Ray, Note: If Pilate was converted He chose some wrong people to be friends to, namely, Herod. Yes, but the friendship only happened just before Christ was crucified. Consider the works of Josephus the historian: Antiquities of the Jews - Book XVIII CONTAINING THE INTERVAL OF THIRTY-TWO YEARS. FROM THE BANISHMENT OF ARCHELUS TO THE DEPARTURE FROM BABYLON. (8) These Jews, as they are here called, whose blood Pilate shed on this occasion, may very well be those very Galilean Jews, "whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices," Luke 13:1, 2; these tumults being usually excited at some of the Jews' great festivals, when they slew abundance of sacrifices, and the Galileans being commonly much more busy in such tumults than those of Judea and Jerusalem, as we learn from the history of Archelaus, Antiq. B. XVII. ch. 9. sect. 3 and ch. 10. sect. 2, 9; though, indeed, Josephus's present copies say not one word of "those eighteen upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them," which the 4th verse of the same 13th chapter of St. Luke informs us of. But since our gospel teaches us, Luke 23:6, 7, that "when Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether Jesus were a Galilean. And as soon as he knew that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod ;" and ver. 12, "The same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together for before they had been at enmity between themselves;" take the very probable key of this matter in the words of the learned Noldius, de Herod. No. 219: "The cause of the enmity between Herod and Pilate (says he) seems to have been this, that Pilate had intermeddled with the tetrarch's jurisdiction, and had slain some of his Galilean subjects, Luke 13:1; and, as he was willing to correct that error, he sent Christ to Herod at this time." But, when Herod sent Jesus back to Pilate is when Pilate chose the different wording. Anyway, Ray, I think we should end this thread before we take up all the disk space. Yes, he is He and god is God. No translaters can take that away. No versions of Scripture can put away Divinity. And no pronouns. I love you brother. Keep the faith. We will get together again, either here or there, I am sure. Peace to you and your house! |

Hi compudex, I don't mean to try and get in the last word, but I have to clear up something you said at the last. You wrote, "Yes, he is He and god is God. No translators can take that away. No versions of Scripture can put away Divinity." The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures printed by the Jehovah's Witnesses is one that can try to put away Divinity. In John 1:1 they say that "the Word was a god." In the King James, for instance, when a pronoun of Deity is a he, then he is He. But God is always God there. Not so in the NWT, where they make Him a god. And you have to know that I am not happy to see people type with all lower case print and talk about god. But what is this "And no pronouns."? Are you giving me an ultimatum? :)) I love you too. Thanks for the time together. From the heart, Ray |

I meant that no pronoun written on a piece of paper can make God anything less than God. How can man change God? NWT, yes I know. I was raised by one. In my teens. Peace! |
