Quote:Hi Chuck,
in 1Tim. 2:5, the Peshitta reads: For there is one God, and one mediator between
God and men, the man Jesus Christ
That is so very clear, on one hand God and on the other hand the man Yeshua!
Nothing else is Shaul saying in 1 Corinthians:
Therefore I want you to understand that no man
speaking by the Spirit of God calls Yeshua accursed;
and that no man can say that Yeshua is the LORD but
by the Holy Spirit.
Yeshua is our Lord (Master) not our God!
Mic,
Have you looked at 1 Corinthians 12:3 in The Aramaic Peshitta?
There is a word in Aramaic which means only "Master"...and the word found in 1 Corinthians 12:3 is not it. Please go to Dukrhana.com and look up the verse and study that word and tell me what you find. I would love to discuss it with you.
And of course there is only One God, and One Man, who is the Mediator between God and Mankind. He is The Messiah, The Word of God, who is both with God, and is God at the same time (John 1:1)...He was made flesh at the appointed time, for our salvation.
The Church of the East understands this rightly. That in Christ, there are 2 natures, one Divine and one Human, The Messiah is both, in one Person. He is both God, as to His divinity (Divine Nature), and Man as to His Humanity (Human Nature). He is thus 100% God and 100% Man, in ONE Person, The Father and The Son, Eternally United in The Holy Spirit, through which, they are dwelling in and present with/in their Temple...The People of YHWH.
Shlama,
Chuck
