I thank you for the way You broke down these two verses about the Love of God. Your explanation brought clarity for me on how I can imitate God. You give simple clarification that is profound and very meaningful. I thank God for the inspiration you were given to share. Have a blessed night.

There is a time when you can not walk together. I was confirm in the ELCA church I remember this. History method is not good, they really screw up church and that was there goal. You have my permission to use this in your class, and you say it was from me. I would like to be able to tell your class my perpective of this as a 13 year old at the time.

Very true. I think I was able to correct myself during that class session that I wasn't trying to suggest that we could have continued to walk together in that controversy - but that I was trying to emphasize that even still, things might have been handled better 🙂 So much hurt came from that - I mean, there would have been hurt regardless, but I think in some ways we made it worse than it should have been. Would love to hear you story sometime!

There is a great book written after the civil war call "Christ in the Camp" by J. William Jones. It descripes how all churchs help each other to save men souls before they die in battle. The church work together to get it done. The book was written with a southern perpective, but I"m sure the same was happening in the north. I'm about 2/3 way through the book.

Brother, you lost me when you assumed The KJV Holy Bible may be incorrect with its translation. The KJV Holy Bible reads little children by the way, and it was little children.
@AscensionEastLansing
@AscensionEastLansing 7 ай бұрын
The words translated as "small children" in Hebrew are the plural form of "na'ar qatan." Na'ar is used for Moses as a baby in Exodus 2:6 - and it is used for Absalom in 2 Samuel 14:21 - where the KJV even renders that as "young man." There are quite a lot of places throughout the Old Testament where "na'ar" refers to young men - and usually in conjunction with their roles as servants. The other word "qatan" can mean small or little or young or even lesser or unimportant. I'm not suggesting that the KJV maliciously completely mistranslated that text into something different (as if the Hebrew said "old men" and the KJV rendered it "young children") - but I do think that the KJV took two words that could have a variety of different meanings and went with a weaker (and in my opinion) incorrect option. No translation is perfect. I have problems with the way the ESV (which we use) translates some things. Translators are humans - and they make errors - they have biases that will lead them to take certain things in certain ways. The KJV is no exception. For reference, this is the word we're dealing with: biblehub.com/hebrew/5288.htm

An excellent question was raised regarding this commandment: what if you find out that somebody is abusing a child? Are you to not say anything to anybody? In this scenario - I would say that going to the authorities to protect the child would not necessarily be a breaking of the 8th commandment. To break it would be to start spreading the information to your neighbor. Your first priority is the safety and well being of the child. And even if we regarded ANY telling of the sin as a breaking of the 8th commandment - I would say that we would have the higher priority to keep the 5th and 6th commandments (protecting the child from physical/sexual harm) which could cause us to break the 8th. A similar hypothetical is if you want to go to church and your parent forbids you from going. If you go, you break the 4th - if you don't, you break the 1st and 3rd. Unfortunately, according to our sinful condition, there will be times when there is no "perfect" solution - we may have to break one commandment to uphold another in order to prevent the greater harm. If the situation was an adult who was being abused by their spouse or their family - we would want to encourage that person to seek help immediately - to assist them in any way we could to get them help. If we simply took that information and started telling everybody else about it, we would definitely be breaking the 8th commandment. If we took that information and did NOTHING with it, we would be breaking the 5th/6th. This is a good example of where we have a more "academic" discussion of what the commandment means - but the application gets messy. In these scenarios what I want people focused on is: "how can I protect/love/defend this person" rather than "how do I keep the commandment in this situation?" Notice the emphasis: "how do I protect/love/defend" is focused on the neighbor - "how do I keep the commandment" is focused on me. I would say the more God-pleasing option is the path that focuses on the neighbor. Ultimately when it comes down to it, our behavior should be guided by the goal of "love thy neighbor."
