1 | Why was the samarian woman right? | John 4:16 | casiv | 20112 | ||
Tim, Thanks for answering, but that is not correct either. Gal 6:8 tells us through Paul, that the Holy Spirit says we are to plant a seed of spiritual understanding, which is uncorruptible, not a seed of fleshy understanding. The flesh is weak, and corruptible, it dies and will go back to the ground it came from, but the spirit has eternal life and will go back to the Father who gave it. The right answer to the question is: 2 Cor 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. This does not mean a physical virgin, but a spiritual virgin as we see the next verse confirms. 2 Cor 11:3 but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled(wholly seduced) Eve through his subtility, so your minds should be corrupted(to spoil with fleshy understanding) from the simplicity that is in Christ. Isa 42:7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. The Father will send His Servant to release people from a spiritual prison not a physical prison, and we know who holds people prisoner by the next verse. Isa 14:17 That made the world as a wildernes, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners. Jesus says: Matt 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, "What shall we eat?" or, "What shall we drink?" or, "Wherewithal shall we be clothed?" Matt 6:32 (For all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all those things. Matt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. We are to read and understand spiritually. |

Question.................. So, are you saying that all of Scripture must be read as a spiritual allegory or parable? Is it that we must always go beyond the text for a deeper spiritual understanding? Steve |

Hi Steve, I would prefer to say get into the Word in depth instead of "go beyond". All will be revealed in its appointed time and this is our promise from the Father. Yes, read the scripture, all of it, for spiritual understanding as spiritual allegory or parable. But, again you really must understand the parable of the sower and the wheat and the tares, it is the good seed and the bad seed, this is the beginning to understanding scripture. Hope this helps! Peace, Casiv |

Casiv ... no, No, NO ... You should not take ALL of Scripture as a spiritual allegory or parable to understand it. There are geneologies, laws, history, prophecy ... that I'd not take that way. Why do you? Searcher |
