1 | dead bury the dead? | NT general Archive 1 | EdB | 53185 | ||
Shalom I have to disagree. You will never convince me God in all His infinite knowledge would write a guide book of Life to His children that would require outside understanding to comprehend what He meant. The Bible was written to all. That means all ages, all cultures, all ethic groups, ALL. I know many times the Bible is explained away by, “oh this was a custom of the time and we can ignore that.” However I have found in most cases the answer offered by man as being a cultural custom really down plays the true meaning of the scripture. Now please don’t misunderstand me I’m not saying your down playing scripture or any thing of the sort. What I’m saying is the meaning of this passage is clearly not dealing with a dead man but rather a feeble excuse. One offered by many that are called today. “I can’t go now how about later”. Jesus was clearly stating if your spiritually attune to me get a move on time is short. If not then go bury your dead for you are also dead. EdB |

Shalom, Ed Here's another to add to Simchat's list: Compare Matt. 11:12 with Micah 2:13 and make a connection between them without knowing something about the idioms of the day. Radar |

Radar did you see the birds circling and rush in? Your right! If I read that in KJV I would have no idea what was being said. However I read the Nasb and NKJV and they both maketh sense on thy verses. sorry I'm just be ornery forgive me brother. What I meant by my remark you referring to is the God's law, principals, precepts, command, statues, truths for life are not hidden in social custom, obscure objects, places, or things. Yes we need outside sources to explain even crucifixion but we can still understand Jesus died on the cross. EdB |
