1 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | Ray | 55097 | ||
Hi Reformer Joe, I have to disagree with your first statement. I don't believe that Scripture will be found to support a belief that Jesus is still a man. We have already looked at 1 Corinthians 15:45 where it says, "The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." We we get to heaven we will see Him as He truly is. God is Spirit. I also believe that we have to take your last paragraph on faith. If God did not create Himself, who did? I also believe that Jesus is the only-begotten Son. From the heart, Ray |

Hello Ray Jesus Christ is most certainly a man. It is that man who is our mediator today. 1 Tim. 2:5 (ESV) For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, Steve |

Right, and Hebrews goes on to say that as a man, he continues to make intercession for us and that His priesthood continues forever. A priest who is not one of us cannot represent us. And Jesus clearly still represents us: "The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing, but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself." --Hebrews 7:23-27 Thanks for the reminder! --Joe! |

Hi Joe, The Man of Hebrews, the High Priest, abides forever, and holds His priesthood permanently. He always lives to make intercession for them. There is a contrast not unlike the contrast between this Man and other men. There is the contrast between the High Priest and the other high priest who were prevented by death from continuing as priests. Hebrews 7:26,27, "For it was fitting that we should have such a High (Priest), holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens; who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for *his own sins, and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself." See the NKJ for the rendering of High Priest. And this Man is not a sinner, so He does not offer up sacrifices for *His own sins. Those sacrifices offered up were by the high priests for their own individual sins and for the sins of the people. From the heart, Ray |

Okay, I agree. I don't know what you are driving at, Ray, but what you say here is truth. --Joe! |

Hi Reformer Joe, What I want people to see is that no matter what people say about Jesus, He is God. In the verse of this thread, we see people saying that this man is a sinner. I want to tell everyone, this Man is not a sinner. I think that in the NASB and NKJ, there has to be more consistency in the capitalization of Man when it talks about Jesus. And this is not a slam against translators or a denial of the trustworthiness of the Scriptures; it is just a statement of fact, to my mind, that the Scriptures can be translated/interpretted better than they are. (The capitalization of Man is an interpretation.) The interpretation is what I am most concerned about since I have little knowledge of Greek or Hebrew. With the arrival of more and more versions, it is clear that many feel that a more accurate rendering of the Scriptures is possible. From the heart, Ray |
