The parable is about changing from the rags into the wedding garments. Not wearing the wedding garments over the rags.
That greek used for "clothed" is interesting as it can also imply "in-slipped". Notice the word used in 2 Timo 3My understanding is that it was a Jewish custom to have a special 'garment' for the wedding, and that it was given to the guests as they arrived--particularly since a pretty general invitation went out in this case. I had understood they put it on over their regular clothes (though I'm sure not over their outer 'cloak'.) But whether or not they put it over, or changed into it, it was not a garment of their making, their effort or their devising. It was given to them.

That greek word for "abyss" is also interesting. The only difference in that greek word used for the "rich-man" in Luke 16:19 is there is no letter "a" before it. That is why I like looking at the Greek so much so to better harmonize the Bible.Excellent word study, LLoJ. Thanks for sharing that!

Darn your funny.
Salvation means perfect judgement(sp?)
Does any on earth other then God poses perfect judgement?
I would like to know?
The Church prays for ALLl souls in purgatory 24/7/365
By the Mass and also through the Lecto Divina and through individual members that do it out of part of some personal devotion or other.

So what happened to Peter on this thread![]()
Oh. That makes sense then.Peter who? I think he died some time ago.
Ok I got one for ya. Why does Luke and Hosea say "mountains and hills" while Reve 6:16 says "mountains and rocks"More importantly where did the talk of rocks go? As a fan of geology I must protest this.
Ok I got one for ya. Why does Luke and Hosea say "mountains and hills" while Reve 6:16 says "mountains and rocks"
Luke 23:30 "Then they shall be beginning to be saying to the Mountains 'be falling upon us' and to the Hills 'cover us'". [Hosea 10:8/Reve 6:16]
Reve 6:16 And they are saying to the Mountains and to the Rocks/petraiV <4073>: 'Be falling on us! and hide us! from Face of the One sitting upon the Throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb-kin" [Hosea 10:8/Luke 23:30]
Yeah. It doesn't help much that "hills" are only used 2 times in the NT. Both in Luke. Pretty odd greek word used for them also and I hope to maybe see if there is some kind of symbolism in it.Doesn't have to be geological in meaning but maybe if it was the authors just assumed that hills were made of rocks? I wouldn't doubt that considering the logic of the time: 'well mountains are big and rocky and have stuff growing on them so hills must be the same!'
Or maybe they just used different words, the Bible may be divinely inspired but it was penned by humans.
So is Peter the rock Jesus referred to or not?
So the church is built on a dead man?
Greetings. Do ya think him and the other Apostles [excpet "judas" I would think] are still on thrones judging the Jews?His body is dead but he is alive in Heaven.
