Did Adam and Eve have a human nature when they were created? | ||||||
22 | Where in Matthew is "one man" mentioned? | Genesis | Ray | 85175 | ||
Hi, Where in Matthew do you find mention of "one man"? Romans 5:17, "For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the **One, Jesus Christ/." ...through the obediance of the One..." If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 15:45, "So also it is written, "The first MAN, ADAM, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last **Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47,NKJ, "The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord/ from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of (God); nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--" Thanks be to God. See 1 Corinthians 15:57,58 and 2 Thessalonians 2:13,14. If we are slaves, instruments, weapons of righteousness for God we receive great benefit. Romans 6:22, "But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to (God), you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life." From the heart, Ray |

23 | Holy Spirit and holy spirit? | Gen 1:2 | Ray | 73142 | ||
I believe that there is a difference between being "indwelt" and being "filled". I agree with the discussion here about the Holy Spirit being present right from the start of Genesis and the indwelling being after a saving faith in Christ. Colossians 1:27, "...which is *Christ in you, the hope of glory." Psalm 130:1-5, "Out of the depths I have cried to Thee, O Lord/. *Lord, hear my voice! Let Thine ears be attentive To the voice of my supplications. If (Thou), Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, And in His/ word do I hope." They hoped in His word and we hope in His Word do we not? Psalm 51:10, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Thy presence, And do not take Thy Holy Spirit/ from me. Restore to me the joy of *Thy salvation, And sustain me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners will be converted to (Thee)." I have included * stars and parentheses for comparisons and contrasts. The Scriptures have the word and the Word, the Spirit and the spirit. Are you open yet to the possibility of our being "filled with holy spirit" as at Pentecost? The Psalm speaks of a steadfast spirit within them. Can we have that same spirit? From the heart, Ray |

24 | Son of David?Son of Abraham?Seed? | Gen 17:7 | Ray | 106422 | ||
Who is this Prophet that came from Galilee? John 7:41and 52. Who is this Seed that should come? Galatians 3:19. Looking at John 7:42 and Galatians 3:17 can we see that the covenant was being ratified by God in Christ. Did Christ come from the Seed of David as well as the Seed of Abraham? Matthew 1:1, "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son [Son, NKJ] of David, the son [Son, NKJ] of Abraham." From the heart, Ray |

25 | Genesis 22:14, "it will be seen". | Gen 22:8 | Ray | 131250 | ||
Comments on the forum recently showed an interest in how much we should spiritualize this passage of Scripture. The story certainly shows that God will provide; He provided the lamb for Abraham. The question is, how much should we spiritualize the story to show that it was prophesizing about the Lamb of God. I noticed today for the first time that "provide", or I would suppose "provide for" is literally "see". Thus Genesis 22:8 can be interpretted as saying, "And Abraham said, 'God will **see Himself [as] the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.' So the two of them walked on together." So the questions which the passage bring to my mind is: How much is the Lamb a lamb? How much is God a god (in the image of God) How much is the Man a man? How much is the Angel an angel? How much is the Spirit a spirit? I see Galatians 3 as a companion Scripture. From the heart, Ray |

26 | holy Spirit?Please consider holy spirit | Ex 20:8 | Ray | 103475 | ||
Hi Radioman2, This is a question that really doesn't deal with keeping the Sabbath holy [sic]. But I was interested in the KJ quote of Ephesians 1:13. I hadn''t noticed until now that the "holy" is not capitalized for the Holy Spirit. You wrote that "We are sealed by the Holy Spirit." I agree. I also agree that the Holy [sic] Spirit is a Person and can be grieved. Now here is my question, however. Can I get you to consider putting the holy Spirit found in Ephesians 1:13, KJ, in the lower case, i.e. holy spirit of promise? So the reading could be interpreted, "In Him ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: In Him also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy *spirit of promise." It has been discussed in the thread that the seal is a mark. Is the Seal a Mark? Or are we talking about a Promise? No, I don't think so. Please consider keeping these things in the lower case and thinking of the promised holy spirit. In asking people to consider the "holy spirit" I reference Ezekiel 36:26 and 27 where we find both lower and upper cases for (s)Spirit. From the heart, Ray |

28 | Does God stop us from expressing thought | Ex 32:32 | Ray | 57478 | ||
I don't know if that is the answer that is being sought or not. I would ask; does God stop us from praying any prayer? Thankfully, He doesn't answer everyone according to our requests. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Kalos, In comparing this passage with Exodus 3:15, what can we learn about Jehovah? Can we not say that the Lord and God are one? From the heart, Ray |

32 | 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 |

33 | 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 |

34 | 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 |

35 | NASB or NKJ for this verse? | 2 Sam 7:24 | Ray | 140599 | ||
In considering the prayer of David found in 2 Samuel 7:18-29 with the expectation that the pronouns of Deity would have a total count divisible by three, which translation would you go with? 2 Samuel 7:24, NASB, "For Thou hast established for Thyself Thy people Israel as Thine own people forever, and Thou, O Lord, hast become their God." 2 Samuel 7:24, "For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people forever; and You, Lord, have become their God." From the heart, Ray |

36 | Desirability of a literal reading? | 2 Sam 16:12 | Ray | 149434 | ||
The marginal note for 2 Samuel 16:12 in my NASB Study Bible reads [Lit. the Lord will return]. This is an example to my mind of the desirability of the literal reading (even if it is a more "wooden" or stiff rendering). 2 Samuel 16:12, NKJ, "It may be that the Lord will look on my affliction, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing this day." I have learned to compare/contrast this verse with Isaiah 45:7. Any comments? From the heart, Ray |

37 | My Rock, in whom I take refuge? v.3 | 2 Sam 22:32 | Ray | 133471 | ||
2 Samuel 22 is a song sung by David. It is his testimony of how the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. As one interested in capitalization of Deity and as one who has counted the pronouns of various prayers in the Scriptures; I wonder about the sum total of pronouns of Deity in this testimony of David's. For this consideration, I wonder about the "Rock". I count five occurances of this word. How many would you count as speaking of "Himself" as a (r)Rock? Would you go, for instance, with the "Rock" of the Amplified version for 2 Samuel 22:32? From the heart, Ray |

38 | A word confirmed? | 1 Kin 8:26 | Ray | 110213 | ||
What word does Solomon pray to be confirmed? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
39 | Let Thy word, I pray, be confirmed. | 1 Kin 8:26 | Ray | 140688 | ||
I have been looking at the prayers of David and Solomon in the Scriptures and have been suggesting that they have nouns and pronouns of Deity that add up to a total count that is divisible by three. This prayer of Solomon's is another example. The nouns and pronouns of Deity in the 1995 NASB copyright count up to a total of 99. The 1977 copyright with its Thee's and Thou's would have a total of 105 if one goes along with one omission. I would suggest the omissison of "I pray [Thee]" 1 Kings 8:26, 1977 NASB, "Now, therefore, O God of Israel, let *Thy word, I pray [Thee], be confirmed which Thou/ hast spoken to Thy servant, my father David." 2 Chron 6:17, "Now therefore, O Lord, the God of Israel, let *Thy word be confirmed which Thou/ hast spoken to Thy servant David." I welcome any comments. From the heart, Ray |

40 | A question of pronouns | 1 Kin 8:30 | Ray | 107814 | ||
Is there anyone knowledgeable about Hebrew manuscripts that can tell me what leads translators to translate 1 Kings 8:29,30 and 2Chronicles 6:21 differently? I ask this question as one who counts pronouns of Deity, so it concerns the number of pronouns in the two verses. From the heart, Ray |
