Should I e-mail Ray a "thank you?"

(1/5) > >>

Paul:
Ray just answered a question of mine via e-mail. Should I reply with a "thank you?" I realize he gets loads of e-mails and might not want a million "thank you"s.

Well Paul

I do think it is the least you can do, a little appreciation for the unbelievable hard work he is putting into it I'm certain would be a very welcome change to all the abuse he is having to absorb. 

God bless you brother in our joint walk in Christ. 

Love in Christ Jesus.

8) okay, Paul...LOL! You've got me curious....
what was your question
and what was his answer,
if I may be so bold as to ask?
Joyce :)

EKnight:
I think a short thank you would be good.  Nothing too lengthy and don't expect a reply because he is inundated with emails.

Is Matthew 13 a parable?

In verses 36 to 42, Jesus seems to be explaining the parable in verses 18 to 30. He takes all the things in the parable and says they represent real things (the angels, the world, the devil, etc.,) so it seems like he's being literal.

[37]: The sower is the Son of man; [38]: the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the tares are the children of the wicked one; [39]: The enemy that sowed the tares is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; the reapers are the angels;

[40-42:] The process of gathering up the tares and burning them represents the angels gathering up all things that offend and do iniquity, at the end of the world, and throwing them into a furnace of fire.


--- Quote ---Dear Paul: But notice in the explanation that you stated yourself:  "and throwing them into a furnace of fire." We know for sure that this "furnice of fire" is not a LITERAL furnace of fire--it too is figurative languge--symbolic, spiritual.
God be with you,
Ray
