1 | What does Hebrews 9:16 mean? | John 1:1 | Robbert | 211787 | ||
Hebrews 9:16 states that "For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth." How does the panel interpret the meaning of this verse? In a previous question, I noted that I heard a pastor claim that the gospels couldn't be NT books because of a literal interpretation of the above verse. I disagree with the pastor but I still don't know what the verse means. | ||||||
2 | What does Hebrews 9:16 mean? | John 1:1 | Val | 211789 | ||
The word testament is the same as "will". For instance, your father may have a will and in it leave you his house. You would not receive the house until your father died. Similarly the New Covenant did not go into effect until Christ's death. Blessings Val | ||||||
3 | What are the implications's of this v.? | John 1:1 | Robbert | 211790 | ||
Thanks, I do understand your reply but what does it mean to say that the New Covenant did not go into effect until Christ's death? What are the implications of that remark? Does it mean that the gospels are OT books since they tell the events of Christ's life before His death, etc.? | ||||||
4 | What are the implications's of this v.? | John 1:1 | Val | 211791 | ||
Dear Robert, have you studied the bible for yourself or are you only reporting what someone has told you about the bible? | ||||||
5 | Same question | John 1:1 | Robbert | 211792 | ||
As noted, I'd like an explanation of the implications of this verse. | ||||||
6 | Same question | John 1:1 | Val | 211793 | ||
Robert, please mark your followup questions as a note rather than a new question. A thorough observation of the book of Hebrews is warranted by your question. You will only be satisfied when you have studied the book for yourself and discover the answers to your questions as you slow down and use a bible dictionary and cross references to understand the verse in question. It is only after thorough observation can an interpretation be made. You are asking for the interpretation first without doing the leg work yourself. I notice you have been on this topic for some time now. Its time to get down to some serious personal bible study. Welcome to the forum and I hope you take this exhortation in a way that points you to know Christ and His word better. Blessings, Val | ||||||
7 | Same question | John 1:1 | Robbert | 211794 | ||
I've been on this question because I haven't received an answer that bears directly on it. I have done study in Hebrews but still find this verse perplexing--at least from my perspective. From your response it's obvious that the panel cannot answer this question either, since you put it back on me. | ||||||
8 | Same question | John 1:1 | lionheart | 211796 | ||
Robbert, What is it that is perplexing you about Heb 9:16? Taking it in context with the rest of the chapter makes it allot clearer. In Him, lionheart. |
