Subject: God is everywhere? |
Bible Note: Hi graceful, I thought in my mind that the comparison between Genesis and John were notable in word content. Personally, I saw a "contrast" in Persons for the passages. 1) In Genesis 18 we see the Angel and the other two angels doing the work of God. You had expressed it to be your understanding that the angels had come down; so I tried to express that whether it was angels, angels and Angel, or God Himself, if we receive whomever He sends we receive Him. 2) The John 2:23-25 passage to my mind deals more with the Person of God and His signs [being accomplished by the Son of God]. Whether it is translated "He Himself" in verse 25 or simply "He knew what was in man" it to my mind is talking about the God/Man. 3) As far as the contrast in righteousness and justice is concerned, I only meant that Jesus in doing the signs of God was keeping the way of the Lord as a chosen One. The contrast is between Sodom and Gomorrah and us and this Man Jesus Christ. I hope I clarified my response to you. From the heart, Ray |
