All knowledge here isformed from that death and will pass away as evident1 Cor 8:1-38 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we allhave knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 Andif any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yetas he ought to know.3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.KJV there is no shame in being small... in fact it is the cleanest place Iknow of here!

Love, Steven Agree 10000% And when I was reading your comment concerning your young boys, this kept popping in my head....... (Luke 10:21) "In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight."

It's a trump card and not a good one. It's not a trump card. It's just a fact. Sloppy exegesis?? I haven't seen anything from you that amounts to any exegesis, sloppy or not; just a bunch of scientific quotes and a few dictionary definitions of "day". That is not exegesis. Anybody with google could come up with that. Show me some real work. I've posted a lot more than that. I haven't offered any dictionary terms of "day," so you really haven't been paying attention to my posts, so stop pretending that you have actually read much of anything I have said. Finally, my guess (and I admit it is a guess) is you haven't seen the parallels before. Yeah, I have heard about all of that. And on one level I have no real problem with them. The problem I am seeing here, is that you use the parallels as an alternative to the actual, literal understanding of the text. I don't buy into that type of approach to the Scripture. You assigning purposes to the text that are simply not there. But these, they are completely new to you. And you don't like that: either because you don't know what to do with them, or because you don't like that there remain things for you to learn.... Oh please... This is nothing new. I forgotten more about this stuff than you know. You needn't feel you have some grand knowledge. Frankly, I have heard it all before. " I forgotten more about this stuff than you know." We are agreed on this. clb P.S. This..... "Oh please... This is nothing new. I forgotten more about this stuff than you know. You needn't feel you have some grand knowledge. Frankly, I have heard it all before." only confirms my point. No, it doesn't confirm your point. The stuff you are proposing has been proposed by liberal scholarship going back generations. It wasn't true then and it isn't true now. It is rooted in unbelief, quite honestly and it is a dishonest approach to the text of Scripture. The book of Genesis is not a liturgy or anything else you are trying to assign to it. From the standpoint of literary genre it is a historical narrative, none of the liberal, bargain basement musings about parallels and liturgy and anything else that anyone can conjure up to avoid facing the text honestly for what it really is, is going to hold any water. Your approach to the parallels is a hermeneutical trainwreck. By unbelief you mean unbelief in God? But I believe in God. Unbelief in Scripture's authority--but I believe in that. In Jesus? But I believe in Him. Also, you're falling back on your dogmatic denials which would get you a failing grade in any graduate school. If someone claimed a number of parallels, I would have to demonstrate why they are in fact falsely drawn. To call it a hermeneutical train wreck will no doubt get you an applause from your fellow YECs, but it only looks like desperation from the other point. Just curious, what do you think of Gleason Archer as an Hebraist? clb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul's theology was not that of a child but of a deep, mature understanding I don't think their going to get it! The Bible speaks for itself it is what it is and that is the simple hermeneutic of it... My 8 to 12 year old boys see it Love, Steven All respect to your boys, but that isn't really helping much. They're 8 and 12. Would you have them teach an adult Sunday School class? Or give a lecture at Yale on Hebrew? clb Now don't go getting all 'he referring to me' as I am speaking to the text and reasoning to that-so that we may reason together in this and possibly become like minded in the Word of God! Because the last thing in The Reasoning of God 'IS' He's right and all else opposed is wrong BUT God has instructed and if we have understood then we are made able to obey and bring to Him The Glory that is in such results!This is going to be difficult to get across as it is not in the commentaries, or the hearts ofthe children but 'IS' and it is a must for us to put together in the understanding of these last of days! So here goes: This is the place we begin at to readjust our reason and understanding in God's Word I notice both of your replies are of the same spirit so I will address them together as one thought! The indoctrination of the world's system is constant and we become exhausted in the effort of making it non-effect upon us and yet in that exhaustion we redefine terms so as not to appear giving in to it -but- that is simply self deception and the easier way is always one of compromise and the hypocrisy of religion! 2 Tim 2:19-21 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. KJV The natural mind will gravitate to gold and silver as the honorable vessels and the wood and clay common or dishonorable vessels... however God does not teach us that but is born out of this world and it's influence! As the greatest material ever honored by God was The wooden cross upon which He hung yet now rotten and gone! So it was not the wood but The God Who was willing to allow all that He had made to be used as such to redeem us from idols of the elevated things of our first begin... As God teaches us that which He keeps is honored and that which passes away is without honor! Therefore adjust yourselves to the keeping of God in the things he keeps... Luke 21:33-36 33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. 2 Peter 3:9-11 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, KJV Also He taught this of the temple Matt 23:16-22 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. KJV As everyone can clearly see the things of honor are not the systems influence that is before us but God Who releases us from this bondage of measure and values based upon Babylon of this world... Hence now we can understand 2 Tim 2:19-21 19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. KJV if a man purge himself of these things (the value system of this world placed upon these things) and live in the light of equality of that which passes away we can begin in the reasoning of righteousness to see that any in the use toward obedience and God's Glory will be vessels of honor and any for anything else dishonor no matter the material they are made of! As this process of renewing of the mind is necessary in all areas so also what we elevate in knowledge as to worth will only be that formed from His Word and not that formed from other! Love, Steven 1 Cor 2:14 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Guest Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 ....Also, you're falling back on your dogmatic denials which would get you a failing grade in any graduate school.... The Dogma Of All Bible Believers Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Psalms 119:160 Will Stand The Test Of Time Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matthew 24:35 But Many Doctors But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Jeremiah 7:23-24 Of Philosophy Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Colossians 2:8 Will Not A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Matthew 12:35-37 So Where Can Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Psalms 119:142 A Hungry Fellow Turn And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. Luke 4:4 For A God Cooked Square Meal All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV) ~ Believe He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— John 1:10-12 (NIV) And Be Blessed Beloved The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them. Numbers 6:24-27 Love, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
