1 | Stone or stone? Him or it? | 2 Cor 4:1 | Ray | 138894 | ||
1 Peter 2:6 quotes Isaiah 28:16, "Therefore thus say the Lord God, 'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in [it] will not be disturbed.'" The marginal note in the NASB has for the word disturbed [Lit. in a hurry]. The NKJ for the last sentence reads, "...Whoever believes will not act hastily." Question: The Greek for 1 Peter 2:6 has the word "kataischuno", Strong's #2617, from 2596 and 153; to put to shame, to disgrace. Are disbelievers ashamed of "it" or "Him"? Are they disobedient to the "word" or to the "Word"? From the heart, Ray |

2 | Stone or stone? Him or it? | 2 Cor 4:1 | DC_160 | 138895 | ||
No, they aren't Because in order to be "ashamed" you Must know Him However Because according to 2 Corinthians 4:4 "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." The Unbeleivers don't Know Christ, therefore can't be ashamed. From the Word, Daniel |

Hi Daniel, Thank you for the Scripture. In your answer you infer that we can be ashamed of Christ. I can think of no time when people were ashamed of Christ. The Scriptures speak of not being ashamed of the gospel, but can unbelievers or believers be ashamed of Christ? 1 Peter 2:6 speaks of "he who believes shall not be disappointed" [ashamed]. So the being putting to shame would be on us. The one who believes will not be in a hurry, will not be disturbed, will not be disappointed, will not be confounded. I was trying to get a choice from you of "it" or "Him", but now disregarding that choice, let's look at the One who laid in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner-stone. John 2:19, "Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 The Jews therefore said, "It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?" 21 But He was speaking of the temple of His body. 22 When therefore He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that **He said this; and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had spoken." 1 Peter 2:6, "For this is contained in Scripture: 'Behold **I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone, And he who believes [in it/Him] shall not be disappointed.'" Would you agree with the above interpretation? From the heart, Ray |
