Bible Question:
This is a question about 1 John 5:6,7 in the NASB or 1 John 5:6 in the NKJ. It is a revisited question because I was studying the word "it" today. 1 John 5:7, "And it is the Spirit who bears witness..." Question #1, "Is the Spirit an it?" John 4:10, "...If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you..." Question #2, "Is Jesus an it?" John 14:8, "...Lord, show us the Father and it is enough for us." Question #3, "Is the Father an it?" From the heart, Ray |
Bible Answer: Hi, I would like to offer my interpretation of these verses once more and then move on. 1 John 5:7, "And the Spirit is the One who bears witness..." John 4:10, "If you knew the gift of God, and who He is who says to you..." John 14:8, "Lord, show us the Father and it is enough for us." Here in this verse, perhaps being shown is enough. 1) Another verse to look at for the question of "Is the Father an it?" would be Psalm 95:5. Psalm 95:3, NASB, "For the Lord is a great God, And a great King above all gods, 4 In whose hand are the depths of the earth; The peaks of the mountains are His also. 5 The sea is His, for *it was He who made it; And His hands formed the dry land." Psalm 95:5, NKJ, "The sea is His, for *He made it; And His hands formed the dry land." From the heart, Ray |
