In my humble opinion, what this verse is dealing with is being dishonest.
MHC:
The various arts of deceiving that men have, all which evils the love of money is the root of. In paying and receiving money, which was then commonly done by the scale, they had divers weights, an under-weight for what they paid and an over-weight for what they received; in delivering out and taking in goods they had divers measures, a scanty measure to sell by and a large measure to buy by. This was done wrong with plot and contrivance, and under colour of doing right. Under these is included all manner of fraud and deceit in commerce and trade. 2. The displeasure of God against them. Whether they be about the money or the goods, in the buyer or in the seller, they are all alike an abomination to the Lord. He will not prosper the trade that is thus driven, nor bless what is thus got. He hates those that thus break the common faith by which justice is maintained, and will be the avenger of all such.
The question is are you being dishonest with your customer? I know business will give some customers 'breaks' due to the volume of their business. I don't see that as trying to stealing.
Just my two cents.

Fun?
Humm…
However unintentional it might be, we should be desperate to point our brothers and sisters to Christ and do all we can to protect them by pointing them to the truth found in God’s word! I will tell you why it concerns me and why if I am found in error I have no problem with someone correcting me. That is, the enemy is sneaky and very subtle (Genesis 3:1, Matthew 16:21-23)! We should be desperate to edify our brothers and sisters in Christ with God’s truth so we all are equipped and not left vulnerable to the enemy. Consider what is said in 1 Peter 5:8.
Steve
PS. I think Matthew 16:21-23 is a great example of how easily we are fooled by the enemy. But knowing and understanding God’s word greatly enables us to discern the error and recognize the subtle attacks of the enemy!

WHile I see the sparkles in their eyes I also see the pains of life:death, divorce, drugs, and daily hiding because some are here from other countries. I leave that to the authorites.
In the meantime, the mission field has been brought to me. Their soul was worth Christ's own blood just as my own.
There is more that we can do for children and discipleship (and discipline) than ever before and yet no one has time nor energy to get 'er done. With Paul, I'd like to say,"Kids, young people,parents, follow me as I follow Christ."
I trust someone does the same in your fellowship as well. They need a firm foundation before they face a crazy world. Angela |

If you caught the drift of the entire context of the conversation, you found that I was searching at first for the Kings of Israel and Judah, and then the relationship that Amon had with his son, Josiah. Spurring first graders on to good works and OBEDIENCE to God regardless proves difficult at times. At 8, Josiah, followed after King David's heart, who had a whole heart for God which meant he had to break the generational curse that he had been dealt by his forefathers,esp. Amon.
Telling young children that they too can obey God and He will bless them regardless of how mean their parents are or how they may curse God. I prayed with them that they will follow after God in obedience so that God will do all they ask according to His will. Of course, in terms they could undertand.
One of those children could not be there b/c church is a form of punishment for him for his parent is a drug dealer and very mean. My job is to tell them of God's love and protection for them, and to tell them of his promises to bless their obedience. As adults, we learn often the hard way that blessing and confirmation come only after the obedience. Thanks for your comment. |

Dear vdanna,
This verse has been dealt with in past posts (post number 102255 and the relevant thread). You may also check on the below link for helpful commentary. http://eword.gospelcom.net/comments/
However, I would also like to add my 2 cents to try a different approach to deal with the scripture. Each author of the Gospel Books has their own writing style and focus though most of their records are identical. For Matthew, one of the characteristics is his emphasis on the witness of 2 or more:
1/ calling of his disciples described in pairs of two (4:18-21, 10:1-4)
2/ parables employing the number of 2 (7:13-29
3/ the healing of 2 blind men (20:29-34), whereas Luke 18:35 and Mark 10:46-52 only mentioned one.
4/ witness of 2 or 3 (18:16-20)
Now when we compare the passage recorded in the 3 books, I believe Matthew was trying to emphasize the witnessing of Christ being the Son of God.
mat 27:51-54
And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many. NOW HE CENTURION, AND THOSE WHO WERE WITH HIM keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the THINGS that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!”
mark 15:37-39
And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. When the CENTURION, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!”
luke 23:44-48
It was now about the sixth hour, and darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour, because the sun was obscured; and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." Having said this, He breathed His last. Now when the CENTURION saw what had happened, he began praising God, saying, "Certainly this man was innocent.” And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts.
Since the main target readers of Matthew were Jews, his mentioning of the raised bodies of the saints could serve a significant impact in convincing them about Jesus - the Son of God.
We may also see another example:
God talked to the people around when after Jesus being baptized.
Mat 3:16-17
... a voice out of the heavens said, "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL-PLEASED.”
God talked directly to Jesus in:
Mark 1:10-11
... "YOU ARE My beloved Son, in YOU I am well-pleased.”
Luke 3:21-22
..."YOU ARE My beloved Son, IN YOU I am well-pleased.”
See the difference how Matthew's emphasis on witnessing.
Shalom

flinky,
Thesis ?
How about good biblical theology? :-)
You also said in the other post, "Good thing Mary was so reasonable; other wise, we might have had a different NT."
No sir, Mary is not what determined the outcome. The Lord God is the sovereign God over His creation and it is His plan being worked out in His creation (Psalm 103:19, Psalm 4:8, Psalm 66:7, Galatians 1:15, Luke 1:52, Matthew 5:45, Genesis 50:20, Proverbs 21:1, Genesis 1 and 2). This is not to add to nor detract from Mary at all. Only to point out that God almighty Himself is sovereign and nothing Mary could have done or would have done would have changed the NT. Agreed?

I'm humbled by your note. Of course he was resurrected, not reincarnated. A synaptic lapse on my part.
Though I get an F for misnomer, I stand by thesis. |

flinky, that's flunky theology!
Christ was not reincarnated, He was resurrected by the Power of God! See 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 for a better understanding. The word of God does not teach reincarnation!
