Subject: Just your interpretation? |
Bible Note: Hi Kalos, Yes, I indeed left out verse four and numbered verse 5 wrongly. Sorry about that. Romans 10:14 I see as a companion verse to Romans 4:5. My questions to you really are inquiring whether you would interpret the verses to mean that the believer "believes in Him" [sic]. How important do you now see the capitalization of pronouns? As you know, I think that it is very important. I have been thinking tonight of 1 Peter 2:6 and Isaiah 28:16. When Jesus was on earth, He was to the one who disbelieved, a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. But to us who believe, He is precious says 1 Peter2:7, NKJ. Isaiah 28:16, "Therefore thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes [in it] will not be disturbed." So the question of interpretation is: Do we believe in a stone or in Him? Romans 4:5, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness." Romans 10:14, "...And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard?" Romans 9:33, "...And he who believes in Him will not be disappointed." How much of a precious value is this Jesus? See 1 Peter 2:7 in NKJ and NASB. From the heart, Ray |
