Bible Note: Greetings Ben! First of all, I note that you ignored my question about Jehovah's statements in Isaiah. Secondly, BeDuhn's translation of Phil. 2:6 would make no sense at all. Notice what the verse says, "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped," The verse begins with an affirmation that Jesus already possed the nature of God. It then progresses on to His becoming a man. No matter how one tries to twist 'harpazmo', the first clause makes it clear that the 'equality' with God was already His. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
