"It's a textbook example of how not to read the text," Lamerson stressed. "It's what we would call an exegetical fallacy.
God also, however, as we are instructed in 1 Corinthians18-19, and 27-28, delights in using his 'foolishness' to confound mens' 'intelligence.' I wouldn't rely too heavily on "logic."
Lol, me either - at least not man's "logic". It's more like:
...Let the reader understand. in Matt. 24:15
In reference to: the [Obam]ination, in the same verse.
And others, like building the wall in the news constantly, today.
"Gog will say to himself: I will invade a land of unwalled villages. I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people - all of them living without walls and without gates and bars - Ezekiel 38:11
It's not logic, just an "understanding", or a "feeling" if you will, to me. God seems to have a sense of humor, likes use of irony, or whatever you want to call it ( i.e., his 'foolishness' ). Just my humble observation. :)
