Bible Question:
Brain teaser 2; "Who am I" prayer of David. 1 Chronicles 17:16 and 2 Samuel 7:18 record the "Who am I" prayer of David. With one small change this prayer can be shown to be a prayer to a Triune God; in the sense that the pronouns total are divisible by three. How important would that be to you or any person considering the Deity of Christ? The change that would have to be made to make the pronouns divisible by three would be to interpret 1 Chronicles 17:20 "neither is there any god besides Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears." In order to get this result, and for ease in counting capitalized pronouns, go to your NASB. My question is, "How important is it to you?" |
Bible Answer: My answer is: "Not very." Instead of trying to find secret messages/codes/numerological minutiae somewhere hidden in Scripture, why don't you actually read and study the text itself. Want to show that God is Triune? You don't need some kind of crackpot way of doing it. Read the Gospel of John, Hebrews 1, Colossians 1, Philippians 2, Revelation 1 and 19 and 20 and a whole host of other passages. By the way, there is no capitalization in the original Hebrew, which has no copyrights, as far as I can tell. It is lunacy like this which lends to even greater lack of credibility of evangelical Christianity to the world... --Joe! |
