Bible Note: Dear Doc, I will ask you to try to see that Gideon had no need to ask for a confirmation of something he shoud have just taken on faith... There was no need to ask for a confirmation of what he knew he heard was there? Here do you like this language better; Gideon asked for a confirmation of what he already was clearly told and should have known God would do, and that constitutes some lack on his part of a complete trust that God would deliver receiving a sign of confirmation. If that is still out of order please Doc take the time and :))))))) patience to teach my why it is out of order, or wrong thinking verbiage, verbiage, verbiage... I am trying to get at the reason why Gideon seemed to be needing confirmation - God is a solid promiser what is not clear about being told once? Gideon had that once being shown by fleece was not enough, and asked that God's anger not burn against him for asking twice - he was aware that there might be a problem between God that he was asking... We can say for sure that he had doubt about what God promised or he would not have asked for a sign of confirmation would he? That is where I started out from... God Bless, Tam |
