Bible Note: Dear Ray V.H.: Greetings! I read with interest your posting, "Dear Minister, Thank you for your input..." It is not my intent to take issue with you, but I would just like to point out one or two things.

. . . Regarding your sentence: "Not only then is Jesus the Son of Joseph in the spiritual sense..." I would like to know: Who ever accurately and correctly called Jesus the son of Joseph? Luke 3:23 New King James Version: "Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph..." "*as was supposed.* Luke had already established the fact of the virgin birth (1:34,35); here he made clear once again that Joseph was not Jesus' true father" (p. 1529, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997).

. . . You wrote concerning Adam: "In a sense then, he became a man." I would have to disagree with you. God *created* Adam as a man. I cannot agree that sometime subsequent to his creation, Adam *became* a man, since he was a man from the moment of his creation.

. . . You wrote: "In Adam's case also there didn't have to be a father, just a Creator." Please note what it plainly says in Luke 3:38: "the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God." Repeating: "Adam, the son of God." If one wishes to debate whether the meaning of "Adam, the son of God" is literal or metaphorical, one may do so. But in the Scriptures, when the plain sense makes good sense, seek no other sense, lest it be nonsense.
. . . (Yet it is true that not every statement in Scripture was meant to be taken literally. No one can deny that often Scripture uses figurative language. Care must be taken to distinguish the figurative from the literal. Notice that in the above paragraph, I did not say "literal sense." To be safe, I prefer to use the term "the plain sense.")
. . . Again, thank you for a most interesting posting. In Christ, JVH0212
