My quote at your posting was:
I think Phil you are compete wrong in your interpretation of the part of Heb 3
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
But I have to say.. actually you didn't gave a real interpretation of the Script...[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Because what I understand what you say was: it was actually the only thing you said:
Yes the sheep hear His voice, but in the first instance the writer of Hebrews is citing Psalm 95 :7-11, tthis shows that all scripture is God breathed. for it is this Psalm the writer is citing.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
What you do is actually not given an interpretation.. this is only a pointing to Ps 95:7-11.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Yes it is important..of course..because it meant actually that the Holy Spirit is the author of the Holy Script..[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
The whole time you said: You have to read it in the context.. And I said: I am showing you the whole context... [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
It is not that I wanted to teach you, how to read. But I want to gave you some background..(I hope you see the context)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
In the first part of the chapter.. the writer of the book Hebrew, said that Jesus is much greater as Moses. The writer speaks the believers here with the name 'brothers'. The writer means here, childeren from God and brother from the Lord Jesus. (Heb 2:10-13) So the meaning is when the writer call brothers.. He mean true Christians.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Because that the writer writes that Jesus is greater as Moses, he prepare the brothers to a warning. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Yes, he quote the Ps 95:7b-11. And it is written in the precent form. It meant: Like He speake now. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
We can learn this:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
a) Like you said and I agree, the Scripture is God breathed. He is the Author of the OT. (see Heb 9:8, 2Tim 3;16, 2Peter 1:21) [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
b) When the Holy Spirit is named so specially it is a serious and worrying word that is spoken.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
If you read it correct, you see that it is used from the LXX. (Ps 95) [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
The sheep, is always the meaning of the people of the Lord. It can mean the Israelites [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
(Like it is written in Ps 95:7)[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
, but it can mean too Christians (Jh 10:16).
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
When there is written sheep: Jesus didn't say not for nothing: There can be come wolf in the clothes of sheep. (Mt 10:6, Act 20:29)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
In the Bible can you reed that the Lord is the Shepper and His people are the sheep. (Look at Is 40:11) Jesus said by Him self in Jh 10:14
I am the Good Shepherd, and I know those that are Mine, and I am known by those who are Mine.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
And Jh 10:16
And I have other sheep who are not of this fold. I must also lead those, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one Shepherd
[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Hebr 13:20 said: Jesus is the great Shepeard of the sheep.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
When the Lord compare Israel with the Church..he don't say: Well... I am talking about people, who doesn't covert to Jesus.. and the warnings are not for you... but for other... No, He warns us. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
It is one big warning to us. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Vs 8 The writer citate still Ps 95.. And he pointed to Ex 17:1-7 Where the nation stood up against Moses because they got a short of water. The Hebrew names of the places is called Merivah (what mean battle of argue and Massahriva (mean temptation) The LXX said about this names: Reviling and Temptation. The temptation and reviling is not only limited to that both places, but it is for a long period.. (40 years)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
When we are looking at the temptation we can see that it isn't about a testing from God to the nation Israel. But the temptation from Israel.. (vs 9; Ps 78:17-19; 95:9)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
When we read this we can read a warning at the believers that they don't have to harden their harts. And no provocation. (or other translation bitterness) [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
By harden their hards we have to think at the choice that the believer got that he don't wanted to listen any more at the voice of the Lord. The result is unbelieve (vs 12, 19, 4:3)and disobedient (Heb 4:6, 11)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Vs 12 is: After ps 95 we get now the actually warning, we can read that because it is written by the word [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
dio[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
Vs 14 said: We are partakers of Christ. (an other word is parnters) The believers are the body of Christ, and when we read it correct actually... (and I think you like this) We got it... But when we read the next sentence correct, we read: There is a condition, by the word [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
IF[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
: Namely: [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]the[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] end,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
can make it a lot longer.. But I think it is very long.. When you study it correct.. there is no other opition... than agree what here is written.. I asked you at an interpretation.. Maybe.. you can gave more than only the pointing.. at Ps 95..
