Subject: Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? |
Bible Note: Hi Nolan, I have just a few thoughts about Acts 18 and I don't know if I can tie them into this Isaiah thread or not. We may have to go into another tree for our discussion. The tie in of my thoughts would be with Acts 18:28 where it says that Apollos was "demonstrating by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ." He was the Child prophecied in Isaiah 9:6. My thought concerning capitalization and Acts 18:25-28 was that the reality of Jesus being the Messiah could very possibly have not been fully realized by Apollos before Priscilla and Aquila heard him speak and "took him aside". Apollos was "mighty in the scriptures" so he spoke from the scriptures. Something he said did not perfectly fit; it was accurate as far as he went, but there was still more that he could learn from the scriptures he used. Priscilla and Aquila "explained to him the way of God more accurately." The versions that we are using more accurately tell the Messianic Psalms for example. Perhaps they were his "text". In any case, something was explained more accurately; and he began to demonstrate by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ. It was in the sense of being more accurate that I saw a connection with capitalization. One thing about the "way of God" is that it is the way of love and there is a connection with believing through grace in this passage. I don't believe right now that they talked about the Way of God. What do you think? Is there any new scripture tree you want to go to? |
