Subject: so spiritually minded no earthly good? |
Bible Note: HI STEVE: Yes there were some assumptions made, the way the question was asked, it was a light hearted answer, to a light hearted question, no harm, no foul. The answer was written in such a way, as to give some information, and possibly make it a little more enjoyable in trying to understand why the Priest, and the Levite didnt help in the first place. I dont believe I have contradicted myself in any way. If you cant see how they were so spiritually minded, then think about this for a moment, they were, a Priest, and a Levite. Teachers of the Law, studying all the time to find themselvs worthy. Making sure every Jot, every Tittle was in place. But they were not awair of the Love, Compassion,Charity,of God in his Law. They were only awair of the LETTER of the Law. Thats the point I made! I can take from the assumption you made, that you couldn't give any reasion why they didnt't help, you only gave a resounding NO. In your mind they weren't spiritually minded at all. They were a Priest, and a Levite, they sure should be spiritually minded, they were the ones that the people looked to for guidence. The quote that was used for the question, "They were so spiritually minded they were no earthly good " is what is called a back handed compliment. The quote itself, conceeds the spirituality of the Priest, and the Levite. |
