Subject: Where in Matthew is "one man" mentioned? |
Bible Note: Hi mommapbs, I pondered these verses. 1) Acts 17:27, "that they should seek (God), if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though *He is not far from each one of us;..." Deut 4:7, "For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on *Him?" 2) Acts 17:28, "for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your poets have said, 'For we also are *His offspring.' Being then the offspring of God/..." Deut.4:32, "Indeed, ask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the day that *God created man [Or, Adam] on the earth, and inquire from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it? Has any people heard the voice of God/ speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived?" Luke 3:23, "And when He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being supposedly the son [I would say "being as supposed the Son"] of Joseph, the [son] of Eli,...38 the [son] of Enosh, the [son] of Seth, the [son] of Adam, the [son] of God./" Is Adam the son or the Son of God? I believe that the first Adam was the [son] of God. Was Jesus the son of Joseph or the God and Father of Joseph? I believe that this Jesus, the last Adam, was the Son of Joseph, the heavenly Man. 3) Jeremiah 23:23, "Am I a God/ who is near," declares the Lord, "And not a God far off? "Can a man hide himself in hiding places, So (I) do not see him?" declares the Lord. "Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the Lord?" Ephesians 4:4, "There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord,/ one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of (Christ's) gift." What does all that suggest to you? (Of course all the parentheses and slashes and stars are mine for comparisons. The brackets are also mine.) From the heart, Ray |
