To God and his father?

“That you may with one mind and with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:6 (NKJV)

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

What you’re about to read is an E-mail I sent to someone I heard on the local “Christian” radio station.  It’s just as I sent it, except the blank spaces.  That information was left out intentionally because it could lead to identifying who this individual is, and that’s not my intent.

After sending this off, I received an acknowledgement E-mail saying I would receive an answer to my question in one to two weeks.  That time has passed with no response, which is why I’m making the question available for all to read.  When it comes to the [Scriptures], I believe everyone should give them their undivided attention.  Being prepared to answer questions concerning them, should be priority number one for those called to preach them.

In the precious and beautiful name of Messiah Yeshua “Jesus,” greetings.

Dear ____,

My name is Jim Masterson.  I am a regular listener to Christian Radio here in New Hampshire and frequently catch your show.  I was listening on ____, ____, at ____, and heard you say something that confused me.  I hope you can clarify it for me.  I heard you say “And has made us kings and priests to God and his father.”  You were “quoting” Revelation 1:6 from a [Bible].

“And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:6 (NKJV) Here in Revelation 1:6 (NKJV) John is speaking of Jesus.

I’m very familiar with that verse, as given to us in the New King James Version of the Bible.  As you can see there’s a significant difference between “to His God and Father” in the NKJV and, “to God and his father.”

With a simple internet search I was able to look at a number of [different] versions of the bible, targeting Revelation 1:6, and “And has made us kings and priests to God and his father” wasn’t found in any of them.

I’m [very] interested in which translation you found, “And has made us kings and priests to God and his father.”

Looking forward to hearing from you.

God bless.

In His Care… Jim
