NASB | Genesis 6:7 The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 6:7 So the LORD said, "I will destroy (annihilate) mankind whom I have created from the surface of the earth--not only man, but the animals and the crawling things and the birds of the air--because it [deeply] grieves Me [to see mankind's sin] and I regret that I have made them." |
Subject: Gen 6:7 and Num 23:19 contradictory? |
Bible Note: Hi Nolan, I happened upon this thread and thought I might make a comment. And as you would expect from me, it will center around the capitalization of Deity. I doubt if "THE CROSS" will get anything from this but here goes. "Risen" should be interested in it because He knows the Truth. In Genesis, the Lord grieved over sin and its consequences, not over any mistake He had made. The comment I would make would be about Numbers 23:19 and the fact of God not being a man, nor a son of man. We have talked together about the Prophet Jesus and the Child who was born to us. We see Him as a Man and as the Truth. But here in Numbers it says that He is not "a son of man, that He should repent." In this lower case it is saying to me that God was not Joseph's son when He came to earth. It also tells me that He will make it good and won't turn from it. See Jer 4:28 But the verse says that He is "not" a son of man. How confusing is that when we know that Scripture says that the Son of Man came to save that which was lost. Or the KJV says that the Son of man came. Here in Numbers it says that God was not a Son of Man in my mind. Jesus was not a man, that He should lie when He said He was the Son of God. Nor was Jesus (God) a Son of Man, that we should think of God as the "Big Man in the sky". God is Spirit. So, Nolan, I think that Jesus was more than a Prophet, more than the Son of Man (the perfect Man), He was God Himself (Spirit) in human flesh. |
