1 | Is The Quote In The Bible? Where? | Deut 23:18 | Gill Fisher | 231998 | ||
The complete quote from the Field and Stream Magazine post says, You folks need to know the Bible says, "Beware the man with the price of a dog in his pocket".Cheap rifles. Well, knew a guy that went by an old TG and Y back in the early 70's to pick up a BB gun for his son. The gun was like 12.95. He argued with the clerk that the Mod 94 Winchester was not a BB gun. Well, about 5 minutes worth of arguing and the clerk finally won. BJ walked out with a .30-30 for 12.95 plus tax.The NEF Handi rifle is tough to beat for cheap. It's really hard to cram "cheap" and "good" into one sentence. NEF does about as good a job of it as anyone else. Bubba" This is a copy and paste except that I had to change some punctuation. "Bubba" seems to be saying something entirely different. He seems to think the quote has to do with buying something that doesn't cost much. I'm not arguing what Deut 23:18 says. And I agree with your explanation of that verse. The Bible is clear on that point in many places. I just have trouble seeing where Deut 23:18 says, "Beware the man with the price of a dog in his pocket." But the lady who asked me the question said that her Pastor, when she was a little girl quoted that statement, "Beware the man with the price of a dog in his pocket" MANY times in his preaching. | ||||||

Dear Gill Fisher, I am afraid it could be difficult to properly associate Deut 23:18 with the old lady's quote (from her memory in her youth) even though she mentioned her pastor quoted that statement many times in his preaching. We could not know why her pastor quote such a statement without knowing the context of his sermons. We understand that secular world like to borrow a bit of the idea from a Bible verse and twist it for their own application. So, my thought is that we cannot be TOO serious about the secular usage. If it is not in the Bible, then just simply tell the lady "NO". Meanwhile, her pastor quoted such statement many times do not necessary mean that it is really a Bible verse. Shalom Azure |
