221 | Benny Hinn not far off base here? | John 10:27 | Ray | 7866 | ||
I see some interest on the forum concerning Benny Hinn's quote about the Trinity having what I would call "nine pronouns involved." Can I revive an interest in a question of mine about the seventeenth chapter of the gospel of John? I submit to you that the pronouns in the chapter can be divided by three, and the prayer itself has a total pronoun count of Deity that is divisible by nine. | ||||||
222 | Living (g)Godly lives? | John 10:34 | Ray | 127537 | ||
Hi Emmaus, Songbirdca mentioned being humble and being godly. You mention living Godly lives. What is the best interpretation of this word? The divine power and the divine nature of 2 Peter 3-4 has been discussed in the forum. From the heart, Ray |
||||||
223 | US go... even we, the disciples? | John 11:6 | Ray | 121547 | ||
See #8339 for reference. 1) Did the disciples follow Jesus and see the resurrection of His friend Lazarus? 2) Would we go, even we THE disciples, if it meant death to follow Him? See also John 18:17, 25. 3) Should we see the Light of the world in this passage? John 11:9 From the heart, Ray |
||||||
224 | Confessing faith in the Light? | John 12:42 | Ray | 148892 | ||
This is a Greek scholar/student question: For John 12:42, where it is translated, "they were not confessing [Him]," how much is the pronoun implied? Could it also be translated, "they were not confessing their belief", or "confessing their faith?" From the heart, Ray |
||||||
225 | Whose baptism? | John 13:6 | Ray | 37431 | ||
What are your thoughts about these baptisms? How do they compare? John 13:6 and Mark 10:38 John 13:6, "And so He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do (You) wash my feet?" Mark 10:38, "But Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which (I) am baptized?" |
||||||
226 | 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." |
||||||
227 | Do we receive *holy *spirit as a gift? | John 14:26 | Ray | 130095 | ||
In considering Romans 5:5, in my personal copy I have penciled in a lower case "holy spirit". I do this because I think of the holy spirit as the gift of God which is given to us. I compare the verse with Acts 11:16, "And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the *holy *spirit'. 17 If God therefore gave to them the same gift as He gave to us..." I would like some comments from the forum members as I continue to consider the gift of "holy spirit". From the heart, Ray |

228 | Question for Jehovah's Witness friend | John 14:28 | Ray | 124146 | ||
We on this forum do not make Jesus greater than the Father. We have only said that Jesus humbled Himself and came to earth in the likeness of men, yet being God. In comparing Luke 14:7-24 and Matthew 22:1-22, who is "giving" the wedding feast? In the Kingdom Hall of heaven who will fill that wedding hall? What will be required of the guests? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
229 | Things of... | John 16:15 | Ray | 133971 | ||
What is the "thing of Me" or the "what is Mine" that Jesus is speaking of? What is the "it" that will be disclosed? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
230 | Do we now know that...? | John 16:30 | Ray | 86185 | ||
We have already discussed John 9:24 on the forum, but I was comparing that verse with John 16:30 today in my reading. "We know that" is important to this book and his other letters. 1 John 3:5, "And you KNOW THAT He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin." I believe that the Greek includes one more pronoun; in order "that our sins He might take away". Can there be any doubt that this Man was not a sinner? Why does the Amplified feel it necessary to say that "Because of this we believe that you [sic] [really] came from God."? If He really came from God lets say with John 16:30, NASB, "by this we believe that You came from God." John 16:27, "for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
231 | Word of Truth or word of truth? (#78193) | John 17:14 | Ray | 80162 | ||
John 17:14-20. These verses contain three occurances of "truth" and three occurances of "word". How many of these occurances do you see as Deity rather than simply the word of God? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
232 | Omit or not?To raise up the Messiah? | Acts 2:30 | Ray | 142816 | ||
This is a verse that has a variance in the manuscripts. This explains the difference in the number of words of Deity in the verse for the translations. The all caps in the NASB quote of Psalm 132:11 makes it a little more difficult, but I would say that the NASB has one noun of "God had sworn". The Amplified has that one noun of God and the pronoun of "He would set one of his descendants on his throne". The NKJ has two nouns and one pronoun; God, Christ, and He. The NU Text omits the Greek phrase, "according to the flesh, to raise up the Messiah." The NU Text, I believe, is what the NASB uses. In this case, I would insert the phrase into the verse (as if anyone cared what I would do). So here is my interpretation for what it is worth. Acts 2:30, "And so, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat [one] of his descendants on his throne, according to the flesh,---to raise up the Messiah--- 31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ..." Question: Why do you suppose that the copiers did not agree on this verse? What were the people discussing or debating would you think? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
233 | Is this about water baptism at all? | Acts 2:38 | Ray | 77292 | ||
Are there any people that do not see baptism as an issue for Acts 2:38? Personally, I do not see water baptism mentioned in the passage. From the heart, Ray |
||||||
234 | Spirit and/or spirit? | Acts 2:38 | Ray | 79422 | ||
Hi disciplerami, You have written that it (the indwelling spirit) is given to those who obey Him (Acts 5:32). Sniper in post #79351 has said, "...the indwelling Holy Spirit is received when a person is baptized." Can we talk about the spirit and the Spirit in relation to 1 Peter 3:18-4:6? How does "your good behavior in Christ" (1 Peter 3:16) relate to "it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness (Matthew 3:15)? Perhaps we can start a new thread there? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
235 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit? What is it? | Acts 4:24 | Ray | 140056 | ||
Acts 4:24, NASB says "Lord, it is You who" and the NKJ says, "Lord, You are God, who". Acts 4:25 differs also between the NASB and NKJ because the NU text includes the words "who by the Holy Spirit". Two questions: Is the Lord an it? Could there be a holy spirit? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
236 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit? | Acts 5:32 | Ray | 63847 | ||
The manuscripts differ for this verse. This can be seen by the added *pronoun in the NKJ and KJV. NKJ, Acts 5:32, "And we are *His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." My question is two-fold. 1) Do you agree with the KJ and NKJ? 2) Is the other witness the Holy Spirit whom God has given; or is the other witness the holy spirit which God has given? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
237 | (p)Power(p)Promise(w)Word(s)Spirit? | Acts 8:10 | Ray | 129346 | ||
A scripture reference would be Acts 1:8. What is the "great power" that we should receive? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
238 | Who or what is the "gift of God" | Acts 8:20 | Ray | 13869 | ||
Consider with me "the gift of God". I am comparing Acts 8:20 with John 4:10. What is the gift of God? An ability to lay on hands or receive living water? Or is the gift Himself? |
||||||
239 | angel or Spirit? | Acts 8:39 | Ray | 52693 | ||
Hi lialia 1212 and Searcher 56, I wanted to ask the forum if they capitalized the Spirit in Acts 8:39. Let me use your comments to show why I ask. Lialia says,"Why Lord caught away Philip?" And Searcher says "we do not know why God spirited Philip away." So my question is, "Is it the Lord or is it the angel who snatched Philip away?" Based on Acts 8:26 and 29, I believe that that the angel is involved. Thus, I would go more with the idea that God spirited him away. Other passages to consider would be the seven occurrances of Spirit (or,spirit) lifting up in the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel 3:12, 14; 8:3; 11:1, 24, 24; 43:5. What do you think? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
240 | The purposes of God? | Acts 13:36 | Ray | 73599 | ||
I was looking at the "purpose of God" and comparing Scriptures this morning. I have this question for our Greek students today. It concerns the translated words "He Himself"; for instance John 2:25 and John 6:66. The NASB has He Himself for both verses and the NKJ has it rendered that way only for John 6:6. Are there any rules or guidelines that can help us to be consistent in this translating? Personally, I would leave off the "Himself". John 6:6, "And this He was saying to test him; for He/ knew what He was intending to do." John 2:25, "and because He/ did not need anyone to bear witness concerning man for He knew what was in man." Zechariah 8:14, "For thus says the Lord/ of hosts, 'Just as I PURPOSED to do harm to you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath,'..." John 1:43, "The next day He PURPOSED to go forth into Galilee,..." He/ knew what He was intending to do and the purposes of God will be accomplished. From the heart, Ray |
