Jesus is God - Acts 20:28

[Wootah]

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... ersion=ESV

28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

So we are to pay careful attention and care for the church of God, which He obtained with his own blood.

Isn't it clear that God obtained the church with his own blood?

So we are to pay careful attention and care for the church of God, which He obtained with his own blood.

Isn't it clear that God obtained the church with his own blood?

Wouldn't God's church be His, without obtaining it?

I think that does not mean Jesus is God.

[2timothy316]

"So keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock which the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he made his own through the blood of his Son."

Legally, mankind's future belonged to sin and eventual death before Jesus' sacrifice because of Adam and Eve handing over mankind to sin. Jesus' perfect life sacrifice pays off the perfect life that Adam lost, legally mankind's future now belongs to Almighty God once more.

I am not an expert or have access to originals but this website seems to suggest your translation is wrong because your translation has 'of his Son' but it is not there in the Greek.

Without more information I would suggest your translation is incorrect and possibly adding eisegesis in order to avoid the plain meaning: that God made the church with His own blood.

Can you show me that in the Greek?

I don't speak Greek, I speak English, so why show you in Greek?
Are you Greek to English translation expert? Are you saying that the folks that translated Greek into English for the Bibles below don't know what they are doing? Is belief determining what Acts 20:28 truly says or what Greek experts translate from Greek into modern day English?

There are other translations that use "blood of his Son".
Contemporary English Version
New Revised Standard Version
New English Translation
Lexham English Bible
New Century Version

Instead of asking if I can show you in Greek, you should be asking why these Bibles translated it the way they did into English. I don't think you care but for everyone else's who wants to know the correct Greek to English translation I'm going explain why these Bibles translated it as "the blood of his Son". Get ready....

New International Version
"Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood."
NIV Study Bible (NIV) footnote on Acts 20:28: “his own blood. Lit. ‘the blood of his own one,’ a term of endearment (such as ‘his own dear one’) referring to His own Son.”

And that's it. Pretty simple eh? This why non-bias experts need to translate Bibles from Greek to English and people that have strong bias in their beliefs shouldn't. Because actual experts know about Greek terms of endearment and how they should be translated into English correctly.

I am not an expert or have access to originals but this website seems to suggest your translation is wrong because your translation has 'of his Son' but it is not there in the Greek.

Without more information I would suggest your translation is incorrect and possibly adding eisegesis in order to avoid the plain meaning: that God made the church with His own blood.

That's exactly what's going on. The phrase in Greek is διὰ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ ἰδίου, which literally means "with the blood of [his] own." The word order might more commonly have been διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος ("with [his] own blood"), but the way it's written isn't wrong or anything.

So do we agree now that the verse says "with the blood of his own"? That makes sense when considering hundreds of other scriptures. His own Son shed his blood.

Show me the Greek that you are using?

I think the issue you constantly never face is that you have to reconcile scripture inserting not God everywhere in the NT.

Consider the wider paragraph this sentence is taken from:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... ersion=NIV
25 “Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. 26 Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. 27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. 28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. 29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31 So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears.

Paul is innocent of their blood. He has preached the whole will of God. Why would he insert 'not God' into this? Paul is not interested in preaching about 'not God'. He didn't change course on the Damascus road to preach 'not God'. He changed course to preach God. It makes no sense for Paul to preach God and insert anything about the blood of 'not God'.

Paul is preaching God in full. Father, Spirit and Son.

[Difflugia]

So do we agree now that the verse says "with the blood of his own"?

Yes. That's a common possessive/genitive construction in classical Greek.

That makes sense when considering hundreds of other scriptures.

Again, yes. "The x of the y" is a pretty common possessive construction and it appears in hundreds of other scriptures.

His own Son shed his blood.

No. "Son" is neither present in nor implied by the text. Unless you can find "hundreds of other scriptures" where "son" is added by translators, your argument is a non sequitur.
