Subject: Is "to salt" to mean "to destroy?" |
Bible Note: Awesome stuff!! I just signed on yesterday and read some of your threads; lionheart,Doc and MJH. I Love it. This stuff is the meat and potatoes. I'm no where as learned as you but my imediate thought on the salt issue is what Lionheart says near the end. What is salt used for? seasoning and preserving. And in the case of of Lot's wife and references to destruction: it could be the preservation of one in the non-presence of God for eternity, a place you don't want to be!! Then there is the good part of salt, as in seasoning. It is interesting that it shows the duality of things. Such as a little wine is good for the stomach (1 Timothy 5:23)but to much can lead to trouble(Proverbs 20:1). And the story of 2 prisoners given a Bible one reads it and is saved the other tears out the pages, eats them, chokes and dies. The Bible has the pathway fo us to life and death.
