Wisdom of Solomon Chapter 2 Comment...
"I have often wondered if most of what is in chapter 2 was some sort of minor prophesy of what the pharisees and such would discuss in their plot to kill Jesus. So much of what is in that chapter Jesus spoke out against and the musings regarding testing him and putting him to a shameful death sure does parallel the last few days of Jesus' life. Maybe this is one of the reasons the Jews would not accept this a scripture; it was self condemning."     > Respond now...

Letter of Jeremiah Chapter 1 Comment...
"Hello Robert. I wasn't able to follow your request. If you were looking for the meaning of 'gay', we see this word only in James 2:3, where the understanding should be, of a person wearing "goodly apparel" (v2) which implies clothing that is clean, expensive or with intricate tailoring; unlike the one who wears "vile raiment" (dirty, torn). And the other word you mentioned, "virgin", though appearing several times in Jeremiah, does not have the word "gay" connected to it. Could you clarify? Thanks."     > Respond now...

Ecclesiasticus Chapter 32 Comment...
"Ecclesiaticus 32: 1-4, Speaks of a feast that is tacking place. Since you are the master of the feast, don't lift yourself over others. Be as calmly as everyone else for all know who you are and respect will follow you. but don't make others feel belittled. Notice it says take diligent care of the people by sitting down as the rest. When it becomes your time to speak , do so with sound judgement (wisdom), speak not long when there are musicians present, because it is a time to eat, drink, dance, and be merry. The wine is to lift the spirit of laughter, if not over consuming, therefore don't hinder the joy of the feast with your long speech. The feast is not the place for Preaching or a Lecture of learning. If it were wine wouldn't be present. This is not speaking that a minister should not speak with musicians in the church. This is a feast. Preaching and Lecturing has it's place, if you don't believe me listen to ( Deliverance Is Available by Vicki Yohe ) and tell me this song has no place in the Church. However if you believe that music should not be played in your church, it is a sin to you."     > Respond now...
