[Running On Empty]

“My own sense is texts of the Holy Scriptures often have mulitple levels of meaning.”

I’m glad you mention this, as this is the way I was taught...”The Four Senses of Scripture”.

I was also taught that these levels are “ ‘globally’ reinforced across the entire holy work”. It wasn’t expressed in the exact terms you use, but I certainly learned it that way.

The Dawg gloss is AT LEAST 4 SENSES. I was lector (not Hannibal) last night. When I came to where Ananias calls Paul "brother," I nearly lost it.

To think that at the word of Jesus the persecuted would call the persecutor, "brother," just overwhelmed me momentarily.

I certainly learned it that way.

Then you and I are probably walking the same road, dear brother in Christ! May the Holy Spirit continue to light it for us!

May God bless you and all your dear ones!
