Since Paul continued to write scripture it is quite obvious that he did not literally die each day, therefore he must have been speaking figuratively.
When read in context it does address UR. Earlier in this thread a UR-ite used a verse "love your enemies." Then asked "What does God do to His enemies?" Implying that God loves them and does not destroy them. The 7 vss. I quoted show what God does to His enemies. They don't jump up and instantly love God.
You evidently did not read it thoroughly. If a movie reviewer says,"The best movie I have seen this year." "But I have only seen one."
The average person would assume 'Best of many" If the second clause is omitted. Not the best of only one.
Yes it is an opinion on plot and character development. That was the point.. The average person reading a movie review will tend to rely on the opinion of a reviewer. Reading only "Fantastic movie" is a far cry from "Fantastic movie if you are not looking for plot or character development." Implying the movie did not have a good plot or character development.
I gave examples of out-of-context quotes showing St. S how such quotes give a false view of what is actually printed/said and is not restricted to doctrinal bias as he claimed. It exists in virtually every area of writing.
I was not specifically addressing UR. I was informing someone who said "out-of-context" was "doctrinal bias" that he did not know what he is talking about.
I was not specifically addressing UR. I was not trying to prove UR.
der alte,
1. I was asking if you knew what he meant specifically concerning correct context. This concerns with rightly dividing the word.
Can you tell me?
2. These Jews were Old Testament because they were before the cross. They were to be light of the world and salt of the earth Matthews 5:13-16. The Jews were to be respectful to the stranger at the gate.
Loving your enemies in that context is so that the Jews would be like the Father in Heaven Matthew 5:45.
This is to show agape love 1 Corinthians 13 to be a witness to the world.
Vs 45 also says he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sense the rain on the just and unjust.
It’s easy to love someone that loves you but another thing to love one that doesn’t love you. Even the Old Testament Jews had to treat others with respect to the stranger at the gate.
God loves all his creation but that doesn’t mean he overlooked their sin. Remember he brought a flood to kill all the antediluvian sinners.
It is no different after the cross.
We are to hate sin and call it out but we are also to love in order to be a witness to the world with the gospel.
There’s nothing about UR to this passage as some think.
3. One’s opinion on a movie review is just what he believes because he hasn’t seen anything else is not doctrinal bias for taking anything out of context.
Now you can parallel it with doctrinal bias because you are looking through your own lenses.
The difference is that one’s opinion of scripture may not line up with biblical hermeneutics. You could have an opinion after reading the scripture when you really don’t know at first but you’re opinion guessing could turn out right.
The movie reviewer could change his opinion after watching more movies. That doesn’t mean he took anything out of context at first.
Relying on the movie reviewer about what the movie is about can be paralleled with those who believe one’s opinion about scripture. We are to be like the Bereans to see what they say is true and Paul said to study to show yourself approved.
In one post it seems you said you didn’t believe scripturally that you didn’t believe in UR.
The loving your enemies passage you agreed in context it did prove UR.
If that is true then you are not following context in that passage.
Then you said you were trying to explain out of context. I may need some clarification. Thanks. Jerry Kelso
