A "Forward" Glimpse Into The Future?

No biggie, as far as I am concerned.

The harlot sinned in a brothel, man's home, hillside. You pick. The adulterer sinned in a brothel, his or her home, hillside. You pick.

Sin is a state of condition. Sin is in the heart. Unbelief is sin. He went to where the sinner was. Sinners sinned in their homes. He went to where sinners were. Sinners sinned the the synagogues. He went to where they were. The bible never stated where Jesus DID NOT GO.

Didn't the Lord say He did what He did for Isreal for His "name's sake"? If they couldn't protect His honor, He'd do it Himself. They couldn't.

No.

Name of God speaks of his abundant quality. Reputation is only in the mind of the one that perceives that quality. On a larger scale, if you want to say that God wants to be know for who and what he is, that is a given. But to go about and seek and defend a reputation for himself in the sense that you say that Jesus did, I do not agree.

He became flesh and that man went about glorifying His Father. When He glorified His Father, was He not protecting His Father's name, thus His reputation as THE Almighty God of Isreal?

No. Not in the sense that men go about trying to build a reputation for themselves and then seek to protect it. Preaching the gospel, in the broader sense, is establishing a reputation. If God never went into a bar, a harlot's house, even in hell itself, David could not have claimed that there is nowhere that he could go that He was not there...even into hell..."Lo, thou art there."

Further see my answer above concerning His name.

Anyway, this discussion has gone far afield than I care to pursue.
