Subject: Bible to be taken literally? |
Bible Note: Greetings Searcher! May I respectfully disagree with you my friend? Mt. 5:18 says, "I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished." The 'until' clause which modifies 'will not disappear' is the last one - 'until everying is accomplished'. The first 'until' clause modifies the entire verse - i.e. - the following is true until heaven and earth disappear. But, as I see it, the last clause is the one which tells when the 'letters' will disappear. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
