    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    Being the inspired (to some) word of God, might change that perspective. So you'd see these accounts as allegory, or literary license?

    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    I'd agree. Much the same with Balaam's donkey questioning why it's receiving a beating and petitioning that it's faithfully served Balaam for many years. Yet the text attests that "...the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey..."

    You made your bed now you must lie in it.

    If we "don't need to worry", then we've made Paul a liar when he says that "they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" in regards to the works of the flesh. Or is there some separate meaning we're supposed to take away from that? Remember, he was writing to Christians, not...

    You made your bed now you must lie in it.

    Like I said. Easy. Why worry.

    You made your bed now you must lie in it.

    It's a common defense I hear of the passage of why it doesn't necessarily apply to the Christian today - and certainly not to the Gentile who was never under the law in the first place. It's a convenient way to dodge the issue that the passage does, in fact, apply to us and our lives, and does...

    You made your bed now you must lie in it.

    Well, clearly that was a warning for Hebrew Christians not to go back to the works of the Moasic law and has no application to us today. See how easy that was? And, wow, those churches in Revelation - sure am glad I wasn't part of all that. God sure was a little ticked off with them. But it's...

    FAITH MAKES YOU ELIGIBLE

    That's quite the hatchet job of that verse. How did you come to that understanding of it?

    What happens to your body when...

    Heart disease and diabetes risk appears to go up for one. brain fog and depression are also symptoms. I've been finding this out about brain fog for sure in my new position at work. Much of it has been pretty sedentary so far (sort of the summer slow time) so I've been trying to stay aware if...

    Horizontal or vertical staples? You do know it's horizontal, left-hand side, correct? :nono: But I suppose in the "Josiah World Order" it doesn't matter, does it? COEXIST!

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 6

    Listening to Tigers baseball. I treated myself to Sirius/XM radio for my birthday, so it's neat that I get to listen to the games again. I'm not a Seattle or Toronto fan, so it's good to have what I want. 2-0 Tigers. Let's see if they keep it up.

    "Reclaimed and recycled" or "new creatures"?

    I'm sure that was the spirit behind the analogies. There are just times when I read the meditations when something is said that either seems 'off' or challenging - where I wonder if it's accurate or could have been said a better way. I think it's just how I am that I question a lot. That may not...

    "Reclaimed and recycled" or "new creatures"?

    I receive daily meditations from Lutheran Hour Ministries in my email. Most of the time they're quite beneficial, but every once in a while there's a statement or an idea that just seems "off". The meditation today contained this statement: As Christians, are we merely "reclaimed and...

    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    Given these statements, what would you (Pedrito) make of the letters to the seven Churches that open the book of Revelation? Although there is some allegory contained there (e.g. "... or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place..." doesn't refer to a...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 6

    At Starbucks to catch up on some HR paperwork for my job that was dated July 16th and they didn't mail out until the 30th. These guys are slow as slugs. But it's for my taxes and Blue Cross. I need the insurance for sure, so I'd better get this done. Modern health authority, ancient processes.
