Bible Question:
As a counter of pronouns of Deity and a person who capitalizes words of Deity, and also as one who loves the NASB and regards it as a good literal translation, I have this question. For John 6:61 the NASB has only two pronouns. The NKJ and the three Interlinears available to me have four pronouns. I believe that this verse should be reconsidered by the Lockman Foundation. I believe that it is a key verse in interpretting verse 63 and understanding the statement of Jesus in John 6:48. There to my mind he was saying, "I am the Bread of life." This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it? From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Sorry, didn't think to submit this to you instead of Tim. Sometimes I amaze myself with a new level in thick headedness. Duh? Matt 15:10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, "Hear and understand: 11Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." 12Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" 13But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." 15Then Peter answered and said to Him, "Explain this parable to us." 16So Jesus said, "Are you also still without understanding? 17Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man." Now we know that people don't literally eat Jesus' body as bread or nourishment for our body, but instead He's saying that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness so much as to read every Word of God, they are the ones who will truly live in the life hereafter. So here we see that Jesus really is the Word of God (John 1) and thus we (His children) must take in all of what He says or at least do our very best AND obey. This is the only way I can see an answer to this question. Would you have a different answer? Of course you might want to wait until you get a sufficient number of responses. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy PS: Of course, as you can imagine I don't believe in the concept of transubstaintion (sp?), the idea of communion emblems turning into the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ. |
