Subject: THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM |
Bible Note: Hi Noble! :) Please read all of my post regarding this. The translation of the words that Tim and I are using is a correct and more of a Spiritual viewpoint, but it does translate as exaltation in the greek. All that you point to and reference I am in agreement with to. As a matter of fact I also point out these references in my previous post... (wondering if you have read those.) I know that Jesus was signifying the way that He would die. Yet He was also speaking of his being EXALTED. Check out the greek translations. The words "If I be lifted up" translates also within the context that Jesus used the words: Whenever I be exalted, Wherever I be exalted, Whosoever exalts Me" Exalts Mine Exalts Mine Own the words He used actualy translate like this too. Exalting His words draws men, whenever we preach that Gospel we are exalting him before the world. So again I say There is much biblical bases for saying LORD I EXALT YOUR NAME. As I said before It is the only Name that a man call call upon and be saved, demons tremble at the very sound of that Name, it is a Name exalted above all others. I will forever exalt and magnify the Name of Jesus. You don't know what He's done for me, but He gave me victory... and I love Him, deeply Love Him.... I really love the Lord. And that my dearest friend:) is why I say I lift His Name on High or I exalt His Name. I understand your that "facts" are true and I do agree with them. Always yours in Christ, -Kathy |
