As far as I got it it's the confusion of the words "forth" and "fourth". Moses didn't come fourth, he came third, so all he got was a teapot as prize.
Correct?

thta doesn't make sense. Third is better than fourth, so the prize should be praise and the teapot and maybe a years supply of oven cleaner?

I think the reason why he didn't get a better prize was the fact that he didn't obbey the word of God. God told him to come fourth, not third. So, because of Moses' arrogance, all he got was a tea pot.hallucienate wrote:thta doesn't make sense.

Do you think Moses would be a Tesco or Sainsburys type of guy?

That depends on the perspective. At the light of the Old Testament, doing your best meant obbey every word from God.hallucienate wrote:so now god wants us not to do our best? jesus, I'm confused now.dead inside wrote:I think the reason why he didn't get a better prize was the fact that he didn't obbey the word of God.

When Eve ate the fruit and gave it to him, was her doing her best? Wasn't she seeking knowlegde? Didn't she share the knowledge with her husband? Isn't that a good thing?
Still, God got really mad and kicked both out of Eden.
So Adam and Eve were kicked out of Eden - I hope they kept the receipt for the Teapotdead inside wrote:That depends on the perspective.

You know, the original text from the OT was:
Adam: "I want a real nice-looking, sensitive and smart counterpart"
God: "OK, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg"
Adam: "What can I get for a rib?"
Thus.....
IZZY.
