As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him.
And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Ping.
I'm a real stickler for details. The professional credentials everyone should be on the lookout for is DO.
DO stands for doctor of osteopathic medicine. They use the same conventional medical techniques as MDs but with a few other methods. DOs tend to focus more on holistic health and prevention. In holistic health, all parts of a person, including their mind, body, and emotions, are considered during the treatment.The Redeemer's is a real "Can DO" mindset that takes tender mercy and compassion to a whole other level. People can really learn from him, to follow his methodology -- to listen, learn, and then go and DO likewise. Not any time or desire left for ego. Everyone really will have something better to DO.https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/difference-between-md-and-do
Besides all of that,
osteo- + -pathic
osteo- Combining form of Ancient Greek ὀστέον (ostéon, “bone”).
There is an interesting detail in the "ὀστέον" Wiktionary entry above. Now typically, when an ancient Greek (or Hebrew) word had been used in the Bible, its Strong's concordance number will be linked in the 'references' section.
Take "kingdom", for example:
The page for βασιλεία links to G932.
The page for מלכות links to H4438
Which brings me back to the interesting detail on the "ὀστέον" page.
"Further Reading" links to G4536:
πρόσληψις próslēpsis, pros'-lape-sis; from G4355; admission:—receiving.a receiving: into the kingdom of God
Strong's Number G4356 matches the Greek πρόσλημψις (proslēmpsis), which occurs 1 times in 1 verses in the TR Greek.
Rom 11:15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving G4356 of them be, but life from the dead?
How did that happen? What kind of connection is that to bones, anyway?
bones: The framework or foundation of something.
(The term associated with Joseph is yesod, meaning "foundation".)
Genesis 50:25 And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence."DO"Exodus 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
Ezekiel 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones...
I could go on with the word plays, but that 2-letter word really encapsulates the whole shebang (archaic for a temporary shelter). 🤔
OCD tends to be a derogatory term, but then when it turns out to stand for
Observe
Connect
DO
Everyone suddenly will want to climb aboard. 🚀
