If you could cite the OT passage you mentioned, I would be happy to look at it.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and for your comment.

Thanks for visiting and for your comments.
...Barb,<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and for your comments.<br /><br />You're absolutely right that Cowper certainly received inspiration for his hymn from actual passages in Scripture. We sometimes use terms and expressions to sum up sound Biblical doctrine. Words like “Trinity” or “Rapture” do not occur in the Bible. However, we use them as terms of convenience to describe things about the Bible we know to be true. In his hymn, Cowper was describing something true about God – that we can't understand all of His ways. <br /><br />It's not necessarily a bad thing to use familiar expressions. We just need to be careful in discerning between what is Scripture and what is simply man's description of Scripture. It would be wrong to say, “The Bible says, 'the Lord works in mysterious ways.'”<br /><br />To your point about demon possession: I believe ancient people sometimes ascribed supernatural causes to mundane maladies. Demon possession, however, was a real phenomenon. The Bible is very clear in Jesus' encounters with different people that sometimes people had physical ailments and sometimes they were possessed with demons. Jesus spoke with the demons and they answered Him. In the case of the demon named, “Legion,” the demons left the man and entered the nearby pigs. Certainly that cannot be true if the “possession” were merely a mental illness.<br /><br />I encourage you as you continue your studies. I hope God blesses your labors with fruit.

Wm. Cowper.<br />Your calling this a misquote of the Holy Bible is true. Cowper is said to have referred to NT John 13:7; however, when I searched kingjamesbibleonline.org on 'wonder, mystery, perform, mind of God (or, "of the Lord")', I found a greater understanding of his inspiration for the phase. The greatest mysteries being about Christ. (Job 37; Romans 11:34, I Corinthians 2:16, in particular.) I hope this helps. I found the study fascinating!<br /><br />"Demon possession," as we know, is Schizophrenia, Insanity and other mental illnesses organic to the brain. Doesn't that make sense? Here's a thought: How could Mary Magdalene be a prostitute having demons that through her into fires all her life? Epilepsy, is referred to separately by the Apostle Paul. <br /><br />"Mystery of Babylon" is thought by some Bible scholars to be: All religions that worship idols or pervert the Word of God; or, everyone and everything outside of the Lord and Christ. (Why would the scriptures speak of just one particular group in world history when the Word is written in completeness, all-encompassing?) <br /><br />Thank you for your time and I truly enjoy your sight. The more I read and study the Holy Bible the less I really know! The LORD loves us and wants us to love HIM through Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit, His Living Word.

You have a sharp eye and I appreciate that you've taken the time to double check what I've said against Scripture.<br /><br />The same point you made has been made to me before and if you notice, I've added an addition in green that the common "paraphrase" of the Golden Rule is very close to the actual translation in different versions.<br /><br />Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

To not correct a child?<br /><br />Perhaps you're a little confused by the language? Some people claim to have a little trouble with the KJV. I'll paraphrase it in modern terms:<br /><br />"Correct your child when he's done wrong. It's not going to kill your kid to spank him. It's better to correct him sternly now than let him suffer worse things later."<br /><br />Does it still sound like child abuse? I think, maybe you're being overly sensitive. I think it's far worse to not discipline your child.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting. <br /><br />God bless!!<br />RKBentleyRKBentleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566375018731000081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030110973061875792.post-48153372629333527772011-08-18T03:48:14.781-04:002011-08-18T03:48:14.781-04:0013Withhold not correction from the child: for if t...13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.<br /><br /> 14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. <br /><br />Hmm...sounds like an the child abuse to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030110973061875792.post-3133887342984259992010-12-12T07:58:29.148-05:002010-12-12T07:58:29.148-05:00freebobafett,

However, the verse as I posted it is accurate. Nearly every time I quote the Bible on my blog, I copy and paste the verse from BibleGateway.com. I also have a neat application called RefTagger that displays the verse whenever you hover your mouse over it. In this post, I copied the KJV version and the RefTagger displays the NASB. Both of them say, "the law AND the prophets." Check it out for yourself.<br /><br />Thanks again for visiting.<br /><br />God Bless!!<br />RKBentleyRKBentleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00566375018731000081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030110973061875792.post-50583266793981974222010-12-12T07:06:07.224-05:002010-12-12T07:06:07.224-05:00um...you probably shouldn't misquote the bible...um...you probably shouldn't misquote the bible in a post about misquoting the bible.
