Subject: When is it time to say no? |
Bible Note: Ray, Mat 1:1(KJV) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Mat 1:1 NASB) The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham: These verses are using "the son" relationaly, not directly as David's son or Abraham's son. Therefore we could (in this case) replace "son" with "seed" which it actually means because the subject is the genealogy of Christ not Christ Himself. Pertaining to John 7:43 the verse IS referring to Him (the Son of God) and the verse is a narrative not a quote spoken directly by a specific indivdual. Jesus was not the Son of Joseph (of the NT). So we don't get into looking at every verse in the Scriptures I would say this: Read in context what was being said and by whom. Put yourself into the position of that person speaking with the understanding that that person had "at that time". We have the whole Bible today, they didn't. We know who Jesus was at that time, they didn't. Don't take what is known today and put it into the mouths of those yesterday. Ray, I don't see any division here. Jesus is my Lord and Jesus is your Lord the same Lord and the same Spirit. This matter does not affect our faith in God. compudex |
