2 | Gen 6:7 and Num 23:19 contradictory? | Gen 6:7 | Ray | 10222 | ||
Hi Nolan, I happened upon this thread and thought I might make a comment. And as you would expect from me, it will center around the capitalization of Deity. I doubt if "THE CROSS" will get anything from this but here goes. "Risen" should be interested in it because He knows the Truth. In Genesis, the Lord grieved over sin and its consequences, not over any mistake He had made. The comment I would make would be about Numbers 23:19 and the fact of God not being a man, nor a son of man. We have talked together about the Prophet Jesus and the Child who was born to us. We see Him as a Man and as the Truth. But here in Numbers it says that He is not "a son of man, that He should repent." In this lower case it is saying to me that God was not Joseph's son when He came to earth. It also tells me that He will make it good and won't turn from it. See Jer 4:28 But the verse says that He is "not" a son of man. How confusing is that when we know that Scripture says that the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. Or the KJV says that the Son of man came. Here in Numbers it says that God was not a Son of Man in my mind. Jesus was not a man, that He should lie when He said He was the Son of God. Nor was Jesus (God) a Son of Man, that we should think of God as the "Big Man in the sky". God is Spirit. So, Nolan, I think that Jesus was more than a Prophet, more than the Son of Man (the perfect Man), He was God Himself (Spirit) in human flesh. |

Ray, you are absolutely right! Jesus was God Himself in human flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). You stated, "See Jer 4:28 But the verse says that He is "not" a son of man. How confusing is that when we know that Scripture says that the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. Or the KJV says that the Son of man came. Here in Numbers it says that God was not a Son of Man in my mind." Actually, the context of Numbers 23:19 is clearly comparing God to his creation, man, and how God does not lie, repent, or change His mind like man so often does.. So I see the use of the phrase "son of man" in this verse as not in any way at all as a reference to Jesus. This is not referring to Jesus, it is referring to humanity. It is trying to show another character of God, this is, that God is perfect! This is a good question, Ray. Nolan |
