Money Answereth All Things. by Perfectbeing(m): 11:44am On Nov 19, 2019 |
Eccl 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things Does money answer all things? Was that what this verse says? As a rule of Bible interpretation, you must never take the word ALL literarily and give it an omnibus application All things cannot be all things but must be seen in the context of all that is stated in the text So let's look at our text again What are the all things that money answers? A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry or cheerful He said if you want to have laughter you could have a feast and you'll have laughter And if you want to be merry, wine can give you that And that money answers both. That is, money will give you a feast for laughter and wine for merriment So the all things that money will answer are A FEAST , LAUGHTER , WINE and MERRIMENT Notice that 'things' is actually italicised in the text. Meaning it was never there in the first place. Hence the original text actually states A FEAST IS MADE FOR LAUGHTER , AND WINE MAKETH MERRY : BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THESE This would have been a much better translation. So money doesn't answer all things A stroll down the nearest hospital will confirm that. There are rich folks there whose money has become useless in healing them. So always endeavour to read in context. 2 Likes |
