401 | In Whom, in whom, or in Him? | Col 1:14 | Ray | 137365 | ||
Hi Doc Trinsograce, I appreciate your question to me that led me to start this thread. Your time and work is also appreciated. Your search was done in the KJV, and you wrote that you did "not find the Greek word (Strong's G3739) translated as "He" anywhere in the KJV." Of course you realize that a capitalized "He" will not be found in the KJV. And at this stage, I would not see the translation team having a new copyright with every "who" and "whom" capitalized, let alone the "he" and "him" occurances in their KJV. 1) When we look at other versions we see the "In whom" #3739 with "In Him" as the translation. Ephesians 1:7, NKJ, before us being an example. 2) I would encourage you to read my post to Tim in this thread and tell me if that made any sense to you. The idea of oneness is reflected in my mind when looking at the #3739 of Colossians 2:3, "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." I believe that these things have been spoken of and discussed before as evidenced by the variant readings in manuscripts of Colossians 2:2. 3) I have to put my head on a pillow now for I have been struggling with a low grade fever for the past week. I am in a new series of chemo therapy. You might pray for me and I for you, as you have alluded to being busy in school studies. From the heart, Ray |

402 | I need verses that say God is the ONLY 1 | Mal 2:10 | Ray | 137344 | ||
Hi Shelley, The homework should be accomplished now after your list. I believe that your list is all from the NIV? I have a point to make and yet another encouragement to the forum members to study with a version that capitalizes Deity pronouns. In my post, I was telling ineedmajorhelp that God is the one and only God. Yes, there are other gods and lords and idols made with their hands, but there is only one God. The version that you have chosen to quote Isaiah 45:14, "Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god" is at variance with the two that I use that capitalize pronouns of Deity, the NASB and NKJ. Isaiah 45:14, NASN, "Surely, God is with you, and there is none else; No other God." Isaiah 45:14, NKJ, "Surely God is in you, And there is no other; There is no other God." 1) Mark 12:32: This verse tells us again that there is one God and that there is no other. The verse is of interest to me because of the number of pronouns in the various translations. The NASB reads "And the scribes said to Him, "Right, Teacher, You have truly stated that He is One; and there is no one else besides Him." Mark 12:32, NKJ, "So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He." So the versions are expressing either that "He is one God" or that "He is One". In other words, they are expressing the same things in the verse while using a different number of pronouns. 2) Mark 12:29, "Jesus answered, "The foremost is 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;" Mark 12:29, NKJ, "Jesus answered him, "The first of the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.'" Personally, right now I have penciled in my own personal copy as going with the NASB "He is One, and there is no one else besides Him." What do you think? What is Jesus saying in the context of the passage? From the heart, Ray |

403 | In Whom, in whom, or in Him? | Col 1:14 | Ray | 137328 | ||
Hi Tim, All of us are looking forward to many more of your two cents... :-) The "WHO" [Who or who] is a pronoun but sometimes the same pronoun is translated He; is it not? Ephesians 1:11, NASB, "also [marginal note, Lit, in whom] we have obtained an inheritance,..." Ephesians 1:11, NKJ, "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance,..." So the "WHO" can be translated either "Who [Who or who]," or "He [He or he]" depending on capitalization policies of the versions]. 1) Personally, if the "WHO [Who] is chosen in the translation then that is good with me. But, again personally as a counter of pronouns I would find the capitalized Who a distraction in my counting. 2) Expressed another way, I think of "in Him" as speaking of the Person; and "in (w)Whom as speaking of the essence of oneness. If that makes any sense, let me know. From the heart, Ray |

404 | I need verses that say God is the ONLY 1 | Mal 2:10 | Ray | 137310 | ||
P.S. I see now that you requested a plural amount of verses. The Malachi passage goes on and talks of a foreign god in verse eleven. So although there are many gods there is only one God. A passage in that regard is 1 Corinthians 8:4, "...we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, that that there is no God, but one. 5 For even if there are so called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him." I hope that helps. From the heart, Ray |

405 | Who did God create in Genesis 1:27-28? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 137294 | ||
Hi Doc Trinsograce, Good question. I'll start a new thread. Perhaps at Colossians 1:14. From the heart, Ray |

406 | Being in the Beloved? | Col 1:12 | Ray | 137206 | ||
Hi STTIL, Welcome to the forum and I appreciate your thoughts. As one interested in capitalization of each Person of the trinity I would want to talk to you about "Love" and "Body", but I will write later when I am fresher. The thought that "He has delivered us from the power of darkness" and it is "to the praise of the glory of His grace" is a good thought. We are saved by the grace of God and "there we go if not for grace". From the heart, Ray |

407 | Who did God create in Genesis 1:27-28? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 137190 | ||
Hi Doc Trinsograce, I agree with your opinion. I would say further that the first chapter of Genesis tells us about the triune God being involved in creation. The chapter talks about the things that the Spirit of God did and what He said. The chapter has a total of pronouns that is divisible by three. This is noteworthy, I believe. After this introductory first chapter, the second chapter goes on and talks about how the Lord God made earth and heaven and goes on in detail and is more chronological. Is the number of pronouns of Deity in chapter one of signifcance to you? From the heart, Ray |

Hi Lissame, In looking at 1 Chr 16:11 and Pro 8:17 I would have you realize that 1 Chronicles is talking about seeking the Lord, but Proverbs 8:11 is talking about seeking "wisdom". From the heart, Ray |

Hi Tim, I count your Scripture reference of Acts 17:24 as a perfect match in my mind for 2 Cor 4:4. The idea that there is only one God, and that this One made the world and all things in it is what I would hope that people get out of this thread. Acts 17 tells us of an unknown God; yet known to people or not He is the One that we also proclaim. Acts 17:22, NKJ, "Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 "God, [the One] who made the world and everything in it, since He is **Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things." 2 Corinthians 4:3, "And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to thoses who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as **Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness, is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." 1 John 4:4, "You are from God, little children and have overcome them; because greater is He [the One] who is in you than he [the one] who is in the world."

Hi Tim, I feel your pain in losing a post to cyberspace. When I have lost them, I just tell myself that it doesn't hurt to study things over and over and it doesn't hurt to write many drafts of our thoughts. I would like to talk with you about 2 Corinthians 4:6 because that verse tells us that God is the One who shines in our hearts in order for us to know God. I don't know who the "god of this age" is in verse 4, but I do know that it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness. God is not an "it" but He is the One who would not have us blind, but rather be seeing the light. 1) I noticed tonight that 2 Corinthians 4:6 talks of Jesus Christ in the NKJ and of Christ in the NASB. I would have a total of four pronouns of Diety for the verse. What do you think? Do you have the idea that "Jesus" was left out in the NASB because all of these things had been discussed before? 2) Whether one can be blinded or deceived by Satan, the god of this age, a spirit of error, or some false teachers, we must preach the gospel so that the people will come to know the Holy One. For our gospel should lead others to the Lord, the Spirit. 2 Cor 3:17,18. From the heart, Ray |

411 | Smoking oven and Flaming Torch | Gen 15:17 | Ray | 136673 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, I have read McArthur's notes on Genesis 15:17 and see that he speaks of the smoking oven and the burning torch as symbolizing the presence of God. He references Exodus 13:21 (pillar of cloud and pillar of fire) to compare, but I still can not see the smoking oven and burning torch as symbolizing the presence of God. Jeremiah 34:19 has a list of men who are passing between the parts of the sacrifice--"the officials of Juda, and the officials of Jerusalem, the court officers, and the priests, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf--20 and I will give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those who seek their life. And their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth." The contrast in Genesis 15:11 is that Abraham chased the birds of the sky away. Genesis 15:10, "Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, and laid each half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds. 11 And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away." The connection that I see between Genesis (Abraham) and Jeremiah is that God made them a "terror" to all the kingdoms of the earth. And I am not saying that that is a bad thing, for the nations all through the Scriptures saw the power of God in His people. 1) What does this Abrahamic covenant say to me? I am one of Abraham's descendants through faith. Abraham was promised the inheritance and possession of the land. What I look for personally now is the promise of the Spirit/ by faith. (Slashes are mine for comparison). 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." Galatians 3:26, "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ/. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise." Galatians 4:6, "And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit/ of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" From the heart, Ray |

Hi Mommapbs, Another deep subject here for you. You have noted that "it was God alone who walked between the halves". I wonder which verse told you that. A Scripture reference for you to consider would be Jeremiah 34:18,19. The promise of the covenant given to Abraham in Genesis 15:18 I have connected with Galatians 3:17,18, NKJ. From the heart, Ray |

John 15:16, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father is My name, He may give to you." Ephesians 1:11, NKJ, "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory." |

414 | Has God already chosen who he would save | Eph 1:4 | Ray | 136385 | ||
Hi DocTrinsograce, I was just now reading your post and comparing Matthew 22:14 with Romans 8:30. I don't know exactly what your point was in your first paragraph, but it led me to consider the word "called" in these passages. Matthew 22:14 has the idea of "being invited" rather than being called. In other words, "many are invited, but few are chosen." In fact, there is a marginal note in my Study Bible of [Or, invited]. The Study Bible edited by Spiros Zodhiates has it with Strong's #2822. Romans 8:30 with its "called" is Strong's #2564. So just because one is invited does not mean that he/she is called and chosen. The comparison that I got from the passages is that the Pharisees in Matthew seemed to be concerned with the image of Caesar, but Romans would have us predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son. That is the "kind intention which He purposed in Him", Ephesians 1:9. Ephesians 1:10, NKJ, "that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance,..." I hope that adds to the discussion. From the heart, Ray |

415 | "son of God" vs. "son of Man" | Daniel | Ray | 136294 | ||
Hi lookN4luv, I just happened on this post that I did not get to somehow. I wanted to make clear that I am NOT trying to tell you that Jesus was not the Son of Man as He declared and was declared to be. The reference from the book of Numbers says that God is not a son of man. This lower case "son of man" is what Jesus is not. He is the Son of Man, the Son [sic]of God. I also interpret by capitalization the Scriptures as saying that He is the Son of David, the Son of Abraham, Matthew 1:1, NKJ. From the heart, Ray |

416 | Who cried out to God from the grave? | Gen 4:10 | Ray | 136228 | ||
Hi Kalos, Good answer, my friend. I noticed that Study Bible references for that verse include Numbers 35:33, Deut 21:1-9, Heb 12:24, and Rev 6:9,10. I think that Hebrews 12:24 is significant for we have come ... Hebrews 12:23, "...to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. 25 See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking..."

417 | for by grace you have been saved through | Heb 10:26 | Ray | 136224 | ||
Hi Hank, Thank you for the comparison of Ephesians 2:8,9 with Philippians 2:12. Compare also Ephesians 2:10. Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of (God); 9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which **God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." contrast: Philippians 2:11, "and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is (Lord) to the glory of God the Father. 12 So then, my brethren, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only. but much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for God is the **One who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His pleasure." This One is working in us to do His pleasure. What we have to do is hold fast to the word of life (Philippians 2:16) thus receiving the knowledge of the truth (Hebrews 10:26). The hardest part seems to be doing all things without grumbling or disputing. From the heart, Ray |

418 | God has given: What is eternal life? | 1 John 5:11 | Ray | 136104 | ||
Hi BradK, The phrase before the verse that you are presenting here is a good comparison/contrast verse to the ones that I offered. John 10:28, "And **I give eternal life to them..." 1 John 5:11, "And the witness is this, that **God has given us eternal life..." John 17:2, "...**He may give eternal life." Thank you for that Scripture reference. May I offer this comparison also. John 17:3, "And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true (God), and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." 1 John 5:20, "And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, in order that we might know (Him) who is true,..." 1) How much can we equate eternal life with the word of God, the Scriptures? John 6:68, "Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? **You have words of eternal life." From the heart, Ray |

419 | i want to no the truth | John 8:58 | Ray | 136059 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, I hope that no one reading our discussion about these things has the impression that we are arguing. I see us simply delighting in God's (w)Word and discovering how these things relate to our lives. I like your thoughts here. My hypothesis of having three pronouns of Deity are not in your interpretation right now. But (based on the presence of the Life within) I believe that you would go along with this interpretation which would be choice (c) for our discussion. (c) John 1:4, "In Him was Life; and the (Life) was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." 1) I would say that there is great significance in life as well as Life. There is significance in being filled with the spirit as well as being filled by the Spirit. There is significance in going to the strong refuge or rock, when we know the Rock. There is significance in going to the word of God in order to know the Word. 2) What do you think about this verse for considering the importance of (l)Life. John 10:10, "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and have [it] abundantly." From the heart, Ray |
