However, God was reverenced on a weekly basis by resting. Judaism's festival days occurred annually. To see the contrast, look at the initial, immediate way that Israel worshipped the golden calf in Exodus 32. Second, these core laws revealed the distinctiveness and uniqueness of the living God. Incorrect spiritual concepts and perspectives die slowly.
People are hesitant to replace poor spiritual concepts with better spiritual concepts.
In nothing is that more true than in our concepts and perspectives of God. A newly learned, better concept of God can be verified by solid information. A long held, poor concept of God can be obviously flawed because it is based on selective information. Even so, the old concept continues to control thinking. That was true in Old Testament Israel.
