Subject: Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? |
Bible Note: Hi Nolan, Thanks for understanding me so well. I was looking at Isaiah 9:6 again and compared it with Luke 2:17. It pointed out to me the inconsistency that is still in the translators and interpreters of scripture. Again, the capitalization of pronouns is an interpretation. Luke 2:17 talks about a statement about this Child (sic). You have talked about Isa 9:6, "For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;" as being correct in that it shows His humanity. Do you see the inconsistency when compared to Luke, however, where it talks about the Child and how the baby will be wrapped in cloths. and the baby will be found as He lays in the manger? This is the same Child that Isaiah is talking about. In the NASB the child and son are in lower case as is "his kingdom" in Isa 9:7. "His shoulders" is capitalized in verse six along with child and son. I believe we can capitalize all these pronouns and have a better interpretation. Do you agree? Can Jesus be a child and a Child? Can God be a god and a God? Here is one that I think could possibly be answered in the affirmative; Can the Holy Spirit be a spirit and a Spirit? Any comments would be appreciated. |
