1 | Please explain this verse? | Mark 15:34 | kalos | 1551 | ||
Subject: Please explain this verse? Mark 15:34 Note: "That's the way I see it too. It's too bad no one responded to you directly." What in the world is this forum coming to? Out of more than a dozen replies, only one person responded to the question directly? What a pity that only one among us had the great wisdom and knowledge to respond directly -- capitalized pronouns and all! Yeah, right. |

2 | Please explain this verse? | Mark 15:34 | bcbloyd | 1587 | ||
In following this forum string, I'm afraid I must admit to a bit of confusion as to who is replying to whom and the comments concerning only one direct response to the original question: "Please explain Mark 15:34." I cannot speak for the others who replied to the original question, but I would like to state it was my understanding that the question was a request to explain why Jesus screamed the words He did: thus, explaining the reasons for the whole verse of Mark 15:34. That's why I offered the response I did earlier, pointing out that the cry He made was a quote from Psalms. It wasn't until later in the string, that the original questioner, Delores, asked for an explanation of the meaning of those exact words "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" from Psalms 22, as quoted in Mark 15. It was certainly not my intention to "avoid responding to the question directly," and indeed thought I had replied to the question as I understood it. Please forgive me if I'm somehow misunderstanding the notes posted thus far. What did you mean by "capitalized pronouns and all! Yeah, right"? With Delores' rephrasing of the question to focus on the meaning of the exact words spoken by Jesus in Mark (as quoted from Psalms), I agree with your reply, JVHO212, using quotes from the MacArthur Study Bible. I do believe that's the reason behind Psalms 22:1, what I view as possibly the saddest statement in all the Bible. Thank you for providing that input. |

Dear bcloyd: Let me try to clarify my comment a bit. When I wrote "It's too bad no one responded to you directly," it was not I who was making that remark. I was merely quoting another member who said that. I was being facetious in my comments. Certainly there was more than one direct reply to the question. I don't think my own answer was too bad. It was not I who accused you of avoiding to respond directly to the question. The very idea that only one of us did is absurd. Your answer is a perfectly sound one. No criticism of you was intended. If you will go to the tree (diagram of the original question and its answers) and read the comments posted on 03-21-2001, 8:50 PM, "That's the way I see it, too," I think you will better understand my previous reply.

Dear JVH0212, Thanks for the clarification. Sometimes, on these forums, it's hard to follow who's replying to whom and about what???? :) In any case, I still agree with your own answer (as posted on 3-21 at 3:14) to the question about the meaning of the exact words spoken by Jesus. God bless, bcbloyd |
