Dear Brother or Sister in the LORD:
We’re excited to share with you the second in our “Bible Study Series.” It’s wonderful to hear that several of you are sharing the Bible study with others, including those who are in restrictive access housing. Please email us if you have friends or relatives who would like to receive our teachings.

We encourage you to complete your Bible study with a hard copy of the Bible rather than with a mechanical device. The questions purposely take you back and forth between the Old and New Testaments to help keep you refreshed on finding the books of the Bible.
 
Part of your “homework” is to memorize the order of the books of the Bible if you haven’t already done that. Two index cards are provided at the left that can be enlarged and printed for a handy reference. Email us if you would like us to email you these images in a larger format.

The Problem: The Denial of The Deity of Jesus Christ

 

The authors of the new versions of the Bible have added one word, for (a preposition), to the text of Genesis 22:8. With the addition of the word for, the vital function of the (reflexive) pronoun himself has been changed. This restructuring of the sentence removes a strong statement of the deity of Jesus Christ.

The King James Bible correctly records Genesis 22:8: “God will provide HIMSELF a lamb.”
Consider three important functions or ways words are used in sentences:
  • Direct Object:
    Direct objects answer the questions: Whom? or What? God gave
    HIMSELF …
    God (subject) gave (verb) Himself (Direct object answers the question “Whom?”).

  • Appositive: 

    A word (or group of words) that identifies or renames the noun or pronoun it follows. It is the placing of a word or expression so that the second word explains and has the same grammatical construction as the first.

    God (subject) gave (verb) Himself (Direct object-answers the question, “Whom?”) a lamb (appositive, renames Himself).

     

  •  Indirect Object is a word or phrase that informs to whom or for whom something is being done. The new versions create an indirect object.“God will provide for himself the lamb.” (NKJV, ESV, et al.)

 

The new version authors redesign Genesis 22:8. They do this by changing the pronoun Himself from being the direct object to an indirect object. This redesign of the sentence is created by adding one word, the preposition for, in front of Himself. The pronoun Himself [God] wrongly becomes the object of the preposition and then functions as an indirect object (for Himself): “God will provide for Himself the lamb.”

God (subject) will provide (verb) FOR (preposition) Himself (object of preposition, used as an indirect object) the lamb (direct object). This is saying God will provide something or someone (for Himself) to become the sacrificial lamb, instead of the fact that God will provide Himself a Lamb. God is the lamb in the person of Jesus Christ.
