Bible Question:
I guess I read Luke 13.1-5 NASB a lot differently than you. 13.1 shows to me a report by "some present", 13.2 shows to me a question asked by Jesus, 13.3 shows to me an answer "no" and the repent command by Jesus, 13.4 shows to me a question asked by Jesus, 13.5 shows to me a repeat of the "no" answer and repent command by Jesus. To me, if a question is asked, the asker wants some form of an answer, verbal or not. I think He used two specific situations to encourage repentance. But repentance of/from what? And how did that repentance fit into the specific illustrations He used? |
Bible Answer: Rick, I believe Doc has answered well. Repentance has only ever meant one thing when spoken of in the Bible in that context, i.e. to turn from sin '180 degrees' and turn to God. It's really not that complicated. They asked Him what He thought about it and He pretty much brushed the question off as not important, then He simply told them to focus on what is important. John |
