Is that your only defense? You have nothing to say to counter the original Hebrew and Greek? You can't. It's not possible to counter it with something else unless you make up parts of the bible that aren't there, and translations usually do that. It doesn't matter if you use RSV, NIV, or KJV. The only thing that stands as accurate scripture is the very language it was written in, and the language keeps the first and third person transitional of "me", and "him" - indicating it is the SAME person talking who get's pierced, and we know from the previous verse that it is the Lord God who is talking.
It is in all love that I encourage you to stop your debate, and instead seek out the truth from the perspective of the bible, and not from the perspective of some translator.
... you will never discover truth if you cling to just one or two voices your ears itch to keep hearing because you like it.
Only those who truly seek out the Lord find him.
My ears don't itch, Ed. I listen to everybody and read everything.
ed every translation says the word was God and that he BECAME FLESH.
the word became flesh ed and dwelt among us..that should tell you it became a man this coupled with John the B's words in verses 15 and 30 should tell you its Jesus..its that easy.
Jesus Christ, is the God of the OT.
From the beginning there is only a mention of two beings that said, 'Let US make man in OUR own image.'
Not One, not three, as in a Trinity!
In I Cor it states that it was Christ that was the rock that followed the ancient Israelities in the wilderness. It was also Christ that stated to the Hbebrews that they have NEVER heard God's voice or seen His shape.
Why is it so hard for moderns to put it together that the God of the Old Testament IS the same CHRIST that came to the ancient Israelitites?
Why is it that they CANNOT conceive that the same God that came to the Israelities in the ancient past, is the same one that came in the first century.
ED: "Please show us the verse that says Jesus Christ is the God of the OT. "
LB: how about this..before abraham, I am...that is the name of God in the OT and he applies it to himself.
ED: "What you are saying cannot be true WK because Apostle Peter said that God made Jesus both Lord and Christ (Acts 2:36). "
LB: You're missing the context.
ED: "How then could Jesus Christ have existed before he was exalted to the right hand of God (Acts 2:33)?"
LB:Umm..does God have a right hand, much less a place there? Its an indication of power ed.
ED: "Nobody in his right mind could even think of what you are saying WK because the Bible says there is only one God and that only one God is not a man."
LB: Actually the bible backs up what WK is saying ed.
Ed, show me a verse in which it says Jesus is NOT God and I'll believe you because I have shown you where it says he is God.
