1 | Is the Law abolished? | Matt 5:17 | srbaegon | 137723 | ||
Hello MJH, Here's my issue with calling it an idiom: on face value, it doesn't look like one. It's perfectly understandable as is. To add a cultural impediment is like the New Perspective on Paul (being championed by N.T. Wright, James D.G. Dunn, et al) which state that we can only understand Paul in the context of 2nd temple Judaism. If it's that difficult, I might as well toss my Bible into the recycle bin. I guess my point is this. Why would God inspire a book to be read by a great diversity of people if there is a great preponderance of cultural baggage that must be overcome? It seems more logical to say that it's understandable as read. Steve |

See my reply to kalos below in the thread. He responded to you and I responded to both in that post titled: "Hebrew culture; a help of not". I also look forward to answering you on Mark 7, but one thread at a time. This one has surprised me as is evident in my post stated above. Thanks, Marvin |
