Bind?
If you were a Conjurer or Sorcerer you could try. That is a major part of casting spells.

JD, I don't bind God to anything - after all it's His Word I study but once again it appears to be"different strokes for different folks" You seem to respect "hermeneutics" and all that so go for it.The scriptures I cite below apparently don't mean anything to you However when Paul writes"This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shallevery word be established" he speaks of a spiritual principal familiar to those who know God, HisWord, and His ways.When Jesus tells the Jews "It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me"He is speaking of the same principle. Since you are so disinterested I won't quote the others.So it's good enough for Moses, Jesus, and Paul - but JD rejects it because it does not line up withhermeneutical rules. Jesus - God the Word says "If you abide in Me and My words abide in you"He said nothing about having the right hermeneutical rules to qualify. Why do you put this yoke onothers JD?On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 00:01:11 EST [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:In a message dated 3/3/2005 7:42:29 AM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

I prefer to call it a scriptural principal rather than a rule. Paul uses it is 2 Cor 13:1; Jesus speaks of it in
Matt 18:16; and he reminds the Jews about it in John 8:17; the writer of Hebrews mentions it in
Heb 10:28 and you can find it under the Old Covenant in Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:16; 19;15.
Judy, you have no hermeneutical rules whatsoever. If it sounds good to you, it is the voice of God in Script. Sad. Case in point? All of the above. Not a single scripture applies to the establishment of "divine and revealed truth." Not a single scripture in the above applies to any subject except the discipline of one man against another. Such is a legal principle in use today. You take a very specific application, a very consistent application, broaden it into a "principle," and bind God this "rule" of yours.
