Subject: Is Jesus the 'Eternal Father'? |
Bible Note: Hi Nolan, I appreciate the time you have put into comparing these scriptures and translations. I have come to the same conclusions for I study NASB with an occasional reliance on NKJ. I've lost my Amplified version so I'll purchase one. I believe that God, in the scriptures, can be a savior, a rock (a refuge), and a light. But when the scriptures talk of the Way, the Truth, and the Life, the Savior of the world, the Rock, and the Light of the world I think we can know that it is speaking of Deity; the one true God. Here in Luke 2:11 it says, "for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby (sic) wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." NASB Here is a Savior and a baby. The question remains, can He be a Savior and still be a baby? Is God a god? Is the one Man, Jesus Christ, the savior of the world? I believe that He was a Baby, that God is God, and He is the Savior of the world. The sign that the shepherds came to see was that they will find a Baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. That is what they found when they saw the Baby in the manger and "they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child." So yes, I believe that a Child shall be born, a Son shall be given. |
