41 | Nouns and pronouns divisible by 3? | Matt 6:9 | Ray | 143289 | ||
3 John has three nouns of "God". This is important to me because it speaks to my mind of a triune God. Can we see six pronouns in the letter to add to the three nouns? From the heart, Ray |

42 | The ways of life and truth? Acts 2:28 | John 5:32 | Ray | 142923 | ||
What is the difference between the "another" of John 5:32 and the "another" of John 5:43? From the heart, Ray |

43 | Omit or not?To raise up the Messiah? | Acts 2:30 | Ray | 142816 | ||
This is a verse that has a variance in the manuscripts. This explains the difference in the number of words of Deity in the verse for the translations. The all caps in the NASB quote of Psalm 132:11 makes it a little more difficult, but I would say that the NASB has one noun of "God had sworn". The Amplified has that one noun of God and the pronoun of "He would set one of his descendants on his throne". The NKJ has two nouns and one pronoun; God, Christ, and He. The NU Text omits the Greek phrase, "according to the flesh, to raise up the Messiah." The NU Text, I believe, is what the NASB uses. In this case, I would insert the phrase into the verse (as if anyone cared what I would do). So here is my interpretation for what it is worth. Acts 2:30, "And so, because he was a prophet and knew that God had sworn to him with an oath to seat [one] of his descendants on his throne, according to the flesh,---to raise up the Messiah--- 31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ..." Question: Why do you suppose that the copiers did not agree on this verse? What were the people discussing or debating would you think? From the heart, Ray |

44 | Earlier He passed over;Now the Lamb | Rom 3:25 | Ray | 142475 | ||
In the Greek the verse talks of the forbearance of God. It does not say "in His forbearance", so I would say that the verse should read similar to the KJ. KJ, "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness." Or, with the use of a comma in the NASB: "whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation is His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance, God passed over the sins previously comitted; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time,..." Righteousness of God, verse 22 His righteousness, verse 25. God is one, verse 30. Question: How many pronouns of Deity in verse 25? From the heart, Ray |

45 | 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 |
||||||
46 | To know exactly; to recognize? | 2 Pet 1:3 | Ray | 142350 | ||
The NASB for 2 Peter 1:3, and 8 speak of the true knowledge of Him. The Amplified speaks of the full, personal knowledge of Him. The NKJ and KJ talks of "the knowledge". The Interlinear Greek copies that I have speak of the "full knowledge" of Him for 2 Peter 1:3 as well as Colossians 1:11 where the NASB speaks of the "real" knowledge. Do you agree that the more accurate rendering would be the "full" knowledge? From the heart, Ray |

47 | Born of the Pneuma or pneuma? | John 3:8 | Ray | 142268 | ||
In regard to thinking about how God speaks to us, were we born from above by the Spirit or the spirit? We were born again by His Spirit or His spirit? Or both? From the heart, Ray |

48 | Thirsty land or "him who is thirsty"? | Is 44:3 | Ray | 141894 | ||
MacArthur Study Bible note for this verse: "44:3 water...floods. The extensive blessing of physical conditions will favor the nation in the coming kingdom age (43:19,20); they were also symbolic of spiritual refreshment from the Holy Spirit and God Himself (32:15; Joel 2:28,29)." I view the Holy Spirit as the Giver and the holy spirit as the gift of spiritual refreshment or water. This verse is a reference for John 7:38. Does a comparison of these verses help you to choose between Spirit or spirit? Does a comparison help you to decide betweeen "the thirsty land", NASB" and "him who is thirsty", NKJ? From the heart, Ray |

49 | Never did a Man speak...? | John 7:46 | Ray | 141870 | ||
I am revisiting this verse. I have been asking of people whether Jesus has to be thought of as being a "man" [sic]. I like the way that the NKJ and Amplified versions show that there is a difference between a mere man and this Man. Yet, I wonder if there might be yet another interpretation of this verse using capitalization. What are your views on this rendering? John 7:46, The officers answered, "Never did a Man [sic] speak the way this Man speaks." From the heart, Ray |
||||||
50 | How we judge the Man? | John 7:51 | Ray | 141835 | ||
This question is an outgrowth of a thread with Makarios nearly three years ago on John 7:38 and a thread with Rowdy almost one year ago concerning John 7:51. 1) Does living water flow from OUR innermost beings? Or does John 7:38 speak of the Spirit? 2) Is verse 51 dealing with the Man Jesus? What would you say about my interpretation of verse 51 as being, "Our Law does not judge a Man, unless it first hears from Him and knows what He is doing, does it?" From the heart, Ray |

51 | Prove Myself holy among you? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141716 | ||
Here is the last noteworthy difference between the NASB and the NKJ to my mind and understanding. Ezekiel 20:41, NASB, "As a soothing aroma I shall accept you, when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I shall prove Myself holy among you in the sight of the nations." Ezek 20:41, NKJ, "I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles." Which version do you go with for this verse? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
52 | provoke Me? (revisited) | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141700 | ||
I am not proficient in using www.crosswalk.com. Does anyone care to say which version they would go with and why? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
53 | provoked Me? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141695 | ||
Another difference between the NASB and the NKJ is found in Ezekiel 20:28. NASB, "When I had brought them into the land which I swore [Lit. lifted up My hand] to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every leaf tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering...." NKJ, "When I brought them into the land concerning which I had raised My hand in an oath to give them, and they saw all the high hills and all the thick trees, there they offered their sacrifices and provoked Me with their offerings." Which version do you go with for this verse? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
54 | Plead My case or judgment? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141671 | ||
Ezekiel 20:35 and 36 for the NKJ version have three pronouns that are not in the NASB. The verses talk about how God will either "plead My case with you" or will "enter into judgment with you face to face". Which version do you go with for these verses? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
55 | NASB or NKJ for these verses? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141629 | ||
A difference in the NASB and NKJ that I have noticed is represented by Ezekiel 20:8. NASB, "Then I resolved [Marginal note, Lit., said] to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt." NKJ, "...Then I said, 'I will pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them..." Which version would you go with for verses 8, 13, and 21; those having the "I resolved to" of the NASB. From the heart, Ray |
||||||
56 | I chose Israel and lifted up My hand? | Ezek 20:5 | Ray | 141569 | ||
I have been studying the differences between the NASB and the NKJ for chapter 20 of Ezekiel. Ezekiel 20:5 has the first occurance of a difference in translation. The verse has the first and second occurances of the seven things that God "swore to" in chapter 20. How important is it to know that God lifted up His hand? What verses come to your mind in regard to His swearing? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
57 | Christ's nature;before or after the fall | Mark | Ray | 141469 | ||
Hi BradK, Why do you think that "he" [sic] was on the cross? Why is Christ in your mind as the God-man instead of the God/Man? In Genesis, Adam was called Man. Should not the second Adam be called Man as well? Is the "human nature" of Jesus to be thought of as one that is before or after the fall? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
58 | Man or man? | Mark | Ray | 141463 | ||
Hi Jdrummer, Psalm 22, NASB, has the "forsaken me" in lower case in verse 1, and verse 6 explains that "I am a worm, and not a man." So Jesus is remembering this song of David while on the cross. However, He was not just a man in the midst of a tragedy, He was truly the Son of God. That is why I go with the NKJ for Mark 15:39, "Truly this Man [sic] was the Son of God." So, Psalm 22 says to my mind, "Why hast Thou forsaken me?" [David]; and Mark 15:34, "Why hast Thou forsaken Me?" [This Man Jesus Christ]. So my question continues to be "Why do people continue to think of Jesus as a human rather than His [sic] being in the likeness of men?" What do you think? From the heart, Ray |

59 | 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 |
||||||
60 | 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 |
