Subject: Man or man? |
Bible Note: Hi EdB, I agree with your thoughts here today, and would add my "Amen" to the ones you have received already. I appreciate that you see God as coming to earth in the appearance as a Man. I see Jesus as being fully God and fully Man. If one sees Jesus as fully God in one instance and fully man [sic] in another, then your example at the end of your second paragraph would be "and fully man only when *he was experiencing humanity". I agree with the NASB in capitalizing nouns and pronouns concerning Jesus regardless of how He is perceived by the people. Philippians 2:8, "And being found in appearance as a (Man), He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death on a cross. 9 Therefore also **God highly exalted *Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus/ every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess Jesus Christ as (Lord), to the glory of God the Father." Psalm 22:22, "I will tell of Thy name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise (Thee). 23 You who fear the Lord, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify **Him, and stand in awe of *Him, all you descendants of Israel. Psalm 22:5, "To (Thee) they cried out, and were delivered." Psalm 22:24, "For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Neither has He/ hidden His face from him; But when he cried out to Him for help, (He) heard." Psalm 22:29, "All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before (Him), Even he who cannot keep his soul alive." From the heart, Ray |
