Methods of worship and service do indeed matter: Uzzah’s corpse testifies to that.

  1. It’s true, that’s for sure or Uzzah wouldn’t have died. But then why are we so conflicted as to what the Bible ‘says’ about the those methods? Is there really room for interpretation of the Scriptures or are we just trying to justify our own unwillingness to change? Curious thought…

  2. Barrett’s intention was not that this is a matter of interpretation so much as it is that we cannot just have good intentions when we worship. You have probably heard the saying, ‘The road to hell is paved with good intentions.’ Barrett’s other intention was to keep us from thinking that we can approach God with whatever, expecting Him to accept it simply because we offer it. Malachi warned Israel of this very practice when they offered sick and deformed animals for worship in the Temple.
