2783 | EXPLAIN HEBREWS 4:12 WHAT DOES IT MEAN? | Heb 4:12 | Ray | 32787 | ||
Hi Curtnsally, If someone is interested in studying Scriptures and interested especially in the capitalization of words I would recommend the use of the NASB or NKJ. I would discourage the use of ALL CAPS which confuse and state nothing in that regard. And as always we compare scriptures to scriptures. So I would suggest you use the NASB for your references. I don't believe that the word should be capitalized for it is continuing the topic of hearing God's voice and knowing His ways and entering His rest. Verse 12 talks about the word of God being a sword much like Ephesians 6:17, "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." When the CAPS are removed we see the helmet, the sword, and the word, and in addition to all, taking up the shield; all lower case. You say "that God's Word in Scripture is the divine revelation of God Himself, and that His Word has power over our lives..." When you capitalized Word you must be talking about the Son in the first phrase and maybe the Spirit and His power was in mind for the second phrase. I can not think of a verse of Scripture that talks about "His Word" for as you know in John it tells us that the Word was God. His word is living and active and as verse four says, we have had the good news preached to us. Hebrews 4:14, "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Makarios, You are right about the importance of the acceptance by the kids of their acrostic. Their own additions to the program have promise of being the best. I realize also that if they have meetings of F.I.R.E. they will also have smoke; that is, Some More Off-the-wall Kooky Events or examples. From the heart, Ray |

2786 | Jesus experienced every kind of trial? | Heb 4:15 | Ray | 68568 | ||
Hi Tim, I like your translation except that I would capitalize High Priest as the NKJ does and "One who" as the NASB does. For me, it does not matter that Christ went through everything that a person would go through here on earth. He certainly did not go through all the sicknesses and trials that we all could go through; but the important thing is that He was the perfect Lamb sacrificed for us. For me, the flesh profits nothing. He came in the likeness of men but He was a Man, even the Son of Man. He came into the world as "God with us", even the Son of God. Hebrews 4:14, "Since then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession." From the heart, Ray |

2787 | Jesus experienced every kind of trial? | Heb 4:15 | Ray | 68826 | ||
Hi Tim Moran, Since you chose the NIV to quote from, may I deduce that capitalization of pronouns denoting Deity is not a top priority for you? I spoke with a pastor friend the other day who studies from the NIV and he assured me that it was my problem if I felt they had to be capitalized. He did not need to have them capitalized to think of them as Deity. But my question is, how important is it to think of Jesus as "one who" knows what we go through here on earth because he came as a man? I know that He came here in the likeness of men and can now sympathize because He was tempted just as we are. But "sympathize with our weakness" is different from "empathize" as I was going to incorrectly type in as the translation just now. He came in the likeness of men but he did not come as a man in order that he could empathize. I believe that it is more important to know Jesus as "the One who" rather than consider him as "the one who". But even if you want to think of Him as both the One and the one, in this verse under consideration we must think of Him as the High Priest to my mind. I took note today that in the King James and the NKJ there is no pronoun for One or one. And the NKJ which capitalizes pronouns of Deity capitalizes High Priest. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Tim Moran, Thanks again for sharing your Greek knowlege with us. May I deduce from your literal translation (whether yours or your choice) that you agree with High Priest for Hebrews 4:15? I agree with that; so we actually would agree with the Amplified over against the NASB printed above. The NASB rendering above agrees with the literal translation offered in Jay P. Green, Sr.'s Interlinear. He shows the implied "one who" that you have mentioned by the use of parenthesis. Green's Interlinear, Hebrews 4:15, "For we do not have a high priest [sic] not being able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but (One) having been tried in all respects according to (our) likeness, apart from sin." Is there any way that we can agree with Green and the NASB here? Could the verse be showing a contrast between a high priest and the One who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, verse 14? I don't think I can; for I think that the writer is holding fast the confession of the High Priest being the Son of God and adding that we have a High Priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses. This High Priest is not like every other high priest taken from among men. Every other high priest "can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset with weakness." The high priest, being a man, can empathize. The High Priest, being a Man, can sympathize with their weakness, being able to come to the aid of those who are tempted. Jesus came in the likeness of men but He was the Son of God, the High Priest. Hebrews 2:17, "Therefore, He had to be like [but only in the likeness of men, as I have said] His brethren in all things, that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest [see NKJ] in things pertaining to (God), to make propitiation for the sins of the people." Parenthesis mine for comparisons below. 1 John 2:2, "and He (Himself) is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world." Hebrews 2:9, "...that by the grace of God (He) might taste death for everyone." I loved studying Hebrews through the years, but it was difficult in many things about this Priest according to the order of Melchizadec. I better stop and ask you if I've made any sense to you.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your reply. Thanks also for typing out the verses for us. Let me type in the KJ also so that I can talk more about the comparisons that I saw and that you also probably saw. John 8:38, "I speak tht which I have seen with my father: and you do that which ye have seen with your father." Here, because they do not capitalize pronouns of Deity the word Father is not capitalized. However, we know that Jesus was not talking about Joseph but rather the heavenly Father. Now, we can suppose that the Jews thought that Jesus was talking about His earthly father, so they bragged that their father was Abraham. John 8:27 says, "They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father." In other words, Jesus previously had said that the Father had sent Him, He was speaking the words of God, He was not of this world, and He was God speaking of Spiritual things. Verse 28, "...but I speak these things as the Father taught Me." God taught the Son. Verse 38, "I speak these things which I have seen with [Or, in the presence of] My Father." The phrase of comparison that I saw is "you also do" in verse 38. They were doing the things of their father the devil. Jesus was claiming to be a Man who was telling them the truth because He was the Truth. He told them that if God was their Father they would love Him. John 8:34, KJ, "Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house forever: but the Son [sic] abideth forever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." The Jews who had believed Him, who abided in His word, were truly His disciples and Jesus said, "You shall become free." John 8:30-33. But these unbelieving Jews were of their father the devil, who was the father of lies. Jesus claimed to be God and they did not believe Him. John 8:46, "Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? He [he] who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God." They they continued to "do the things" of their father the devil by lying and saying, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" John 13:15 has the phrase of comparison and contrast "you also should do". This passage teaches that "the leaders need to be servant hearted" as you have written. It also teaches that the Leader, even Christ, their Teacher, washed their feet, and said "you also ought"... John 13:14, "If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you." The unbelieving Jews who were slaves to sin tried to make themselves above Jesus. They said that they were of Abraham, but Jesus said that He was from God. But even though Jesus came from God He came as a Servant, as one who serves. Hebrews 5:8, "Although He was a Son, (He) learned obedience from the things which He suffered." John 13:16, "Truly, truly, (I) say to you, a slave is not greater than his master; neither is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them." From the heart, Ray |

Hi angel1, My response to Searcher56 stated my thoughts, but perhaps I can make them more clear. Then again, maybe not, eh? :) 1) I wanted to point out the comparison and contrast of John 8:38, "you also do" the works of your father the devil; and John 13:15, "For I gave you an example that 'you also should do' as I did to you." 2) I wanted to express again that I thought that the (Son) does remain forever. John 8:35, KJ, and NKJ in contrast to lower case "son" in NASB. The Son is the Truth that will set you free. I wanted to affirm again that He is a Man who has told the truth. John 8:40 3) This, His word, should be making progress in us. It should have a "place in you". John 8:37. Jesus said "I am He" and He speaks **these things, Jn.8:28 and **the things, verse 38. He speaks the things that He has seen and been taught in the presence of His Father. 4) Your response prompts me to make another comparison of "you also". John 13:14, "If I then, the Lord and Teacher, washed your feet, **you also ought to wash one another's feet." And, John 13:34, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that **you also love one another." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Tim, You said that to equate James 2:19 with John 3:18 is silly. I see them as good companion verses because if you believe in the name of the Son of God you realize that He and God are one. From the heart, Ray |

2793 | Why is "laying on of hands" so important | Heb 6:2 | Ray | 16470 | ||
Hi Listener, I think that this list is what the writer is hoping to "leave" and press on to other things. It's time to go on to maturity, to perfection, to completion. It's time to look at the Messiah now as our Priest. | ||||||
2794 | Hebrews 6:4 | Heb 6:4 | Ray | 14639 | ||
Hi Tim, I think that the "if God permits" of Heb 6:3 would be in the 3rd class as far as CDBJ's explanation is concerned. Maybe we'll go on to maturity and maybe we won't. Maybe He has already chosen us or maybe He hasn't. We don't know what decision He has made, but the bottom line is that it is up to us to be good ground that drinks in all the information that falls our way and so we can bring forth some fruit or vegetation that is useful. Certainly the writer of Hebrews was "convinced of better things" in verse 9; that these people who had heard the word would not forget their work and be diligent to the end. I was interested in your capitalization of the "Word" in Heb 6:5. I believe that the Word can be tasted for I believe that Jesus is the Bread of life. But I wonder if the Greek would suggest this to you. I rather see the tasting of the heavenly gift, and the holy spirit, and the word of God. Later, Ray I was interested in your capitalization of "Word" in |

2795 | holy spirit? Are we heirs of promise? | Heb 6:4 | Ray | 67971 | ||
Hebrews 6:4-8 is being discussed in another thread. I would like to shift some of the discussion to here. It has been pointed out that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not an issue in this passage. The issue here is being partakers and being filled with, tasting, and soaking up the Holy Spirit or as I would say, holy spirit. Can I get a discussion away from thinking of "man" and whether he has faith or works or repentance or backslidden? What can we learn about God here? I hate to tell you, but we will not have any say about whether a person will be allowed into heaven or not. That is up to God and His grace and mercy, and His knowledge and will. So my question is: Does anyone agree with me for the lower case 'holy spirit'? From the heart, Ray |

Hi Scribe, 2 Peter 1:4, "For by these [things] he has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the *divine nature,..." Hebrews 6:4, "...partakers of the *holy spirit..." I welcome any comments you might make to my question concerning this passage. From the heart, Ray |

2797 | holy spirit? Are we heirs of promise? | Heb 6:4 | Ray | 68032 | ||
Hi EdB, Thanks for talking with me. We have different views about the indwelling of Christ and the filling of the *holy *spirit. I don't believe that they are synonymous happenings. I don't believe that everyone who is saved is filled with the Holy Spirit as you do. I believe that every believer that belongs to God has the Spirit of Christ. God's Spirit indwells every believer. Christ is in us. Romans 8:9ff includes Spirit of God, Spirit of Christ, Christ, Spirit of Him who raised Jesus, and His Spirit; all dwelling in us. But I believe that being filled with the holy spirit is something apart from that. You wrote a sentence that mentioned the "holy spirit". Are you open to having that lower case rendering in the Scriptures? If not here, then somewhere else? In my personal copy and in my belief system, all of the occurances of being filled with the holy spirit are rendered in the lower case. That is how I see it. Be blessed. I am doing well, thank you. I must get to sleep now so I can help prepare our house for the big traditional feast here on Thursday. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Quill and forum members, Have disputes raged for hundreds of year because of uncertainty over whether we have been born of the Spirit or of spirit? Hebrews 5:8, NKJ, "And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 9 called by God as High Priest/ "according to the order of Melchizedek," 10 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing." Contrast/compare Galatians 3:2, "This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit/, are you now being perfected by the flesh?" Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ/ lives in me;..."

What differences would we as English speaking/writing persons see between God's Spirit and God's spirit? From the heart, Ray |
