Bible Note: I totally believe it exactly as it is written. But I ask how can one read that and conclude that it addresses the incarnation directly? How can one read that and conclude it addresses the current glorified state of our Lord? One can't conclude it addresses these things unless it become a proof text of a set of things that aren't true. So if the text is true (and it is true) it can't be talking about things that it doesn't address, “the same yesterday and today and forever”, makes no attempt to say the state of our Risen Savior is the same as the eternal Word (Jo 1:1-12). It must be talking about something else -- namely that Jesus is God and that His character and personality and eternality and perfections are permanent. He is to be relied on as God nothing less! Praise God! |
