Yeah! bro Ohio, you got it pretty much spot on. That's pretty much what I said, with minor spins to make it look bad. Yes, God broke His own law. Maybe it's a "do as I say, not as I do" kind of thing. Who knows? But God being God He most certainly could have forgiven us in a better way.
Take King Manasseh for example, he was mighty bad. If I remember correctly, he participated in Moloch's sacrifice of children on the fire, led Judah off into idolatry, and polytheistic worship of Ball and Asherah, was captured and led off into captivity, suffered, and God put him back up on his throne, because Manasseh repented, and restored Judah back to Yahweh.
He forgave King Manasseh in a humane way. What happened to that God? I thought He became a better God when He became a Christian. I guess it didn't stick.
