Thursday Reminisce

Okay, so I had already written my blog for last week when the reading for Thursday was posted, but the rules say we can blog about what was discussed in class on Thursday! I really enjoyed Dr. Bear. She knows her English and her Greek!!! (:
“For we of the road do not admit in conversation that there is another side at all.” This passage is marked off in bold on my text. When talked about how the story is very allegorical. We also touched on how it could be assumed that the writer is making reference to some biblical principles. This passage, if taken in a biblical perspective, could relate to unbelievers in the sense that many people who are head strong about there not being a God will typically not admit in a conversation that they have wondered at the thought of there actually being a Divine Creator. Sadly, some believers will not admit in conversation to believing in the spiritual realm (in demons and satan). Let me state here, satan and demons are very much so real and they desire to attach both believers and keep non-believers from hearing the truth. We as believers though have to be willing to know what the truth is so that we can “admit in conversation” the truth. “What I [Jesus] tell you in the dark say in the light, and what you hear whispered proclaim on the housetop.” We ought to be speaking the truth boldly, no lying or cowering back from it. I am going to stop here because I could keep going with this topic.
Dr. Bear did a great job and I enjoyed her teaching on Thursday!

  1. I like how you related the ignoring of the other side of the hedge to spiritual warfare. I believe that this allegory has application to much of spirituality. For one, it provides a great lesson in contentment. Without acknowledging the other side of the hedge, man is left to a state in which he can never find the meaning for which he is striving. It is only when he admits that his meaning does not lie in his achievements that man will be able to be content with his life. Very much like Christianity....
