Bible Note: Hi Doc, I have one more question for you, if I may. In Ezekiel, Ezekiel 18:4 "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die." This seems to me to be a generalized statement, certaily given within the context of addressing the attitude of the captives, and their failure to take responsibility for their actions, but also generically applicable, describing a principle. God could have said something like "your souls are mine, you sinned, so you will die." Instead, there are not qualifiers. I see someone stuck on freeway, with a gas can in hand, and I say, "the car that runs out of gas stops." The referent is one car on the 405, but the application is every car. This is how I look at this passage. What do you think? Love in Christ, Mark |
