How could Moses be lost for 40 years in an area the size of 300 square miles.?

After a year or 2, you would think that you would start to remember that you were here before.

    He obviously refused to ask his wife for directions.

    Not in the desert - there wouldn't be any landmarks.  Besides, if God wants you lost, you will be lost believe me - and God wanted them lost. They were a disobedient people and God was trying to get them to wake up and smell the coffee so to speak.  In the end, just as God said would happen, they ended up as corpses and never entered the promised land - only the young men entered the promised land - all the rest of the millions of Jews - their corpses fell in the wilderness

  • My brother Moses is with God, his life is in happiness, Moses is waiting for God's time, when He will raise up a new body to unite his soul, and be as he was on earth.

    Therefore, Moses was not lost, because he had always asked God's help for every Mission, I believe that, you will be lost in hell!

    Moses and his followers wandered in the desert for for forty years, according to the bible. The bible does not say they were lost.

    Those 40 years of wandering was a test to judge their faith in Jehovah. This was God's plan and a prophecy. Please contact a Christian priest, he'll explain in detail.

    The same way today's Christians have been

    lost for 2,000 years going around and around in circles believing they're right in the created religion of Christianity.

    They should OBEY or they will be going around and around in circles for another 2,000 years, if they don't die first! 

    I ***GUARANTEE*** YOU! :)

    He wasn't lost, He was following God wherever He was led...think pillar of smoke by day and pillar of fire by night...you'll figure it out...
