61 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Ray | 151802 | ||
Hi Tim, Have you considered a "through which" for Romans 1:5. Could the antecedent be the "gospel" of God of verse one? From the heart, Ray |

62 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Ray | 151800 | ||
Hi BradK, I agree with you in that we both appear to go with the NASB for Romans 1:4 in its placement of "Jesus Christ our Lord". As far as the birth of His Son [sic] is concerned; if we keep the Son capitalized as is the Son of God, then the flesh and the Spirit of (h)Holiness are not in opposition. That is the mystery and wonder of the incarnation; that He can be both Man and God. That is the gospel of God for which we as saints are set apart. 1) I learned tonight that another word (instead of "declared" or "appointed" to be the Son of God), would be "marked out". Green's Literal Version translates it thus. It has the idea of Strong's #3724, "horizo; from the same as 3725; to mark off by boundaries, to determine:--appointed(2), declared(1), determined(3), fixes(1), pre-determined(1)." He was "determined" to be the Son of God. From the heart, Ray |

63 | Both spirit and Spirit present within us | Rev 2:28 | Ray | 151682 | ||
Hi Tim, My next question then for you is, "The "through (w)Whom" is speaking of Whom? The NASB has Jesus Christ our Lord in proximity there; and I now note that the NKJ has Jesus Christ our Lord in verse 3. So is the "through (w)Whom" talking about the Spirit of Holiness or is it concerning His Son who was born according to the flesh? From the heart, Ray |

64 | Why can we not just be Christians? | 1 Pet 1:2 | Ray | 151661 | ||
Hi Angel, Thank you for your encouragement. 2 Corinthians 6:1, "And working together with Him, we also urge you not to receive the grace of (God) in vain--" Hebrews 10:29, "...and has insulted the (Spirit) of grace?" 1) Hebrews 10:38, "But (My) righteous one shall live by faith;..." Romans 1:17, "For in it the righteousness of (God) is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith." Romans 8:37, "But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through (Him) who loved us." Colossians 1:28, "And we proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in (Christ)." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Tim, Which version do you go with for Romans 1:4,5? The NKJ does not have "Jesus Christ our Lord" and the NKJ has a "through Him" instead of the "through whom" of the NASB. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Hank, Am I to understand that you see no similarities in the Scripture references I quoted and the placement of the parentheses? Where were you, Hank, when I first used parentheses in 04-01-01? Where were you from then to very recently, having made no comment about it whatsoever. From the heart, Ray |

Hi Angel, Romans 1:29 was probably the verse that Not Yet had in mind. Here are verses that I would tie together after reading the discussion on this thread. Romans 1:22, "Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible (God) for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures." 2 Peter 3:14, "Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by (Him) in peace, spotless and blamesless," 2 Thess 3:4, "And we have confidence in the (Lord) concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command." John 4:25, "...(He) will declare all things to us." John 5:40, "and you are unwilling to come to (Me) that you may have life." John 6:65, "And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you that no one can come to (Me) unless it has been granted him from the Father." Ephesians 5:24, "But as the church is subject to (Christ), so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything." 2 Corinthians 5:20, "Therefore, we are ambassadors for (Christ)..." Colossians 2:6, "As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in (Him)," Colossians 3:1, "If then you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of (God). 2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth." Romans 8:16, "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of (God)," The parentheses are mine for comparisons. From the heart, Ray |

71 | Walking in the light of the Lord. | Eph 5:8 | Ray | 151514 | ||
Hi WOS, You wrote, "Hear the word bother." I sense by what you write and the restriction placed on our conversation that I am regarded as more of a "bother" than a brother. :) However, I say again that the Word (God) is not an it, and when I hear an audio rendition of the word of God I will hear the words. It is important to know that we not only have the words of God, but we have the historical Jesus who was God in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16, "And by common confession great is the mystery of godliness: He/ [Marginal note, Some later mss. read God] who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Beheld by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory." 2 John 1:6, "And this is love, that we walk according to (His) commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it. 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ AS COMING IN THE FLESH. This is the deceiver and the anitchrist." 1 John 4:2, "By this you know the *spirit of (God): every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ HAS COME IN THE FLESH is from God; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. 4 You are from God/, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." I have put a * with *spirit because I interpret it differently from the NASB. The parentheses and the ALL CAPS are mine for comparisons. I trust that we can still have a good conversation. See also 1 Tim 3:5, Romans 9:6, Hebrews 6:5, Mark 3:30. From the heart, Ray |

72 | Using Job 34:32 to understand 35:3? | Job 34:32 | Ray | 151468 | ||
Hi terrib, I agree with you. Yet both the NKJ and the NASB have a capitalized You. Although, in fairness to the NASB it has in the marginal note [Or, you]. We should say to (God), "Teach me what I do not see." Job34:32 "But no one says, "Where is God my (Maker), Who gives songs in the night, 11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?'" From the heart, Ray |

73 | Walking in the light of the Lord. | Eph 5:8 | Ray | 151457 | ||
Hi WOS, I loved your parenthesis (Unless you are prone to being particular about pronunciation). Don't worry, if I listen to the Bible on tape I would not worry about pronunciation. I can give you something else about me to worry about if you'd like. I count the pronouns. You may have noted my posts on the prayers in the Scriptures and how I have found that many have nouns and pronouns of Deity that have a total that is divisible by three. I have expressed the feeling that that underscores the triunity of God. I have written that I found the first chapter of Genesis to have words of Deity that are divisible by three. In fact, I have the book of Genesis in my personal copy penciled in with choices which lead to a division of three; just as an example. I haven't been anxious to encourage anyone to do what I have done because it is time consuming and can become obsessive. :)) Just ask my wife and my psychologists and marriage counsellors. I can say all this because my time on the forum may be short in many possible ways. I have been warned about speaking about the "holy spirit" as being divisive. So now I can speak more about my "counting" and not worry about capitalization for a while. You can put everything in lower case or upper case, but let me "count" the words that I choose. A comparison of Ephesians 5:8, "...but now you are light in the **Lord; walk as children of light..." can be made with Genesis as an example. Genesis 5:22, "Then Enoch walked with (God)...24 And Enoch walked with **God; and he was not, for God took him." Genesis 6:8, "But Noah found favor in the eyes of the (Lord)...9...Noah walked with **God Genesis 17:1, "Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God/ Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless [Lit., complete, perfect; or, having integrity]. 2 And (I) will establish [Lit., give] **My covenant..." Genesis 48:15, NKJ, "And he blessed Joseph, and said, "God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The (God) who has fed me all my life long to this day, 16 The **Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads;..." This last reference is another prayer in the Scriptures that is divisible by three in my mind. The ** and parentheses are mine and are for comparison. (The parentheses have numerical significance to me.) I hope this gives you enough to worry about in your concern for me. :)) From the heart, Ray |

74 | Walking in the light of the Lord. | Eph 5:8 | Ray | 151435 | ||
The 1977 copyright of the NASB for Ephesians 5:8 had lower case renderings for the word "light". The 1995 copyright as you can see above has the word "Light" capitalized for both occurances. Personally, I feel that we should see in our capitalization choices the difference between the Light of the world, (the Son of God) and us as sons of God and as lights in the world. I see Ephesians 5:8, NASB,1977, as a companion verse for Isaiah 2:5. We are to walk as light in the Lord. Ephesians 5:7, NASB, 1977, "Therefore do not be partakers with them; 8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), 10 trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord." Isaiah 2:5, "Come, house of Jacob, and let us walk in the light of the Lord." Isaiah 60:1, "Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. 2 For behold, darkness will cover the earth, And deep darkness the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you, And His glory will appear upon you. 3 And nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising." John 9:5, "While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world." 1 John 1:5, 1995, NASB, "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all."

75 | The fear of the Lord is his treasure? | Is 33:6 | Ray | 151430 | ||
Hi Mark, Do you think of this verse as a treasure? Which translation do you think is second guessing? When you speak of "letting the Holy Spirit move in me" what verse are you thinking of? From the heart, Ray |

76 | The fear of the Lord is his treasure? | Is 33:6 | Ray | 151414 | ||
Hi Mark, Thank you for your interest. I am not knowledgeable in Hebrew nor Greek to any great degree. I do not have access to textual evidence nor knowledge of all the manuscript choices. I do believe that the translators need to be more consistent in their inclusion of pronouns from book to book or in Paul's letter to letter. For instance, in the NKJ 1 Timothy 6:16 reads, "...to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen." The same Greek pronoun reads "To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!" in the NKJ for 2 Timothy 4:18. I believe that they can be more consistent in their translating. The NASB has "To Him be the glory" in both cases of 1 and 2 Timothy. I personally have chosen "to whom be the glory" for both cases. :) So I would hope that the translators would conform to a more consistent pattern of pronoun usage. 1) Now there are also recurring "patterns" that I have noted in my particular study method. These will influence some of my choices. For instance whether to capitalize "Light" in 1 Timothy 6:16. Or whether to seek a consistent usage in the Scriptures of "who alone" or "the only One" who possesses immortality. I hope this helps you understand where I am coming from. From the heart, Ray |

Hi fborn, I know that you don't always put your posts in ALL CAPS; so I don't know if you are shouting at me or not. :) One of the Scriptures that is alluded to in your post is John 5:18, "For this cause therefore the Jews were seeking all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God." We should not think that we can be equal with God. Jesus was God's Son; we are only adopted sons. Personally, I go with the NASB for Isaiah 33:6. Yet, I go with the NKJ for Isaiah 33:10, "Now I will rise," says the Lord; "Now I will be exalted, Now I will lift Myself up." From the heart, Ray |

Hi Kalos, It has been years since I responded to the post that mentioned what you are writing about. I believe that I thought the person writing it was not following his convictions and was non-courageous in not capitalizing. From the heart, Ray |
