Bible Note: Rick, I'm going to start by apologizing for my tardiness in responding to this post. There has been quite a bit of drama and heartache in my walk lately, I was distracted at the time, and so I hope you will extend your patience and grace to me for my untimely response. You do make a good point as Brother Doc has pointed out, and of course Doc's post should be regarded with equal attention. This is not intended to discourage or embarrass you, Rick, but to remind all of us how important it is to study the Scriptures carefully. The reference to Luke 13 and the "question" in question, was not asked by Jesus, nor did He use it to remind us to "dig deeper" -though there is nothing wrong with that and should be encouraged- The question was actually asked by other then our Lord and, He used it to remind us to "repent" as He tells the folks who asked the question, or theirs, and indeed our fate, would be the same as those who perished under the tower and those who Pilate had murdered. As He would so often do, Our Lord didn't even bother to answer their query, but instead cut to the very quick of the matter, (our spiritual well-being) so, -and this is just my opinion of course- I think I'd perhaps take that as a warning to maybe also be careful about where and how we do our digging, when we, 'dig deeper'. :-) 2 Tim 2:15 John |
