OT but had to mention that I'm ENFP and dh is ISFP, so I'm sure that has something to do with our frustration.

Re: So what do we do about Hebrews 12:6?
Paul wrote in Greek but thought in Aramaic. So he had Aramaic thoughts and a Hebrew mindset behind his Greek words. When he uses the Greek language he uses it in a way that reflects his Jewishness. Kind of like someone who is speaking English as a second language they often use sentance structure and words that reflect their native tongue and native culture.

Re: So what do we do about Hebrews 12:6?
Did you know Paul INVENTED 8 words for Greek that did not exist prior to him writing his letters??? Paul most assuredly was conveying Hebraic thought in a Greek language And Aramaic was the modern parallel Hebrew/Semitic language to Greek at the time of the NT. Yeshua spoke Aramaic.
One of the biggest questions that has to be asked before studying the book of Hebrews, though, is WHO wrote it. And we just don't know. There are several researched and valid guesses, but that is, at the end of the day, all the are (as a side note, two of the suggestions are women and I think one of them has the best support for it but that's another post ). But once we realize we don't know who wrote it we can move on to the purpose of the book, which is pretty obvious from the text. Chapter 1 makes it pretty evident this is being written to Jewish Believers in Messiah who are suffering. There is some debate over the time it was written--persecution prior to the destruction of the Temple in 70AD; post destruction (I tend to fall into this camp because of the direct effort to show that sacririce isn't necessary which wouldn't be a concern unless they couldn't sacrifice anymore because Acts reveals that Messianic believers were still fulfilling Temple sacrifices); or actual end times (I think there is parallel meaning here which is very common in much of Hebrew Scriptural texts). And the purpose of the book is to ENCOURAGE. Now let's move to the passage we want to understand. Here's the passage in a little more context--which is VITAL in order to try and understand Hebrews 12:6: Quote:
Proverbs 3:11-12 Quote:
Quote:
which means we have to ask WHY did this author of Hebrews include the word scourge. The simple answer is . . . the translation of this verse comes from the Septuagint. A Greek translation of the OT that had been done long before this book was written. WHY? did they use the Septuagint? Good question--and, again, we don't know. One suggestion is that the author isn't Paul and this is the only verstion of the OT they have been exposed to. Another suggestion is that, Paul or not, the way it's worded in the Septuagint helps them make their point. So let's see what the point is: Quote:

Quote:
The point here is made that our earthly fathers discipline us and we don't stop thinking they love us--and our earthly fathers may use any and all means of discipline. They do what they believe is best. BUT God disciplines us for our good and to make us holy. The author is NOT saying that God spanks us so our earthly fathers need to spank us. The author is also not saying that both earthly fathers and God spank. The author is making the point: we don't doubt our earthly fathers' love for us when we endure discipline; why would we doubt God's love for us when we suffer? God uses our suffering to discipline us. It doesn't suggest it's the only means but it is something God uses! And when we go through horrible suffering for our faith it can be encouraging to know that God is using it to mature us. Quote:
Quote:
Ultimately, this is NOT a passage about parenting, or even about *how* to discipline. It's a passage about how to endure suffering for our faith and stay encouraged. One of the thoughts that I can't help but focus in on when I read and study this passage, because it begins with us being told to consider Jesus and his suffering as a frame of reference for our own . . . Jesus *was* scourged. He was beaten and mangled. And HE is the SON in whom God is well pleased. I agree with the author that if I have not endured suffering for my faith to the point of death like Jesus then I can ONLY make the choice to continue to endure. And, yes, it can be very difficult and frustrating to study Scripture out until we are confident we know what it means Maybe this can encourage you, though . . . Proverbs 8:10-11 Quote:

Re: So what do we do about Hebrews 12:6?
I thought Jesus took our punishment so we didn't have to be punished, too.
