Bible Question:
Can one believe that Jesus was raised from the dead and yet refuse to believe in His deity? The word for Lord here troubles me a bit - not being a greek scholar how does kurios (from kuros authority; lord, master) translate to the Godhead? |
Bible Answer: John 10:17-18. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Note. Only God can raise Himsef back from the dead. ebrain. |
