1 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | budderfligh | 198310 | ||
Hi Jeff, Gosh! You guys really keep people on their toes don't you? I can see that I shall have to be much more cautious in chosing my words when posting to this forum! :-) Ok, I understand what you're saying now and will have to agree that the text does not necessarily say what the reason was for God to "lay my hand upon Egypt", but I still interpret this to be a bad thing that was going to happen to Egpyt and I really don't know whether it was punishment or judgement. After pondering these two words I can understand the difference between them even though theologically speaking I probably don't grasp the full significance of the difference between them. You've given my mind something to chew on and I've already decided to search for previous threads on these two words. Thank you for the challenge! I also gave Ex. 11:7-10 as part of my original answer and stated that God is sovereign and that He wanted to make a difference between His people and the Egyptians which seems to follow your main line of thought also. Thank you for reminding me of Isa 55:8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. God bless and keep you, budderfligh |

budderfligh- we certainly do all work hard to keep each other on our toes. It's the only forum that I have found on the internet that has a long standing history of strict adherence to the authority of Scripture. If you are ever so board you can research some of my posts and see not only where I have missed the mark, but had others redirect and correct my statements. How valuable it has been for me to have others give me feedback and challenge me to consider my own thoughts and conclusions about certain things in Scripture. I know this might sound like nothing more than a cliche, but the truth is that my involvement on the forum has truly helped me to understand that what I do know about God and His word is far less than I had at one point believed it to be. That alone was and is essential to spiritual growth I believe. I am truly thankful for the forum and for Lockman's commitment to it's integrity. Thank you for your response. Once again I find myself convicted by the humility of another. God bless, Jeff |
