Bible Question:
2 Chronicles 15:3, "And for many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law." John 7:46, NKJ, "The officers answered, "No man [Man?] ever spoke like this Man!" Any comments? |
Bible Answer: Brother Ray: Your reference to 2 Chronicles 15:3 shows us a time when Israel was in bad condition. Do we worship in ignorance? In Acts 17:22-32 we have Paul's skilfull approah to the so called wise people of Athens. As we see in the passage they had alters to various gods and finally an alter to one they did not know "To the unkown God". Paul's response "Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Do you think we have the principle here; that unless we know God, we cannot be true worshippers of him. The people of Athens thought that God was like their idols made "of gold, silver, stone, graven by art and man's device" v. 29 IN contrast in John 4 the woman at the well thought that God was found in some special geographical location. Jesus said to her "the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him" John 4:23 Regarding John7:46 "The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man" Would you think that "No man" is referring to all men who never measure up to this Man? By capitalizing the last Man we are expressing one man?? How would this follow with "This Man(man) receiveth sinners and eateth with them"(Luke 15:2) Or "Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!(Man?)John 19:5 Your brother in Christ Robert |
