Mike,Quote If “obtain” is no where near the definition of any word in that Greek statement, then a true “paraphrase” cannot use the word “obtain”.I have already pointed out that appear can mean to bodily appear. Obtaining a new body is one way to appear in a new body. It may be the only way though the means of obtaining the new body are…[Read more]

Mike,It has a form though it is probably not what you are thinking of as a form as it did not have the attribute of a body. In form it lacked being a person before it was made flesh.

T,Will you please answer my question?

T,I believe I do. It is a Psalm about David written in the voice of God. It is a maskil, a song/poem of contemplation, It is of Ethan the Ezrahite. The author is mentioned in 1 Kings 4:31 as being one of the wise. Solomon is said to be wiser than him.
