1 | water to wine? | John 2:1 | stjohn | 205513 | ||
Hi Tamara: I don't disagree with the gist of what you're saying at all, but I personally don't see the use of "ma'am" in todays language as "necessarily" a way of distancing, but rather like "sir" is used as a show of respect. I suppose too, that it would depend entirely on the, tone, used, which is rather difficult to discern from the written word. Anyway, no matter. Just two cents: Sharing not arguing; I just thought sense I had, two cents, I'd pass some of it along. Very astute observation on Jesus' seeing Nathanael and knowing his thoughts! Who but God could do this? IMHO it was indeed a miraculous act, though not usually recognized as His first. Hmmm? Does make one wonder why so many have missed that! God bless John |

2 | water to wine? | John 2:1 | Val | 205517 | ||
Dear John, Do you think knowing what other people were thinking is considered a miracle. I remember that the Lord always knew what people had in their hearts. He said this about the religious leaders. Wasn't that part of Him being fully God that He knew people's hearts? Blessings, Val |

3 | water to wine? | John 2:1 | Tamara Brewington | 205518 | ||
Dear Val, I like your thinking there Val! You got me to thinking about what you are saying and asking here a bit. Jesus was fully God and fully man. Maybe every supernatural act He did from knowing what people thought to making wine was a miracle He was doing as fully God, while remaining fully human? Hope you don't mind I answered your note to John, it was just so profound what you said! God's Day To You, Tamara |

Hi Tam: Thanks, but I'd be hard put to think myself profound! lets take it a little farther for the sake of carrying this line of thought to it's furthest-:: What was Jesus' first miracle? Look at Gen 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." And the fact that, He spoke it all into existence, thus personifying Him; fully God and fully man. And compare to, John 1:1 | ||||||

Dear John, First of dear heart my brain is on bonk because I thought sure as sure I was repplying to Val!? oops my bad...:))))) Yup you are absolutely right about that John absolutely! Sometimes the simplest things become profound to those of us how divide a scripture until the whole thing is laying on the floor in pieces John! Oh I am laughing at myself again, I never take myself very seriously lest I actually think I have gotten somewheres..... Jesus whole existence is full of beginnings, isn't it? Genesis, pre Genesis, John 1, 2, 20, Acts 1, a whole lot more of em too I guess... Yeah I got to scratchin my head over MacArthur's use of a modern word and concept to describe a first century setting, kinda strange of him don't you think? I think you are dead on about that point there. Okay John so we won't call you profound, we will reserve that title for wonderful Val, okay? We will go back to calling you loquasious and eloquent in speech, how's that? By His Infinite Grace, Tamara |

Hi Tam: First off, you did send it to Val. I just jumped in cause there was a note to me, and besides this is a public forum so, anyone can answer anyone anytime they like. :-) Your brain is working fine! lol I'm gonna say I'd have to agree with you initially on all count's. I'm gonna reflect on for now though. Latter my Friend. John |
