Bible Question: they are and after futher reading of both ezekiel 34 and john I see the what your point is Knowing that the answer was somewhat obvious was there something that you read or interpeted that led you to believe something else? |
Bible Answer: Hi nickycan1, The point that I like to make in my posts is that Jesus is God. That He came in the likeness of men, but is the Man, Jesus Christ. He is a shepherd who feeds us and cares for us, but He is the Shepherd. So, you see, I have a preocupation with capitalization of Deity. Perhaps you will not have much interest in all of this because you are not concerned with capitalization at all. Ezekiel 34 talks of "My flock" and so I think that verses 5, 8, and even verse 12 should have a capitalized Shepherd. In verse 23 we see the introduction of the one shepherd [sic], "My servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd." So you see, we are men, but God is God. Ezekiel 34:31, "As for you, My sheep, the sheep of My pasture, you are men, and I am your God," declares the Lord God." From the heart, Ray |
