Subject: Genesis 11:7 Who is "Us"? |
Bible Note: Hello? Is anybody home or are you too filled up to hear another opinion? When a person is all filled up with what they THINK they know, then obviously they can not learn anything new? What I express here are my OPINIONS and it is too bad that one of us appears to be closed off. You are not accurate in your attack, Take a breath and I will explain. First of all, what do you mean we are not talking about translations?? This is exactly what we are talking about... Why do you think there are so many different denominations? Because people receive things differently (even though it is written the same) HOWEVER, THERE ARE many translation discrepancies between the different Bible versions!! I am sorry if you think I am making this up. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand what I am saying. In fact, I am not even sure what you are so upset about in the first place but to get one thing clear, yes there is only ONE GOD as you put it BUT THIS ONE GOD consists of God himself, Jesus, the Son of God, And the Holy Spirit (AKA The Trinity). You said, “We are not talking about translation discrepancies, but rather what is clearly stated in nearly every book…” This is exactly what I am talking about and the key to your comment is in your word ‘nearly’ I’m sorry you did not understand my comment ”just knowing” what Jesus or God wants. I will explain myself. Yes the Bible is the Truth and the word of God as it was understood by the people who were inspired to write it. What I mean is that when one studies the Bible he or she receives what is written. Now when this person is unclear as to what God means, he should pray about it and the truth and clarification will be made available to him. Now image this… Let’s pretend God “SPEAKS” to you. Let’s say He show’s you an object and talks to you about it. Now I would image that he may or may not use only “spoken words” HE may also use pictures or images, could He not? Ok if we are in agreement for a moment – now I would like for you to look at a piece of wood furniture there in your home. Notice the intricate detail of the grains in the wood, the color, texture, shape, etc. You obviously see and KNOW what you are looking at right? Now I would like for you to describe for me in spoken (or obviously ‘for this example’ written) words what you are looking at so that I too will see exactly what you are looking at, which will allow me to see the very same image as you see it… |
