NASB | Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. |
Bible Question: Do you not still believe He is visible and touchable? |
Bible Answer: Dear inhzsvc, Yes, in a metaphorical sense we can touch, taste, smell, hear, and see Jesus. These would seem to come under the awareness of the soul that is turned toward Him. In a spiritual sense, we can know Jesus, and His salvation. Our faith works in this realm, a spirit-to-Spirit relationship. As to the fleshly, physical sense, no, Jesus is at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. He has sent His Spirit to indwell the church, causing us to be the body of Christ, which is beautiful to behold. But individual people and subdivisions of the church are not Jesus, and often poor reflections of our Savior. Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
