My version (Revised Standard Version) says it differently:Okay, then this is a major point of disagreement. I am getting to the point here with these questions. This is what I needed to know, and this helps to tell me why you believe that Jesus is the Father.
Do you think there could be possibly more than one person who is YHWH, the one and only God? This is the major question.
There appear to be more than one Person who is YHWH in some Scriptures...such as what appears to be going on here in Zecharaiah 12:10 (NASB):
"I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
I have no idea. Maybe it was something that we selected when we joined the forums. Of the many choices to pick from for religion, "Methodist" and "United Methodist" were probably listed separately.
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication, so that, when they look on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a first-born. Zech 12:10 RSV
But let’s go with your version. I don’t want to read everything that leads up to this verse, but a quick glance suggests to me he is taking about the House of David.
