Hi John you say Though not all Scripture is written to us, and words spokin are not all spoken to us, it is all still for us. 2 Tim 3:16 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" You seem to have a full understanding of Matt.13:14,15 . Please, apply 2 Tim. 3:16. Just how can these verses concern us, other than knowing, "That Generation" were blinded, as Prophesied in Isaiah? Vintage68 |

Vintage... It's pretty plane to see that this is for all ages. The word of God is active and present in the Scriptures today, just as much as it was alive to those who heard Him speak the words in person two thousand years ago but were spiritually blind and deaf. Plenty of folks today can read the same word of God and not see though they see and not hear though we can read it to them. The Scriptures do not say it was only for that generation, but I think common sense would dictate only that it applied to them at that time. Most of the world at large is spiritually blind and deaf to God's word as we speak... Are you sure you don't want that book? John |

Hi John I concur with you 100 per. cent. when you say, "Plenty of folks today can read the same word of God and not see though they see and not hear though we can read it to them. Most of the world at large is spiritually blind and deaf to God's word as we speak." But when you say this, your just wrong. "The Scriptures do not say it was only for that generation, but I think common sense would dictate only that it applied to them at that time." Mat 13:14,15 14 ( And ( in them ) is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, ) which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 ( For ( this peoples ) heart is waxed gross, ) and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. When Jesus himself says in them the prophesy is fulfilled, and this peoples heart is waxed gross. There is no mistaking who Jesus is talking about, it isn't a piece of scripture that is given to interpretation, it says what it says.This was the beginning point of the blindness of the Jews, towards the Gospel, Paul says. Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. The rendering only apply's to the Jews. They as a people cannot come to the knowledge of the truth, every other nation could if it wanted to. People in general are blind as you say, but GOD has blinded the Jews. Vintage68 |
