1 | What is preaching Christ? | John 7:17 | mitchm0521 | 167569 | ||
Even if it doesn't indicate 'cause' as you say. I'll believe that... actually give me some insight, I understand we read the Greek, and go on it, but is that what Jesus would have spoken in, or would he have spoken in Aramaic? Anyways.... the text clearly shows that the persecutions come with the 100 fold. So we can easily say if you have the 100 fold.. you have the persecutions.. .and on the same note, you can also say that if you dont hae the 100 fold, those persecutions that come with giving up something for the Lord, won't be with you then will they? If you get A, you get B. To get rid of B, don't get A... correct? |

Greetings Mitch! It really doesn't matter what language Jesus spoke, since the inspired word of God was written in Greek (at least the NT was). We have to go by what the text actually says, not what we want it to say. Your final A / B illustration doesn't work because a) We don't know the relationship between A and B; and b) Persecution is common to all believers in Scripture. :-) Anyway, I have to get to bed. I work nights! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Well you can try to read it however you want. From what I see in the passsage, the Word says if you give up those things, you get 100 fold in return (except wives ) and you get persecutions. When I learned cause and effect in grammar school I was tarught you don't have to use the words such as because and since, it can be implied. And when you tell me that I get such and such, and say with such and such, then you easily show me that one comes with the other, meaning if I don't have one, i wont get that other. I know bleievers suffer persecution but I bleive this scripture is showing us that there is persecution which comes wtih this 100 fold return. Meaning, someone who has the 100 fold in their lives, might be suffering something that someone who doesn't. Thats all I'm saying, the word says persecution comes with the 100 fold. Its that simple. God Bless, Mitch |
