Subject: Forbidden fruit in Egypt? |
Bible Note: Oh, I do tend to confuse. A product of dyslexia and ADHD, but healing abounds, does it not? Yes, you have answered in a interesting and consequential way. I believe as well, there is no need for the tree as such to not be in the garden (or paradise) now, as we speak. We enter by the blood, and live by the new life, which is dead to sin. The tree itself is of no consequence, yet does represent some principal. That fundamental principal cropping up in the scriptures in many ways. But I find it interesting that there is no other 'simple' reference. Now, as to those who left Egypt. I did not pull the verse out of a hat, simply because the Hebrew is the same, and is the only other place where that combination occurs. That would be speculation, and lead to mysticism (I jest). However, Egypt is cursed by God, represents the cursed world, yes? And the promised land, ah, a veritable paradise... Once you have eaten the fruit, the result is death. Yet only one can lead into the promise who experienced the life in cursed Egypt. The others who enter were but children in Egypt, or born in the new free life while wandering the wilderness, and Caleb of course, but that is another picture. Oh dear, pictures, pictures, forgive me my friend. Yes, simplicity and sense, balm of peace. I seek no deeper meaning than the simple framework revealed by the Spirit. However, in interpretation, the simple explanation may not be the life giving word. Conversely, that does not make the spiritual revelation complicated. By solid logic, your quoted rule, 'when the plain sense makes good sense seek no other sense', can just as easily be that which closes your eyes to the light, and covers your ears to the living word. You have decided in that, or others, what is good sense. And then decided, "to seek no other sense." A path of orders and structures, but does it lead to life always? Please, in no way think I question the Spirit's prompting within you in such postulation. My regard has deepened, and know that God has used you as a goad for me already, my appreciation be made known. So, tell me, with a heart of complete dedication, that Joshua is no picture of the Messiah. It is a challenge as we only have Stephans discourse, yet that is of His will in Christ if the eyes of the heart be open. Bless you my brother, may your heart be strengthened, I value your replies. May your measure of eternal life be poured out upon the saints you meet with, to His Glory. |
