I really thought that was in the passage, that there were no worthy men or something... reread it and it doesn't even hint at that. :-PJoanna Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240506825764536504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-75598327551551971832011-08-05T10:12:30.927-07:002011-08-05T10:12:30.927-07:00You know, I did a word study on the sentence where...You know, I did a word study on the sentence where Deborah was talking to Barak, saying that the victory would be by the hands of a woman. I used a KJ Bible and a Strong's Concordance and truely, it could go either way.<br />I saw no more evidence of it being a rebuke than it just being Deborah saying how it was going to be. It could just as easily be interpreted as NOT a rebuke as being a rebuke. To me, there just isn't enough evidence to say, "Yeah, it is definitly a rebuke. For sure and for certain."<br />Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't.Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-14784915273056032172011-08-04T21:10:33.338-07:002011-08-04T21:10:33.338-07:00WOW....

Wow. *scrubs brain*<br /><br />It does kinda seem like Barak's wimping out, though, because it looks like Deborah's taking him to task for not responding to God's command, and he says, "well, I'm only going to go if you go with me [to make sure God really is on my side]" and Deborah says, "all right, I'll go, but somebody else (who happens to be a woman) is going to get the glory for the victory". Just my perspective :-)<br /><br />Love your blog! First time in a while I've had to do a double-take ... can't believe there's STILL some of this crap I still believe >.<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-63692857258563237962011-07-13T13:36:11.304-07:002011-07-13T13:36:11.304-07:00Yep!
