"but" deliver us from evil
The Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) says:
Matthew 6:13 Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
The two phrases “Lead us not into temptation” and “deliver us from evil” don’t seem to be in contrast with each other. So is t…
Luke 5:32. I have not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners [duplicate]
What do you think Jesus meant by saying these words?
Is He saying that there are righteous people among the sinners? If so, then Paul theology that "everybody is a hopeless sinner" seems contradictory.
Any language literary devices explaining how God’s repent in 1 Samuel 15:35, but also God’s Never Repenting characteristic 1 Sam 15:29 & Num 23:19?
Sorry, I know bible scriptures that mention God repenting, and other verses about God Never repenting has been brought up a number of times on this site in order to harmonize/reason how the said verses can be taken as a whole withOut contradicting each other:
Is there a contradiction between 1 Samuel 15:29 and 1 Samuel 15:35?
Numbers 23:19 Says God doesn’t repent, Exodus 32:14 Says He repented?
Does God have regret or not in 1st Samuel 15?
However, I wanted to bring in the use of literary devices.
1 Samuel 15:29 says that God neither lies nor repents since He is not a man.
(1 Samuel 15:29)
29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent. KJV, ©1769
And yet, in 1 Samuel 15:35, it says that God indeed repented (for making Saul king over Israel).
(1 Samuel 15:35)
35 And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he
had made Saul king over Israel. KJV, ©1769
(Numbers 23:19 (KJV))
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he
spoken, and shall he not make it good?
(Exodus 32:14 (KJV))
And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Could we say that the contradiction between the aforementioned could be associated with literary devices of hyperbole, figure of speech? In other words, for God to repent or to regret something to do with his actions is so disturbing to God Himself that is why Samuel says in 1 Samuel 15:29 that God “will not lie nor repent” ?
Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one ( Galatians 3:20, King James Version )
I have not been to church in years. I recently went to a friend’s prayer meeting. While there, I was encouraged to read the following from the bible:
"Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one." ( Galatians 3:20, King James V…
Book of Esther’s major theme is that God’s people may have Unwillingly strayed away from God, but God is still Loving towards said people
I’m trying to approach the Book of Esther in the Bible in a holistic manner ( taking a bird’s eye view ) of God’s varying calibrated auspices of His chosen Israelite nation.
Also I am taking into account the historical/cultural contexts fo…
Galatians 2:16: is it really "not by works but by faith"?
The NASB renders Galatians 2:16 as follows:
nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus . . .
The way this is rendered, it sounds like “Not A, but rather B!” I was just r…
Deep contextual Comparison & Contrast of Isaiah 6:9-13 to Mark 4:10-12 (esp. in regards to seeing & hearing but Not comprehending)
Isaiah 6:9-13 to Mark 4:10-12 seem quite similar. One difference is that Mark 4:10-12 does specify (Mark 4:11) "outside" when referring to people who are Not Jesus Christ’s followers along with the twelve. However, Isaiah 6:9-1…
What does "laughs" mean in "but the Lord laughs at the wicked," Psalm 37:13?
Psalm 37:12-13
"The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, 13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming". ESV. My emphasis.
What is the nature of this laughing? e.g. Is it c…
Sinned willfully after being baptized but before I received the Holy Ghost…is there still hope for me?
HELP
I was hesitantly baptized in the name of Jesus Christ last month. I say hesitantly because I understood the urgency, but I knew I didn’t really want to turn from my sins. Part of me was still in denial that the God of the Bible could …
Believer But Not A Receiver :: By Dennis Huebshman
Question: Can someone believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and yet not be saved? James 2:19; “You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe and shudder.” Matthew 25:41; “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for […]

Is the "cock that crows" in Luke 22:34 not an actual rooster but a man that calls for prayer?
Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.” Luke 22:34 NIV
