1 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | retxar | 66882 | ||
Charis, I know this is where this exchange was supposed to end, but I have 2 small issues with your last post that I fell I must address and then I will cease. 1. You wrote: “Please do not accuse me of following tradition, that would not 'stick' on me! :-)” What brought this on? I re-read my posts, and am at a loss as to what you are talking about? Are you sure I was the one that said what you thought I said to prompt this response from you? Anyway, I apologize to you, sir, if you thought I implied this in anyway. I promise, the thought (of you following tradition) never crossed my mind! 2. Your comments that I was assuming too much to determine the children were NOT the disciple’s: If you would examine the text carefully, you are sure to agree with me too! The ones who were rebuked were not the children, as you have assumed, rather the ones rebuked were the ones who brought them! “Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.” (Mar 10:13 NKJV). So unless Jesus was rebuking the disciples for rebuking themselves, I think it is safe to say the children were not their own. retxar |

Dear retxar, Greetings in the name of Jesus! 10 Friend, no apologies are demanded at all! I was simply making a rhetorical statement to preclude the possibility that I was following the tradional (the commentaries) viewpoint. Truly, I was not implying that YOU were accusing me. I am sorry that it came out wrong. Though we are holding a 'conversation,' it is on a public forum, and some might think I was only parroting the commentators. The 'won't stick' part was a joke, because few that know me could accuse me of holding to 'tradition.' Again, my fellow saint, this was not directed to you, and I am the one to apologize. 2) I stand corrected. That particular passage is clear that it is not the disciple's children. I did not check this out before posting. Nonetheless, these children were probably those of 'seekers of Jesus,' as it is implied that they were still 'in the house' that Jesus was staying in while the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan (vs. 10:1 and 10:10). It seems unlikely that they were non-Jews or even the children of the Pharisees, so I came to the conclusion that they were the children of 'followers' of Christ, but not 'capital-D' Disciples, who did the rebuking, and received a rebuke for it! Sorry for the slip! (blushing with shame!) Brother (I think! When ARE you going to give a user profile?!?!), I am not being facetious or pugnacious in any way. Really! I've lived in Japan the majority of my life, speak Japanese all day long, eat Japanese food, and even sometimes translate my words Japanese to English in my writing. Though educated in English, it is sometimes like a second language, not my first. I apologize if my (weird, misplaced) humor is not understandable. I'll try harder in the future! Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
