Mark,

your obviously misunderstanding me from your comments. In terms of covenantal theology it is extremely important, particular if one is going to argue from texts based upon such theology i.e priesthood.

I believe that one must first be able to exegete the passage first and show in the context the meaning that you put on the word or sentence or verse. After that one can attach it to whatever theology that you subscribe to. I find that too many people bypass the context to jump to their theology. I believe that without a clear explanation within the passage first, a system of theology can deceive our minds. I have seen it happen too many times. And I do not want to be one who is misled because I failed to consider the context.

As far as the inspiration of God’s Word and the quotation of what Jesus said that had not been written down, I believe that the Holy Spirit inspired the writers and that Jesus’ prophecy was true when He said:

Joh 14:26 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

I have no need to doubt Jesus’ words or to doubt the actual autographs. I am just a simple person. I just believe that God did not inspire any error nor do I think that God put His own name in the mouth of Eve after she was dead.

Now maybe I can ask you a question. Is there anything on the video clips that made sense to you that you had not thought through before? Did you see any value at all in my paying attention to the actual words in the Scriptures and the inspired grammar?

I will likely see your response tomorrow as I am going to bed now.

Good night all and thanks to all for participating in such a lively discussion. I hope that any who are reading this and not commenting are being blessed by the respect that we hold to God’s word.
