Subject: What was the name of Lot´s wife? |
Bible Note: Hello EdB, Thank you for your response and concern in this matter. I believe the scripture is very clear about not letting any man deceive us. I’m no Bible expert, But, let me run this by you, for your consideration. I am reading along in the Word of God , and I come across these references to the book of Jasher, that two great men of God, Joshua and David are directing my attention to. (As a means of validating what they are saying.) So , my interest is aroused, and I search out and obtain a copy of this book. I will admit I have not read the whole way through the book as my studies send me off in different directions to find information. I was a little concerned last night after reading Taleb’s reply, where it was pointed out to me that neither reference was valid. What?!!! I knew that the account of Joshua was in there so I looked at that first, and yes, it’s still there. If I could talk to Joshua, I would tell him, Yes, I’ve read of the account of which you speak, and it is written in Jasher. My main concern was David’s reference in 2Sam 1:18, I had not checked it out, ( Forgive me, and Thank you for helping to keep me honest). So, I went and started reading, and guess what, I found it! So now also, if I could talk to David, I could tell him, Yes , I have seen where it is written. Now , I’m dry, what I need is this, “more than a little proof”, you speak of. I mean if this book is wrong, or contrary to the scriptures, I want to check it out and make sure before I toss it out. But, if it is true or at least worthy of noting, I would like to be able to glean information from it. For example, the name of Lot’s wife. I also doubt the writer of Jasher forgot to write anything as it was apparently written before Joshua and David referred to it. I realize that this book (Jasher) is not the inspired Word of God.( If a subject of disagreement arose between God’s Word and Jasher, The Holy Scriptures would win out hands down.) This does however appear to be an excellent history book, with between the lines information of early Biblical accounts. Also consider this, God’s Word says it is written in Jasher, Is it not calling God a liar, If we deny the what the Word tells us. I looked and these things are written in the Book of Jasher. Now you have two contrary accounts of the references to this book, My account is agreeable with scripture, Biblical experts refute it as a deception. Someone is lying, You judge for yourself. I will provide the references if you are interested, Or you could do like I did and check it out for yourself. Anyway, Who would waste time and read through a book that has been labeled as deception just to check to see if the Bible experts are telling the truth. Let no man deceive you with empty words. I want to add that it was not my intention to defend the Book of Jasher, ( I do think it was unduly maligned) and it will have to stand on its own. But to defend the Word of God , I hope you can see where Biblical experts have denied the Word of God. Yours in truth, wordoer |
