Subject: dead bury the dead? |
Bible Note: Hank Old friend I sure stirred the pot with that comment. Hank as I explained to nearly everyone else I made too GENERAL of a statement and I have learned to regret doing so. However I still believe God's truths, commandments, precepts, principals, statues, laws and ways stand on their own. We do not need to understand social customs, old traditions, or know the names of obscure objects to understand what God is saying. God’s truths jump out and pierce the soul as a two edged sword. Today it has become fashionable for men to take a truth clearly stated by God and convolute it by saying, “oh this pertains to thus and such and holds little or no meaning for us today.” That my friend is a lie! I’m not accusing anyone on the forum of doing this most certainly not Simchat, however the explanation he supplied in my opinion effected the truth Jesus was trying to convey. While his explanation was plausible and certainly interesting I find it wanting in my understanding of what is clearly written in the scriptures. Your right without outside information things can get lost and confused. And to that I say, we and future generations will forever be indebted to these men and women that so carefully search out these tidbits of information that many times enlighten and certainly always educate us. Forgive me for making such a general statement, I forgot how easy it is to raise a debate when all you were trying to say is whoa lets not put words in God’s mouth. EdB |
