Bible Question:
I don't understand what you are trying to say.. for he says.. Is just me typing.. Excuse me for not spell checking.. He is GOD ..the only true saying Is. 45:5 - "I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God...I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me," What are you implying.. When I asked if Have I intepreted it correctly. This is a christian forum.. I am a new christian ..I just want some confirmation from my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.?? |
Bible Answer: Hi Noveta, You received confirmation from Tim for your understanding or interpreting what he was saying. He agreed that you were understanding the Scriptures. My comments were on the interpretation of the Isaiah 45:5 passage using capitalization of Deity. By the inclusion of "for he says" in my remarks I was putting that phrase in context for going from verse 6 to your quote of verse 5. (By the way, you had gone from talking about the devil to your typing "for he says".) My point is that in order to know Him we have to acknowledge Him as God and we do that by capitalizing. 1) The one thing I would possibly say about your post that you were asking confirmation for: you said that we should follow Jehovah. Jesus said also "Follow Me". 2) As far as Jehovah being the true God: I think that we could consider 1 John 5:20, "And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding, in order that we might know (Him) who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God/ and eternal life." The Jehovah's Witnesses are proud to know Him by His name Jehovah. In contrast we learn by the Isaiah passage that the Lord, the God of Israel calls us by our name as well. Isaiah 45:4b, "...I have also called you by your name; I have given you a title of honor Though you have not known (Me). 5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known Me./" The One/ who is not known can be compared/contrasted to the one true God/ and eternal life. From the heart, Ray |
