1 | Significance of three pecks? | Matt 13:33 | Mommapbs | 147967 | ||
According toI VP Bible Background Commentary, three pecks of flour was all a woman could knead. What is the significance of this to the verse? I had always thought that numbers were specifically meaningful in Scripture. mommapbs |

Seek the plain meaning of Scripture 'Kabbalah* does hold to the inspiration of Scripture, but does not seek the plain meaning of Scripture. The Kabbalah approach is mystical and very subjective, using such things as numerology to find "hidden" meaning. Through this method, almost any teaching that one desires could be "found" in Scripture. This goes against the very heart of communication. God provided Scripture that He might communicate with mankind and teach humanity of Himself. It is obvious that Scripture is meant to be taken at face value and Not mystical interpretation. This can be demonstrated by fulfilled prophecy. God said something would happen, and it happened as He said it would. The greatest example of this is the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning the first coming of Jesus Christ. The were hundreds of verses referring to His coming, and they were fulfilled literally (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; Micah 5:2; Isaiah 53). This is why the Bible should be interpreted literally or normally.'

Kalos, I just asked a simple question about the significance of three pecks or measures and now a discourse on numerology and the Kabbala (which I am not at all familiar with - should I be?) I thought that SBF was a place I could ask a sincere question without having my motives or whatever questioned, criticized or dismissed. As you can probably read here, I am a tad bit offended. mommapbs |

Momma: I apologize for offending you. It was never my intention to do that. I never thought that you were going off into any sort of mysticism. I didn't mean for what I posted to be taken personally. All I wanted to do was to point out that some people go too far when assigning meaning to Bible numbers -- meaning that simply is not there. My post was not a criticism of you. I have the highest regard for you. Grace and shalom, Kalos |
