George said ~ Jude you sure know how to take Scripture out of context and twist it into a pretzel.
*** Mat 3: 5 - 6 -7 (IS) in order...
George said ~ You have violated the first rule of exegesis of Scripture Context first..
*** Mat 3: 5 �6 �7 (IS) in Context and the Exegesis which is ~ a [ critical explanation ] or [ interpretation ] of a text, especially a religious text. Traditionally the term was used primarily for exegesis of the Bible; however, in contemporary usage it has broadened [ to mean a �critical explanation� of any text, ] and the term "Biblical exegesis" is used for greater specificity. The goal of Biblical exegesis is to explore the meaning of the text which then leads to discovering its significance or relevance.
*** The �exegesis is Correct as I have given the meanings of the �word��Just NOT ( criticaly )�No need to be ( Critical )�the �Word� speaks quite well�
George said ~ Of course you and the other health and wealthers are not able to accept the correct understanding and interpretation of the Word of GOD,
*** Calling me a �health and wealther� is your Personal Opinion of me and it (IS) Incorrect�I Always Accept the Correct Understanding of the Word (Jesus) of GOD�I Always Don�t Accept the Interpretation of a man�In order to Understand an Interpretation of Scripture the Holy Spirit must be present�So�MY personal Opinion must be inline with Scripture�the Word (Jesus) of GOD�and what do I base my Opinion on you ask ???
*** The Symbolic meaning of �Water� PJ is asking about is based in these Scriptures�
John 4:10 ~ �Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee [ �living water.�]
John 4:11 ~ �The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that [ �living water?�]
John 7:38 ~ [[[ � He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of � living water.� ]]]
*** And the exegesis ~ without being "critical"...
Living ~ G2198 ~ zoa ~ to live, breathe, be among the living (not lifeless, not dead) to enjoy real life to have true life and worthy of the name, active, blessed, endless in the kingdom of God.
Water ~ G5204 ~ hydor ~ water, of water in rivers, in fountains, in pools, of the water of the deluge, of water in any of the earth's repositories, of water as the primary element, out of and through which the world that was before the deluge, arose and was compacted, of the waves of the sea, fig. used of many peoples.
George said ~ Because you cannot force health and wealth out of the posted Scripture, so you have to MAKE SOMETHING UP...
*** No Comment�.other than �See� above�the �Word� of GOD�
Prov 18:4 ~ "The words of a man's mouth [are as] deep waters, [and] the wellspring of wisdom [as] a flowing brook."...xo
