Introduction
The Book of Malachi has a series of six disputes between the Lord and his people. The first concern, their doubting of his love, continues to the end of chapter 2 verse 9. It especially focuses on the ways in which they are dishonoring the Lord by their disregard for his sacrifices. As a consequence, the Lord says that they would be better off if someone just closed down the temple rather than continue to bring offerings that manifest lack of respect for him.
