RE: The offering of the widow - Mark 12: 41-44

in #steemchurch7 years ago

Most likely, this widow was aware that the scribes were those people who had chosen religion as a profession for dishonest gain (1 Tim. 6: 5), however, this fact did not discourage her in her desire to devote herself to God with everything he had.

This is one of the clearest examples of eisegesis I've ever seen. The conjecture, "most likely" is not a viable hermanuetic.

I hope the rest of this article was better, but I just couldn't get past this assumption, especially in light of what the Lord had just said about these wicked people.
