1 | House vs Business | Luke 2:49 | hgwill | 74905 | ||
I'd like to brainstorm (Spirit filled, of course!), about a phrase in Luke 2:49. The "NASB" has the young Jesus referring to His "..Father's house", and the "AMPLIFIED" and KJV, has Him referring to His "..Father's business." Now, before we start, I'd like you folks to know that I'm not bringing this up for debate or argument, just clarification and/or further expounding. I have seen several references to the fact that, the "business" actually should have read "house," and other's saying a miriad of other things. So, I think the impression I'm getting is that the original Greek may shed further light on this phrase, but I don't know Greek!(I'm sure someone does and can expound on that.) So, is the real intention of this phrase, implying that Jesus felt at home in His Father's house (the Temple), taking care of His Father's business? |

2 | Again, was Adam there? (Part II) | Gen 3:6 | hgwill | 27975 | ||
Robert, Seasons Greetings to you also, in His Holy Name! I appreciate your insightful answers. I pray you realize that the ultimate answer to this question in Genesis, and many other Scriptures, will come only from Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when we meet Him in the clouds. It matters not to me whether or not Adam was at the scene, at the precise moment when this conversation took place. What does really matter is, that it happened, and was the cause for our downfall. Since Adam was a type of Christ, if he were there, his action(s, or lack thereof) were certainly not Christ-like attributes. It's illustrative of one of the central themes of Scriptures, in that, man cannot make it in (to Heaven) on his own, without help from above. In spite of having a "one-on-one" relationship with the Father, Adam chose to take the 'easy' way out of situations, and not take responsibility for his own actions. I pray, continuously, that if faced with a similar situation(s), that He deliver me, lest I tend to "judge" Adam too stictly. Again, thank you Sir! Holiday Greetings, and Blessing to you and your family! |

3 | Again, was Adam there? | Gen 3:6 | hgwill | 27965 | ||
I realize the first rule for interpreting Scripture is to "read-it-like-it-is." The argument I was attempting to use is this: "If I were out with my wife, and someone attempted to get 'familiar' with her, the outcome would not be the same." Secondly, some other versions read that she took it to her husband. If Adam were there, at the exact instance that the conversation was going on, I contend that the situation would have been different. I also realize that other factors like, jealousy, envy, and those other things had not yet entered the picture. But, common sense, or unction, was clearly still on the scene. | ||||||
4 | Was Adam there at that moment? | Gen 3:6 | hgwill | 27960 | ||
As you can see from Genesis 3:6, Eve made a decision, based on faulty information, to do something against God's instructions. My question is this. Was Adam physically with her, in her and satan's presence, while satan was making his argument to her? I say no. | ||||||
