1 | Standing firm in one Spirit/spirit? | Phil 2:1 | terrib | 113667 | ||
Hi Ray, You asked, "1) Do you not see the difference between "word" and "Word"?" Yes, I know the difference, but as in many passages of the Old Testament there is a mirror meaning with that of the New Testament. You asked, "2) Do you not see that the word "it" should be applied in the Isaiah 55:11 verse since the word and thoughts of God is the subject?" Exactly, and what are "the words and thoughts of God"? Jesus! The Word of God. All things were created by Him. The Father spoke and His Word did it. Isn't this part of the Trinity? Wasn't the Word with the Father? If God did not speak would there be a Jesus? (Joh 1:14 KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..." In love, terrib |

Hi terrib, The dictionary says that a "mirror" is anything that gives a true representation or description. So when you talk about a "mirror meaning", it should give a true representation. Thinking of Jesus as an "it" would not be a true representation. Thinking of the Scriptures as Jesus Himself and thus worshipping the Bible would not be the true meaning. Scripture tells us that we must believe that Jesus came in the flesh. Jesus is more than the words and thoughts of God. The Scriptures are the word of God; and the Word was God. I know of no Scripture where it talks of the Word [sic] of God. 1) The comparison you made was not a mirror meaning because they didn't match up because of the "it" pronouns. 2) Yet, I agree that there are indeed mirror meanings when we compare Scripture with Scripture and spiritual thoughts with spiritual words. An example might be Isaiah 55:11 with John 1:12. Isaiah 55:11, "So shall My/ word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what (I) desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it." John 1:12, "But as many as received Him/, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in (His) name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." So, we can say that we receive Him/ and we receive His/ word. What (He) desires is that we believe in (Him). From the heart, Ray |
