Bible Question: In the book of Hebrews 2:5-9, it talks about us being bright with Edens Dawn Light. Anyone have any idea what that means? I dug in a little and found out that "Eden" means "delight" or "pleasure". |
Bible Answer: Hello Z..., I concur with brother Hank. The Message is not a translation, but rather a loose paraphrase. I rather see it as "muddling" God's Word rather than clarifying it:-( None of the respected translations come up - or conjure up - that phrase. The NASB reads: "But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone." You would have to ask Eugene Peterson, the author of The Message what he was thinking:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
