Bible Note: Tim: The literal translation is "in the form of God." Your references to Isaiah are convoluted and I've seen this attempt to entrap those who view Jehovah as the only God and Jesus as his firstborn Son. The answer again is found in the Bible. Jehovah himself had called Moses "god" if not "God" to Pharaoh and Aaron. I've cited Jesus and Paul's quotes as well already. Isaiah's quote is obviously referring to any other "true God." (See Jesus' prayer at John 17:3) Notice how biased translations always get the capitalization exactly backwards! Coincidence? Jason and millions more think not. Don'taccuse the NW of twisting 'harpazmo.' That's a boldface falsehood. |
