Bible Note: Hi JVH, I just talked to wdc after looking at his verses of reference. I looked at your reference to Matt 13:11 and I read on to the fifteenth where it says,"...otherwise they would see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and return, and (I) would hear them." Compare that to Mark 4 11 and 12, "And He was saying to them, "To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of (God), but those who are outside get everthing in parable, so that while seeing, they may see and not perceive, and while hearing, they may hear and not understand, otherwise they might return and be forgiven." My parenthesis is for comparison and my personal study, sorry. I just now noticed that I have compared these verses with Mark 6:35 and Job 36:22. Mark 6:35 says, ""Your daughter has died; why trouble the (Teacher) anymore?" Job 36:22 "Behold, God is exalted in (His) power; Who is a teacher like Him? Who has appointed Him His way, And who has said, 'You have done wrong'? Remember that you should exalt His work, Of which men have sung. All men have seen it; Man beholds from afar. Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him;..." Later, Ray |
