AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 37:28 Then as the Midianite [and Ishmaelite] traders were passing by, the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and they sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And so they took Joseph [as a captive] into Egypt. |
Subject: Situations in Joseph's life? |
Bible Note: G'day to you too, Searcher, I admit that I was egotist enough to think that a blog on Joseph might have been in response to recent submissions, but the date on that one didn't register. This whole forum is still new to me. However, who knows whether or not Bruce is still reading forum submissions. He actually said he was not a true Christian, and I thought it my duty to add my admonition to the ones that I was sure he'd been given by wiser heads and hearts, such as yours and Hank's, if he'd been on the forum for any length of time, as I said to him. Was I wrong? You did try to help him when he was active, didn't you? If he was studying the bible at all, I wanted to encourage that. If he was trying to get us to do his homework for him, I didn't think that would be good for him, (The question he posed sounded like he took it from some kind of lesson plan, didn't it?); so I tried to put the ball back in his court, so to speak, answering in his own style to show him how contrived it was. I certainly hope such a soul winning effort is not a topical study or a group discussion outside the purview of our forum. You see, like you, I'm a searcher too. Restate |
