Concerning Jesus Christ, which version do you go with, the NASB or the Amplified and NKJ? Why? | ||||||
245 | The truth shall set you free? | John 8:35 | Ray | 71733 | ||
King James Version: John 8:35, "And the servant abideth not in the house forever; but the Son [sic] abides forever." In the past I have gone with this version, but am now reconsidering the passage and going with lower case "son". The NASB has "the son" and the NKJ has "a son". What is the difference between a "son" and the "Son"? From the heart, Ray |

246 | "Five words" again? | Dan 8:24 | Ray | 70622 | ||
Daniel 7:18-27 suggests to me "five words" of spiritual power from the Holy Spirit. What is the word I have in mind? From the heart, Ray |

247 | Has the time arrived to believe in Him? | Dan 7:22 | Ray | 70615 | ||
I can't seem to get interested in prophecy and tribulation theories but the thread on Daniel 7:25 sparked an interest in the "Ancient of Days" in Daniel 7:22. At this time of the year when we think of when the Ancient of Days came into the world as a little Child; do you think that the time has arrived for the holy ones, the saints of God, to humble ourselves and enter His kingdom? Is this the proper time to become a member of God's flock? I think that it is. Now, today, is the time to say that we belong to Christ, the Highest One. Daniel 7:21,22, "I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the *holy ones and overpowering them until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was passed in favor of the *holy ones of the Highest One/, and THE TIME ARRIVED when the *holy ones took possession of the kingdom." 1 Peter 5:4, "And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 5 ... clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that He/ may exalt you AT THE PROPER TIME." What I see in these passages is the contrast between us, the ones who belong to God, ones chosen by God, ones called by God, and the Highest One. Daniel 7:9, "I kept looking, until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of (Days) took His seat;..." Daniel 7:13, "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a (Son) of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. And to Him/ was given dominion, glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and men of every language might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and (His) kingdom is one which will not be destroyed." Is it time to humble yourself and become a member of His kingdom?

248 | Should I "count" this one? | John 4:27 | Ray | 69960 | ||
John 4:27, NKJ, "And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?" All of these versions, NASB, Amplified, and NKJ capitalize "You" in this verse. As one who is interested in capitalization and as a person who "counts" pronouns of Deity, I choose to put in lower case, "What do you seek?" Can I get your opinions? From the heart, Ray |

249 | Is this not the Man? Is this not He? | Mark 12:15 | Ray | 69826 | ||
Jesus knew that there was no one like Him. There was no man or woman that He would yield to in courtesy and respect. He would "defer" to no one. Our major translations have only five pronouns for verse 14. But the literal Greek has one that is left out by them. It is in the margin of the NASB Study Bible. [Lit. it is not a concern to You about anyone, i.e. You do not seek anyone's favor] The Pharisees and the Herodians came to Him in order to trap Him in a statement, verse 13; the Sadducces came to Him and questioned Him. In the middle of that Jesus said, "Why are you testing Me?" I believe that Jesus came in the appearance of a Man. This is why the Jewish leaders were questioning Him. But why do we question His Deity? We can't bring anyone forward that was in Christ's likeness either. He was not just a man but He was in the form of God and did not consider it robbery to be equal with Him. So the questions are why, why? Why do you test (Me)? Why do you seek to kill (Me)? Compare these Scriptures. Mark 12:14, NKJ, "When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and [*You] care about no one; for You/ do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth...But He, knowing their hyprocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing (Me)? Bring Me a dinarius that I may see it." John 7:18, "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the *One who sent Him/, [He, NASB] is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill (Me)?" The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?" Note John 7:24.

250 | The second Man is the Lord from heaven? | Heb 13:8 | Ray | 69725 | ||
Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever." This is the same question that I keep asking. Why do believers and non-believers continue to think of Jesus as a man? Why do they continue to think that He had a human nature? |

251 | Whose are you? | John 1:12 | Ray | 69361 | ||
Hi Jeff, I have a question before you put an end to the discussion. I know that you, like Paul, wonder which would be best; to be in heaven or to stay here and witness for your Lord. Whichever is God's will, we are not our own. We are God's possession for Him to do with as He wants; it is not up to us. I was looking at "God's own possesion" today. Whose are you? In who's image are you? Ephesians 1:14, "who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God/'s own possession, to the praise of His glory. For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord (Jesus) which exists among you, and your love for all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;..." 1 Peter 2:9, "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God/'s own posssession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were a people, but now you are a people of (God); you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy." Titus 2:11-14, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God/ and Savior, Christ (Jesus); who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds." Genesis 1:27, "And God created man in His own image, in the image of God/ He created him; male and female He created them. And (God) blessed them;..." Jeff, I don't accept your (.). Talk to us, friend. From the heart, Ray |

253 | Matched pronouns: Truth or truth? | 1 John 3:19 | Ray | 69079 | ||
1 John 3:19 speaks about being of the truth. But it goes on and talks about assuring our hearts before Him. Which do you think is more accurate or appropriate? Would you capitalize Truth since it is talking about Him? Or, would you translate the Greek as "it" talking about truth? From the heart, Ray |

254 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Is 41:18 | Ray | 68565 | ||
Isaiah 41:17,18, NKJ, "The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the (God) of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water." My question comes from comparing these verses with John 7:38,29. In past discussions concerning this verse I have vascillated between several arrangements of capitalization. I would like to settle this before I die.:) I hope that I am getting closer (to settling it). I am still suggesting capitalizing "From His innermost being shall flow rivers of living water." "Let him come to (Me) and drink." Certainly the Isaiah passage would go along with that. I am now leaning toward the Spirit spoken of and the Spirit or "Holy Spirit not yet given" as being properly in lower case. Thus I would think of the living water as being holy spirit. Comments please. From the heart, Ray |

255 | Is the Most (High) is just like you? | John 6:55 | Ray | 68174 | ||
"Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most (High); And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me." But to the wicked God says, "What right have you to to tell of My statues, And to take My/ covenant in your mouth? For you hate discipline, And you cast My words behind you. When you see a thief, you are pleased with him, And you associate with adulterers. You let your mouth loose in evil, And your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother; You slander your own mother's son. These things you have done, and I kept silence; *you thought that (I) was just like you; I will reprove you, and state the case in order before your eyes. Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. He who offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors Me; And to him who orders his way aright I shall show the salvation of God./" Psalm 50:14-23 Are you thankful that you have His flesh to eat? John 6:55 |

256 | holy spirit? Are we heirs of promise? | Heb 6:4 | Ray | 67971 | ||
Hebrews 6:4-8 is being discussed in another thread. I would like to shift some of the discussion to here. It has been pointed out that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not an issue in this passage. The issue here is being partakers and being filled with, tasting, and soaking up the Holy Spirit or as I would say, holy spirit. Can I get a discussion away from thinking of "man" and whether he has faith or works or repentance or backslidden? What can we learn about God here? I hate to tell you, but we will not have any say about whether a person will be allowed into heaven or not. That is up to God and His grace and mercy, and His knowledge and will. So my question is: Does anyone agree with me for the lower case 'holy spirit'? From the heart, Ray |

257 | What about this Son? | John 6:45 | Ray | 67935 | ||
How has this man become learned, having never been educated? John 7:15 | ||||||
258 | Do we worship in ignorance? Acts 17:23 | 2 Chr 15:3 | Ray | 66982 | ||
2 Chronicles 15:3, "And for many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law." John 7:46, NKJ, "The officers answered, "No man [Man?] ever spoke like this Man!" Any comments? |
||||||
259 | The godhead or perhaps the divine? | Acts 17:29 | Ray | 66894 | ||
In my personal copy I do not have the "divine nature" in capital letters. The King James and other versions I have read translate it as the Godhead. Would anyone agree with me in choosing "godhead"? | ||||||
260 | Freewill offerings of the mouth? | Eph 5:8 | Ray | 66490 | ||
I had a pencil in my Study Bible at Ephesians 5:8 for that is where I had been meditating while here on the forum. When a nice e-mail came from Robert Nicholson, it referenced Psalm 119:105 and so I began to compare that passage with Ephesians 5:8. This question can be answered from a comparison of these passages, I believe. Psalm 119:105-112 compared to Ephesians 5:8-20. "What could be thought of as 'freewill offerings' of my mouth?" Psalm 119:108. From the heart, Ray |
