So from Namaan, can we apply that same kind concept to our day?
If the prophet had told him to do some really difficult thing he would have done it. However, it was simple (and disgusting) but simple to just go and dip in that river like he was told.
God honored his obedience. Was it for Namaan's sake only, to the ends of establishing the legitimacy if the man of God's authority, for the sake of God's own Glory only?

I love how people totaly negate the reality of what they say and act as if something is other than what it is. INSTRUCTIONS ARE LAW from God!
