1 | special revelation vs general revelation | Ps 19:1 | gracefull | 89150 | ||
Tim, There are differences in the above listed scriptures. Luke 9:44 Jesus spoke to then and told them to let it sink in.. Luke 9:45 They did not 'understand' or they did not 'hear'. Even though they could have quoted Jesus' words and surely understod the meaning of each word, they did not 'hear the message'. John too is a good example: John 8:43 No 'hearing'..just words John 8:47 'Hearing' rhema John 10:19 why do you listen? no 'hearing' John 10:21 spiritual understanding or enlightenment.. John 12:47-47 speaks of the non hearing being judged by the Word... John 1 The Word, Jesus, came as light..the entrance of His truth changes and transforms. The conforming to His Word as mere words or a religion without the revelation of the living Jesus raised from the dead will help one be moral but does nothing to cleans the soul and change the heart and re birth the spirit. Have you ever received a spirtual revelation? Or to put it another way, has the entrance of the Word brought light, then you share it with a friend and they just looked at you as if to say 'so what' or 'what language are you speaking?' You may answer this with a 'no' but let me ask you, When you heard the preached word and were convicted as a sinner and KNEW Jesus was the savior you needed. My friend, is this not that 'revelation' or enlightenment? If not, what would you call it? God bless |

Greetings Graceful! I have studied Greek for a long time my friend. You will not find the kind of distinction you are mentioning in any Greek dictionary or lexicon. Your actually barking up the wrong tree my friend. I am not debating that God can take His word and reveal it to someone or enlighten someone. But, this distinction between 'logos' and 'rhema' is a false distinction. That is the point I am trying to make. The two words are simply synomyns. If there is any distinction at all between them it would simply be that 'logos' sometimes seems to refer to 'words' or something said in general, while 'rhema' seems to often refer to a specific word or saying. But, there simply isn't any evidence to indicate that 'rhema' refers to a spiritually enlighted word. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, I respect all your educaional background Tim and I also have respected the manner in which you respond scripturally to discussions. In light of the observations I made regarding the message of the verses I stated...do you see the suttle difference in the way they were used? I saw a distinct difference. I see, at least in the verses you used, a difference between 'spoken' words and 'spiritually understood' words. While we know God's Word is spiritually conveyed through the writers, we also know that without spiritual enlightenment the cannot change anyone. There are well educated theologians who are masters with the Greek and Hebrew, who are totally blind to the 'TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL'. I am in no wise saying YOU are so please don't think that. I do not doubt your heart toward God! God bless |
