moses’ fit of pique when he broke the first(God written) tablets in wrath at Israel’s apostacy)

I don’t know where the author of the article got his theology but he seems to have ignored whole sections of the the Bible including the book of Hebrews...especially 6-12 chapters where Paul discusses Mount Sinai in juxtaposition to mount Zion and the priestly order of Aaron vs the priestly order of Melchizedek of which Jesus Christ was chief priest!
