1 | Still waiting.... | 1 Cor 8:5 | pcdarcan | 130994 | ||
You're very welcome Mary - keep up the earnest research and comparison's with other portions of the Bible. I found your comment interesting and very sincere: "I still am trying to fit 2 Cor. 4:4's use of god and what Tim is saying but am having trouble." I believe it can be explained in this way. When other scriptures don't support a viewpoint, it's like a piece of puzzle forced into a location - it really doesn't interlock and when you stand back and look at the overall picture, it's slightly askew and doesn't match the surrounding pieces - no amount of reasoning is going to convince anyone that the puzzle piece is in the proper place. If someone leaves that piece in place, it will only cause confusion to the overall picture and people who look at it closely will always reason, 'this piece isn't quite right, I'm having trouble seeing how it fits'. It doesn't fit because the Bible does say there are "other gods", however there is only 'one true God' and from that true God's perspective, there is not another true "God" (or 'there is not another me, God'). It's reasonable when you view it that way - otherwise, you have to do a lot of dancing to disprove other scriptures that clearly indicate that there are other gods. The reason tranlators translate the small "g" in Hebrew to upper-case in English "G" is because they understand this argument and want to convey the true meaning of the Hewbrew text into English, or else it really would be confusing. Wish you the best in your research! |

2 | Do you believe in "Me, the only God?" | 1 Cor 8:5 | Ray | 131085 | ||
Hi pcdarcan, You wrote that "the Bible does say that there are "other gods", however there is only 'one true God' and from that true God's perspective, there is not another true "God" (or 'there is not another me, God')." As a capitalizer of Deity, I would capitalize "Me". Would you find anything wrong with capitalizing that pronoun, if only in your mind? For afterall, the "me, God" is talking about Jehovah in Isaiah 45:5. From the heart, Ray |

Where do you get " me " in this whole scripture? the context of this verse and the following verses has to do with eating or not eating false god( idol ) sacrifices. ??? I see the use of we in regardes to Him and us. G.B. ::) | ||||||

Hi lakerep, You are thinking of another Scripture reference than pcdarcan and me. Pcarcan in #130927 above was speaking of Isaiah 45:5. From the heart, Ray |
