1 | Is it a person or a thing that restrains | 2 Thess 2:6 | SparedByMercy | 203362 | ||
6 And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Is it a HE or a WHAT that restrains the man of lawlessness? I would love to know what the Greek text says. In my KJV with Strong's numbers I can't see anything but the verb for "restrain" - no "who" and no "what". |

2 | Scribe that brings out both old and new | Matt 13:52 | SparedByMercy | 201465 | ||
Hello. Please help me with that verse. I know it is a conclusion of all the parables Jesus told of the Kingdom of Heaven in chapter 13 and of verses 11 and 12. Wesley says here: "Every scribe instructed unto the kingdom of heaven - That is, every duly prepared preacher of the Gospel has a treasure of Divine knowledge, out of which he is able to bring forth all sorts of instructions." But are these the famous scribes of Jesus' time who "Sat in the seat of Moses"? Is this about some of them who will believe that Jesus is the Messiah? "Things new and old" in the NLT is translated: "new teachings as well as the old". What are those teachings? Jesus did amplify some of the teachings of the law and his death made others useless, such as the clean and unclean animals and the sacrifices. Or is he referring to the time when some of the Jewish Christians insisted that the gentiles be surcumcised? In that case the scribe should not bring out both old and new teachings out of his storehouse. Only the new. Thanks in advance |
