Subject: I need verses that say God is the ONLY 1 |
Bible Note: Hi Shelley, The homework should be accomplished now after your list. I believe that your list is all from the NIV? I have a point to make and yet another encouragement to the forum members to study with a version that capitalizes Deity pronouns. In my post, I was telling ineedmajorhelp that God is the one and only God. Yes, there are other gods and lords and idols made with their hands, but there is only one God. The version that you have chosen to quote Isaiah 45:14, "Surely God is with you, and there is no other; there is no other god" is at variance with the two that I use that capitalize pronouns of Deity, the NASB and NKJ. Isaiah 45:14, NASN, "Surely, God is with you, and there is none else; No other God." Isaiah 45:14, NKJ, "Surely God is in you, And there is no other; There is no other God." 1) Mark 12:32: This verse tells us again that there is one God and that there is no other. The verse is of interest to me because of the number of pronouns in the various translations. The NASB reads "And the scribes said to Him, "Right, Teacher, You have truly stated that He is One; and there is no one else besides Him." Mark 12:32, NKJ, "So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He." So the versions are expressing either that "He is one God" or that "He is One". In other words, they are expressing the same things in the verse while using a different number of pronouns. 2) Mark 12:29, "Jesus answered, "The foremost is 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;" Mark 12:29, NKJ, "Jesus answered him, "The first of the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.'" Personally, right now I have penciled in my own personal copy as going with the NASB "He is One, and there is no one else besides Him." What do you think? What is Jesus saying in the context of the passage? From the heart, Ray |
