is good enough

Here's the interesting thing about Numb16: v3. v3 contains the mentality of most nonbelievers, and that's the idea of existing personal holiness. Here comes the hordes, and they think they're as good as Moses.

(1) Moses doesn't lord it over anybody
(2) God chose to speak face-to-face with Moses and calls him the most humble person on earth -- if he wants to lord it over, he has the right
(3) The Bible makes it clear that EPH doesn't exist.

The mentality is that everyone is of equal holiness. The mentality is that leading a good life matters. The mentality is that standards of righteousness should be obliterated, or at least lowered to manheight.

Strike three, you're out, Korah. Lesson for the rest of you, too.
