261 | Omit or not?To raise up the Messiah? | Acts 2:30 | Ray | 143341 | ||
Hi Mommapbs, Thank you for your thoughts and for your prayers for the nation of Israel. Acts 2:36, "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him/ both Lord and Christ--this (Jesus) whom you crucified." Acts 4:2, "being greatly disturbed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead....8 Then Peter, filled with the (h)Holy (s)Spirit, said to them,...10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus/Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, who God raised from the dead--by this name this man stands here before you in good health. 11 (He) is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the very corner stone. 12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved." So this would be my prayer and interpretation for the nation of Israel. Acts 3:19, "Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be wiped away in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And that He/ may send Jesus Christ, the (One) appointed for you, 21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time." From the heart, Ray |

262 | Nouns and pronouns divisible by 3? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 143296 | ||
Hi Searcher, Do you think that sometimes God hides Himself? Do you think that it is wrong to seek Him? Would you see the words of God rightly-divided in any other way? From the heart, Ray |

Hi Tim, The "Truth" was the word and name that I had in mind. We want to be walking in Him. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Doc, #131315 was what I was looking for in order to get some more of your thoughts. I think that we need to know and confess that Jesus is Lord. I appreciated your Scriptures in that prior post, #131315. From the heart, Ray |

265 | Does God judge nations directly? | Obad 1:2 | Ray | 143270 | ||
Hi Reighnskye, I would say that God's word [sic] is an equivalent expression of God's name [sic]. From the heart, Ray |

266 | How important is God's Name? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 143250 | ||
Hi Doc, Do you know the reference number for the post that you are referring to? The Hebrew word "Shem" is "shame". So there is a definite play on words in Zephaniah 3:19, "And I will turn their shame into praise and renown In all the earth." The word "name" means praise and fame, also renown. The NKJ for Zephaniah 3:19 reads, "...I will appoint them for praise and fame In every land where they were put to shame." Here we have the idea of being "called" or "appointed". He gathers us together and gives us fame and praise instead of shame. It should give us impetus to carry the name of Christian and give praise to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Psalm 79:9, "Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for (Thy) name's sake." Zephaniah 3:15, NKJ, "The Lord has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the (Lord), is in your midst;..." 1) Al Novak in his book "Hebrew Honey" has this to say: NAME: "Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name; and deliver us and purge our sins, for Thy name's sake'", (Ps. 79:9). Shem means: A sign, a mark which one receives. The name of Jehovah was set by divine authority--Jer. 11:21; 26:9. Renown--Gen. 11:4. While here the attempt at renown was foiled and properly so, God's renown is everywhere hailed and justified. Praise and fame--Zeph. 3:19. This Hebrew word is so used here as to carry the idea of fame and praise. This is good use of it in connection with God. Monument--Isa. 55:13. An impressive and glorious color is seen in the word as used in this passage. This is due God and much more. End of quote. I trust that that was of interest to you. From the heart, Ray |

267 | How important is God's Name? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 143230 | ||
Hi Tim, Worthy of God describes how they should be sent and on behalf of His name they went out. That makes sense to me. 1) It is interesting that Doc Trinsograce has told us about how the ancient people hid their names. What is the name that is hidden in 3 John would you think? From the heart, Ray |

268 | How important is God's Name? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 143226 | ||
Hi Tim, It is found in the text which the NKJ uses, which I believe is a TR text. It is in my copy of Green's Interlinear by Baker book house. From the heart, Ray |

269 | How important is God's Name? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 143222 | ||
Hi Doc, I would go with the NKJ with its "His name's sake". I don't think that we would be able to nor should we question every occurance of "name" in the Scriptures. The question before us of "How important is God's Name?" is actually one of asking the importance of God's authority. Matthew 12:24 comes to mind where the Pharisees saw Jesus as casting out demons in the name and authority of Beelzebul. However, verse 21 has told us that "And in His name the Gentiles will hope."

Hi Doc, HisEmpress has written in the question here about "His Precious Name". You have said, "Now, I'm not suggesting that there is anything mystical in a name." My thought would be "Are we placing applying Deity to a passage that we should not be?" What is the verse that we should consider for having "power in His Precious Name?" The verse that comes to my mind for "Name" is 3 John 1:7, NASB, "For they went out for the same of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles." Or 3 John 1:7, NKJ, "because they went forth for His name's sake, taking nothing from the Gentiles." I would surmise from what you have said that you would go with the NKJ in this case. What is the Name that 3 John is putting forth? From the heart, Ray |

272 | The ways of life and truth? Acts 2:28 | John 5:32 | Ray | 143164 | ||
Hi lionheart, I am glad that that helped you. I believe that you can see the third Person, the third One when you compare those Scriptures with John 16:12-14. John 16:12, "**I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 But when *He the Spirit/ of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth;..." Compare/contrast these Scriptures. John 16:14, "**He shall glorify *Me; for He/ shall take of Mine, and shall disclose [it] to you." John 17:4, "**I glorified *Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou/ hast given Me to do." John 17:22, "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as **We are one; 23 *I in them and You/ in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that..." Because of this prayer of Jesus we can continually know (verse 23) and continually believe (verse 21) that the Father sent Him. We behold the glory of God in the three Persons. From the heart, Ray |

273 | The ways of life and truth? Acts 2:28 | John 5:32 | Ray | 143136 | ||
Hi lionheart, This word "Godly" is a challenge sometimes for translation and interpretation. I usually use a lower case "godly". The godly testimony that John the baptist gave was his witness to the truth. However, Jesus says in verse 34 that the witness that He receives is not from man. Verse 32, "There is Another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the testimony which He bears of Me is true." Notice the testimony that He bears. This "He" refers to the "Another". So I would go with the interpretation of the Amplified, see above, with its upper case Another. 1) Ezekiel 34:31, "As for you, My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, you are men, and **I am your *God," declares the Lord/God." This is the declaration of the Lord/God and the God/Man to my mind. John 5:18, "...making **Himself equal with *God." John 10:33, "...and because **You, being a *Man, make Yourself/ out to be God." John 5:38, Green's Literal Translation, "And you do not have His Word abiding in you, for (the One) whom that One sent, this One you do not believe." So to my mind, if we have **His word abiding in us and *Him [Green's (this One)] we believe. From the heart, Ray |

274 | Explain share in the glory of our Lord | 2 Thess 2:14 | Ray | 143035 | ||
Hi Greentwiga, You wrote of "the joy of his coming". As one who looks at capitalization, I would say that we should look for His [sic] coming. I have been considering John 5 today, and I would compare this 2 Thess 2:8 and (His) coming in judgment with John 5:30, "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and (My) judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me,---the Father." It is when we do the will of the Father --as sons-- that we can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus did not receive the glory of men per John 5:41. They were not willing to come to Him to have life. They did not love God. He came in His Father's authority and they did not receive Him. My point is that people receive other men when they come in their own name and they receive honor or fame and they relate to one another. But Jesus came in the likeness of men, but was God in the flesh, the Son of God. We as believers are children of God. BTW, I would welcome any comments to my John 5:32 thread. From the heart, Ray |

275 | Mahershalalhashbaz | Is 8:3 | Ray | 142891 | ||
Hi Country Girl, The word Maher-shalal-hash-baz means "Swift is the booty, speedy is the prey" and verse 4 tells us that "before the boy knows how to cry out 'My father' or 'My mother, the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away before the king of Assyria." So the prophecy of this "boy" has a speedy fulfillment. But the important prophecy is of the "Boy", the Child, (see NKJ, Isaiah 7:16) Immanuel, God with us. Isaiah 9:6, NKJ, "For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." 1) The idea of the difference between a boy and the Boy or a man and the Man is shown in Isaiah 8:1 where the meaning of the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz is written with the stylus of man. The NKJ reads, "Moreover the Lord said to me, "Take a large scroll, and write on it with a man's pen concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz." The NASB in comparison to "a man's pen" reads "in ordinary letters". To my mind, this suggests that this "boy" is in lower case letters. This is in contrast to the way that the Lord spoke to him further about the waters and how they "will fill the breadth of **Your land, O Immanuel...10 For God is with us." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Makarios, You caught my mistake there brother. I need to remember those nouns; for I am more concerned about the pronouns that are not always capitalized and noted. I was also a little confusing in my post in that I included part of verse 26. I was hoping that you would agree with the answer of 2 nouns and only 2 pronouns for verse 25. From the heart, Ray |

277 | Diff filling vs receiveing the Spirit? | 1 Cor 13:8 | Ray | 142721 | ||
Hi Tim, Thanks for the time spent on these posts. I believe that the subject is worth spending the time on. I want to make clear again that I believe that the Holy Spirit is a Person of the Godhead. So I am not looking for further proof of that fact by using these verses. What I am looking for from you is proof that there is no "holy spirit". Are there any verses here that are comparable to Acts 5:3,4? I believe that that is still a good question. I see no reason to believe that a lower case holy spirit, power from above, could not be a viable choice for these verses. A "holy spirit" fits well. 1) E.W. Bullinger in his book "Word Studies on the Holy Spirit" differentiates between the Giver and the gift. I am in agreement with him on that point. He says that the definite article is pivotal in differentiating between the Holy Spirit and the holy spirit. In that regard, I do not agree with him. I have agreed with you, Tim in the past when you said that it was more a matter of personal choice and literary style; that translators chose to include the article "the", or add the article depending on their own whims. Personally, I do not think that it is important whether there is an article or not. My concern is that there is consistency. I believe that the holy spirit can be consistently used in the lower case for these verses of "being filled with the holy spirit" and "receiving the holy spirit". 2) There are no verses here that are comparable to Acts 5:3 and 4 where the Holy Spirit is called God. However, there are verses that are similar in talking in context of the word of God, the gospel, preaching Jesus, hearing the word, power in preaching, speaking in tongues, speaking of the mighty deeds of God. That is what receiving the word of God and being filled with holy spirit is all about. Hebrews 6:4 talks about having tasted the heavenly gift, being partakers of the holy spirit, and of having tasted of the good word of God. 2 Peter 1:3-10 talks of His divine power, and how we have a full knowledge of Him and how He called us. We can be more certain of His calling and choosing us as we become partakers of the divine nature (partakers of the holy spirit and the good word of God) and more aware of His promises and gifts.

Hi jcsav, Thank you for these Scriptures. When you capitalize Gift are you saying that the Holy Spirit is that Person? Or is the Gift through the name of Jesus Christ in baptism? Is Jesus Christ that Gift? Since God gave His only begotten Son we receive the (g)Gift through the Father. How would that influence thinking about baptism and the (g)Gift here? 1) How about the word "promise" in this passage. What is the connection between Promise and Gift, or the promise and the Gift? 2) Or, is this a promised gift of holy spirit? [That is my position]. It is the spiritual words of Peter that were received and which caused them to be baptized. See verse 41. The people praised God and the Lord was calling to Himself those who were being saved. See verse 39 and 47. 3) Acts 2:35, "'Until I make Thine enemies a footstool for Thy feet.' 36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him/ both Lord and Christ---this (Jesus) whom you crucified." 1 Cor 12:1, "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware. 2 You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you, that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is accursed"; and no one can say "Jesus is Lord,"/ except by the Holy Spirit. 4 Now there are varieties of gifts but the same (Spirit)." The slashes and parentheses are mine for comparisons. 4) The people received Peter's words and the spirit that God was pouring out upon them. Acts 2:17. Acts 2:22, "Men of Israel, listen to these words: ,,," We have to learn about this Man, this Jesus who was crucified, and call upon His name to be saved. Acts 2:21. From the heart, Ray |
