1 | WHY WAS JESUS | John 11:15 | Ray | 18256 | ||
Hi There, I'm sorry that I haven't gotten back to you as I am slowed down by a bad cold. And if I still don't make sense, that is the reason.:) I didn't and don't disagree with anything you have said. I am afraid that after the initial paragraph of my post to you I "waxed eloquent" to everyone who would hear. So my question "Do you believe this? was open to everyone. My idea in the posting was to show the comparisons of the pronouns with the *. Also with the parenthesis. For instance, I see a relationship between John 11:37 and 47 concerning the (Man) who is performing signs and could have kept this man from dying. The question of do you believe this concerns whether anyone sees the connection of verses 26 and 50. In other words do we see this man as the Son of Man or as just a man. Do we believe that He is a Man who came to die for the whole nation, and not that nation only. And do we see that if we believe in Him that we will never die. So what I am saying is: In order to apply these verses to our lives and beliefs we have to recognize the Deity of Christ as shown by capitalization of the Scriptures. By the way, I agree with you, and rejoice with you, that in one of your posts you stated that God's Word is Truth. He said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. So, I didn't mean to question your beliefs. I believe that we can find a relationship between John 11:26 and John 8:32. Later, Ray |

Ray, just for the record I DON'T have a cold and I still had to read your post several times. Tonight I "finally" understood what you meant. :):) I DO have those days... And I agree. I think it is that revelation, that Jesus was not just man (small "m"), but also GOD Himself, that initially shocked me to the core of my being!! It still amazes me that HE could love ME enough to die on that cross. Since I see many lovable qualities in others, I could understand the cross for them. But for myself... well... I know exactly what the Lord saved me from. And I know I don't deserve it one bit. Tonight I read a verse that touched my heart in kind of a special way. It was 1John 5:13. The part that struck me was the last part "and that you may continue to believe in the NAME of the Son of God." The name. The name isn't just a word. When you say the name you are speaking a word that totally encompasses WHO God is. And the word "Jesus" means "JHWH-saves". "Emmanuel" means "JHWH with us". Not just God, but totally and completely GOD. He was with us in the form of the Christ, and He is the one who saves. His righteousness and His mercy are showing in every bit of His NAME. I suppose I'm off subject here, but for the past year He has been impressing on me that He will teach me something about His NAME... and I've been a rather slow learner. All this while it has seemed like what He wanted me to learn was just out of my reach. Like a child reaching for a cookie just out of their reach, the tip of the finger brushing the edge. Tonight I finally was able to lay the palm of my hand on the "cookie". How magnificent is the name of the Lord!! |
