Subject: How do I make sense of the context? |
Bible Note: Joe Touche, I will be more careful how I phrase my objections. I really never meant them as insults but rather conclusions I reached from position that were offered. Sorry :-) You and the forum have ran up and down this street so many times I know every bump by name. Joe the proof text you offer don't say, to me and many others, what you claim they say. Moreover your proof texts, to me and many others, do not agree with what is taught in the rest of the Bible. I read the same scripture you do and walk away with a completely different opinion. Tim dissects the scripture for you showing how grammatically the verse is not saying what you claim. Rather than agreeing or presenting a rebuttal you venture to another field and plow there. On and on it goes until we get back to the field we started in. The field is plowed the soil is rich let’s plant some seed and pray the Lord of Harvest will allow us an abundant crop. If you don’t think that is a good idea then how about, you and Tim take one passage Hebrews 28:26-31 and either agree it reads as Tim has shown it to read in the Greek, or show why Tim is wrong. Then you and Tim can go to the next verse and see what it says. Either way I'm out of it. I'll just make snide remarks from time to time :-) Just kidding I'll be careful when I simply state the conclusion your arguments leads me to. EdB |
