The leper fell down at the feet of God. A clear declaration for the deity of Jesus Christ.

In (Luke 17:15-16) it is not just that the leper fell down at Jesus feet. He fell down at the feet of God. See?

He fell down at the feet of God...Jesus.

S, just so you know, i believe that Christ was an incarnation of God, ok, it's the worshipping Jesus part that i find Nehushtan. pretty sure i could list ten signs that Jesus does not want worship, even though these would be taken as a denial of Christ's deity, which i don't mean. Imo the hell to pay for this is right now, so to me it manifests as more of an "it is what it is" thing, but Nehushtan worship is a poor substitute for Life, more abundantly imo

no, i do not see. where does it say that? It seems you have taken, "glorifying God" to mean "glorifying Him." wadr

(Luke 17:15-16) "And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks....")

The leper fell down at the feet of Jesus. The feet of God.

ok that's fine, believe that if you need to, but understand for yourself what Nehushtan worship means ok. Doesn't have to be my understanding, i won't be reaping from it. understand why Jesus hid from 2 Greeks. Understand why you gotta go to a singular translation there, and disregard all the others, to force your pov. understand why the Lex does not support you there.

"...and he was a Samaritan."

I'm not forcing anything. That is what it says.

That is very close to what the NT text says alright. The problem is the uses of the pronouns 'his' and 'him.'

Luke, of course, never gives any indication that he believes Jesus is God. And that is probably why so many trinitarians eschew the use of this scripture as a trinity 'proof.'

If this had been taken literally, and trinitarian scholars and translators thought that the 'his' and 'him' might possibly refer to God, you know they would have all translated it that way.

But instead, AMP; Byington; CEB; CEV; EHV; ERV; ESV; ETRV; EXB; GNT; GW; ICB; ISV; JB; LB; Mounce; MSG; NAB; NABRE; NCV; NEB; NET; NIV; NJB; NLV; NLT; NMB; NRSV; NTE; Phillips; REB; RSV; TLB; VOICE; WE; and WEB have replaced 'his feet' with 'Jesus' feet.'

I have found none which render it as 'God's feet.'

I should have added Young's Literal Translation even though it says 'his feet.' Why? Because Young uses capitalized 'Him' and 'His' for God, but at Luke 17:16 he uses 'him' and 'his' without capitalization.

You mean...you prefer the human edited version, rather than the original word of God?

No, that is what (Luke 17:15-16) is saying. It is attributing the feet of Jesus as the feet of God.

You are being deceptive, as usual, in saying you find none that render it as 'God's feet'. The correct rendering is as I gave it from the KJV. 'his feet'. And 'his feet' goes back to God in verse 15.

If any translation substitutes 'Jesus' for 'his' in verse 15, then it is a lie. The word 'Jesus' is not there. The pro-noun 'his' is.

an anyone here tell me why it really matters?
If a person follows the words of Jesus, loves God and loves his brother/neighbour ...why would it matter if he didn't have the revelation that Jesus was God ?

This is not a tongue in cheek question, but a serious one. Anyone?

As you all know by now, I believe God will check out our heart at the End, not our doctrine.
Hope everyone here in this thread answers this Q. Thanks.

How important for us is the knowledge of God according to - John 17:3 (compare Jer. 10:10); 2 Thess. 1:8?

Well, one could say that not knowing that Jesus is God would condemn all of Israel. Or one might say that if we know Christ, then surely we would know. But the real question is, does God reveal all...to all...before the end?
