1 | 'I AM' or 'I exist'? | John 8:58 | Morant61 | 145180 | ||
Greetings Follow Worker! I take it from the tone of your posts that you are a member of Jehovah's Witnesses. If I incorrect in my assumption, please let me know. :-) I have asked this question many times to JW's on this forum and not one has been able to answer it. How can Jesus be 'a god', when Isaiah says over and over again that there is no other god but Jehovah? I do know the difference between the Father and the Son my friend. One became incarnate, while One did not. But, both are the One God! Jesus was not 'equal' during His incarnation because He emptied Himself (see Phil. 2:5-11). But, this passage speaks to His status during His incarnation, not to His eternal nature. His eternal nature is made clear in John 1. He was with God, and He was God. p.s. - I would be nice if you would address the points in my previous post. Why must one believe that Jesus 'ego eimi' in order to be saved? Why did Jesus use the same phrase as Jehovah in Isaiah about Himself? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

After citing numerous examples regarding the root word harpazo at Phil 2:6, BeDuhn writes: "There is not a single word derived from harpazo that is used to suggest holding on to something already possessed." Showing that the translators are biased by examples he goes on: "You can see that the word has connotations of seizing something violently or unjustly. The NW translators understood harpagmos accurately as grasping at something one does not have, that is, a "seizure." Christ did not even think of grabbing at equality with God." In one of the few times that he offers possible interpretation, he links this truth with Paul's view of Christ as the second Adam. (1 Cor 15:45) Unlike Adam who did try to seize equality with God, the ability to decide good and bad, Jesus was humble and set the example for us. My how accurate translation can assist in interpretation! |
