The worst thing a person could do when studying scripture is jsut read words. Not saying that's what you do, but every word, sentence, and verse has structure, context, tone, hebrew/greek/aramaic word meanings of varying shade, and tenses. I'm simply saying, there are so many things that are said that aren't said. For example, in Luke 19:3, the Bible says that Zacchaeus "sought to see Jesus . . ." The tense of the statement is imperfect, which signifies a continuous past action that will have continuous results. that's opens up so much to that one scripture. You feel me knockin?
