1 | Why were they called wise/foolish virgin | Matthew | bowler | 207477 | ||
JKERR There has been a lot of things said about these virgins, the wise and the foolish, but I have never heard that because they did not have sex that both groups were the wise and the foolish virgins. If it was that none of them had sex seeing as how they were all virgins, then what would make 5 of them unwise? Having sex? I don't think that would make sense, a virgin is a virgin. The wise virgins were wise because they got ready for Jesus to come get them as the bride of Christ, as the church, so they could go to the wedding banquet, in heaven. The foolish virgins were foolish becuase they knew about Jesus but did not get ready for Him to come and get them to take them to the wedding feast, to heaven. The wise ones took Jesus as savior, faith in promises of salvation as the lamps full of oil. The foolish ones new the promises of salvation but did not go get faith, empty lamps without oil. Mathew 24:13 Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour. blessings abound, bowler |

2 | Why were they called wise/foolish virgin | Matthew | son of god | 207497 | ||
the designation virgin has nothing to do with sex! In scripture an unmarried woman was called a virgin see I Corinthians chapter 7, if christ is the bridegroom which he is then no one is married until he comes. get your mind out of the gutter. The foolish ones were the ones not prepared for the Lords comming. | ||||||
3 | Why were they called wise/foolish virgin | Matthew | bowler | 207502 | ||
son of god I am well aware that a virgin in the Bible is the designation of all unmarried women! I was not making "the designation that virgin has anything to do with sex". I was making the point that a virgin by virtue of the definition of the word virign is not one who has sex, or else they would cease to be one... My mind was not in the gutter; I tried to use sound reasoning to demonstrate that the foolish virgins were foolish because they did not get ready for Jesus to come, and I demonstrated before hand that their virginity was never the issue becuase that is not a possiblity, a virgin is a virgin. I don't know if you can see the difference now, between what you are saying in your post here, and what I was trying to convey in my previous post? That it is impossible for the foolish virgins to be foolish for the reasons the original questioner answered their own post with? Mathew 25:32 All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. blessings abound, bowler |
