Editing Nadab and Abihu (section)

===Seventh-day Adventists views===
Nadab and Abihu were not trained in their formative years, to develop habits of self-control as well as respect and obedience to authority. They saw their father, Aaron, yielding to the pressure of the multitudes and making for them a golden calf against the will of the Lord. This is a call to parents, especially Godly parents to set a good example of strict and exemplary obedience to God’s laws.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://m.egwwritings.org/en/book/84.1614 | title=Patriarchs and Prophets }}</ref>

Nadab and Abihu are also believed to have been intoxicated at the time of their sin. Therefore, their minds were not as clear as they should have been in preparation to the service of the Lord. This is the reason that following their transgression, the Lord instructed Aaron and his remaining children to never drink wine or strong drink.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+10%3A8&version=TLB | title=Leviticus 10:8 TLB - - Bible Gateway }}</ref> The same obligation rests upon God’s children today, to ensure that they avoid anything that may alter their state of mind and diminish their service to the Lord.
