1 | Where in Matthew is "one man" mentioned? | Genesis | Mommapbs | 85343 | ||
Greetings again Ray - I'm interested in verse 27. In context with v. 26, can we read, God "made from one man every nation of mankind . . . that they would seek God."? Not wanting to open a can of worms, I'll just leave you to ponder this. mommapbs |

2 | Where in Matthew is "one man" mentioned? | Genesis | Ray | 85406 | ||
Hi mommapbs, I pondered these verses. 1) Acts 17:27, "that they should seek (God), if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though *He is not far from each one of us;..." Deut 4:7, "For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on *Him?" 2) Acts 17:28, "for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your poets have said, 'For we also are *His offspring.' Being then the offspring of God/..." Deut.4:32, "Indeed, ask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the day that *God created man [Or, Adam] on the earth, and inquire from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it? Has any people heard the voice of God/ speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived?" Luke 3:23, "And when He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being supposedly the son [I would say "being as supposed the Son"] of Joseph, the [son] of Eli,...38 the [son] of Enosh, the [son] of Seth, the [son] of Adam, the [son] of God./" Is Adam the son or the Son of God? I believe that the first Adam was the [son] of God. Was Jesus the son of Joseph or the God and Father of Joseph? I believe that this Jesus, the last Adam, was the Son of Joseph, the heavenly Man. 3) Jeremiah 23:23, "Am I a God/ who is near," declares the Lord, "And not a God far off? "Can a man hide himself in hiding places, So (I) do not see him?" declares the Lord. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the Lord?" Ephesians 4:4, "There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord,/ one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of (Christ's) gift." What does all that suggest to you? (Of course all the parentheses and slashes and stars are mine for comparisons. The brackets are also mine.) From the heart, Ray |

Hi Ray - my observation in Acts was that God causes man to seek for Him - He created man with this inner desire. Yet man so often when recognizng that God-gived desire, tries to have it satisfied apart from the only One who really can. And yes, God sees and knows ALL - He know who are His, those who have chosen to seek Him . . . He regards their groping and draws them near. (At times it is so obvious, God surrounds those who are His with fellow believers) re: "being as supposed the Son" of Joseph - to me it makes more sense to keep the lower case, the Son of God was supposedly the son of Joseph. In the context of its use, the wording causes us to question, WHO is this Jesus? Jesus is the Son of God. Oh well, that's my two cents. Blessings to you Ray, seek His face. mommapbs |

Hi mommapbs, Thanks for your thoughts. I don't know if Acts 17:26 and 27 tell us that God causes man to seek Him. It is true that God made every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, and He gives to all life and breath and all things to seek Him. But does he "make" us or "cause" us to seek Him? I believe that there is enough in "all things" to cause us to seek Him. I hope that made sense. It makes sense to me. :)) re:"it makes more sense to keep the lower case...son of Joseph". The only Greek word of "son" is found in Luke 3:23, "being supposedly the son of Joseph, the [son] of Eli," and for the rest of the verses the ["son"] is understood. Thus, since we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, we must capitalize "Son" because it is the only choice to be capitalized. He is the Son of God and He is the Son of Joseph. I haven't convinced anyone yet that I know of, but that makes sense to me. There is a difference in outlook between the New King James and the NASB in this regard. Look at Matthew 22:42 for instance. Matthew 22:42, NASB, "What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?" They said to Him, "[The son] of David." Matthew 22:42, NKJ, "saying, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said to Him, "[The Son] of David." So I go with the NKJ in this regard. And I go further: if we know Jesus as the Son of David, then we can know Him as the Son of Joseph and the Son of Abraham. That's the sense that He is David's Son. He is David's Lord. Matthew 22:45, NKJ, "If David then calls Him, 'Lord', how is He his Son?" 46 And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare question Him anymore." From the heart, Ray |

You wrote: "I haven't convinced anyone yet that I know of, but that makes sense to me." Ray, this is all that really matters. May God continue to speak so that HE makes sense to you! From my heart to yours! mommapbs PS: I'd appreciate some input on post # 85432 |
