Re: John 5:18 (was Jesus equating himself with the Father?)

The basic question is this: "Is John saying Jesus was making himself equal with God or were the jews saying Jesus was making himself equal with God?" It seems it has to be both. Robertson says the language and grammar mean He was calling God His Father in a sense not true of others. Alford says ess...

Re: John 20:28 - "my lord and my god"

Dwight - Paidon and Darin will given you and I names of "scholars" all day long, and expect us to believe them, but when you present scholars, they are prejudiced and therefore not worth even listening too. I think the best scholars are the authors of scripture, themselves. Would that include the s...

Re: Abrahamic Salvation?

Dwight, part of moderating a forum is keeping conversations on topic and organized so that the forum is of use to others. That sometimes includes splitting and moving off-topic threads to new topics and relevant forums and the like. When I have done that, I have tried to make appropriate notes so p...

Re: APEITHEO

In Rom. 10:21 apeitheo is used in a quotation from Isaiah 65:2, where it's also used in the LXX, from which Paul quoted. The Hebrew word it's used to translate is H5637, sarar, which BDB says means stubborn or rebellious. So it seems everyone from the LXX translators (whose rendition was good enough...

Re: Miracles

I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but #59 & 60 in The Life & Teachings of Christ talk about miracles.

Re: What are your thoughts concerning universalism?

Here we go folks - some reassuring, true to he author's intent, translations of the scriptures as the universalists would have it: 2 Corinthians 4:18 New American Standard Bible 1995 18. while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are s...

Re: What are your thoughts concerning universalism?

If your understanding is correct, it would appear that you (and Paidion) have destroyed any assurance that we will have eternal life. That's true only if Matt. 25:46 is the only verse in the Bible in which you can find a belief in eternal life. But of course it isn't; in fact, even if 'aionios' mea...

Re: How Translators Injected "the Third Person" into the New Testament

Now consider the phrase in Greek that the translators rendered "by the Holy Spirit": εκ πνευματος αγιου (ek pneumatos haiou) in English characters. Now I have used lower case Greek as in modern Greek testaments. But in early Greek manuscripts every letter was capitalized. Also in any Greek manuscri...

Re: No longer receiving email notifications

Jarrod, is there any chance this might be fixed at some point? It would be a huge help to have email notifications again. I occasionally forget to check here for days or even weeks at a time, and come back to find something that's waited way too long for a response. If that happens to others too, it...

Re: Did the writer to the Hebrews use the nominative case as a vocative?

I haven't claimed to be a "higher authority" than anyone else. It's just plain Greek. You haven't explicity stated it in this thread, but you're clearly placing your own knowledge above that of the definitive Greek scholars. In a past thread you claimed your own knowledge of Greek as your authorita...
