WhoAmI:
--- Quote from: carol v on August 22, 2008, 12:37:08 PM ---I really like Ray's very logical explanation but I think there is another way to look at this verse as well.
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
We are to apply every word of scripture to ourselves and it's pretty easy to do with the following scripture:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
One of the biggest errors in Christendom is the idea that there is some heaven we will all go to after we die called "The Kingdom of God." It's somewhere north of "The Pit of Eternal Torment." But as we see, the kingdom of God is not far away at all.
So there are those "standing here" (reading right this minute) that will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom (filling their lives now in this vapor of a life in the flesh.)
I kind of see Ray's explanaton as a great one to give to those comparing spiritual with literal and the other explanation for those who compare spiritual with spiritual.

I get you on this. This sort of understanding has helped me a lot with the scriptures. But so many want to know the word only in physical way so to speak. I have said what Kat has said, it is like it is layered. For me it is the growth. It is amazing but then I am reminded of how little I know as well. Oh well I think I would rather be humbled than to know it all. ;)
