1 | Is this invitation open to everyone? | Matt 11:28 | mark d seyler | 164486 | ||
Hi Edwin, Staying with Matt 11:28 for a moment, do you think that this verse means what it says, that as Jesus gives an invitation to "the crowd", that it is a sincere invitation? Do you think that if someone, anyone, picks up the Bible and reads this verse, that Jesus is inviting that person to come to Him? Or do you think that, although this is plainly what it says, that it means something else? Love in Christ, Mark |

Mark, please read the last paragraph first, thank you. The verse means exactly what is says, yes of course it was a sincere invitation. Your sugestion that I might think otherwise is both an insult to Him, and is offensive to me. I asked you a question regarding 3 verses of Scripture, so far you have ignored this. I also made it clear that v 28 must not be considered apart from vs 29 and 30, of which it is a part, for some reason unknown to me you insist on quoting only v 28, and ignoring the other two verses. Our Lord was not in these three verses giving an invitation to His listeners to have their sins forgiven, but is addressing His remarks to those of His hearers that felt that they were "laboring and heavy-laden". Now why do you think that they felt this way. Just read what Jesus had said a short while before as found in Ch 10 fron verse 16 to 39, but especially vs 16-21, and vs 34-36. Is it any wonder that they felt that way.. All that Jesus is doing in refering to "My yoke" is explaining how it is possible to be the sort of servant that God requires. Mark, I know that you had no intention of insulting me, but please do be carefull what you commit to print. The Lord bless you. Edwin. |

Hi Edwin, I appologise for offending you. You are correct, I did not intend to insult you. I did wish to be clear on what you were saying. You have stated of other verses in the past that you thought they had actually meant other than what they "appeared" to be saying, and I only wished to learn if you thought so of this verse. I had asked you a question which you had not answered, except with more questions, and I was hoping to stay with the original question. Thank you for answering that question. Again, I apologize - I meant no offence. Love in Christ, Mark |
