Subject: josiebible, where does it say we can ask |
Bible Note: "That is the context, you keep on leaving out verses 15-17." No, I have stated that these verses are dealing with discipline. You said... "Moreover, you still have not shown me where "prayer" is in the context of this passage ... do not cite man ... cite only Scripture." When did I 'cite' man? I did cite scripture, but you can not hear. The notes were my understanding of the scriptures which IS part of a Bible study is it not? You have done so quite frequently and so far you have not given scripture for some of YOUR conclusions. Such as Paul using the foreign languages on his many missionary journeys...This is assumption based on your conclusions, not scriptural fact. Where do I find 'prayer' in this text? Any two agree on earth about anything they may ASK. Asking is praying,asking who? The prayers are directed to God because He is the one who responds. This is prayer. 19 "Again I say to you, that if two of you AGREE on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. 20 "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst." Also, if you will notice apparently the NASB translaters agree because their 'header for this text is Discipline and Prayer. As for the remainder of the chapter it deals with forgiveness. "I believe there is at least one OT cross reference (Deu 19:15-17)." Yes, this is applicable to verses 15-17. God bless |
