1 | Jake's Expository Notes | 2 Pet 1:3 | StJake | 96075 | ||
Uhm, well, you don't _need_ them. I'm just adding notes about what I found interesting when I was studying the verse. For instance, in this verse, did you know that 'godliness' in this verse meant 'reverence/ respect toward God'? I didn't. I thought it meant 'God-likeness'. Do the notes bother you? Is this an improper thing to do on StudyBibleForum.com ? |

2 | firstborn: prototokos | Col 1:15 | StJake | 95957 | ||
I checked, and you are correct, and I am definitely mistaken. I am *dreadfully sorry*. I did a word study on prototokos before, and i was recalling what I had learned when I made the comment. I obviously was looking at "protos" as a root of prototokos, then gotten confused and had mistakenly thought that cheif was prototokos instead of protos. I am not infallible, and was mistaken, not intentionally misleading anyone Thank you SO MUCH for your correction. All apologies in Christ- Jake | ||||||
3 | firstborn: prototokos | Col 1:15 | StJake | 95952 | ||
The term "firstborn" is translated from the greek term "prototokos"- which does not mean here "created first", or "born first in time". It's the same word that Paul uses when he says in 1Tim 1:15, "...to save sinners; of whom I am chief". That term 'chief' is translated from the same word 'prototokos', so unless you believe that Paul was the first person to have ever sinned, don't interpret this passage to mean that Jesus was the 'first' creation of God. It means here to be first in rank, or highest in order: as in the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords, by whom and for whom all things are made (Col 1:16). | ||||||
4 | Jesus Created or Creator??? | Rev 3:14 | StJake | 95949 | ||
Why do I "know" that Jesus is as much the Creator as is God? Well, John 1:1 in any reputable translation: Jhn 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Here's a question to you: What does before all things mean to you? Also, for future reference: Col 1:15, the term "firstborn" is translated from the greek term "prototokos"- which does not mean "created first", or "born first in time". It's the same word that Paul uses when he says in 1Tim 1:15, "...to save sinners; of whom I am chief". That term 'chief' is translated from the same word 'prototokos', so unless you believe that Paul was the first person to have ever sinned, you're left with some pretty substantial cognitive dissonance. |

Although the greek word for "peace" has the expansive meaning listed in the Amplified text, one important sense is missing. Peace, or eirene (i-ray'-nay), is also peace between individuals, i.e. harmony, concord, [as restored through reconciliation]. | ||||||

Apostle: apostolos (ap-os'-tol-os) a delegate [A person authorized to act as representative for another; a deputy or an agent], messenger, one sent forth with orders Also, the Greek term for by/through here is EN, which is most commonly translated as "in" [AV- in 1902, by 163, through 39]. Peter is saying that our faith is " /in/ the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:". |
