1 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | Fellow Pilgrim | 175330 | ||
The statement "Jesus is LORD" was pregnant with meaning bacause the Roman citizens knew the meaning behind "Caesar is LORD" (the provider of all that was good - security, wealth, expansion of empire, peace, etc). To use the term "God" or "LORD" is not appropriate today. What I am looking for is an alternative that is as simple as "Jesus is LORD" without the need to take 10 minutes to explain what the term meant in AD50 and today. Any other offers? | ||||||
2 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | Hank | 175334 | ||
Pilgrim, you say "To use the term God or LORD is not appropriate today." My dear fellow, what on earth are you suggesting? That we take it upon ourselves to rewrite the Scriptures, removing both words? Why should you or anyone else under the sun feel a need to take God out of the Bible? Do you not believe 2 Timothy 3:16, that all Scripture is God-breathed? Do you think you or anybody else can rewrite Scripture and do a better job than God did originally? I'm sorry that I have to be so candid with you, but your proposal falls flat with me, friend. --Hank | ||||||
3 | Alternative to the term "Jesus is LORD"? | Deut 11:19 | Fellow Pilgrim | 175393 | ||
Hank, that is certainly not my intention. You misunderstood by question. I am seeking a way to engage the spiritually ignorant so that, over time I may share with them the TRUTH of Jesus Christ as LORD of the universe. You may like to see my reply to "Wild Olive Shoot". | ||||||
