Bible Note: Hi compudex, You said, "Ah, that is the whole point, did THEY know they were being taught by God?" So, YOU knew in your pretend story to capitalize "He preaches" because you know the Man (the Guy, the Fellow).

But you would say that THEY would say as did the scribes, Matthew 9:3, "And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes."

But I would say as does the NKJ, "And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, "This Man blasphemes."

1) 1 Corinthians 1:13 entered my mind for this discussion. "Has Christ been divided?" In the context, the brethren were quarreling among them about which MAN they were from. "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ." ***I intentionally put MAN in all caps so that you can decide to put it in lower or upper case. Is there a difference between these men and the Man Jesus Christ?

The writer goes on and asks "Is Christ divided?" NKJ. Paul explains that a man was not crucified for you. You were not baptized in the name of a man. And verse 14 says that he thanked God that no one was baptized into Paul's name. ( No one was of Paul)

But I think it of interest also that some ancient manuscripts want to leave "God" out of verse 14. I believe that that fact points out the quarrel. The bottom line is that we are baptized in the name of God; and God is not divided.

2) Continuing in that line of thought, can we here in Matthew 13:55 say, "We are of the carpenter's son." Can we divide God on the pages of Scripture and say, here he is a man, and here he is the Man?

Luke 11:17; Matthew 12:25; John 13:3; Luke 9:47. Jesus knew men. He knew their thoughts. He knows our thoughts. Even though men may not know Him, He is who He is. Luke 9:32-36. Luke 9:35, "And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, My Chosen/ One; listen to Him!" And when the voice had spoken, (Jesus) was found alone. And they kept silent, and reported to no one in those days any of the things which they had seen." ***I believe that He is the God/Man, God with us.

From the heart, Ray
