Subject: during the 3 days? |
Bible Note: Hello G. Preston, Thanks for your question. My reaction was based on the answers given by the poster to the original question, "where was Jesus during the time between his death and resurrection?" I may have better termed the answers as "unqualified", since they were largely given as fact. I was merely pointing out that those answers did not match up (very) well with the scripture references. The regard for context was missing and the support from any other authorities, i.e. scholars was lacking IMO. My experience on the SBF has taught me many things. One is we need to be mindful of (myself included) the result of and consequence of what we post. There are many people who daily come to the SBF asking questions and seeking answers. This entails a significant responsibility and we owe it that our replies be well studied and supported. (This doesn't mean to imply there isn't room for disagreement on non-essentials, etc.) Personally, I strive to be mindful of these things: 2 Tim. 2:15- 1. If I don't know the answer to a question (which happens regularly), I don't answer. I try to avoid "off-the-top-of-my-head" type responses. Or, I wait until I've had time to study and consider it more fully; 2. I take time to review my many notes on various topics and books of the Bible to refresh my memory; 3. I also utilize my Libronix (Electronic Bible Library) to research the Greek, Hebrew (if need be),and consult various Commentaries to gain better perspective; Lastly, as you may well realize, this is a public Forum and as such all of our posts are open to scrutiny by our peers.
