Oh wait what am I sayi...Yeah. It's pretty sad. <br />Oh wait what am I saying, I mean Moses stretched out his hands to split the Red Sea and in the same way God is going to separate the goats from sheep.<br />Stretching out the hand always means judgment. I'll prove it:<br />Ps 144:7 "Stretch out your hand from on high; rescue me and deliver me from the many waters, from the hand of foreigners,"<br />I'm Vincent Cheung, and this has been another scriptural exegesis.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630461838295942309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415216177401538805.post-46917008348369217592011-10-25T15:50:11.273-04:002011-10-25T15:50:11.273-04:00Don't laugh, Phil. Quite a number of years ago...Don't laugh, Phil. Quite a number of years ago I had some small interaction with a Bristopoly or some such like nic. It was on the Founder's blog. Brist was a classically nasty fellow with clear hyper leanings. I presented this same passage from Calvin to him, along with the verse from Isa 65 which Paul is quoting in Romans 10. His reply was that some former prof had told him that more often than not, the metaphor of "arms reached out" was an expression of judgement and curse etc.<br /><br />Even tho the entire context from Isa 65 speaks against that, but to calling and gathering, he would not budge. His "system" drove him to that extreme because both the force of the Scripture and the System could stand together: one had to go. :-)<br /><br />DavidDavidhttp://calvinandcalvinism.com/?page_id=8466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6415216177401538805.post-49770717865778911102011-10-19T23:43:48.144-04:002011-10-19T23:43:48.144-04:00By 'stretching out His hand' we are to und...By 'stretching out His hand' we are to understand it's in order to strike the reprobate with pestilence and plague, terror and hell! <br />God predestined men to hell, there is no invitation! <br />I'm Vincent Cheung, and this has been another scriptural exegesis.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630461838295942309noreply@blogger.com
