Bible Note: Dear JVH0212, Yes, and I am most certainly in agreement with you here. However, this whole 'judgment of a city' interpretation has come up before, I hate to say.. And again, we are responding to misinterpretations of the verses or concepts applied. To find the "old" thread that deals with 'judgements upon cities' one need only search for the Matthew 11:22 thread or just look up the word "firehydrants" and you will find the thread instantly.. :) In that thread we also dealt with the 'placement of blame' and countered misinterpretation that referred to judgment upon a city.
