Doc, at one time or another I believe I've seen all these interpretative mistakes committed on the Forum, some of them many times over. Mercifully hidden away somewhere in the Forum archives is a gruesomely long thread debating, of all things, the meaning of the little word "all" in which we were asked to believe that when the Bible uses all, it doesn't mean all at all. That pill was hard for me to swallow, because where I come from when a man says you all he means every last one of you. The whole shootin' match. ..... I guess the eisegesis business -- forcing an interpretation into a text that simply isn't there -- and taking a passage out of context are the two most frequently seen on the Forum. Many of the "old regulars" on the Forum have posted again and again about the importance of context. Yet the problem persists. Either the warnings against lifting passages out of context don't get read, or if they do, they go in one ear and out the other two. :-) --Hank | ||||||

Did all the world go after Christ? [Note: In the following quote the discussion is not about the English word all. Rather it is a discussion of the meaning(s) of the Greek word that is translated all in the English NT.] NASB Luke 6:30 "Give to everyone (3956) who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back. Strong's Number: 3956 Transliterated Word: Pas 'Definition '1. individually a. each, every, any, all, the whole, everyone, all things, everything '2. collectively a. some of all types '..."the whole world has gone after him" Did all the world go after Christ? '"then went all Judea, and were baptized of him in Jordan." Was all Judea, or all Jerusalem, baptized in Jordan? '"Ye are of God, little children, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one". Does the whole world there mean everybody? 'The words "world" and "all" are used in some seven or eight senses in Scripture, and it is very rarely the "all" means all persons, taken individually. The words are generally used to signify that Christ has redeemed some of all sorts -- some Jews, some Gentiles, some rich, some poor -- and has not restricted His redemption to either Jew or Gentile...'

"Truly sir, all that I live by is the awl. I meddle with no tradesman's matters, nor women's matters, but with awl. I am indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes. A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with a safe conscience; which is, indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles. I beseech you, sir, be not out with me, yet if you be out, sir, I can mend you" (Shakespere: "Julius Caesar," Act 1, Scene 1). ...... Awl things considered, Kalos, we are in the debt of the Bard of Stratford for clearing this matter up once and for awl. ...... It was he who also gave us -- well almost -- the famous lines, "Oil's well that ends well" and "What fuels these mortals be." ..... With that I will end, sir, hoping awl's well with thee. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: Who is this guy Brad? I never heard of Brad of Stratford. Is it an English restaurant or what? And Stratford -- isn't that the world headquarters of the Avon cosmetics corporation? --Kalos |

Kalos, congratulations! I thought I had you on this one, but you're too smart for me. You figured it out. Actually, the Brad of Stratford isn't exactly a restaurant, but you're close. The Brad of Stratford, Ltd. is a British firm that actually produces brads, but no tacks. They are a tacks-exempt organization. And yes, the international headquarters of the Avon cosmetics corporation is also located in Stratford. And did you know that Stratford has no male citizens? They're all Avon ladies. Read Psalm 23 tonight. It has nothing to do with Brad of Stratford or Avon, but it will do all of us good to read it. Don't miss it if you can. --Hank | ||||||

Hank: A tacks-exempt organization? Stratford has no male citizens? You've got me beat in the humor department. Said I not unto thee that thou art the Mark Twain of Arkansas? John |
