Saith the commentary worshiper?
For the umpteenth time - the ACTUAL assertion is NOT that you read and or rely on commentaries - RATHER, that you and yours OVER RELY ON commentaries.
YOU are one proof of that - just about your every posts is quotes from one book "about" or another.
Proving each time through that, that yours is merely "commentaries" based "intellect."
Proving each time - by just about your every post - that you learned what to think "about" one thing or another in Scripture, not how to think "on" it through the Scripture itself.
Case in point, your mis-fire has you ever asserting the following was declaring that what it was referring to was fulfilled...
Luke 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 1:68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 1:71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 1:73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
It was not.
Things went from the arrival of that hope's promise's potential (which is what the Spirit was asserting through John the Baptist's father: Zacharias) - things went from that hope's potential - this here...
Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
They went from that, to this here...
Matthew 11:2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 11:7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11:11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 11:16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 11:17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
The end result of all that?
Israel's promised deliverance...delayed...once more...
Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
YOUR problem is your OVER RELIANCE on your obviously ENDLESS books "about" and THEIR notions "about" one thing or another in Scripture.
Yours is obviously a mis-fire you can realign IF you so choose.
As when a missile's built-in guidance system causes it to adjust to incoming information that it is off target; uses that incoming info, not as a sign of "a failure" but as feedback it then adjusts it's course in accordance with, towards getting back on target.
See, there is no "dialectic" conspiracy in this post. Such a conspiracy is just one more of your mis-fires in reason.
There is no "dialectic" conspiracy in this post. There is only feedback one can only hope you objectively consider the actual merit of one day.
Or as the writer of Hebrews put it as to what is to be the Believer's built-in guidance system as a source as to the difference between the deeming of any "good" as a "good" and therefore acceptable, and the deeming of any "evil..." as an "evil" And therefore unacceptable...
Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Rom. 5:8
Acts 17:11,12
