Subject: This is the Bread? |
Bible Note: Ray, I certainly would not have any objection to capitalizing Bread of God in appropriate circumstances, though I suspect it is unnecessary in catholic Bibles and would be opposed by publishers of Protestant Bibles whose main audience holds a completely different interpretation of John 6. As for Adam, he had only a human nature, since he was a creation and not uncreated like the eternally pre-existing Son who became Jesus. There is a song in the easter Vigil Liturgy referring to Adam's fall that says "Oh happy fault" because it was that fault which lead to our Redemption by Christ assuming our human nature and allowing us to become "partakers of the divine nature." It is something to ponder about God's plan. As for John 6:33, the NAB and RSV are as the NASB. I am not a Greek scholar, so perhap Tim Moran could comment on the personal pronoun used or implied in this veres. Was it neuter or masculine or is it ambiguous in the Greek and determined by the context or the gender of the word bread according to Greek grammar. Emmaus |
