This phrase is primarily associated with the Israelites building shrines and altars outside of Jerusalem and worshipping God in the way other nations would worship their gods. After the death of Solomon, the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel, though divided, come to the same conclusion to fix a problem of inconvenience. Travel to Jerusalem is costly and time-consuming. The Kingdom of Israel, now a distinct political entity, does not want its citizens to worship God by sacrificing in Jerusalem which is in Judah. The Judean king, for his part, does not want his people to need to cross his whole territory to perform regular rituals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is so bad about having a local place to worship God?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God\u2019s instructions in Deuteronomy were clear. There will be a designated place for the worship of God, and that will be the only place for all time. Except that we know it would not be. For much of Jewish history now we have done without a sacrificial system. The rules for humanity changed greatly from Adam to Abraham to Moses to David, so it stands to reason that more changes over time would be necessary, even from the perspective of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rabbis of the Talmud would change the rules to accommodate a change in circumstances, so why should Rehoboam and Jeroboam be condemned for making a change? Because the method is as important as the outcome. The rabbis of the Talmud engaged in honest debate for the sake of heaven, grounded in ethics and a love for Jewish peoplehood. The evolution of religious life can only be accomplished through adjustments accompanied by persuasive dialectics.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":62939,"id":62939,"title":"1kings14--process","filename":"1kings14-process.png","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process.png","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/sacrifices-things-change\/1kings14-process\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"1kings14-process","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":62938,"date":"2019-09-16 06:43:27","modified":"2022-05-09 04:39:16","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1420,"height":800,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process-300x169.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":169,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process-768x433.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":433,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process-1024x577.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":577,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process.png","1536x1536-width":1420,"1536x1536-height":800,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process.png","2048x2048-width":1420,"2048x2048-height":800,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process-1200x676.png","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":676,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/1kings14-process-746x420.png","home_baner-width":746,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Sacrifices?
