2004.07.D.14 Correction -- The Parable Of The Leaven Created by James3 on 8/17/2019 1:29:36 PM Correction -- The Parable Of The Leaven
Greetings
I received the following response to the article on the Parable of the Leaven from Menachem Korn "... the kingdom of heaven can never become corrupt. christendom is not the kingdom of heaven. the parable of the leaven means that just as leaven turns the whole lump, so too the kingdom of heaven will progress inexorably. the analogy is to the two bread offerings brought at pentecost, which was leavened and not unleavened. this was a positive example of leaven in the OT. And so is the analogy in the NT in my opinion."
On reflection I have concluded that I do not think that the previously published interpretation holds water and apologise accordingly.
Warm regards and blessings
“This parable teaches that as the years and centuries roll on, the pure Christianity of the early church will become progressively corrupt until the entire lump [ Christendom ] is leavened”."
Is particularly challenging.
Warm regards and blessings
