1 | isnt the full armour of god also in exdo | Eph 6:13 | INRI | 189513 | ||
In the Old Testament, God's full armor is mentioned in Ezekiel: Ezek 38:4 | ||||||
2 | For Jews, 7 of anything was plenty | Luke 8:2 | INRI | 188799 | ||
In Hebrew, the number 7 signifies completeness. For a person to have 7 demons may indicate that she was completely possessed. Because she was a woman, seven demons may be a euphanism indicating Mary Magdalene committed every kind of sin, including sexual sins. From there it is a simple, but not a necessary jump, to assume that she was a prostitute. This may account for the urban legend that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Regardless, Mary was a very fallen woman who was redeemed by the love of Jesus. Her spiritual resurrection offers hope for anyone recovering from slavery to sin. |

9 | No contradiction here | Prov 26:5 | INRI | 188661 | ||
4 and 5 do not contradict each other. These two passages in such close proximity indicate that there is a fine line in responding to someone foolish. If we are sincere, humble, and charitable, our response will embrace and advance both of us. If we are not careful, we can be drawn in to the fray, become indignant and superior, and drop to the level of the fool. The call of St. Peter in Luke 5:4-11 is a perfect example of a wise response. When Jesus asked Peter to cast his nets again, he could have responded with indignity. After all, he made his living fishing. He knew where and when to fish. He was the expert. What were Jesus' credentials? Jesus was asking Peter to forget what he knew and perform an exercise in futility. Fortunately Peter responded with humility and acquiesced. Peter understood that love subordinates knowledge. Knowledge puffs us up, but love builds up. (I Corinthians 8:1) |

11 | reconcile Mark 6:8 and Luke 9:3 | Mark 6:8 | INRI | 188635 | ||
I like it because it is amusing. It stops you cold in your tacks with a quick read. It is a good example of how we need to be attentive, not just surface readers. I do not see it as a contradiction. It does not perplex me at all and my faith is strong. But that is not what this is about. It is about scriptures, not beliefs. Regarding translations, they can easily flex to handle obvious issues like this. I wonder how the original text reads. Unfortunately, I can't find the text in the Septuagint to see how similar they are. I can't translate Hebrew. I appreciate your offer to coach though. Again, sorry for the "folly". |

12 | reconcile Mark 6:8 and Luke 9:3 | Mark 6:8 | INRI | 188632 | ||
Both Jeremiah and Zechariah spoke from the same Spirit. It was not either one's words but the Holy Spirit. Jeremiah 32 spoke of the purchase of land in a superior prophecy. Zechariah spoke of the purchase of the potter's field for 30 pieces of silver. Have you noticed that when a combination of prophecies are quoted, only one prophet gets the credit? This happens in one of the quotes about John the Baptist (John's Gospel). |

13 | reconcile Mark 6:8 and Luke 9:3 | Mark 6:8 | INRI | 188630 | ||
I always liked this one because they are side by side: Proverbs 26:4-5 Answer not a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him. Answer a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes and conceit. |

14 | Is it ok to sell books or eat in church. | John 2:16 | INRI | 188516 | ||
Maybe the lesson is about who is going to profit from the sales? Many churches and ministries rely on fund raisers. These services benefited some Jews, making them better equipped to worship. It was a convenience for them. However, conducting business in the temple detracted from the holiness of the temple and the worship of God. | ||||||
15 | "Where are you staying" and the Sabbath | John 1:38 | INRI | 188463 | ||
This was an unusual first question directed to the "Lamb of God." This would certainly not have made my list of questions. Why did they ask it? The question was an important one to Jews on the Sabbath because the Sabbath rest, as interpreted by their leaders, limited the travel an observant Jew could make. Instead of providing data so they could calculate whether they could safely move within the limits, Jesus issued them an invitation -- Come and see. This immediately lead them to decide whether they would follow Jesus the Christ or follow their leaders directives. Additionally, they remained for the rest of the day. This also would agree with the argument that that this action took place on the Sabbath. |
