2 | ever neccessary/permissable to deceit? | Luke 24:31 | Emmaus | 79536 | ||
There is no indication of deception on the part of Jesus. Rather it was a lack of discernment on the part of the disciples that was remedied when Jesus sat down to "break bread" with them. At the breaking of the bread..."their eyes were opened and they recognized him and He disappeared from their sight." This is the same spiritual discernment that comes only by grace. It is the same discerment St. Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 11:24-27. Emmaus |

Emmaus, Thank you for your response. I do certainly agree with you that it was a lack of discernment on the disciples part. However, I wonder what your thoughts are about the part after the seven mile walk when Jesus "acted" as if He were going to continue on walking. Obviously the disciples bought it, as is apparent by their response, but they were believing something that was not true... is this not deception? |

mm42883, greetings, again. This was not deception. Oriental custom to not to invite yourself to someone's home. If He would have walked into the village, that would have been deception ... He had no place to go. The two did what an Oriental should have done - invited Him in. Searcher PS Samuel wasn't playing the deceit game ... read the whole test. |
