A new cardiologist and an established cardiologist unite in the Richmond/Scotland County community for the FirstHealth of the Carolinas cardiology service.
Board certified cardiologists, David Shin and 'Jide G. Lawal, are now FirstHealth affiliates associated with FirstHealth Cardiology Services-Rockingham and FirstHealth Cardiology Services-Laurinburg.
"We are pleased to have two such high-quality providers join the FirstHealth family," said John Krahnert, M.D., chief medical officer for FirstHealth of the Carolinas.
Shin earned a B.A. in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., and a medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, La. He did his internship and residency in internal medicine at Tulane, where he also completed a fellowship in cardiology.
He specializes in invasive noninterventional cardiology, which includes heart catheterizations, pacemaker implantations, transesophageal echocardiograms, and the interpretation of transthoracic echocardiograms, stress nuclear tests, stress echocardiograms and ECGs.
Shin recently relocated from Jacksonville, Fla., and he said he was drawn to FirstHealth of the Carolinas because of its reputation as a progressive organization noted for its efficient delivery of quality health care. He was especially happy to learn that the president, Dan R. Barnes, of the FirstHealth Physician Group is a physician with a firsthand understanding of the challenges of medical practice.
Shin is certified in cardiovascular disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine and also has certifications in CT angiography and nuclear cardiology.
Shin said his prior position included hospital privileges in eight hospitals with daily responsibilities in each hospital.
"The FirstHealth opportunity allows me to care for patients in my clinic and focus on the practice of my invasive skills instead of rounding in hospitals and covering multiple clinics. This location is also closer to my parents and, hopefully, will allow me more time with my family," Shin said.
Lawal earned his medical degree from the College of Medicine at the University of Lagos in Lagos, Nigeria, and completed his internship, residency and a fellowship in cardiology at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons at Harlem Hospital Center, New York, N.Y.
Lawal served Rockingham and Laurinburg in his private practice, Sandhills Cardiology, before joining FirstHealth.
He specializes in noninvasive cardiology, including echocardiograms, nuclear and Holter studies and invasive, noninterventional cardiology, including cardiac catheterizations and coronary angiograms, pacemaker implantations and TEE.
Lawal is board certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease and nuclear cardiology and is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology.
He said he has had a wonderful working relationship with FirstHealth over the past 12 years.
"I am particularly pleased with the quality of care provided to my patients in both Richmond and Scotland counties over that period and with my positive relationship with the other medical professionals in the community, especially Dr. Matthew Block, the area's only other cardiologist. I am delighted to form this association with FirstHealth in the continued pursuit of excellent cardiovascular care to our community," Lawal said.
Krahnert said there is a need for cardiology care in Richmond and Scotland county. " … Dr. Lawal now has an outstanding partner to help meet those needs. Now patients in the area also have extensive local access to FirstHealth's cardiology services along with the support of the state-of-the-art programs that are available at Reid Heart Center just up the road," he said.
FirstHealth Cardiology Services-Rockingham is located at 106 Physicians Park Dr., Rockingham. To make an appointment call 910-895-7227.
FirstHealth Cardiology Services-Laurinburg is located at 1705-A Berwick Dr., Laurinburg. To make an appointment call 910-610-4278.
Office hours for both locations are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Police: Fatal Pedestrian Crash in Belle Haven Area
The following information was supplied by the Fairfax County Police Department. Arrests do not indicate a conviction.
Glenda Gail "for Rail" Parker
8:11 am on Monday, October 22, 2012
This story does not say if the pedestrian had just gotten off a bus or not. The bus stops along this stretch of Rt 1 are usually IN THE MIDDLE of the block, making it more convenient to walk across an unlit Rt 1 rather than walk to the light and cross. We need to move the bus stops along Rt 1 to the corner(s) as Washington, DC has done.
T Ailshire
1:23 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
Yes, convenience certainly trumps SAFETY. "More convenient" is an excuse for not doing the right/safe thing, and then expecting someone else to pay. It's pretty common among pedestrians along US1.
I also despair at what some people are teaching their CHILDREN, by doing the same thing when they have children with them.
Mary Ann Barton
10:40 am on Monday, October 22, 2012
Hi Glenda, we reported on this incident earlier and you can read about it if you click on the highlighted link in the story "Fatal Pedestrian Crash"
S. A. Misener
2:15 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
Just wanted to note that the northbound side of Richmond Highway has no sidewalk from Quanderer Road (Ourisman and Five Guys) all the way down to Huntington Avenue. This is a huge predicament for all pedestrians from the hotels on that side of the road, as well as unwary locals.
M.L. Watkins
9:32 am on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Any pedestrian that attempts to cross Route 1 on a regular basis is aware that it's often difficult in several areas. There are insufficient crosswalks, sidewalks and not enough time to cross with the "walk" sign and one has to hope that drivers allow pedestrians to cross. Many times, pedestrians with crutches, canes or wheelchairs cannot make it across the street safely - crosswalk or not.

Damn all convention, FULL STEAM AHEAD with illegal and unconstitutional legislation pushed in many states thanks to Republicans. It would seem the repugs want to FORCE WOMEN to give birth. It you don't want you child, don't worry, the state will take him/her and sell them to a good christian family. You know there are plenty of christians out there that want your babies! Then they can put your child to work under the new child labor laws being pushed in several states. At reduced wages of course… thanks to recent anti-union legislation. So don't worry for you kids education, if you cant afford a decent privatized school, just put em in Americas great workforce! Does that make you proud to be an American?
As they continue the assault against women, many republicans stand silent and vote with their party. Where is your courage republicans? If you stand against something, why are you silent? Republicans across the country are doing all they can to take WOMEN RIGHTS and PRIVATIZE everything they can. I am starting to think that REPUBLICANS HATE WOMEN RIGHTS!
OnePArty to fight back!

Steven Lonnie Merida, 38, of Flatlick, was arrested by Sgt. Ben Spurlock of the Middlesboro Police Department (MPD) on two counts of second-degree forgery and fraudulent use of a credit card on Tuesday.
According to the citation, the fraudulent use of a credit card charge came from Merida using a credit card that did not belong to him and without the cardholders permission, to make purchases at Walmart. The forgery charges occurred when Merida signed the name of the cardholder to credit card receipts.
Lonnie Derrick Merida, 28, of Speedwell, Tenn., was also charged in the case. Sgt. Wade Barnett of the MPD arrested Lonnie Merida for fraudulent use of a credit card as well as second-degree criminal trespassing.
According to the citation, Lonnie Merida used a credit card that did not belong to him and without the cardholders permission, to make purchases at Walmart and Game Stop. The criminal trespassing charge was brought because he was banned from Walmart for prior theft-related charges.
Both men remained in jail on Thursday.
In an unrelated event, Bruce Scott Smith, 31, of Middlesboro, was arrested. Smith was charged with giving officers a false name, resisting arrest and third-degree assault on a police officer.
According to the citation, officers responded to Park Manor in response to a fight between a male and female. Upon arrival, Lt. Tom Busic of the MPD spoke with Smith. Smith identified himself as someone else to Busic and continued to do so even after being warned about giving a false name.
The resisting arrest and third-degree assault charges resulted from Smith's actions following his being told he was under arrest. According to the citation, once Smith was told he was under arrest, he jerked away and fought with officers.
Smith also remained in jail on Thursday.

Video at link
From another source (picture at this link):A teacher from a high school in Modesto has resigned, left his wife and moved in with his girlfriend, an 18-year-old student.
The Enochs High School teacher and the student said they did not have a physical relationship until the day the girl turned 18. The girl's mother said she has proof that their relationship began sooner. She said she has text messages, phone records and a police report to help build her case.
So far, no arrests have been made. Investigators are trying to figure out whether or not the teacher had inappropriate contact with the student when she was underage.
The teacher, James Hooker, has left his wife and children. He has a daughter who is a junior at Enochs High School.
In an interview with the Modesto Bee, Hooker said, "In making our choice, we've hurt a lot of people. We keep asking ourselves, 'Do we make everyone else happy or do we follow our hearts?' "
The paper reported that the girl's mother has waged a public campaign on Facebook since her daughter moved in with Hooker last week.
Powers said her first inkling that her daughter was involved with her teacher came Jan. 16, during her young son's trip to the emergency room. Hooker came to the hospital with her daughter, who left her phone with an older sister.
The sister, suspicious, found dozens of text messages from Hooker. Powers said when she confronted her daughter, she denied any romance existed. Still worried, Powers contacted Modesto police detectives the next day.
Looking back over phone records, she said she found an estimated 8,000 text messages between the teacher and student going back through the summer. In the fall, about 32 texts a day, starting at 6 a.m. were recorded, she said.
School officials contacted her about a week later with concerns, she said. Discussions between police, school and the family continued for another week, ending with Hooker's suspension Feb. 3.
At that point, Powers said, she was assured by school officials that Hooker would stay away, and her daughter said she was done with Hooker.
"She promised me they didn't have contact. I didn't know until last week there was a sexual relationship. We didn't see any of it," Powers said.
Jordan Powers' father died in 2001. Tammie Powers is engaged, and her fiancé and one of his children live with them, along with Jordan's younger brother. The mother said her fiancé "is horrified, but he's not going to fight with him."
On Facebook, Powers has called Hooker "an arrogant pervert," among other things, and urged readers to "help get the word out" about his involvement with a student.
The hundreds of responses are, for the most part, supportive of her. Many express disbelief.
His poor daughter must be humiliated. No physical relationship before she turned 18? Give me a break. I hope mom is able to prove that their relationship started sooner.

Jill is the founder of Inhabitat, as well as a LEED-AP green designer and green design consultant based in New York City.

TAFLINE LAYLIN - Associate Editor
After receiving her B.A. from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Tafline led "eco-friendly" camping trips throughout North America. It soon dawned on her that she was instead leaving behind a trail of gas fumes, plastic bottles and Pringles. In fact, wherever she traveled – whether it was Viet Nam or South Africa or England – it became clear how inefficiently the mandate to re-think our consumer culture is reaching the general public.
So she has picked up her mighty pen to bring better exposure to environmental issues. At other times, she waxes philosophical about culture and travel on her personal blog. Tafline was born in Iran and raised in the United States, and is currently based in South Africa.

Helping hands helping one another with our family history & genealogy research.
Hi Bill,
The answer to your question is, Crosby was a small village in Frodingham in Lincolnshire, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frodingham,_Lincolnshire.
Church Records are mentioned here.
Thank you, What is Alkborough? Another village? I saw the church records but it seems a little difficult accessing them. I do realize that not all records have been uploaded onto websites, however I am still having trouble finding proof of my findings. With a name like John Walker, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Any ideas as to which direction I could follow?
No worries Bill,
Alkborough is a village in the north of Lincolnshire and a few miles north Crosby:
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LIN/Alkborough/ (genuki) for records or batches to look for to help narrow down records.
Well considering that both Walker is common surname in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, as you can look in the Yorkshire and Humber records also, If you provide some more details for John Walker Maybe I could have a look for you.
Ok, Here is what I have, as I have said there really is no proof. John Walker b. 28 Aug 1814 in (either) Alkborough or Crosby, Lincolnshire, England. Possible father Joseph Walker, mother Mary Garton. Marriage to Anne Wright b. 20 May 1815 in Belton, Lincolnshire, England. Married in Grantham, Lincolnshire in 1938.
Quick question: Do you know whether the town or village of Lincoln in Lincolnshire was a sort of market place or a more bustling city or town back in the 1800's? If my info is correct, then John came from a village more north and Anne a little more south and Lincoln is right in the middle of each. Grantham is only 2 or 3 miles away from Belton. It could've been Anne's parish, and I figured they would marry in her parrish rather than his.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hi Bill,
To answer your question as per the indexes would have been a village in the parish mentioned as in the Wikipedia Entries for each location.
Have you got their marriage certificate or Licence?, As this would clarify the correct location parish, and how did you get the information for Alkbourough & Crosby? as im currently looking on the indexes for marriages.
On FreeBMD.org.uk has the marriage for John Walker Dec 1838 Grantham, Lincolnshire, England 14 640 I haven't found a reference under name of Anne Wright so unsure where to find it under Lincolnshire or Leicestershire as the registration district of Grantham covers these areas.
This would help further to identify sometimes the parish of the church is taken as the primary location and not the location of the individual as you go further back and the linkage of location of marriage to the Birth record can sometimes be unclear or uncertain.
Hi Bill,
I did find one John Walker, Born Alkborough, Haven't found any born at Crosby at the current time.
birth: 27 Aug 1814
christening: 28 Aug 1814 Alkborough, Lincoln, England
parents: Joseph Walker, Mary
His place of birth changes 2 times over the course of the census returns 1841 (He's in Froddingham) then Born Alkborough in 1851 and Crosby in 1862
I found his Parents Joseph Walker & Mary Alive on the 1841 Census in Crosby, Frodingham, Lincolnshire, England, His Fathers occupations as was also an Ag Lab they used to move around abit in the same region around market centers like Frodingham. If you would like a copy of the 1841 census return Let me know happy to send it over.
Hi Bill,
Also found a Marriage for the Pair.
Joseph Walker to Mary Smith 19 May 1814 in Winterton, Lincolnshire, England
Winterton is the next parish over http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winterton,_Lincolnshire
I would love to have copies of anything I can get a hold of. Where did you find the birth and christening of John Walker that says he was born in Alkborough? According to the 1861 Census it says he was born in Crosby. Do you now how the census were taken? Were there forms that each family filled out or did a government official visit each family? Would there be any benefits of "lying" about place of birth? Or could it just have been misinformation? Sorry for the barage of questions.
Hi Bill
I wouldn't call it lying they are apart of the same governed district it would be the place at the time and the census returns were written and collected by numerators whom came door knocking the census event night.
They would have said I hailed from Alkbourough but as a child would have been born a town over not lying it would be like if you were asked the question Mary had a little lamb, Did Mary eat the lamb by having lamb shanks, it looks over time the census questions became less ambiguous and more defined as per the reasoning as they get better in information snapshots in time as it is easier to then trace back i.e. from 1911 in some cases.
The first census hand written by our ancestors was the 1911 census and they were returned by mail or collected by a collector in some countries.
I sourced the christening from Familysearch.org as it looks to be not apart of the indexes on ancestry.

Of the 18,000-plus people who will be inside Amway Center tonight, perhaps no one knows the Magic's first-round draft pick in 2005 better than the Timberwolves' starting point guard.
Ricky Rubio knows Fran Vázquez well. They played together on Regal FC Barçelona and on the Spanish national team.
Rubio thinks Vázquez can help the Magic if Vázquez decides to sign with the Magic when his contract with Barçelona ends after this season.
"He's physically ready to come here," Rubio said today of the 6-foot-10 big man.
"I played with him a couple of years in Barçelona, and it's easy to play with him because he doesn't need the ball. He's a worker. He's going to fight for every rebound. He's going to fight every possession. And you can throw the ball in there, and he's going to catch it and throw it down."
Rubio's own progression could give the Magic some hope that Vázquez could contribute as an NBA player. Rubio's own stats in Europe were relatively poor in recent seasons, leading some NBA observers to label him a "bust" before he played an NBA game. Now, Rubio is a contender for Rookie of the Year honors and began Monday averaging 8.7 assists per game, the fourth-highest average in the league.
José Cobelo, who is Vázquez agent, told the Sentinel in June that the primary reason why Vázquez signed only a one-year contract with Barçelona is that Vázquez wanted to keep his NBA options open.

Industry's first cargo box with two levels separated by a removable, water-resistant panel. It offers the possibility to have an upper and a lower bed with their independent tailgate. Carrying capacity of the box is 13.1 cu ft /372 l of total volume and 600 lb. The tilt-assist dump-bed can be easily activated from both sides. Its single latch upper and lower gates are easily removable and no tools are required. Made of high-strength, anti-rust, anti-dent composite. Also comes with an optional trunk lock as an accessory to secure lower level.
The Can-Am Commander was designed with a more ergonomic seating and steering position than competitive side-by-sides. This provides an optimal seating position, automotive-like ergonomics, low hip position (H point), easier ingress / egress, optimal comfort when riding and more legroom.
Tow heavy loads of up to 1,500 lb with the Commander . Working with a Commander side-by-side vehicle is a snap with its ability to tow up to 1,500 lb.
The DPS™ technology includes a Direct Link setup that uses advanced magnetic field sensors for faster response to steering input than competitive technology, which then minimizes steering lag. Less kickback and more trail feedback is supplied to the operator because of the 50:1 final gear ratio, which is the largest in the industry. A high-capacity 50-amp motor means the DPS™ will never fade with heavy use and all DPS™-equipped models also come with the Visco-Lok† QE.
Wheels featuring a strong lightweight construction.
State-of-the-art instrumentation including analog tachometer and speedometer, and a digital information center.
The lightweight radial tires offer a smoother ride, predictable cornering and optimum climbing confidence.
Beefier looks and functionality to enhance the fascia on the Commander.
BRP partnered with well-known off-road industry leader WARN to add its 4,000-lb winch to the Commander XT and LIMITED. BRP chose a premium WARN winch kit for the ultimate in performance and durability. Well respected in the off-road community, the WARN winch kit includes a roller fairlead, wired remote control and integrated winch remote storage.
Added fender extensions or mudguards created an extra layer of mud protection for the occupants. Provide added protection in muddy conditions.
All DPS-equipped models have the Visco-Lok† QE calibration up front, which has all the features and benefits of the standard quick-engagement Visco-Lok† differential, but with an even quicker engagement point. The industry's only progressive auto-locking front differential that engages all wheels at any speed. It constantly monitors front wheel speed, and if it detects one wheel spinning faster than its mate, it progressively sends more power to the wheel with better traction. All without the driver having to push buttons or pull levers.

@Stefan2: I'm afraid option 5 is no option. Wouldn't it be illegal to use TC longer than a certain period of time without buying a license (perhaps I"m mistaken)? By the way, it would be a shame to let the nag screen in place when you actually own a license.
@Nevel: Stefan2 said:

Personally I prefer it to be configurable. I don't mind the license information to be in the About screen, but I do find it irritating to have it in the window title. I've obtained a (corporate) license in 1997/8 and the company has been renamed twice since. Each time I've gotten a new file, but I'd rather do without it altogether.

Hey, guys.
It does not really bother me reading my own name on top of the T.C. window although I do not really need T.C. in order to remind me of my own name.
And I do not care too much that in the office T.C. still displays the old company name though we have changed our company name.
Yet, of course, I will not object either if one fine day Christian decides to remove the licencee's name from the title bar completely or to offer an option to switch it off.

Just install TCFS2 and hide title bar
you'll save a bit of screen space:)
Using Autorun.wdx plugin it is possible to hide it automatically when TC is started.

It's not. :) DRM can seriously limit what you can do with music you paid for. It might not play in your favourite player, it may be impossible to copy to your other computer, etc.
Name on titlebar doesn't cause any problems. It doesn't influence the functionality in any way. You can copy TC to all computers you own and it will work. No limits anywhere. Why does it annoy you so much?

Or change the title with AutoHotkey, or NirSoft's WinExplorer, or launch the program with
and set a custom TitleBar at launch. Or use one of the tools for TC - either AHK script or other that set's the TitleBar to current folder or other data.

How in the world is having your name in the titlebar like DRM? DRM on music restricts how and where you can play that music. Your name in the titlebar restricts nothing. I've never seen such a violent reaction to titlebar text in my entire life.
Personally, I love the idea of having my name in the titlebar. I see that sort of thing as a great "thankyou" for purchasing the product - having my name on it. Developers should do it more, even if it's just in the About screen.
I wouldn't object to the titlebar text being made optional, but I for one will be keeping it the way it is.

The name on title bar don't bother me. I use TC daily and I'm not seeing the name anymore. Maybe an configurable option is the best for those who don't like it at all.
@oxman: Why you buy a software when this little thing is a knock-out criterion for you to not use TC? If you learn the real features and great benefits of TC then you would not get annoyed about this small cosmetic issue.

A pseudo-content plugin that intended to perform some tasks at Total Commander launch. You can run a file, execute TC's command (both cm_ and em_), set environment variable, set delay between commands, write value to ini file, load library or plugin. Commands are reads from text configuration file.
There's also my AHK script
Set TitleBar to ActivePath & Append TC Default Title
, As I don't know about others but I certainly wouldn't want to remove the Min/Max/Close buttons.
While Autorun.wdx and other tools like it might be useful to some, I find learning a scripting language like AutoIT, AutoHotKey or PowerPro (among others) are far more useful to the programmatically inclined. Since the same knowledge learned for TC can be utilized for customizing/or automating any program you use.

We continue our thoughts on Texts & Contexts with a brief discussion of the importance of context. Context can signify several different things and all are necessary for a proper interpretation of not only Scripture but most any piece of literature. Because of the "sloppiness" of the term context some linguists distinguish between cotext and context. The word cotext would refer to the sentences, paragraphs and chapter surrounding the "text" under consideration. These linguists then use the term context to refer specifically to the sociological and historical setting of the text. It is traditional to talk of "literary" context and "historical" context but I like the more precise language of cotext and context and shall be using that in his mini-essay. Thus context refers to the sociological and historical situation of the writer and text produced. It is not important that you adopt this terminology rather what is important is that we take seriously what these terms represent.

Cool stuff Bobby! Very interesting. Do you have any recommendations for OT stuff for use in NT backgrounds or English/Hebrew lexicons? All of what you wrote about today is of great interest to me too. Thank you for writing about this today. God bless! Zack
ps. How is Rachael doing? I pray she has (or is) recovering her full health. - 8:23 AM

1432, from L. contextus "a joining together," orig. pp. of contexere "to weave together," from com- "together" + textere "to weave" (see texture).
Anyone who would destroy such beautiful etymology by coining the term "cotext" deserves to be whipped with a wet noodle! Bah...
Rant aside, your thoughts are very well presented. Too often I find myself supposing that Paul wrote his letters from New York in the late 1980s...

Hi Bobby,
I think Gordon Fee was right. Regardless of how much we study those outside materials, we cannot approach a first century "Joe Cool"s understanding of his culture. So we must be careful. This could turn into a free-for-all where people manipulate the scriptures to say whatever they wish, by presuming some special understanding of the first century culture. I doubt God left us in a situation where we could not understand his will without speculation based on uninspired writings.
That's not to say I consider these outside works unnecessary. I just think we need to proceed with caution. - 10:35 AM
- Stoned-Campbell Disciple said...
Alan we must always approach the text and the ancient world with a certain amount of humility. Indeed we need to have a healthy skepticism about our "assured" conclusions.
Yet the more we know about the setting and context of any writing the more confidence we can have in our reading. Indeed that "context" often shapes "how" a writer presents his or her work to the reader. I intend on, in the next installment, giving a demonstration of sorts of a specific text.
I agree with you, however, that we move forward with all interpretation humbly and cautiously.

I want to also thank you for the book recommendations. Sounds like great reads. Can't wait to dive into those! - 8:41 PM

Zack, Rachael is doing much better. She gets tired really easy and we are trying not to over do anything with her. I have been trying to be an attentive Dad. That is more important than any other project I have going on right now. I appreciate you asking.
As for Hebrew Bible materials: the standard Hebrew/English lexicon is Brown-Driver-Briggs. The work is in need of major revision but few scholars want to take on such a task. It is also a very intimidating book. Words are listed according to ROOTS and if you do not know Hebrew well enough to get the root then the book will be of little use. But it is the standard too.
There is a very user friendly book by Bill T. Arnold and another author published by Baker Academic called Encountering the Old Testament World (or something close to that ... I will have to double check). This is an excellent work and entry point.
For the NT Paul Barnett has written a wonderfully useful book called "Behind the Scenes of the New Testament". I have recommended this book many times.
For some insight into social values in the NT world then David DeSilva's book Honor, Patronage,Kinship & Purity: Unlocking New Testament Culture will probably open as many passages in a new way as any other book.
There are books galore brother. Finding the time to read them all is the challenge. Get a good translation of the Apocrypha. You will be glad you did.

Thanks for the encouragement to study the context.
I am amazed at how so many people can believe so furvently in almost anything when it comes to Jesus and/or matters of faith. It seems we live in an anthing goes world.
I am with you on the context issue. And you encourage me to push deeper all the time. And I think you are right that the more context you know, the more sense the Bible makes.
Many blessings... - 3:38 AM

Cool stuff. I'll certainly make it a point to get some of those. Glad Rachael is doing better. We're praying for her and for all of you. Be blessed!

I remember Carroll Osburn relaying a discussion he had with someone who was taking exception with a point he was making. If I remember correctly he said this person said to him something to the effect of, "What is so important about all this "context stuff?"
We must be students of "context stuff" for if we are not, we are doomed to make some serious errors in Biblical understanding or even worse, inject our opinion into that understanding.
I'm looking forward to the next post. - 10:13 AM

Keep up the good work.

Very well thought-out, researched and written. This is something I taught for years, albeit in a less scholarly fashion. We do serious damage to scripture when we strain it through our modern, or post-modern as it were, experiences, preconceptions, etc. The text must first carry enormous weight and significance to the original audience before it ever means anything to subsequent audiences, including us. The failure to do so has led to many a wrong conclusion and doctrine, and unfortunately division within the body.

As I read this I wonder how the new Christian would feel if I told them they had to become a historical anthropologist to really understand the meanings of Paul's teaching? That the Bible, is only valuable in the light of obscure documents that were common to the day? That they really need to understand words such as "exegesis", "Septuagint", "Apocrypha" and the nuance of cotext vs. context. I am not a new Christian and I find statements like the quote below daunting and disheartening.
"Any reader of the NT then should have a thorough knowledge of the Hebrew Bible. They should know the legends of the Maccabean martyrs. They should have a working knowledge of the Apocrypha (especially Sirach, Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, the additional legends regarding Daniel and I mentioned the Maccabees independently). Josephus is a valuable tool for understanding some of the political givens in the Gospels. First Enoch is an important text too."
I have read a number of these and some I have never even heard of.
All of these sources are good for the scholar. But in reality, how many of us are really scholars in the real sense of the word? Most of us are average "Joe Cools" with an average education. This would include most Proclaimers, Church Leaders and Teachers of the Word. It certainly includes me.
I see the value of knowing the the material presented here. The more we know the better we can convey the truth. Is the truth really this hard though? I wonder.
There are a number of traps that we need to be cognizant of as we tread these waters.
1) Knowledge that does not lead to deeper relationship with God is worthless.
1 Cor 13:2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
This is the heart of Phariseeism.
2) Requiring a "deeper understanding" is at the heart gnosticism. It separates people in to intellectual levels building a spiritual aristocracy that is of man not of God. There is not a good single verse for this one that expresses the depth of this problem. The whole of the NT is filled with it.
3) As we delve into the depths of the vehicle of the message, we need to be concerned that we not forget the message itself. This is the trap the Ephesians fell into.
Rev 2:2-5
I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. You have persevered and have endured hardships for my name, and have not grown weary. Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.
This comment is not meant to be a criticism of anyone. Bobby, I do not believe you are guilty of falling for any of these traps; quite the opposite, actually. It is however a call to caution. - 2:20 PM
- poet_imp said...
With what I said above out of my system now, I would also like to add... Thank you!
I appreciate your scholarship and willingness to share your thoughts. They are deep and wonderful, causing me to both question where I am at and how I think. You are a blessing. - 2:30 PM
- Stoned-Campbell Disciple said...
Thank you for adding some very good comments. I detect wisdom in your words of caution. I think you are quite right that a brand new Christian or one coming to faith in Christ need not be a historical anthropologist. And I would submit to you that even a more experienced Christian need not be one either.
On a different level however, I would argue that a seeker or a more "advanced" student may often need outside help in grasping the text. The Biblical record testifies to this in a number of places.
First I would produce as exhibit A the Ethiopian Nobleman. I would assume the Nobleman was of at least average intelligence. He was a seeker and a student too. But Luke is quite clear that he did not grasp the "meaning" of the text. He was asked "Do you UNDERSTAND ...?" And his reply was "How can I, unless someone EXPLAINS it to me" (Acts 8.30-31).
The Nobleman needed "outside" assistance. In this case that aid came from an oral discussion and human teacher. In our day it could be that way, it could be in the form of a book or the like. But the principle is the same. The Nobleman was not left to his own devices in his interpretation of the text.
I would also submit Peter's commentary on Paul. The apostle, again of at least average intelligence, said "His letters contain some things that are HARD to understand" (2 Pt 3.16)
And Peter was speaking as a contemporary. How much more will his statement be true for those who are are two thousand years later.
The Bible, precisely because it was aimed at real people, who lived in a real time and at a specific place, will contain material that are specific to that time and place. As a people who have come to faith in the Messiah we want to grasp that text as best we can. This will require work on our part and it will take the illumination of the Holy Spirit.
The Hebrew Preacher was not talking to babes in the faith (chronologically) but rather folks who should have developed. Note the Preacher's language:
"We have much to say about this, but it is HARD to explain because you are slow to learn. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you needed some one to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again ... (Heb 5.11-12)
This Preacher makes use of all kinds of material that he fully expected his hearers to recognize and grasp. His use of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible is immense. His use of Jewish tradition from beginning to end was readily understood in his day. He borrows from the Wisdom of Solomon in chapter 1; in ch. 11 he goes to town with the various appeals to legends about the prophets, Maccabean martyrs and a host of others.
Thus we are called simply to be students.
On the other hand you are also quite right about knowledge and love. I have no sympathy for Gnosticism. Indeed I can honestly say if there is something I detest it is Gnosticism.
But our study of the text and its context is done out of reverence for the One who is encountered in and through the Word. This study is not some mere academic exercise or we are simply engaged in idolatry. No, I believe we come to the text fully expecting to be transformed by the Living Word into his image. Knowing what "cotext" is is not worth a lot if the love of Jesus is not infused into our hearts.
Have we really grasped the text if we come away assured of our own righteousness ... or even our wisdom. I think the goal of truly studying the text is to love God with our hearts AND our minds. God wants all of me.
But all of me will always be "not enough." Thus we are never arrogant or smug about what we think we know. Scriptural knowledge should lead to a kind of gentleness and humility.
Thank you for sharing. I do not know if any of this makes any sense. It is kind of convoluted. For that I apologize.
