Bible Note: Ray I'm afraid you got tangled in my typo. I meant to say I don't think Son of Man should be capitalized here. As I said capitalization to me talks of deity. I think this passage is making a comparison between God and man. I bleieve the reference to son of man is referring to a natural man rather than the Son of Man (Jesus). I say this because Jesus never had to repent and again in this passage it is making a comparison between God and man that had to repent. I think the passage should read "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent;..." not as your stated "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a Son of Man, that He should repent;..." I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, sometimes I can type faster than I can think. Is that good or bad? EdB |
