Subject: dead bury the dead? |
Bible Note: Shalom I have to disagree. You will never convince me God in all His infinite knowledge would write a guide book of Life to His children that would require outside understanding to comprehend what He meant. The Bible was written to all. That means all ages, all cultures, all ethic groups, ALL. I know many times the Bible is explained away by, “oh this was a custom of the time and we can ignore that.” However I have found in most cases the answer offered by man as being a cultural custom really down plays the true meaning of the scripture. Now please don’t misunderstand me I’m not saying your down playing scripture or any thing of the sort. What I’m saying is the meaning of this passage is clearly not dealing with a dead man but rather a feeble excuse. One offered by many that are called today. “I can’t go now how about later”. Jesus was clearly stating if your spiritually attune to me get a move on time is short. If not then go bury your dead for you are also dead. EdB |
