God's day to you, brother paul. Verse 16 says "The LORD God commanded the man ..." So it is a command and the consequences. Is when God gives the results of our actions prophecy? It depends on your definition. If it is if God says something will happen and it does - the answer is yes. For me I would say no -I tell my children if they do something what the results will be. Doea that make me a prophet? No. |

Dear Searcher56 Many thanks, would you please look again at 2:17.. 'for in the day that thou eatst thereof'. There is no conditionality, no 'if'. If we compare say Gen 4:7, 'If thou doest well, shall thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.' We know Jesus is 'the door'. (Jn 10:7) The other commands of God are not followed by the statement, or prophecy 'and when you do commit adultery'. Is there something deeper being expressed, maybe man's fall and redemption is part of the plan? Yours and His, in Him, Brother Paul (or should I say searcher80) |

The door in Genesis 4:7 and John 10:7 are only related in name. To relate sin being at the door and Christ beeing the Door is not correct. | ||||||

Hello Brother Paul, This is nonsensical. Tracking an English word through a translation does not work since the original was in a different language. You simply cannot make all these occurances fit together. And might I add, you would have to consider ALL uses of the word "door" to ensure you got it correct. I certainly do not see that here.

Hello Steve, The examples listed were references to the same Hebrew word. There are 164 times 'pethach' occurs, and although I have not as a study checked everyone, when reading through the old testament every time the door is mentioned I have noted that it is a picture of Christ, and His ministry. I have read through several times and have not found a case when it is out of place. In England we have the very old stain glass windows which contain scenes from the old testament which were used to teach Christ. This was a well established teaching of the early church. Is there any debate that when Isaac carried the wood up the mountain to be sacrificed he became a type of Christ carrying his cross? How far does it go? Where does it stop? The apostle Paul uses the same method, 1 Cor 10:1-4, the Red Sea crossing IS a baptism, the physical rock IS Christ. When we read Jude we begin to glimpse the language of the early church when in vs 12 it launches into all the symbolism of the old testament without explanation or pause. These symbols must have been mutually understood, part of their vocabulary. If this is true then it will affect how we read the New Testament. Were the synoptic gospels written with this principle of the physical events picturing a spiritual message in mind? (Rom 1:20) Would the gospel writers be looking back on the life of Christ and think, that's why Jesus sat down there, stood up, or rested his head on a pillow because he was enacting a particular spiritual message? Acts 28:15, Paul saw three taverns, thanked God and took courage. Is there some biblical symbol contained in the image of three taverns that would have encouraged Paul? Nothing is written in stone, just seeking of Him. Yours and His Paul |

Hello Paul, Thank you for filling in those details of your search of the word "pethach". I understand the right use of typology, and there is no question of many types of our precious Lord Jesus. Those shown in the New Testament help us to see others not mentioned. But I have a genuine concern of seeing a type in every instance of a particular word or occasion as it is used in Scripture. For instance, you mention Three Taverns (or Three Inns). This is the name of a town. Paul was glad to see the brethren, not the town--the verse says this. Your speculation is leading you far afield.
