Are these better comparison verses? 1) Galatians 3:6-16, "Even so Abraham believed (God), and 'it was reckoned to him as righteousness'." Galatians 3:29-4:6, "And if you belong to (Christ), then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise." 2) Galatians 3:14, "IN ORDER THAT in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit/ through faith. 15...16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his Seed. He does not say, "And to seeds, as referring to many, but rather to one, "And to your (Seed)," that is, Christ." Galatians 4:5, "IN ORDER THAT He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit/ of His Son into our hearts, crying, "(Abba!) Father!" 3) Galatians 3:29 Galatians 5:6 4)Galatians 3:17 Galatians 4:7 The bold print, parentheses, and slashes are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

142 | How about you?Do you know the Way? | Ezek 18:20 | Ray | 114082 | ||
The movie "The Passion" may give some people feelings of finding fault with the Jews instead of the religious leaders of the Jews. But we all individually have to decide about Jesus the Christ and are individually accountable to the Lord. In comparing Ezekiel 18:14-32 and John 14:4-6 what can we know about the ways of the Lord? From the heart, Ray |

I want to take this opportunity to thank Justme and all of you for your continued prayers for me during these two years of fighting prostate cancer. I have been able to stay around for as long as I had been given hope for, and even now being in a round of chemo therapy am feeling quite well. Thank you all. God is good. Question: In comparing/contrasting Phil 2:1 and Acts 4:31, would you say that we have lost some of the fellowship of the Spirit? Are we even united in spirit? Scriptures: 1 Cor 6:17; 2 Cor 3:18; 1 Peter 2:18; Phil 1:27; 1 John 3:24; Ephesians 4:5 From the heart, Ray |

146 | man or Man? spirit or Spirit? | John 7:39 | Ray | 112772 | ||
I had asked, "How are you relating John 7:38 with the letter of 1 John?" I did not get a response so I began this morning to answer the question for myself. I believe that we have to distinguish between the "Spirit" and the "spirit". We are to test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because there are many false prophets out there in the world. 1 John 4:1 Here is one example of how I relate the John 7 passage with 1 John. 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." John 7:46, NASB, "The officers answered, "Never did a man speak the way this man speaks." I encourage you to test the spirits here. In this case would you not agree with the NKJ for this verse? John 7:46, NKJ, "The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!" From the heart, Ray |

147 | beloved or | Song 5:9 | Ray | 112531 | ||
Song of Solomon 5:9 My question for this verse involves capitalization and also the number of pronouns for the verse. Here is my interpretation for what it is worth, and I would like to get comments. Song of Solomon 5:9, "What kind of Beloved is your Beloved, O most beautiful of women? What is your Beloved more than another beloved, That thus you adjure us?" From the heart, Ray |

148 | Song of Solomon: beloved or Beloved? | Song 5:9 | Ray | 112529 | ||
As a counter of pronouns of Deity, I was content with the only one found in Song of Solomon. 8:6, "Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Shol; Its flashes are flames of fire, The very flame of the Lord." My first question concerns J Preston Eby. Does anyone know who he is? He, according to a personal note in my Bible, has also capitalized "He" in Chapter 3:1-4. That makes a total of 12 which I could also go along with as far as my personal study method is concerned; being divisible by three. 2) My main question is an outcome of listening to J Vernon McGee on the radio this morning, as he is studying the Song of Solomon. He is spiritualizing more of the book than I had considered in the past. Spiritualizing to my mind means capitalizing pronouns. 3) My question for this verse involves capitalization and also the number of pronouns for the verse. Here is my interpretation for what it is worth, and I would like to get comments. Song of Solomon 5:9, "What kind of Beloved is your Beloved, O most beautiful of women? What is your Beloved more than another beloved, That thus you adjure us?" From the heart, Ray |

149 | How can you no? [I mean know] | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 112078 | ||
Tara Bug, How can you know that you can control yourselves? How do you know that you can always say no? How do you know that you can correct a mistake even if it is only for a minute? You can say that you won't have intercorse of course, but that doesn't make it right. |

152 | Word or word? | Luke 8:15 | Ray | 111866 | ||
It is said that Jesus and the Word are synonymous. I would agree if one is talking about the Jesus and the Son. The problem comes when we capitalize the Word of God, the Holy Bible. Then we have a misunderstanding between the Word, Jesus, and the word of God, the Bible. In the verse for this thread we can see the problem by comparing the NASB with the Amplified version. Question: For Luke 8:11 is the parable talking about the Scriptures or about the Son of God? Luke 8:11, "Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God." From the heart, Ray |

154 | The Lord will execute a short work? | Rom 9:28 | Ray | 111014 | ||
In comparing Romans 9:28 with Mark 16:20, what would you say about the difference between "confirming" the word and "executing" the word? Romans 9:28, NKJ, "For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth." Mark 16:20, "And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs which followed." From the heart, Ray |

155 | Do you know Him? | John 14:8 | Ray | 110865 | ||
I have been thinking of Exodus 3 and the name YHWH, and about God saying "I am who I am". Moses was wondering if he would have to tell the people just "who it was that sent him". So this verse and others in the gospel of John came to my mind, and I wonder if we need to be told the Name or whether "it", (being shown the Father), is enough for us. From the heart, Ray John 14:7,8, "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him. 8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." |

156 | Was Jesus a man or a Man? | John 9:37 | Ray | 110788 | ||
We are offered three choices in interpreting this verse. I would like to offer my personal choice and hear your comments and Scriptures. 1) NASB, Amplified, "Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you." 2) NKJ, "And Jesus said to him, "You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you."" 3) HCSB, "Jesus answered, "You have both seen Him and He is the One speaking with you."" I am not familiar with the HCSB, Holman Christian Standard yet, having just purchased the Gospels this past month. However, for this verse I would agree with that version, #3 above. (And yet, I would not agree with the lack of capitalization for John 9:33, for instance). I believe that we can compare/contrast John 9:37 here with John 10:33, NKJ, "The Jews answered Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God." What Scriptures come to mind for you? From the heart, Ray |

157 | The Lord Jesus revealed? | 2 Thess 1:7 | Ray | 110587 | ||
1) The letter of 2 Thessalonians has eleven occurances of the "Lord Jesus Christ" in the NKJ. 2) 2 Thessalonians 1:7, talks about when "the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels. Topic: I believe that it is significant that it could be stated that this is the only verse that does not have "Christ" after the Lord Jesus. I would like to encourage reflection on comparing 2 Thessalonians 1:7 with 2 Thessalonians 2:6 and 7. Are there any thoughts about this comparison? From the heart, Ray |

158 | Are we reclining with Him, in love? | Matt 26:18 | Ray | 110528 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, Good thoughts, t. You asked "Are WE reclining or serving?" Your thoughts bring me to the fact that we can not outgive God. And we love because He first loved us. In regard to "reclining" as found in the Scriptures, seven (or more) other passages could be chosen to be discussed. 1) John 13:12, "And so when He had washed their feet, and taken His/ garments, and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?"" 2) Luke 14:7-15, "And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He/ noticed how they had been picking out the places of honor at the table; saying to them...12 And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him,...15 And when one of those who were reclining at the table with (Him) heard this, he said to Him, "Blessed is everyone who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!"" 3) John 13:23-25, "There was reclining on Jesus' breast one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore gestured to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking." He, [John] leaning back thus at Jesus'/ breast, said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"" 4) Luke 11:37, "Now when He had spoken, a Pharisee asked Him/ to have lunch with him; and He went in, and reclined at the table." See also Luke 11:45,46. 5) Matthew 26:6, "Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it upon His head as He/ reclined at the table." ... 20 Now when evening had come, He/ was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples." 6) Luke 22:14, "And when the hour had come (He) reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him." 7) Mark 16:14, "And afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He/ reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after he had risen." Do we want to discuss any of those? Perhaps the question to ask is also "Are we reclining with Him?" We should not seek to be the ones reclining at the table being served, but rather we should be one with Him in purpose and spirit. From the heart, Ray |

159 | No man ever spoke like this Man, NKJ | John 7:51 | Ray | 110343 | ||
I was meditating on John 7:51 this morning and comparing it with John 14:22. Would you care to offer your thoughts on these passages? From the heart, Ray |

160 | Do we keep His commandments? | Luke 4:4 | Ray | 110324 | ||
The manuscripts that the various versions use have what are considered minor differences. The differences are probably no more "minor" than the differences that searchers for truth have experienced through the ages. Through the ages the Deity of Christ has been focus for the differences in believers. So it is natural that we as believers would like to see the inclusion of Acts 8:37 and 1 John 5:8 for instance in our accepted version. Right now I would like to talk about the minor difference in manuscripts of Luke 4:4. It has been pointed out on the forum that "by every word of God" has been omitted by many versions. As a "counter of pronouns" and one interested in the Deity of Christ, I see this as an important point of discussion (as it evidently was in the past with the copiers of the Scriptures). What can we learn about what the passage is saying about the Son of God by looking at the quote from Deuteronomy 8:3 as found (or not found) in Luke 4:4? Luke 4:4, NKJ, "But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'" From the heart, Ray |
