Bible Question (short): More thoughts and questions on the boy |
Question (full): Thanks for your reply. That is very helpful. I agree. My thought was that I have always heard from the pulpit that it was his lunch and, as you say, the scripture does not say that it was his lunch. I agree, we need to be careful not to build a whole moral code or business practice around this one segment of scripture. However, what would have happened if the boy had held tight to his goods? I think that Jesus would have found another way and the boy would have missed the chance to be part of the miracle. I’m also not clear on whether the boy was paid for his goods or if he gave them without pay. Not sure that it matters, just interesting to think aobut. |
