NASB | Jonah 4:2 He prayed to the LORD and said, "Please LORD, was not this what I said while I was still in my own country?

Bible Note: Hi Mark, Thank you for your interest in the question. The capitalization of "One" of course shows the word as speaking of the Deity. The idea is whether God loses His deity if He relents concerning calamity. Is He somehow not God because He can change His mind or regret that He had done something [like making man in the first place]? 1) The idea of Numbers 23:19 is that God is not a man. ****** Numbers 23:19b, "...not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it?..." 1 Samuel 15:29 [correcting a typo in my original question] says that the Glory of Israel will not lie or change His mind; and Numbers 23:19 says, "not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent." Do we not want to capitalize the "Glory" of Israel? Even the KJ has "the Strength of Israel". God is not a man. But I believe that He came in the likeness of men and in appearance as a Man. 2) God is not a son of man; but when He came to earth He was rightly called the Son of Man. Does capitalization matter? You tell me more of your thoughts on the matter. From the heart, Ray |
