161 | Personal preference? Why? | Mark 6:34 | Ray | 62935 | ||
I have a personal preference for the rendering of Mark 6:33,34. Between the KJ/NKJ or NASB, which do you prefer? | ||||||
162 | Is this not the Man? Is this not He? | Mark 12:15 | Ray | 69826 | ||
Jesus knew that there was no one like Him. There was no man or woman that He would yield to in courtesy and respect. He would "defer" to no one. Our major translations have only five pronouns for verse 14. But the literal Greek has one that is left out by them. It is in the margin of the NASB Study Bible. [Lit. it is not a concern to You about anyone, i.e. You do not seek anyone's favor] The Pharisees and the Herodians came to Him in order to trap Him in a statement, verse 13; the Sadducces came to Him and questioned Him. In the middle of that Jesus said, "Why are you testing Me?" I believe that Jesus came in the appearance of a Man. This is why the Jewish leaders were questioning Him. But why do we question His Deity? We can't bring anyone forward that was in Christ's likeness either. He was not just a man but He was in the form of God and did not consider it robbery to be equal with Him. So the questions are why, why? Why do you test (Me)? Why do you seek to kill (Me)? Compare these Scriptures. Mark 12:14, NKJ, "When they had come, they said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and [*You] care about no one; for You/ do not regard the person of men, but teach the way of God in truth...But He, knowing their hyprocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing (Me)? Bring Me a dinarius that I may see it." John 7:18, "He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the *One who sent Him/, [He, NASB] is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill (Me)?" The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?" Note John 7:24.

163 | Do we need Jesus to be the son of David? | Mark 12:35 | Ray | 34706 | ||
Matthew 22:45, Mark 12:37, Luke 20:44 "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? NASB "How can the scribes say that the Christ is David's Son? Amplified "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?" NKJ The scribes say it in both the NASB and the NKJ, throughout the Scriptures; "Son of David..." Mt 9:27 Mt 12:23 Mt 15:22 Mt 20:30, 31 Mt 21:9, 15 Mark 10:47,48 Luke 18:38,39 Do you think that the NASB should change their rendering of "son of David" to "Son" of David? here in Mark 12:35? They are open to changes in capitalization just as we are. |

164 | Being in the Spirit? | Mark 12:36 | Ray | 35972 | ||
What does it mean here to be "in the Holy Spirit?" See also Matthew 22:43 and Luke 20:42. | ||||||
165 | Are you a "mathetes" of Jesus? | Mark 13:31 | Ray | 65202 | ||
I see that this verse has not been discussed. The words of the verse can be found in Matthew 24:35 and Luke 21:33 as well. I see this as a wonderful companion/comparison verse. I see the three occurances as "mathematical" matches. I would like to have you look at them as a "mathetes" of Jesus. Perhaps we can even help the NKJ and NASB determine what is the most accurate rendering from the Greek of Mark 13:27 and Mark 14:3. Let's study "these things" and see that Jesus spoke here concerning the word of (God). Matthew 24:35, Luke 21:33, Mark 13:31, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but (My) words will not pass away." John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with (God),..." From the heart, Ray |

166 | Are you convinced? | Mark 16:10 | Ray | 54688 | ||
I was comparing Scriptures tonight and was reminded of how Mary obeyed Jesus and went to His brethren to tell them that she had seen Him. I was reminded that Jesus reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe Mary who had seen Him. Mark 16:9, "Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, (He) first appeared to Mary Magdelene, from whom He had cast out seven demons. *She went and reported to those who had been with Him, while they were mourning and weeping." John 20:17, "Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for (I) have not yet ascended to the Father; but *go to My brethren, and say to them,..." Mark 16:6, "... you are looking for (Jesus) the Nazarene, who has been crucified." John 20:25, "...'We have seen the (Lord)!'" John 20:27, "...Reach here your finger, and see My/ hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing." Mark 16:14, "...and He/ reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him..." My question is this: Are these comparisons noteable enough for someone to believe that Mark 15:9ff should be included in the Scriptures? From the heart, Ray |

167 | promise from Holy Spirit; gift of h.s. | Mark 16:17 | Ray | 114427 | ||
P.S. I have used my pencil eraser through the years and wish to get back to this post. Now is your chance to set me straight with your comments. In my original post here, I had recommended a lower case holy spirit for Acts 2:33. I have it now in upper case for my personal copy since I now think of the verse as speaking both of the promise, the gift, and also the Person, the Holy Spirit. I offer these comparison verses: Acts 2:32, "This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are witnesses. 33 Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of [from?] the Holy Spirit/, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear." John 7:38, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.'" 39 But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Holy Spirit/ was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified." Acts 2:38, "And Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the *holy *spirit. For the promise is for you and your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself." Comments and Scriptures, please. From the heart, Ray |

168 | The things concerning this Child. | Luke 2:16 | Ray | 141068 | ||
We think of Jesus as fully (m)Man and fully God. I think of Jesus as fully Man. Why do people need to think of Jesus as a man? Luke 2:16, "And they came in haste and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. 17 And when they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child." Luke 2:16, NKJ, "And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in the manger. 17 Now when they had seen [Him], they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child." What do you think? Baby or baby? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
169 | Baby or baby (continued)? | Luke 2:16 | Ray | 141157 | ||
Hi Greentwiga, When looking at the all caps of Hebrew or the all lower case of the Greek then CAPITALIZATION or capitalization is not an issue. But in the English language it does become an issue. There is a difference between God and god and a Baby and a baby. Is the deity of Christ an issue with you? Is He God? Is He "God with us"? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
170 | Fitting for Him to perfect the Author? | Luke 2:16 | Ray | 142357 | ||
Hi Kalos, You speak here of the "divine author" of the book and elsewhere on this thread you spoke of the Divine Author. What do you think about "the Author of our salvation" for Hebrews 2:10 and "the author and perfecter of faith" for Hebrews 12:2? That is the way I see it right now. From the heart, Ray |
||||||
171 | Do we keep His commandments? | Luke 4:4 | Ray | 110324 | ||
The manuscripts that the various versions use have what are considered minor differences. The differences are probably no more "minor" than the differences that searchers for truth have experienced through the ages. Through the ages the Deity of Christ has been focus for the differences in believers. So it is natural that we as believers would like to see the inclusion of Acts 8:37 and 1 John 5:8 for instance in our accepted version. Right now I would like to talk about the minor difference in manuscripts of Luke 4:4. It has been pointed out on the forum that "by every word of God" has been omitted by many versions. As a "counter of pronouns" and one interested in the Deity of Christ, I see this as an important point of discussion (as it evidently was in the past with the copiers of the Scriptures). What can we learn about what the passage is saying about the Son of God by looking at the quote from Deuteronomy 8:3 as found (or not found) in Luke 4:4? Luke 4:4, NKJ, "But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'" From the heart, Ray |

172 | Truly this Man was the Son of God.Mk 15 | Luke 4:23 | Ray | 8214 | ||
What can be determined by a comparison between Luke 4:23 and Luke 23:39? What do they say to you? | ||||||
173 | Word or word? | Luke 8:15 | Ray | 111866 | ||
It is said that Jesus and the Word are synonymous. I would agree if one is talking about the Jesus and the Son. The problem comes when we capitalize the Word of God, the Holy Bible. Then we have a misunderstanding between the Word, Jesus, and the word of God, the Bible. In the verse for this thread we can see the problem by comparing the NASB with the Amplified version. Question: For Luke 8:11 is the parable talking about the Scriptures or about the Son of God? Luke 8:11, "Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
174 | Written word and incarnate Word.Yes? | Luke 8:15 | Ray | 111889 | ||
Was the Word just written or did He indeed come in the flesh? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
175 | Where is your faith? | Luke 8:25 | Ray | 48426 | ||
Here is a question for those who have a copy of Jay P. Green, Sr. editor's Greek Interlinear or those interested in Greek. Why are the same words in Luke 7:49 and Luke 8:25 translated differently? For those who do not have a copy, Luke 8:25 is rendered as "Who then is this One?" Looking at the NASB, Luke 7:49 reads "Who then is this man [in italics] who even forgives sins?" and Luke 8:25, "Who then is this?"** Luke 7:49, NKJ, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" and Luke 8:25, "Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!" I would like to see more consistency here by our translators. What do you think? Again, I am not questioning the truth of Scripture, but I think that we can come to a concensus here. From the heart, Ray |
||||||
176 | Do we receive *holy *spirit as a gift? | Luke 11:13 | Ray | 130093 | ||
In considering Romans 5:5, in my personal copy I have penciled in a lower case "holy spirit". I do this because I think of the holy spirit as the gift of God which is given to us. I compare the verse with Acts 11:16, "And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, 'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the *holy *spirit'. 17 If God therefore gave to them the same gift as He gave to us..." I would like some comments from the forum members as I continue to consider the gift of "holy spirit". From the heart, Ray |
||||||
177 | Pattern of words? | Luke 11:13 | Ray | 147765 | ||
Hi keruxib 12, You wrote, "the pattern is the same - allowing the Word of God richly dwell in us fills us with His Holy Spirit". You capitalized "Word" and "Holy Spirit". Is the pattern the same or can you recognize the pattern if I write, "the pattern is the same - allowing the word of God richly dwell in us fills us with His holy spirit." Colossians 3:16, "Let the word [sic] of Christ richly dwell within you,..." 1) Compare Ephesians 5:21 "fear of Christ" and "as to the Lord" with Colossians 3:22, "fearing the Lord" and "as for the Lord". Is there a pattern of words? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
178 | By what authority? | Luke 20:2 | Ray | 50513 | ||
Matthew 21:23 nor Mark 11:28 require this decision. But for Luke 20:2 here is the question. Or, "Who is the one who gave you this authority? Was it the "one"? NASB Was it "he"? NKJ Was it "it"? Amplified Or, are we not to know the answer, either. Was the baptism of John from heaven or men? Was this authority from heaven or men? Was John a prophet indeed? Was Jesus just a prophet? |
||||||
179 | Same old question: man or Man? | John 1:1 | Ray | 30127 | ||
I was comparing John 1:2 and Matthew 9:3. The word that I was looking at was "outos" in Greek. It is translated "This One" or "He" in the NASB and NKJ for John 1:2. It is translated "The same" in the King James referring back to the Word in verse one. In Matthew 9:3 "outos" is translated "This (fellow) blasphemes." in the NASB. "This Man blasphemes." in the NKJ. And "This (man) blasphemeth." in the King James. Does anyone wish to discuss this comparison? |
||||||
180 | Holy Spirit and holy spirit? | John 1:2 | Ray | 125789 | ||
I noticed tonight that "Got it" has not been on the forum since a couple of days after I asked for his thoughts. I wonder if anyone would like to answer for him. I am thinking of the connection of Heb 9:14, and the one question that he asked about the spirit of love. From the heart, Ray |
