[QUOTE="Assyrian, post: 60988604, member: 144555"] Read the passage. It doesn't say he is testing us to show we die like animals but to show that we [I]are [/I]animals. Testing in the bible usually refer to subjecting people to trials to refine and purify them. In the context the trials are probably being subject to death and decay, but the purpose it to teach us the truth about our nature, that we are in ourselves just animals. [SIZE=2] Again he isn't say we are like an animals because we die etc., he says we are animals. [/SIZE] You mean some less literal translations try to avoid the meaning of the text? Doesn't 'For' usually give us reasons for something? THe writer is show us the reason he said we are beasts. No, [SIZE=2][COLOR=navy]God is testing them that they may see that they themselves [COLOR=Blue][B]are [/B][/COLOR]but beasts.[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] [/SIZE] Certainly the writer is telling us to fear God, and show us we are in ourselves animals, animals in whose hearts God has written eternity. We have this longing written in our hearts and are lost without God. [/QUOTE]
