JD, we have been around and around about this in other
threads but here is a recent one on Col 1:19,20 from 1-7-06
You wrote:
The word tranlated "pleased" in the gk text is the word in
question. "Father" or "God" is atached to that word.
That attachment is a personification and does not actually , literally , exist
in the text. There are good reasons for this personificiation, I
admit. I just think that if we allow for the omission of the words
"Father" or "God" (after all, Paul
could have added those words to the text, if he had wanted to), there is
less possibility for confusion.
Also, you appealed to the NASV to argue for the insertion of
"Father." A reasonable argument, by the way.
But, even in the NASV, the word "Father" is italicized -- the translators
want you to know that it is added to the text. The pleasure expressed
in v 19 is Godly pleasure -- IMPLIED but not written. It is a
divinely appointed pleasure -- and Christ is a part of that
circumstance. That Christ was going to reconcile all unto
Himself from the foundations of the world meets with the
pleasure of both Himself and His Father -- it is a divinely
appointment mission. jd
