In coming to understand anything we are rejecting the facts as they are for us in favour of the facts as they are. —C.S. Lewis
Psalm 119:43
Weerhou my tog van alles wat onwaar is. In u bepalings stel ek my vertroue (NAV)
En onttrek die woord van waarheid nie geheel-en-al aan my mond nie, want op u verordeninge wag ek (OAV)
Help my om net die waarheid te praat. Dag en nag luister ek fyn na u stem (Die Boodskap)
Theodor vra:

Kan veralgemenings gemaak word oor die evangelies en Paulus se gebruik van “Seun van God”? Is dit ook ‘n koninklike titel ter bevestiging van Christus se volmaakte koningskap (1Tim6:15)? Aanloop: In Egipte en Mesopotamie is “seun van god(e)” ook gebruik. In die Romeinse tydperk is soms na die keiser verwys as “seun van god” Vir die Israeliete was dit ‘n titel wat aangedui het dat God self die koningskap bevestig – 2Sam7:14; 1Kron17:13; Ps89:26-29. (sien ook:koning as gesalfde/messias:1Sam2:10; 2Sam23:1; Ps2:2//koning as priester:Gen14:18; Ps110:4; 2Sam6:14-18; 1Kon8:55//koning as regter:Ps72:1-4; Ps45:7; 1Sam8:5(Engels) 2Sam15:2//koning as middelaar: 2Sam24:17; 1Kron21:16-17; 1Kon8:22-23; 2Kron6:12-42) |
Though infinitely better able to do without prayer than we are, yet [Christ] prayed much more than we do. —C.H. Spurgeon

“Nay, though an angel should come and appear before mine eyes from heaven, yet it would not add to my belief; for I have of my Saviour Christ Jesus bond and seal; I have his Word, Spirit, and sacrament; thereon I depend, and desire no new revelations.” – Martin Luther
