Subject: Is Jehovah lying? |
Bible Note: Hi fellow worker, In the John 10:32 passage the Jews do not falsely accuse Jesus. I would say that they are recognizing that Jesus being a Man, makes God out to be Man. We know that Jesus taught that God is Spirit, and how can the Creator become a Man? We can hardly comprehend it can we; let alone comprehend that He would come to earth to die for us. 1) You have written that "a god" for John 10:32 would be a more accurate choice because the definite article is lacking. That does not make sense to me, and I think that the opposite is true. "...You, being a Man, make Yourself/God." 2) I have noticed your choice of a lower case "son of God" in your posts although you speak of the Son. I know that you have recognized Luke as talking of the Son of the Most High. So do you recognize the Son of God? How do you interpret John 3:6? Do you think that the Spirit [God] would give birth to a Spirit? Would God give birth to a son or a Son? 3) For looking to the second Person of the trinity for salvation, look at John and 1 John as examples. John 20:31, "but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name." 1 John 5:10, "The one who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness that God has borne concerning His Son. 11 And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son."
