Subject: Death God's friend or enemy? |
Bible Note: Hi, bowler... An idiomatic phrase doesn't necessarily denote our view of reality. Hence, when we speak of something being scarce as hen's teeth, it doesn't mean that we think chickens actually have teeth. How about reading between the lines; dead as a door nail; by the skin of your teeth; from the horse's mouth; giving someone a piece of your mind; made of money; believe in your heart; etc. etc. Hebrews 4:12 is speaking of the Word of God, using idiomatic imagery. What its talking about isn't swords, bones, or human nature. It is speaking of the nature of the Word. The Word can resolve the indistinguishable and indivisible. We do not draw conclusions about swords and bones. That only get's us way off base. What we are uncovering what the Scripture has to say about the nature of human ontology, we look to passages that address that topic directly. For example, Jeremiah 17 is a lousy place to draw conclusions about Jewish botany. However, it is a good place to find out about the human heart.
