The words that the NASB translates as “straying” or “astray” in this passage derive from “plané”, which Strong’s Concordance defines as “a wandering; fig: deceit, delusion, error, sin” and Thayer’s Greek Lexicon defines as “a wandering, a straying about, whereby one, led astray from the right way, roams hither and thither”. The parable is basically, Jesus explaining His actions. Cory Asbury could have used a different term, say, selfless, to describe Christ’s sacrificial love.This is almost exactly how the NASB translates it, so my argument remains unchanged.The NASB is certainly a word-for-word style translation, but because it is based on the work of Wescott and Hort, I have long questioned its general reliability (as we’ll see in a moment).They will get a sense that God is willing to do almost anything to have us. And, because novelty is so important in publishing we just have to find something further beyond the pale. In fact it has gotten some well deserved accolades, such as being #1 on the Christian equivalent to Billboard top 40. Of course, Asbury is not writing about God’s omnipresence per se so we should be careful not to conflate the 2 issues here.Not sure if you read the entire review, but I didn’t condemn the entire song. The Pharisees were hypocrites. And what benefit would it be for you to pull out the “God card” at this moment?
I did not mean to offend. But quite subject to humiliation, hunger, lack of sleep, stupid diciples, legalistic pharisees, wicked sadducees, corrupt Roman leaders, unbelieving family members, and he did it all for love.That’s where Ezekiel steps in… and God clearly says He goes out to the ends to find His sheep…. Intentionally spreading his precious blood over the doorframes of our lives.He knew that Jesus would scream, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”\r\n\tWhen it comes to saving and rescuing and redeeming and loving us, God knew EXACTLY what he was getting into.\r\n\tGod knew how much it would cost him to redeem us. I don’t always respond to commentary; However, I read every comment that comes in.The three parables are ALL referring to Jesus not the Pharisees.OK — all the way now; remove all stops. Knowing the depth of the father’s love and blessing. In Matthew he says “If a man…”. The Bible says that God isn’t willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance. You cannot unpack the meaning of a word unless it is in context.


It is not as if good and evil is fighting on equal terms, not at all. The are sympathetic with each other, but entirely apart. An investor who plows money into stocks without any knowledge of the company is reckless and will probably end up bankrupt or owing money to guys who carry baseball bats. Otherwise, it could be claimed that somehow, God was unable to light up every shadow or kick down every wall in certain circumstances.Deffinbaugh takes the issue head on when he writes:As Deffinbaugh points out, the parable is about the Pharisee’s love of things compared to God’s love of people. . Jesus can not have Perfect Love and Reckless love during his life-span in the flesh.Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’Right but read verse 7 which is the point of the whole story the Pharisees didn’t matter they weren’t the point the point was very clear that Jesus will come after us when we get lostAsbury citing the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15 as a scriptural reference point saying:I am glad that you still find my content valuable despite our theological disagreements.

It's amazing how He knows everything and still forgives.I completely understood what you meant when I listened to this song. The saving, redeeming, rescuing love of God truly is unfathomable and oceanic. The shepherd who left his sheep for the lost one might have well thought out the consequences and still left the fold for the lost one because his love for the lost one was so strong.Furthermore, Jesus does clearly state that the shepherd loses the sheep, but He never says that this was due to recklessness. But to the world; i.e., outsiders, He “appears” foolish and weak.The Pharisees to whom Jesus was telling the lost sheep parable knew that Jesus was telling them that THEY were the careless shepherd in his story.I think we need to be careful when we try to creatively use words to describe the nature of God. YES. Which I was already convinced of, but this has reinforced it. Sin is NOT an attribute of humanity, it is only an attribute to fallen humanity. I agree that the word is a poor choice because the connotation implies that God is careless.
