Bible Note: Amen Doc! Much of the first part of Matt 7 is a clear call for very careful discernment in judging others; but in v 6 our Lord is also, clearly, instructing us not to have anything to do with dogs and pigs, and, certainly he is not speaking about literal dogs, or pigs, He is speaking about people. This poses a very important question; how are we to know the difference? Verse 7-8 have been misinterpreted, for a "grab bag" for all kinds of wonderful gifts and blessings, but here I believe our Lord, is telling us to study the Word, and mostly pray for discernment, so that we can make that judgment. Would our Father give us a snake? Just my 2 pennies worth. God bless John |
