1 | What scripture is Jesus referring to? | John 6:45 | DPOAG | 216266 | ||
What scripture do you think Jesus is refering when quoting "And they shall be taught of God"? | ||||||
2 | Sin causes sickness | John 5:14 | DPOAG | 216091 | ||
About Jesus' statement saying "something worse may happen to you". Do you think that Jesus was saying that sin is what caused his sickness or that that he is referring to the results of sin being eternal death? | ||||||
3 | Fear of Christ interupting our world | Mark 5:15 | DPOAG | 205369 | ||
It's interesting that they were afraid. Often miracles draw people to Jesus but they "entreated him to leave". He must have created too many waves and they didn't want him upsetting the region anymore - even if he was rockin' the boat with miracles. | ||||||
4 | The Lord has need of them or it | Matt 21:7 | DPOAG | 185510 | ||
Oh I noticed that in Matthew it says to tell the people that the Lord has need of "them" whereas the Luke and Mark say the Lord has need of "it". Do you think that is just a matter of the perspective of the writer recounting what he heard or saw? | ||||||
5 | Does Zech 9 indicate one or two donkeys? | Matt 21:7 | DPOAG | 185509 | ||
Thank you again Tim. | ||||||
6 | Was there a donkey and a foal? | Matt 21:7 | DPOAG | 185507 | ||
Wow, thank you Doc. You might notice the question I posted for Tim about the donkey issue. You had mentioned that there was a possibility that the doney had a foal. I re-read the text and it does say in Mathew "and brought the donkey and the colt". Any further thoughts into this excruciatingly minute detail? Thanks. |

7 | Does Zech 9 indicate one or two donkeys? | Matt 21:7 | DPOAG | 185506 | ||
Tim, It is very kind of you to take the time to answer questions. I didn't not even notice the fact that it says he sat on the coats, not the donkey. I guess that would have helped! My next question is do you find it curious that Matthew indicates two donkeys as Wikipedia alludes to as being a fabrication. Let me say it this way, do you interpret Zechariah 9 to mean that there are two donkeys or one donkey supporting that the poetic style is really meaning one donkey. Honestly this seems silly talking about one or two donkeys but I appreciate your thoughts. |

8 | Why does Matthew indicate two donkeys? | Matt 21:7 | DPOAG | 185500 | ||
At Wikipedia.com - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Sunday it says that Matthew fabricated the element of this account of the triumphal entry by adding the donkey and it's colt so as to help fulfill his misinterpretation of the prophesy in Zechariah 9 (the correct interpretation, per Wikipedia, being that it was really only describing a foal alone as is indicative of the poetical style of that day). Matthew is the only gospel to indicate two donkeys I believe. What are your thoughts on Jesus riding two donkeys and the validity of the claim that Matthew fabricated that portion of the story to fit his interpretation of the propheshy? Here is the quote from Wikipedia at the website listed above: "Matthew quotes this passage from Zechariah when narrating the story of Jesus' entry to Jerusalem. His interpreting or even misunderstanding the repetition in the Hebrew poetry as describing two different donkeys: gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. is offered by some Biblical scholars as a reason for Matthew's unique description of Jesus riding both a donkey and its foal." |
