“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not!” – Matthew 23:37
“Traditions, everyone has them and those most blinded to them are those who do not believe they have any.” – Dr. James White
In this audio recording, made available through you tube video (which lasts approximately 27 minutes) taken from a Sunday School class, Dr. White (of Alpha and Omega Ministries) exposes the traditions normally associated with the Scripture text of Matthew 23:37.
Many site this text in an effort to refute the biblical doctrine of election. Yet so often the text is misquoted. Key information in the text is left out, obscuring the meaning. Even reformed scholars have been known to misquote the verse. Such is the power of tradition. I recommend this audio teaching highly.
Perhaps you can relate to this – Divine election does indeed seem to be clearly taught in the Bible. Passages such as Romans 8 and 9, Ephesians 1 and 2, John 3, John 6, John 10, John 17, and many others, make a convincing case. However, certain verses, at least at first glance, seem to present a different picture.
