My comment to you all has to do with the on-going discussion of how
Romans 9:5 should be translated. When the Greek is read, one of two
translations is possible which supports either (A) the Christ and God
are the same person or (B) Christ is a different person from God; thus,
two identities are mentioned in the verse.
The passages which support Christ is God are:
NIV--Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human
ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised!
RSV to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the
flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.
The passages which support Christ is not God are:
RSV--to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the
flesh, is the Christ. God who is over all be blessed for ever. Amen.
