And after all that, the person with the lexicon, still can't read it.
This means you have to accept that these..."educated lay person's and the committee", is not related to a cult.
How do you know?
Have you researched them?
"well, i got it in a bible book store that sells Billy Graham material and the most recent book by Pope Francis, as well as a HD Video series on the "Spiritual Art of John Calvin, hosted by the Reverend Robert Schuller"".
Ahhhhh..
Well then........
===================================================================================
Listen,
im not trying to get you to agree with me. Ok? Im just trying to get you to see what i see, and then God takes it from there.
And even if all of the lay person's and committee team members were walking on water on the way to the translation table, halo's all aglow, the person who buys this book, is still teaching what THEY say ""it means""", per verse, and that is not the person themselves studying or even reading the greek.
So, here is how to play that game honestly on a forum, or in a pulpit.
Have them admit....>"i can't read greek, but i choose to believe that the translators that are teaching me what they believe the greek says, has to be true, and upon that i now claim to be a greek authority and a future bible corrector."
This perhaps sounds harsh, and i want it to, as we live in the age of spiritual fruit fakirs that is out of control.
Like many ..., im on a few forums, and its an unbelievably DARK experience in '2021.
In the last 2 weeks.....
I had a forum member tell me ""that the blood of Jesus does not keep you saved and that you keep yourself saved by repenting.""
I had another on another forum tell me that ""their church has no real interest in that Christ gospel of forgiveness.""
I had another tell me that there is no hell
I had another tell me that its Israel fault that 2000+ rockets were fired at Tel Aviv a month ago.
I had another tell me that we are to trust the "original greek" that they can't read, and not the bible.
I had another tell me that we are born again to go back under the old covenant and keep the law, as the reason we are born again.
I had another tell me that John 3:16 is not talking about Jesus.
These are different forums, all "moderated", and are all "Christian".
