In Mark 2:26, we read that it was Abiathar who was the high priest when David went into the house of God. But in 1 Samuel 21:1 we read that it was Ahimelech, the father of Abiathar who was the priest at Nob at that time. As he was the one to whom David spoke and the same one who gave David the bread, and the one who was called by Saul to question about this incident, I presume, although the bible only says "Ahimelech, THE priest, THAT AHIMELECH, NOT ABIATHAR WAS THE HIGH PRIEST AT THAT TIME. Is this an error on the part of Mark or is this a copiest error? | ||||||

hi tim! most certainly appreciate your thoughts and inputs on this matter especially with your so amiable spirit *_*. if it is just then a matter of grammatical convention of a language, then the question of whether the holy spirit is distinct and separate person for me is settled. may you spell for me the third person masc., fem., and neuter forms of the word ekeinos? providentially, in addition to mt 28:18, i found the following verses that separately mentions the father, the son, and the holy spirit in the same "breath" *_* to be of more help to me: Romans 15:30; 1 Cor 12:4-6; 2 Cor 13:14; 1 Pt 1:2. blessings to you tim, grace |

hi tim! below is a response i made for jeff but it also mentions the above verses you cited: Hi Jeff! So sorry I could only get back to you now. You must know that what is important to me is what the bible really teaches. I am not out to defend any doctrine taught by churches. Here are my thoughts on your response for whatever they are worth *_*. Now on to Mark 13:11 and Luke 12:12. If only there are no passages in the bible in the Greek manuscripts that use a pronoun for the Holy Spirit in the neuter gender I would naturally think the Holy Spirit is a person. But this is not so as in the sample verses below. The pronouns in the English translation are in the third person, but in Greek, they are in neuter gender. Jn 14:26 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He (Gk 1565 ekeinos) will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Jn 16:13 13 However, when He (Gk 1565, ekeinos), the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. Jn 16:14 14 He (Gk 1565, ekeinos) will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. Here is the definition of the original Greek word bolded and underlined above: ekeinos NT:1565 ekeinos (ek-i'-nos); from NT:1563; that one (or [neuter] thing); often intensified by the art. prefixed: (Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary. Copyright © 1994, 2003 Biblesoft, Inc. and International Bible Translators, Inc.) So although the pronoun in the English translation is that of a third person, it is actually in neuter in the Greek language. Also, Mark 13:11 and Luke 12:12 do not prove the personhood of the Holy Spirit. In the following, the spirit of Job drinks; that of Asaph makes diligent search; that of King Nabuchadnezzar, was anxious to know; and that of man, knows the things in man. Job 6:4 4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; My spirit (Hebrew 7307 ruwach) drinks in their poison; The terrors of God are arrayed against me. Ps 77:6 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit (Hebrew 7307 ruwach) makes diligent search. Da 2:3 3 And the king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit (Hebrew 7307 ruwach) is anxious to know the dream." 1 Co 2:11 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit (Greek 4151 pneuma) of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit (Greek Pneuma) of God. The verses that seem to me to imply a separate personhood are the following: Mt 28:19 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 2 Co 13:14 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. Ge 1:1 - 2 Th 2:13 13 Stand Fast But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, But then again, we know that God the Father is a spirit; so is the Christ and the angels. The pronoun Scriptures assigned to them is that of third person. So why would the neuter pronoun be used of the Holy Spirit? Should you have any insight into any of the above, I would appreciate knowing them *_*. Take care, Grace |

10 | Heb 1:7 licentious use of Ps 104:4? | Ps 104:4 | gdh1127 | 179839 | ||
hello john! thanks for the input. but i do believe there is a linguistic explanation for this and that although the original texts (greek writers quoting ot may it be from hebrew or greek renderings of it) agree, translation of the ot in hebrew or greek rendering into say english and nt in greek rendering into say english, something was lost *_* in the process. this is just a theory but i think it has good possibility. i just need someone who breaths ot hebrew and nt greek to show me *_*. blessings to you, grace |

hi tim! many thanks for the verses you supplied. i assume you are citing these from the greek rendering. i will check them out as i have interlinear bible. i don't read greek but i also happen to have a greek enchiridion. i hope i can find my way through the maze *_*. this has been the most helpful answer i received as it seems to be in the realm of greek grammar and beyond speculative interpretation *_*. bless your heart, brother. grace crammer |

12 | where dpes ezekiel 37 fit? | Rev 20:12 | gdh1127 | 179831 | ||
wow, thanks for the follow-up, rsinanan! ok, here are my thoughts on your response: john said ""...we know that, when he appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him just as he is. (1 john 3:2)" this harmonizes with what paul said about putting on immortality. but note, that christ could be touched, could eat after he resurrected *_*. so there will be bodies, though of different nature. but christ also said in the resurrection,like with the angels, there will no longer be marriages *_* among the resurrected humans. so whatever increase g-d would make in this new environment (economy *_*)will have to be done some other way, i suppose. as to isaiah 65, v.20 talks of death. it is a possibility that before the creation of the new heavens and the new earth (v. 17), g-d's ot people will be resurrected to live again in jerusalem, most likely during the millennial reign of Christ. but then, it can also be supposed that this "no marriage among immortals" arrangement are just for those who belong to the first resurrection. and that the rest of the resurrected will die again as mentioned in Isaiah 65:20. then you can be right that this resurrection will indeed be in the new heavens and new earth and all of g-'ds increase in his kingdom will come from this group and the other gentiles who were judged according to their deeds fit to belong to the kingdom rather than in the lake of fire *_*. i did not see this possiblity before. thanks. i will keep this in mind as i continue to study this subject. |

hi jeff! thanks a load. i had those excluded as i know them already and it has already been argued that this is just due to english grammatical convention and also due to bias of translators as the original has these in neuter *_*. so that does not prove or disprove anything. meantime, i will go through the verses you suggested and get back to you after. again, many thanks for responding. i scanned the unanswered questions and there was a veritable myriad of them and so i truly appreciate that you took time to answer mine *_*. take care, grace |

14 | Heb 1:7 licentious use of Ps 104:4? | Ps 104:4 | gdh1127 | 179794 | ||
hello brian! that is exactly how i understand ps 104:4. that is where the trouble lies because in heb 1:7 it is made to mean that god made his angels "just" spirits unlike our lord that he begot and calls his son. heb 1:7 is supposed to be a quote of ps 104:4. if the commentary's reading of ps 104:4 is correct, then the writer of hebrews is claiming a license to change its meaning to suit his treatise on angels vs christ. i know this is not so and that there is a logical explanation to this. so, would you know? take care, grace |

15 | is the soul then immortal? | 1 Cor 15:53 | gdh1127 | 179793 | ||
hello doc! it seems very obvious to me as the eralier verses of the same chapter clearly refers just to the body. but the church i am assembling with teaches that this refers to the whole of man, that his soul is mortal and also needs to become immortal. but if it is so that paul ONLY refers to the physical body here, then the soul indeed is immortal because pual makes it clear that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of god. doc, do you have any other verses that clearly indicates that the soul ceases to exist beyond the life of the body? i have many verses that to me seems to indicate it continues to exist after the body dies. i would prefer to come to a firm conclusion on this matter *_*. take care, grace |

16 | where dpes ezekiel 37 fit? | Rev 20:12 | gdh1127 | 179792 | ||
hi rsinanan! In 2 Pe 3:10 we learn that this entire creation will be done away with and a new heavens and a new earth will replace it (Rev 21:1). I believe this is what Rev 20:11 is referring to. Ezekiel 37, however clearly talks of a resurrection to a very physical existence, and so can't be placed as being that of rev 20:12 unless i misunderstand rev 20:11 as the point when 2 peter 3:10 happens. this being the case, i then need to reconcile rev 20:5 that says "the rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over" with ezekiel 37!!! if my understanding of rev 20:11 is wrong, then what does "earth and heaven fled away , and no place was found for them."? i am of the firm conviction that the bible does not contradict itself and that there is a reasonable explanation reconciling these seemingly conflicting verses *_*. take care, grace |

17 | Judaism, Babylon the Great of Rev 17? | Rev 17:5 | gdh1127 | 179789 | ||
grace and peace to you too, john. i was expecting it was an answer i will get, not a question *_*. no, i have not come to any conclusion yet. it just occurred to me that judaism, a religion that is far removed when it comes to biblical commanded practices the ot reveals, more logically fits as babylon the great of rev 17 than the roman catholic church does. babylon the great, the book excerpt below also has points that adds to the validity to my above line of thinking *_*. do you have any other areas of consideration? take care, grace |

the church i assemble with teaches that at the resurrection foretold in rev 20:12-15, those who have not known christ will have their chance to know him, learn of his ways, and be accepted in his kingdom. i cannot for the life of me see this. what i see is that men (unlike those who remain faithful to christ tasked to be his kings and priests) will be judged according to his deeds. the ministers cannot show me anything beyond that god's will is that all be saved. i am saddened to note that having been given free will, many choose the broad gate (matthew 7:13,14) indeed. | ||||||
