    Are you able to transport yourself back in time in your mind to the year 1599? If you are, imagine that the Bible you are reading is the Geneva Bible. Are you opposed to Christians today reading the Bible of the Protestant Reformation? https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/1599-Geneva-Bible-GNV/

    Jesus is the suffering servant of God.

    See all English translations from Greek to English published prior to 1611. (The Geneva Bible, for example.) How do we harmonize them with this translation? https://studybible.info/Geneva/John “and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages was hidden in God...

    Yes, but Yahweh was not speaking to Yahweh there. God (Yahweh) is speaking to someone who functions as God (Jesus) but who isn’t God himself. God did it with Moses. God did it with Jesus. That’s Jewish monotheism.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Yes. This is an example of God (Yahweh, the God and Father of the Messiah) identifying the Messiah (Jesus of Nazareth) with the title elohim (plural in form, singular in meaning) / God in scripture. Yahweh, God himself, again speaking and identifying Jesus of Nazareth as theos, demonstrating...

    Psalm 110:1 -> “Yahweh says to my lord“ or “Yahweh says to my Lord”? Let’s ignore for a minute that the correct Hebrew word is adoni and substitute for it the incorrect Hebrew word Adonai. Adonai is the title that is reserved for God (449 times). What would the phrase look like in English when...

    The most fequently quoted or alluded to verse from the OT in the NT. That’s why it is vitally important that we not confuse the only one who is Adonai with the one who is only adoni.

    The Lord God (Yahweh, the God and Father of Jesus) is higher than the lord (Heb. adoni) Messiah.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    V.5 The Lord (the Hebrew title used in reference to Yahweh, Adonai) is at your (the Messiah’s) right hand (the Hebrew non-deity title, adoni, in verse 1). The Father (Yahweh) is at the Son’s (Jesus’) right hand in this verse. Cp. Psalm 121:5 -> “Yahweh is your keeper; Yahweh is your shade on...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    I don’t understand your question. LORD is the standard English convention for the personal name of the Messiah’s God. “Lord“ is not God’s personal name. It is a title. Who is GOD? The Trinity isn’t speaking to Messiah. GOD is the one true God, the God of Abraham - Yahweh - the Father, only one...

    “The Apostles did not identify Jesus with Yahweh. Ps. 110:1 prevented this.” (Charles Bigg, International Critical Commentary, 1 Peter, p. 99.) https://archive.org/details/internationalcriticalcommentary The use of adoni in reference to the unnamed person addressed by Yahweh is the reason why...

    Adonai -> God. Adoni -> not God. The vowel makes the difference in the identification. *** Analogy. Moose and mouse. The vowel makes the difference in identification. Bullwinkle is the moose. Mickey is the mouse. Mickey isn’t Bullwinkle.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    It depends on the correct translation of Hebrew to English. Some versions translate it correctly and some translations don’t. NASB is a version that doesn’t. I mentioned in an earlier post that the publisher of the NASB has acknowledged that it doesn’t. “LORD“ is the standard English rendering...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    This is a helpful explanation but, if we are going to be true to the Hebrew language, we should regard LORD as the Father and the lord (not Lord) as Jesus Christ.
  18. Matthias

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    What is causing confusion is the incorrect rendering of adoni in English. Incorrect English rendering - Lord. Correct English rendering -> lord.
  19. Matthias

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    LORD (the standard English rendering of the Tetragrammaton) is God the Father. LORD / YHWH/ Yahweh is the God of Israel. LORD isn’t Jesus. It’s “lord,” not “Lord,” which means Jesus Messiah.

    God is at “thy,” the Messiah’s, right hand in verse 5. Messiah is sitting at the right hand of God in verse 1. The Messiah doesn’t have authority over Yahweh. Yahweh has authority over Jesus.
