Bible Note: Dear Edwin, So, if I understand you correctly, you are asserting -- based on Philippians 2:5-9 -- that Christ graduated to His exalted position at a particular point in time, prior to which He was not thusly entitled? Do I understand you correctly? If so, let us create a new thread specifically under Philippians 2:9 to discuss that point. This thread has rambled (meandered, wandered, stumbled?) far and wide! :-) In Him, Doc PS Truth is, indeed, insensitive. That is, it does not derive its veracity from, nor is it effected by, emotional sensibilities. It is simply true. It is not, however, inherently insulting. Assuredly, offense arises because of the truth. But that shouldn't be a surprise to us, given how the prophets, Christ, and the apostles were treated for their message! Logic never varies based on how people feel. Logic is simply logic. Note that both of these words -- insensitive and insulting -- are self focused and self centered. They do not help us in our efforts. We derive the truth from the Word of God -- this is a Study Bible Forum -- and then apply that truth to our minds, our hearts, our actions, and our words. In the process, the self dies, and the truth of God is exalted. |
