Thanks ScubieNuc!

Why is it that I can read the Scriptures so many times and miss important verses such as these? I read through Luke again just a few months ago, and whoosh. My comprehension has really been shot since the grey hair started showing up.

Maybe so that the Holy Spirit can use me a little? 8^)

I know what you are saying. I think some of it has to do with keeping us studying the Scriptures, and some of it might have to do with joining with others to study.

Obviously, I wasn't the first to see this, and by posting it, I won't be the last. In fact, I think I saw someone else post that observation here on FR. Anyway, I'm glad I could be of some assistance.

Here's something else I find strange. When I look up "full of Grace" I find only one verse...

John 1:14 ¶ And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

When I look up Luke 1:28 I see the word charitoo not kecharitomene for "highly favoured." Charitoo occurs one other time in Eph 1:6...

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Now I realize this breaks down into whose translation you're using, but it seems, IMO, to be quite a huge doctrinal stance on flimsy word parsing.

Oops, I posted #71 to myself. Doh! I stumbled upon some verses in Matthew you might want to look at. (Matthew 12:46-50)

Enjoy.
