1 | Questions on the Divine Nature | 2 Pet 1:4 | StJake | 96076 | ||
Just a quick note: not to invalidate your question at all, but this verse isn't intended to apply to communion, or at least isn't a direct reference to communion. "Partake" doesn't mean to consume or digest the divine nature; it means to be a partner in, a sharer of the divine nature. The root word it's derived from is "common". It means that we share with God a common divine nature [through the better-than-great and obtained-at-great-cost promises]. I also think that this verse relates to -but is probably not limited to- the following verses (2Peter 1:5- 1:7) where the final attainment of maturity for the christian is "charity", or agape, a selfless giving love. That, praise God, is the divine nature. |

2 | Who will claim the reward? | Col 1:1 | StJake | 95961 | ||
What day to keep holy? How about EVERY DAY. I guess I fall into the "esteem every day" catagory. Thank you Jesus! Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Rom 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. |

3 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | StJake | 95948 | ||
"The beginning of the creation of God" does not mean 'the first thing that God created', it means that The Son is the person of God who began creation, creating all things (or equally creator with the other persons of God), i.e. Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. |
