201 | 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 |

202 | Bread: Is it the spirit that gives life? | John 6:61 | Ray | 122288 | ||
As a counter of pronouns of Deity and a person who capitalizes words of Deity, and also as one who loves the NASB and regards it as a good literal translation, I have this question. For John 6:61 the NASB has only two pronouns. The NKJ and the three Interlinears available to me have four pronouns. I believe that this verse should be reconsidered by the Lockman Foundation. I believe that it is a key verse in interpretting verse 63 and understanding the statement of Jesus in John 6:48. There to my mind he was saying, "I am the Bread of life." This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it? From the heart, Ray |

203 | 8 words of Deity in John 6:61-63: yes? | John 6:61 | Ray | 122340 | ||
Hi Tim, I envy you your knowledge of the languages and of English grammar. You are right of course about the number of pronouns; and I believe that there is the number seven of "He said" that is inferred depending on the phrasing in translation. What I "count" are the pronouns of Deity along with the nouns of Deity. So personally I count (with the "He said") four words (nouns and pronouns) that refer to Deity for verse 61. 1) Can you offer any suggestion of why the NASB chose not to include "in Himself" in their translation? 2) After the Son of Man ascends from where He was before, "who" or "what" gives life? The flesh profits nothing. Is it the Spirit or the spirit that gives life? 3) Is Jesus the Bread or the bread of life? How can this (m)Man give us His flesh to eat? From the heart, Ray |

204 | It is the (s)Spirit that gives life?Both | John 6:63 | Ray | 150405 | ||
Hi Aixen7Z4, It has been nearly a year since you introduced your post. Can I get comments from you on comparing John 6:63 and John 11:25 with the idea of looking at "It is the *spirit that gives life?" John 6:63, "...the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life." John 11:25, "...I am the resurrection and the life." From the heart, Ray |

205 | Did Jesus do anything in secret? | John 7:4 | Ray | 109060 | ||
How much do you think Jesus did in secret? How, why, and when did He hide His Deity? Do you think that He is hiding His Deity in this very verse? From the heart, Ray |

206 | A Greek study of houtos:Who is this One? | John 7:18 | Ray | 61160 | ||
I would like to talk about the Greek word "houtos", number 3778 in Strong's Concordance. Perhaps I can get some people to get out their Interlinear Greek versions for a discussion. What can we learn about "this One" who is true? Is this a proof text for the doctrine of the fact that Jesus is fully God and fully Man? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
207 | 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 |
||||||
208 | Filled with His words? | John 7:39 | Ray | 150776 | ||
Reference #33761. Can I get some comments on my views expressed on this thread about McArthur's notes? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
209 | Son of Abraham, David, Joseph? | John 7:46 | Ray | 34941 | ||
Does the offspring from the descendants of David, this Son of David, need to be thought of as a man? Which translation/interpretation do you like best? NASB John 7:46, "The officers answered, "Never has a man spoken the way this man speaks." Amplified John 7:46, "The attendants replied, Never has a man talked as this Man talks! [No mere man has ever spoken as He speaks!] NKJ John 7:46, "The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this Man!" Again, the question is, is it necessary to think of Jesus as a man or should we only think of Him as the God/Man. |
||||||
210 | Never did a Man speak...? | John 7:46 | Ray | 141870 | ||
I am revisiting this verse. I have been asking of people whether Jesus has to be thought of as being a "man" [sic]. I like the way that the NKJ and Amplified versions show that there is a difference between a mere man and this Man. Yet, I wonder if there might be yet another interpretation of this verse using capitalization. What are your views on this rendering? John 7:46, The officers answered, "Never did a Man [sic] speak the way this Man speaks." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
211 | 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 |
||||||
212 | How we judge the Man? | John 7:51 | Ray | 141835 | ||
This question is an outgrowth of a thread with Makarios nearly three years ago on John 7:38 and a thread with Rowdy almost one year ago concerning John 7:51. 1) Does living water flow from OUR innermost beings? Or does John 7:38 speak of the Spirit? 2) Is verse 51 dealing with the Man Jesus? What would you say about my interpretation of verse 51 as being, "Our Law does not judge a Man, unless it first hears from Him and knows what He is doing, does it?" From the heart, Ray |
||||||
213 | Search and see that...? | John 7:52 | Ray | 84409 | ||
Can anything be learned by comparing/contrasting John 5:7 and 2 Kings 10:23 and Deuteronomy 4:29? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
214 | 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 |
||||||
215 | Man or man? | John 8:40 | Ray | 71756 | ||
Concerning Jesus Christ, which version do you go with, the NASB or the Amplified and NKJ? Why? | ||||||
216 | Is He your God? | John 8:54 | Ray | 93639 | ||
I was comparing Psalm 41:14 with John 8:54 today. It made me want the wicked to be put to shame, and the lying lips to be dumb. Psalm 31:18. It made me realize anew just how much Jesus was dishonored and lied against and how the Jews had schemed to take away His life. Psalm 31:14, "But as for me, I trust in Thee, O (Lord), I say, "Thou art my God." 15 My times are in Thy hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me." John 8:54, "Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; It is My (Father) who glorifies Me, of whom you say 'He is our God';" Is He your God? What do you say about Him since He has opened your eyes? John 9:17. |
||||||
217 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | Ray | 54958 | ||
NKJ, John 9:24, "So they again called the man who was blind, and said to him, "Give God the glory! We know that this Man is a sinner." 1 Peter 2:21, "...leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH." When comparing these verses, why would someone still say today that Jesus was just a man? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
218 | 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 |
||||||
219 | The Lord is my Shepherd? | John 10:14 | Ray | 88422 | ||
This question is posed after considering Psalm 23 and John 10:14 and after reading #88387. Is Jesus the Good Shepherd or the good shepherd? Is He our Owner or does He own us? When considering John 10:6, do you think we are any closer to understanding the things of God? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
220 | Lay down my life? Am I a shepherd? | John 10:17 | Ray | 83566 | ||
What can we learn by comparing/contrasting John 10:17 and John 15:13? | ||||||
