Bible Question: Jesus told the rich young ruler that there is none good but God. Is Jesus saying that He is not God? Or is this just another one of His parables? Someone help me out please!(Matt 19:17) |
Bible Answer: Hello humility, I do not think that is a parable, but rather a straight answer. The Name is the same, Jesus said in John 17:11, "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are." Jesus is saying, God gave Him His Name, Jesus. Which is God's Name. Is 25:9 And it will be said in that day, "Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation." You must read in context - Jesus is simply asking a question in response, then making a straightforward statement. Matt 19:16 And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?" Matt 19:17 And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." Matt 19:18 Then he *said to Him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS; Matt 19:19 HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER; and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." wordoer |
