Hi Doc, jm1127's question has to do with Sarah's attitude toward Abraham. Do you think that perhaps capitalization has some bearing on the answer to her question? The Amplified version infers that Sarah's "lord" refers to Abraham as a husband. Not that he lord's himself over her, but simply as a statement of respect. People throughout time have called others "my lord." In the Scriptures, Lot called angels "lords" in Genesis 19:18, "Then Lot said to them, "Oh no, my lords! 19 Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight,..." Here again, the words are being said in showing respect, don't you think my friend? 1) But when the person that you are speaking to is regarded as Deity, then we show that by a capitalized "Lord." Similarly, if an angel is regarded as Deity (a manifestation of God Himself) then we show that by a capitalized "Angel." (Genesis 18:3 would be an interesting study in comparing NASB and NKJ). 2) In regard to the attitude that Sarah shows toward Abraham, I believe that she sees him as her head. For 1 Corinthians 11:3 I agree with Green's Literal Version, "But I want you to know that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ." From the heart, Ray |
