61 | 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 |

62 | If and when? | 2 Chr 6:24 | Ray | 140625 | ||
In comparing this verse with the similar prayer in 1 Kings 8:31, I see that sinning is a fact of life. Sin leads to death and as you say, "repentance is a way of life", or could we also say that repentance is a way to life. There is no doubt that if we sin against Him we will feel the results of that sin. 1 Kings 8:33, "When Thy people Israel are defeated [Lit. smitten] before an enemy, because they have sinned against Thee..." 1) I wonder what the difference is in the Hebrew between "if" and "when". 1 Kings 8:31, NKJ, "When anyone sins against his neighbor,..." 2 Chron 6:22, NKJ, "If anyone sins against his neighbor,..." From the heart, Ray |

63 | Hear Thou...heaven. Hear Thy people | 2 Chr 6:24 | Ray | 140612 | ||
When God's people sin, how important is it to return to Him? The "to You" is implied in the Hebrew, but it is an important pronoun for the verse, would you not agree? From the heart, Ray |

64 | There is no God like Him.May He hear | 2 Chr 6:14 | Ray | 140608 | ||
In considering the prayer of Solomon in 2 Chron 6:14 I have the expectation of finding a total count of pronouns of Deity that is divisible by three. I find two verses to be key for this prayer. 2 Chron 6:14, NKJ, "and he said, "Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven or on earth like You, who keep [Your] covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts." 2 Chron 6:21, NKJ, "And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive." What do you think? Do we have a triune God who keeps covenant with us and will hear our supplications? From the heart, Ray |

65 | 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 |

66 | Who is exalted as head over all? | 1 Chr 29:10 | Ray | 140564 | ||
Hi Searcher56, I would say Father, also, if we can be sure that the verse is talking of the Lord God. The NASB and the Amplified versions interpret the verse as speaking of Israel, that is, Jacob, David's forefather. Could that be the more accurate interpretation? 1) The second choice that we have in considering this prayer and its pronouns is whether the second occurance of "Yours" should be included. The word is in italics in the NKJ. 1 Chron 29:11, NKJ, "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, The power and the glory, The victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is [Yours]; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, And You are exalted as head over all." 1 Chron 29:11, NASB, 1995, "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all." Both versions have six pronouns of Deity in verse 11 but have translated it differently. How would you translate it? Would you use a lower number of pronouns by not using the implied "Yours" of the NKJ? Would you add to the number by capitalizing the word "Head" because He is exalted? 2) Or would you see little value in discussing the pronouns at all in the first place? I am aware that just because I want to know a triune God, doesn't mean that everyone is interested in that. From the heart, Ray |

67 | father or Father? | 1 Chr 29:10 | Ray | 140541 | ||
I am looking at the prayer of David in 1 Chronicles 29:10-19 with the expectation that the pronouns of Deity would be divisible by three. The first pronoun that would influence that "count total" is found in verse 10, being the word "father or Father". This choice of capitalization is reflected in the interpretations of the NASB and the NKJ. NASB, "Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever." NKJ, "Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever." What do you think, and why? From the heart, Ray |

68 | May I thank you for your activity here? | Ps 106:33 | Ray | 140274 | ||
Hi Kalos, Should I thank you for your observation or should I rephrase my question so that someone would like to be active in discussion? From the heart, Ray |

69 | Rebellious against his spirit? | Ps 106:33 | Ray | 140104 | ||
Hi Scribe, Since I am writing to an inactive member, I will address this as a question. 1) In further studying this passage I did not find that God was provoked to anger in Numbers 20:2-13 and I found that Phinehas was jealous with God's jealously in Numbers25. Thus, I believe that the provoking of [Him] in both Psalm 106:29 and 32 could be better understood as "they provoked to anger" and "They also provoked to wrath" since both God and man were involved in the anger or jealous anger. 2) For verse 33 I am penciling in "rebellious against his spirit" because the people were envious of Moses and Aaron as seen from verse 16. Any comments? |

70 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit? What is it? | Acts 4:24 | Ray | 140056 | ||
Acts 4:24, NASB says "Lord, it is You who" and the NKJ says, "Lord, You are God, who". Acts 4:25 differs also between the NASB and NKJ because the NU text includes the words "who by the Holy Spirit". Two questions: Is the Lord an it? Could there be a holy spirit? From the heart, Ray |

71 | What were they rebellious against? | Ps 106:20 | Ray | 139730 | ||
1) What does the image of an ox that eats grass have to do with "their glory"? 2) Does this verse have significance with verse 33? From the heart, Ray |

73 | Stone or stone for 1 Peter 2:4? | 1 Pet 2:6 | Ray | 139316 | ||
The NASB Study Bible has a marginal note of [Or, it] offered in place of the "Him". Thus, "And he who believes in Him [Or, it] shall not be disappointed." I believe that "it" is the better choice since the verse is talking about the "stone". This agrees also with Isaiah 28:16, "Therefore thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes [in it] will not be disturbed.'" My question involves a similar decision involving agreement of words like "stone" with "it". For 1 Peter 2:4, where it speaks of "coming to Him" should we not have a capitalized "Stone" for agreement? Or, because it was rejected by men, should we leave stone in the lower case? Perhaps we can come to Him [as to] a living stone. What do you think? Stone or stone? From the heart, Ray |

74 | Presented before Him, complete in Him | Rom 8:11 | Ray | 139157 | ||
In looking at Romans 8:11, I have learned to compare it with Colossians 1:27. When we have His (Spirit) indwelling us, then we are proclaiming Him and are completed in (Christ). Would this be a good Scripture "match"? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
75 | Holy Spirit or holy spirit; (s)Spirit? | 1 Pet 4:6 | Ray | 139078 | ||
We often tag groups or denominations as being apostate and renegade. We sometimes do not keep in mind that they may have some things right and we may have some things wrong. In regard to 1 Peter 4:6 and in regard to our beliefs in the Holy Spirit and the holy spirit, in our beliefs in the Spirit and the spirit; which version do you go with for the verse? From the heart, Ray |

76 | For lack of a Shepherd? | Ezek 34:2 | Ray | 138974 | ||
I'm thinking of Jesus as the "Good Shepherd". John 10:14, "I am the *Good *Shepherd, and I know my own, and My own know Me." Is this not the same Shepherd of the 23rd Psalm? Psalm 23:1, "The Lord is my Shepherd,/ I shall not want." I would like to compare Ezekiel 34 with John 10 and talk about the Shepherd. Ezekiel 34:5, "And they were scattered for lack of a *Shepherd,/ and they became food for every beast of the field and were scattered." Ezekiel 34:8, "...My flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of a *Shepherd,/ and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed (My) flock." Contrast John 10:14, "I am the Good Shepherd; and I/ know My own and My own know (Me)." Is this not the same Shepherd?; both OT and new? From the heart, Ray |
||||||
77 | Stone or stone? Him or it? | 2 Cor 4:1 | Ray | 138894 | ||
1 Peter 2:6 quotes Isaiah 28:16, "Therefore thus say the Lord God, 'Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in [it] will not be disturbed.'" The marginal note in the NASB has for the word disturbed [Lit. in a hurry]. The NKJ for the last sentence reads, "...Whoever believes will not act hastily." Question: The Greek for 1 Peter 2:6 has the word "kataischuno", Strong's #2617, from 2596 and 153; to put to shame, to disgrace. Are disbelievers ashamed of "it" or "Him"? Are they disobedient to the "word" or to the "Word"? From the heart, Ray |

78 | God is our Rock; is He our (s)Stone? | Ps 54:7 | Ray | 137888 | ||
I am considering whether I should capitalize God as my Helper. However, I was offered another verse to consider and am wondering what the feeling is about the Shepherd, the Stone of Genesis 49:24. Genesis 49:24, KJ, "But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the might God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel;)" Genesis 49:24, NKJ, "But his bow remained in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong By the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob (From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel), 25 By the God of your father who will help you, And by the Almighty who will bless you..." Is God the Shepherd and the Stone? From the heart, Ray |

79 | Ps 54:4, "Behold, God is my (h)Helper | Ps 54:7 | Ray | 137866 | ||
Is God our Helper? Psalm 54:7, For it [His name] has delivered me from all trouble..." | ||||||
80 | Yet you are a man and not (g)God? | Ezek 28:2 | Ray | 137809 | ||
Ezekiel 28:2, KJ, "Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up and thou has said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:" I would suggest a comparison of this verse with 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 and Psalm 82:1, "God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers [Lit. gods]. I agree with the NASB in its interpretation of this verse. I am looking for any discussion on the quote in the verse, "I am a god, I sit in the seat of gods, In the heart of the seas";..."
