Bible Note: Hi Stokeyhk, Thank you for your participation and your Scripture references. May I say first of all that I am considering the capitalization of "man" and so we should stay away from all capitals in our posts. All capitals doesn't allow for any distinction either way. I am not alone in thinking of Him as a Man, as indicated by the rendering of your 1 Timothy reference in the NKJ. 1 Timothy 2:5, NKJ, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus." I notice that you do not capitalize pronouns since you have written "he was", and "he is". And that is all right because many good people and good writers do the same. But I thank you for the 1 Corinthians reference and for the "he...spirit" connnection for it leads me to reconsider that passage. The "he" of that passage is the last Adam. This "second Man is the Lord from heaven" according to 1 Cor 15:47, NKJ. You have caused me to consider capitalizing life-giving spirit. Consider John 6:63, "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life." From the heart, Ray |
