Bible Answer: "Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph–at least" ladyz222: [The following quote is not intended as a rebuke, but as a good tip, a good guide, that you can use when trying to understand a verse of Scripture. --kalos] 'If there was one bit of wisdom, one rule of thumb, one single skill I could impart, one useful tip I could leave that would serve you well the rest of your life, what would it be? What is the single most important practical skill I've ever learned as a Christian? 'Here it is: Never read a Bible verse. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph–at least. 'When I'm on the radio, I use this simple rule to help me answer the majority of Bible questions I'm asked, even when I'm totally unfamiliar with the verse. It's an amazingly effective technique you can use, too. 'I read the paragraph, not just the verse. I take stock of the relevant material above and below. Since the context frames the verse and gives it specific meaning, I let it tell me what's going on. 'This works because of a basic rule of all communication: Meaning always flows from the top down, from the larger units to the smaller units, not the other way around. The key to the meaning of any verse comes from the paragraph, not just from the individual words' (www.str.org/free/studies/neverrea.htm). ************* [ladyz222: Here is a Note I had posted earlier. I hope this will shed some light on your question. If, after reading this, you still have questions, please ask. I would be glad to be of further assistance.] WHERE are they taken? (Question re-worded) Question (full): NASB Luke 17:34 "I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left." "One will be taken" implies that one will be taken someWHERE. So the question "WHERE are they taken?" is a reasonable one. In the PLAIN TEXT and in the immediate context (Luke 17:26-37), WHERE are they taken? Note: Luke 17:[36] [37] (ESV) And they said to him, "WHERE, Lord?" He said to them, "WHERE the corpse is, there the vultures will gather" (emphasis added). In the text the question is, "WHERE, Lord?" In the text the answer to the question is, "WHERE the corpse is, there the vultures will gather." I ask: "WHERE the corpse is" -- does this sound like heaven and rewards? Or does it sound like hell and judgment? I ask: WHERE the vultures will gather -- does this sound like heaven and rewards? Or does it sound like hell and judgment? ************* Luke 17:26-37 (ESV) [26] Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. [27] They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. [28] Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, [29] but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— [30] so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. [31] On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. [32] Remember Lot's wife. [33] Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. [34] I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. [35] There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left." [36] [37] And they said to him, "Where, Lord?" He said to them, "Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather." ------------- Grace to you, kalos |
