Dear all,
There were two possible interpretation for Ariel,
"There is some dispute as to if Ariel means Lion of God (the literal translation) or an altar for burning, which is a very similar word in Hebrew (used in passages like Ezekiel 43:15-16). If it is to be understood as an altar for burning, then the idea is that "The fighting and bloodshed around Jerusalem would make the city like a giant place of sacrifice." (Wolf) But, considering the context as a whole, it is best to see Ariel with its literal meaning - Lion of God." [Commentary by David Guzik]
I loved the interpretation of YuTz, "I still called her Ariel", as faithful and persistent love from God to Israel, even after her stumbling fall from her spiritual pride and empty ritualism.

Dear All,
Evil would crouch close to us, and awaited patiently for every possible opportunity to catch us unexpectively. [Ref. Genesis 4:7]
So evil was a fluid status, any one could become evil at any time when he/she succumbed to the temptation from the evil one.
As for God's judgment against the evil ones, we could see three possible judgments:
1. Judgment in this lifespan [Genesis 3:24]
2. Judgment in the interim world [Lu 16:25]
3. Judgment in the afterlife [Rev 20:11-12]

Dear All, Peng An,
Yeah, how to interpret the Old Testament was a serious challenges to all Biblical students.
The literal interpretation would lead to Israelite's claim to possess the absolute and complete ownership over Palestinian lands, no matter what... But if we read the Old Testament carefully, it was clear that the ownership of the Palestinian lands didn't belong to Jewish people absolutely or everlastingly. In reality, they were exiled and expelled from the land for many decades...
Thus personally, I would tend more to interpret this as symbol for spiritual Kingdom of God. Absolute and total commitment to the relationship between God's chosen people and God was the emphasis. Anything which might get entangled and intervene into that relationship would be the cannanites whom should be completely expelled or extinguished.

Dear all,
I believed that among the four different sects of the Judaism world in Jesus' time, Pharisaism was the sect most close to Jesus. The other three sects were: Saducees, Essenes, and Zealots.
So Pharisees were the most religious, engaging, and compassionate group. We might say that Jesus loved the Pharisees the most, thus he critiqued them the most. 愛之深責之切也
Pharisees might still have some shortcomings, such as self-righteousness [lack of healthy self-criticism](Lu 18:11); Seeking public fame (Lu 11:43); Profit-loving (Lu 16:14); Behavior Motivation inconsistency (Lu 11:39); Ritual ethical incongruency (Mt 23:23)etc.
In our paragraph, Jesus was criticizing the Pharisees against their teaching without practicing their own teachings.

Dear All,
Marriage was a very important part of our life, as well as our children's life.
But furthermost, I would say that each one must decide and be responsible for his/her decision concerning marriage.
In Genesis 2:24, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife." The leaving and cleaving was a process in which each one should become independent from his/her parents, and learn to develop the most intimate interpersonal and interdependent relationship with his spouse, whom should be his/her own choice to be the companion of his/her life.
