21 | Reviled IN the name of Christ? | 1 Pet 4:14 | Ray | 148754 | ||
My Greek/English Interlinear by J.P.Green, Sr has this rendering for 1 Peter 4:14, "If you are reviled in (the) name of Christ, (you are) blessed, because the Spirit of God and of glory rests on you. Truly, according to them, He is blasphemed, but according to you, He is glorified." Getting back to my original question, "How does this relate to our being reviled IN the name of Christ?" From the heart, Ray |

22 | If you are reviled IN the name of Christ | 1 Pet 4:14 | Ray | 148583 | ||
1 Peter 4:14, NKJ, "If you are reproached [insulted or reviled] for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified." The NKJ includes a sentence that the NASB does not have. These varying manuscripts show to my mind that they have been discussed (argued?) before. And to my mind it revolves around capitalization. What is this discussion all about do you think? "If you are reviled for [Lit, in] the name of Christ, you are blessed,..." From the heart, Ray |

23 | Considering the "senses" | 2 Cor 4:18 | Ray | 148227 | ||
In praying to God in the early morning hours of this morning, I thanked Him for my five senses; sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. I also thought of other common senses known to man; sense of worth, sense of accomplishment, sense of humor. What sense and Scripture come to your mind when considering these things? From the heart, Ray |

24 | Ephesians 1:20, NKJ, "seated [Him]? | 1 Sam 17:49 | Ray | 148038 | ||
Hi Doc and forum, The King James version has [hath He quickened] in italics because it is not in the Greek. So if you agree with the King James in leaving the pronoun "He" hath quickened us" for verse five out of the interpretation, then we have a double problem in determining what was meant in the Greek. Did He quicken us or did He not? From the heart, Ray |

25 | Made alive by the Word and the words | 1 Sam 17:49 | Ray | 148026 | ||
Hi Doc, I agree with you that only God can raise us who are dead in trespasses and sins. The KJ and the NKJ for your reference to Eph 2:1, reads, NKJ, "And you [He made alive] who were dead in trespasses and sins." One literal translation of Ephesians 2:5 reads, "even when we were dead in transgressions He made us alive together in Christ -- by grace you have been saved -- ..." Would you interpret both pronouns [He made alive] in your interpretation of the passage of Ephesians 2:1-5? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
26 | Any Hebrew translators out there? | Josh 22:22 | Ray | 147874 | ||
I see Joshua 22:22 as pivotal in understanding the book of Joshua. How many nouns and pronouns of Deity would you count for the verse? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
27 | 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 |
||||||
28 | Who or what is the (s)Spirit? | John 3:34 | Ray | 147600 | ||
Reference #124161. John 3:34, KJ, "For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." John 3:34, NKJ, "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure." What total do you interpret by capitalization for the nouns and pronouns of Deity for this verse? 4,5, or 6? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
29 | NKJ, NASB, and varied manuscripts. | 1 Cor 2:10 | Ray | 146920 | ||
The post of reference for this question is EdB's #146900. We have been discussing 1 Cor 2:10 with the expectation of it having four words of Deity in it. He has suggested, and I think with merit, this reading of the verse. "For to us God revealed them through His Spirit; for the *spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." We welcome comments. From the heart, Ray |

30 | His task is strange; His work is alien? | Is 28:21 | Ray | 145839 | ||
The marginal note for this verse in my NASB Study Bible has "21 Lit. task is strange" and "work is alien". "For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon; To do His task, -His task is strange- and to work His work - His work is alien." 1) Should this give us hope as "strangers and aliens?" Especially as we consider the stone and the rock, even the cornerstone of our faith; Isaiah 28:16. As people of God we want to follow in His steps. 1 Peter 2:10, "for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 11, Beloved, I urge you as strangers and aliens..." From the heart, Ray |

31 | Do we know Him who is true? In Him? | 1 John 5:20 | Ray | 145694 | ||
The Amplified version suggests that "This [Man] is the true God". The literal Greek would indeed have "This One is the true God and life eternal." I would suggest a comparison with John 17:3,4. John 17:3, Literal, "And this is eternal life, that they may know **Thee, the only true (God), and the One whom You sent, Jesus Christ. 3 I glorified Thee/ on the earth..." 1 John 5:20, Literal, "And we know that the Son/ of God has come, and has given us understanding, in order that we might know **Him who is true, and we are in (Him) who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This One is the true God/ and eternal life." The parentheses, stars, and slashes are mine for comparisons. The thought here being that this One is the true God/ and that He glorified God/ while on the earth. Any more thoughts? From the heart, Ray |

32 | I am He | Matt 24:5 | Ray | 145324 | ||
Will many come with the authority of His name or will they simply come in His name. In other words they will deceive many by saying, "I am who I am, the Christ." My interpretation of Matthew 24:5 is, "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am He, the Christ,' and will mislead many." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
33 | He scourges every son He receives? | Heb 12:7 | Ray | 145323 | ||
I interpret the word "father" in in Hebrews 12:7 as speaking of Deity. I would have it read "for what son is there whom the Father does not discipline?" What would be the arguments against such an interpretation? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
34 | God has given to us eternal life | 1 John 2:25 | Ray | 144939 | ||
Note: The context of this verse is a discussion of Jesus being the Christ. It talks of both the Son and the Father. Then verse 25 says, "And this is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life." Who is the He Himself? In the context of the passage would the NKJ translation be a better one for this verse? 1 John 2:25, NKJ, "And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
35 | His eternal spirit or the eternal Spirit | Heb 9:14 | Ray | 144704 | ||
My Study Bible has a marginal note for Hebrews 9:14 of "Or, His eternal spirit". What is suggested to you by these different renderings? Hebrews 9:14, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" And with the alternate reading: Hebrews 9:14, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through His eternal spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" From the heart, Ray |
||||||
36 | The work of God: hearing with faith? | Gal 3:5 | Ray | 144504 | ||
Comparing Galatians 3:2-8 with John 6:28,29. Galatians 3:2, NKJ, "This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4...5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?--" Question: Does He work miracles among us by supplying the Spirit or spirit? What shall we do, that we may work the works of God? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
37 | What kind of spirit are we of? | Heb 6:4 | Ray | 144402 | ||
Hi Searcher, God knows the difference but He has chosen not to show the difference. We can see that in that He has chosen languages that do not show upper and lower case differences. What differences would we as English speaking/writing persons see between God's Spirit and God's spirit? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
38 | Hearing with faith? | Heb 6:4 | Ray | 144312 | ||
Hi Quill and forum members, Have disputes raged for hundreds of year because of uncertainty over whether we have been born of the Spirit or of spirit? Hebrews 5:8, NKJ, "And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 9 called by God as High Priest/ "according to the order of Melchizedek," 10 of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing." Contrast/compare Galatians 3:2, "This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit/, are you now being perfected by the flesh?" Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ/ lives in me;..." From the heart, Ray |

39 | Are we looking for a way or the Way? | Matt 7:13 | Ray | 143563 | ||
Matthew 7:11, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!" In John 14:8 Philip said to Jesus, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." What do you think? Is knowing the Father enough of a way for us? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
40 | Ecclesiastes 11:5 and John 3:6 | Eccl 11:5 | Ray | 143483 | ||
I was discovering again the Scripture reference at this verse for John 3:6-8. Any thoughts on how wonderfully the old and new are tied together? From the heart, Ray |
