Hi Aixen7z4, Isaiah 59:2, "But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your (God), And your sins have..." 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man is in (Christ) he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come." 2 Corinthians 5:20, "Therefore, we are ambassadors for (Christ),..." 2 Corinthians 6:1, "...we also urge you not to receive the grace of (God) in vain--" Hebrews 7:26, NKJ, "For such a High (Priest) was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless [innocent], undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; who does not need daily, as those high priests,..." Hebrews 7:22, "so much the more also (Jesus) has become the guarantee of a better covenant. And the former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers, because they were prevented by death from continuing, but He, on the other hand, because He abides forever, holds His priesthood permanently." Hebrews 8:6b, "...by as much as (He) is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises." Hebrews 9:15, "And for this reason (He) is the mediator of a new covenant, in order that since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it." Hebrews 9:28, "so (Christ) also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin,..." 1 Peter 2:24, "and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by (His) wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls." Isaiah 53:12b, "...Because He poured out (Himself) to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors." Isaiah 54:5, "For your husband is your Maker, Whose name is the Lord of hosts. And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel, Who is called the (God) of all the earth. Isaiah 54:8b, "But with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you," Says the Lord your (Redeemer)." The parentheses of course are mine for comparisons of the verses. When I put these facts together, I see a holy God who was numbered with the transgressors and for a brief moment (see Isaiah 54:7) felt the forsaking that a man would feel. But He remained the Son of Man, even the Man crying out "My (God), My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" Matthew 27:46. Matthew 27:47, NKJ,"Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This Man is calling for Elijah!" Matthew 27:49, NASB, "But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him." Matthew 27:43, "He trusts in God; let (Him) deliver Him now, if He takes pleasure in Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'" And the robbers also who had been crucified with Him were casting the same insult at (Him)." Hebrews 10:29, "How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the (Spirit) of grace?"

Hi graceful, It is a mystery why God would die in our place. But I would have to agree with Radioman that we will not find in the Scriptures that He "became sin". I typed those words in the Search Bible Text here at the forum and it wasn't there. I didn't find it in my concordance anywhere. In looking at Psalm 22 right now, I reaffirm my choice of the NASB over the NKJ for that Psalm. The NKJ capitalizes the pronouns throughout, but when I consider verse 6 I can not agree with that interpretation. Psalm 22:6, "But I am a worm, and not a man,..." The NKJ does not capitalize "worm", and that is good, but that verse alone tells me that the main thrust of the Psalm is about David himself. And again, any forsakenness that Jesus would have felt would be that of a man [sic]. Psalm 22:19, "But Thou, O Lord, be not far off; O Thou my help, hasten to my assistance." John 8:55, "and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him;..." From the heart, Ray |

Hi DarcyA, Thank you for this verse in 2 Corinthians. I had read it today and had quoted the verse prior to it in one of my posts, but it didn't come to my mind when I was talking to graceful. An interesting verse to compare with 2 Corinthians 5:21 is Ephesians 2:15. In 2 Corinthians 5:21 we see the word "made" and in Ephesians 2:15 the word "make" or literally "create". So the idea of 2 Corinthians isn't that God FORCED or "made" Him to be sin on our behalf. We are reconciled to God because He was the fulfilment of the Law and sin comes from the Law. As the NASB says, "He has committed to us the word of reconciliation." 2 Corinthians 5:20, "be reconciled to God". Ephesians 2:15, NASB, alternate reading, "the enmity, by abolishing in His flesh the Law." Ephesians 2:15b, "...that in Himself He might make [create] the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,..." Ephesians 4:22, "that in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self [literally, man],...and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self [man], which in the likeness of God has been CREATED in righteousness and holiness of the truth."

4 | FEAR OF THE LORD MEANING | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 95663 | ||
Hi Reformer Joe, When I think of Psalm 33:8 I think of the Spirit. When I think of the Lord God and the Lord Jesus I know that they are one Lord. Psalm 33:12, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for **His own inheritance." Psalm 33:9, "For **He spoke, and it was done;..." Matthew 8:16b, "...and **He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying, "He Himself took our infirmities, and carried away our diseases." John 10:30, "I and the Father are one." We can tell NEWBIBLESTUDENT to continue reading Psalm 33 to understand that if we trust in His holy name then we do not feel scared but we hope for His lovingkindness and look to be His own inheritance. Psalm 34:7, "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear **Him, And rescues them." Psalm 34:1, "I will bless the Lord at all times; **His praise shall continually be in my mouth." BTW, hello Cyclist, I don't remember hearing from you lately. Let us exalt His name together. From the heart, Ray |

5 | Holy Spirit question on mysterious ways | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 103927 | ||
Hi Radioman2, You are right of course. But I am enjoying the Scriptures and the conversation, aren't you? We can continue with Michael Draves' quote in Isaiah. Isaiah 55:9ff, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth, And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 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." From the heart, Ray |

Hi punkiedo, You said that "Jesus was the wave walker". Don't forget that the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water as early as Genesis 1:2. 1) I was comparing Job 9:5-10 with 1 Corinthians 13 and 14 this morning using the NASB. Both passages talk about moving mountains. And I see both passages as having five words spoken with the mind. From the heart, Ray |

Hi BNBRIONES, You don't have to apologize for asking a question. Just because the forum isn't here for counsel doesn't mean that we can't suggest some Scriptures for you. After talking with that Christian counsellor, come back to talk about the Scriptures he gave you. Here are some that came to my mind. Psalm 32:8, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye." Proverbs 3:5,6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Hope that helps.

Hi Makarios, It is good to think about Christ's dominion. I reflected on Scriptures today and considered narrowing down the dominion to one pronoun. 1 Peter 3:22, "...having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to *Him." Mark 16:19, "So when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, *He was received up into heaven, ..." Colossians 2:10, "and in *Him you have been made complete,..." Philippians 2:9, "Therefore also God highly exalted *Him,..." Ephesians 1:23, "...the fullness of *Him who fills all in all." Matthew 26:64, "...hereafter you will see the *Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Daniel 7:27, "Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; *His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him." Isaiah 9:6, "...a *Son will be given to us." 1 Peter 5:11, "To *Him be dominion forever and ever." 1 Peter 3:22, "...subjected to *Him." Hebrews 2:8, "...left nothing that is not subject to **Him." John 3:35, "The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into *His hand." Matthew 8:27, "What kind of a Man is this that even the winds of the sea obey *Him?" Mark 1:27, "*He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him." However we understand the pronouns of our triune God, He is the true God who is worthy of our praise. From the heart, Ray |

10 | name Jehovah | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 110816 | ||
Hi EdB, You quoted Exodus 3:15 for expressing the name of God, that is, saying that He is the Lord God. He is indeed the "Lord God," NKJ, or "The Lord, the God of your fathers", NASB, or "Jehovah the God of your forefathers," NWT. However, I was surprised that you did not quote verses 13 and 14 for God said to Moses "I AM WHO I AM". Who sent Moses? Moses says in verse 13 "The God of your fathers has sent me to you." What he is told to tell them is, "I AM has sent me to you." That brings out the importance of verses like John 14:6 to the Christian believer. From the heart, Ray |

11 | name Jehovah | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 110846 | ||
Hi Kalos, When we are typing concerning the Lord God, we are at a disadvantage because we can not have the various forms that the NASB utilizes. We have available "Lord" and "LORD", while they have an added dimension of a "L" that extends above the "ORD". They have a typing word form that we do not have available. The word "YHWH" was written in the English Bibles as "LORD" as your post states. But it was used to distinguish not only "LORD" from "lord", but also "LORD" from "Lord". They wanted to get away from a confusion of writing about the Lord Lord, or God God and so in their typing wrote about the LORD God. That is my understanding. From the heart, Ray |

12 | name Jehovah | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 110858 | ||
Hi Kalos, As a counter of pronouns I was interested in your fact that the name occurs 6,828 times. If asked, I would have predicted that the total times would be divisible by three. However, I am surprised that there are not three more occurances. From the heart, Ray |

13 | name Jehovah | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 111013 | ||
Hi EdB, I find it of interest that the pronouns for God in Exodus 3:15 total seven, which is a good complete number. :)) I find it of interest also that we know that it is not talking of three Gods, that is, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. We know that because of verse 16 where it talks of the singular God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. If we were to choose one pronoun out of the seven would it not be, "the (God) of your fathers"? And Moses was saying that "The (God) of our fathers has sent me to you." And verse 14 says, "I/ am has sent me to you". In other words God says "I am who I am". I am the God of your fathers who sends you. I like to compare/contrast verse 13 and 14 with John 15:16-19. "But (I) chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain...but I/ chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." The Lord [YHWH] is the (God) of their fathers and they did not choose Him, but (He) chose them. From the heart, Ray |

14 | name Jehovah | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 111054 | ||
Hi EdB, Thank you for that point to ponder and the commentary. That is a good point. I would hope that the Jehovah's Witness who reads this, who does not believe in the triune God, will realize that His pronouns are divisible by three. 1) The first chaper of Genesis talks about God. Jehovah God is not spoken of until Genesis 2:4, even in the New World Translation of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Chapter one has a total of pronouns that is divisible by nine (as well as three). The total of YHWH plus the three I am occurances is as you say, 6831 which is divisible by 27 (as well as three). 2) Genesis 1:1 says, "Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts." It then goes on and talks about "resting" from His/ work and how (His) work was done. See #111013 above for comparisons. The total of the pronouns through His/ work is divisible by 27. The other point to consider as far as where to find the other three pronouns, would be the end of verse three and verse four. Genesis 2:3, "...work which God created [Lit; to make] and made. 4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord [YHWH] (God) made earth and heaven." Romans 8:28, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to (His) purpose." Proverbs 16:3, NASB, "Commit your works to the Lord, And your plans will be established. 4 The Lord has made everything for its [Or, His] own purpose,..." (His) purpose is my choice. Proverbs 16:4, NKJ, "The Lord has made all for (Himself),..." Praise the Lord! From the heart, Ray |

15 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 112315 | ||
Hi Tim, I am interested in your discussion also as one interested in capitalization and the counting of pronouns. I had discussed "Jealous" with Kalos ages ago and I want to make it a lower case "jealous". I wonder if the same word is used for Isaiah 57:14 and Exodus 34:14. And for Luke 1:45 could we interpret it as "and Holy is His name. From the heart, Ray |

16 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 112341 | ||
Hi Tim, Exodus 34:14, KJ, "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous is a jealous God." New World Translation, "For you must not prostrate yourself to another god, because Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, he is a jealous God;" I find it of interest that the NWT puts in an extra pronoun, saying, "he is a jealous God". 1) Exodus 34 goes on and warns them not to play the harlot and go after other gods, sacrifice to their gods, or make images of other gods. Notice, people, the lower case "god"; for there is only one God and that is the Lord God, Himself. 2) I believe that God is jealous of that name. 3) Who is the Lord that descended in the cloud and stood there with Moses as he called upon the name of the Lord; [Or, as he called out with the name of the Lord]? Ex 34:5 Who is the Lord that Moses wanted to go along in their midst, even though the people are so obstinate? I won't pretend to know for sure which Person is being spoken of, but I know that Christ, the Lord descended and that God is Spirit and He dwelt in our midst. 4) Here is Exodus 34:14 as I understand it right now: "---for you shall not worship any other god, for YHWH (the Lord, Or, Jehovah), being jealous for the name, is a jealous God---. Deut. 6:13, "You shall fear only the (Lord) your God; and you shall worship Him, and swear by His name. 14 You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you, 15 for the Lord your God in the midst of you is a jealous God/:..." Numbers 25:10, "The the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 "Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned away My/ wrath from the sons of Israel, in that he was jealous with My jealousy among them, so that I did not destroy the sons of Israel in (My) jealousy." Hebrews 12:28, "Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; 29 for our God/ is a consuming fire." I still say that the way we show our reverence and awe is by capitalizing His name and His pronouns. From the heart, Ray |

17 | Does the Holy Spirit work differently? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 115104 | ||
Hi ischus, This discussion is not only about semantics of in, upon, indwelling, and filled with; it is also about interpretation of a lower or upper case (S)spirit. I speak of a spirit of love and think of it as a lower case spirit. But when one speaks of the Spirit, of the Person (as shown by capitalization), then we should speak of Him. I see that your post has spoken of "it" when you were talking of both the spirit and the Spirit. 1) You wrote, "On the other hand, we have the "gift" of the Spirit, the eternal, indwelling of the Spirit. It does not come and go as God sees fit. It is always present." I would agree that He is "always helping, comforting, encouraging, sanctifying, and stretching us." The gift of the Spirit, the indwelling of the Spirit, is to my mind what God has done for us. As sons of God, we have Christ dwelling in us because we keep His word. John 14:23, "Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My/ word; and My Father will love him, and (We) will come to him, and make Our abode with him." This is the gift of the Spirit from the Spirit; a promise of indwelling. Christ in us, the hope of glory. 2) However, I see also the gift of the *holy *spirit. It is a gift from God. It is what I see us as being "filled" with. It is the word of Christ richly dwelling within us. Colossians 3:16, "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God." That is what I call being filled with the spirit. It is what we are told to do; that is the will of the Lord. Ephesians 5:18, "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the *spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;..." Ephesians 5:20-Colossians 3:17 Thanks be to God! From the heart, Ray |

19 | Does the Holy Spirit work differently? | Bible general Archive 2 | Ray | 115247 | ||
Hi ischus, I think Tim Moran told me once about the gender of the Spirit, but I have forgotten. But what I am saying is that if Spirit is talking about Deity then the word should be capitalized. The word "it" is not capitalized in English and would not be counted as a word of Deity. From the heart, Ray |
