1 | Why is this verse here? | Luke 6:40 | nthnobdvs | 218529 | ||
John, I AM taking the verse in context- that's why I'm trying to understand how this verse fits in between the verses around it. To understand the larger context I think it's necesary to fully understand the smaller pieces of that structure. So to fully understand a book of the Bible you must understand each chapter, then each paragraph, verse... etc. I am trying to understand what God is trying tell us- the only way to do this is, in my opinion, to understand what He said, why He said it, and the way in which He said it; otherwise there is the danger of misinterpretation. Your thoughts were helpful, I just wanted to clarify my approach to reading/understanding the Bible. Thanks! |

2 | Why is this verse here? | Luke 6:40 | Searcher56 | 218540 | ||
God's day to you, nthnobdvs, I look at how the part fits in the whole. Remember the verse and chapter breaks are not inspired, neither are the puncuation marks. I do use the verses and chapters usually. Most of them are placed well. There is also the context of the rest of the Bible. When looking at the (Synoptic) Gospels, we see that there are times when the context for a teaching or event aren't the same. So it can get confusing ... like this passage. It is about the Pharisees being - 39 The blind leaders (Matt 15:14 context - Heartless Potty Mouths) - 41-42 The blind judges (Matt 7:3 context - Focus on the little things) - 43-44 Fruit is known (Matt 7:16-20 context - false prophets) - 45 ... back to Heartless Potty Mouths ... It takes time, but I believe it is all related. Not sure how verse 40 fits, which is about His disciples (Matt 10:24, John 15:20) Stay - ask questions, share your thoughts. Let us learn from each other. Searcher |
