Bible Note: Dear Doc, I think what I mean is that the Side of Comfort was emptied out as Jesus "took captivity captive", following His resurrection. And yes, I agree with you that my comparison of the resurrection and this story is perhaps using both the Twin Towers and a garden shed in the same way. But what I was thinking, if I can perhaps be more succinct, is that I think some people tend to reject some aspects of the supernatural, and such clear and "natural" seeming descriptions of supernatural realities. But perhaps your answer covers a lot of people, that they simply define a parable differently. I like you list, by the way. And thank you! and God bless you! Love in Christ, Mark |
