I guess I’m confused how Philippians 2:15 proves genea means more than the typical time range for a generation? Maybe you could elaborate on that a little more?

how are you determining how the original language was meant to be used and understood? I don’t speak first century koine Greek, so I must rely on teams of scholars, linguists, etc… to translate the Bible into English. Even translators use lexicons, for example, the bdag lexicon was used by...

Again, that’s not the point of the OP. The OP is about how to use a lexicon or concordance correctly. You can have multiple resources—that’s great—but if you don’t actually know how to use them properly, then having a stack of them doesn’t help. The issue isn’t how many tools you own; it’s...

My argument was about consistency in using lexical sources. Calling it ‘petty and infantile’ doesn’t answer any of the points I made. If something in the argument is incorrect, address the reasoning. If not, dismissing it with insults isn’t a rebuttal—it’s just avoiding the issue.

Never disagreed that words can have broad meanings. But a word does not carry all of its meanings in every context. The OP is about how to correctly use a lexicon and/or concordance. Never said Thayer’s was the final authority. The OP is about using Thayer’s correctly if you are going to...

You are free to disengage at any time.

Another strawman. You can think he’s wrong. Many think Thayers is outdated. But it’s absurd to appeal to Thayers for the definition of genea while disagreeing with his definition of genea. Just provide another resource, if you disagree with thayers instead of appealing to it. Thayers may very...

If genea being understood as “whole multitude living at the same time” was solely a preterist belief, then you would have point. However since that’s not the case, your statement is irrelevant

No, you don’t. The issue here is how to correctly use a lexicon. You’ve not directly addressed this. You just continue to make personal jabs, which is telling. Again, another strawman. Absolutely fine to question Thayer’s accuracy. Many do. But it makes zero sense to question Thayer’s...

Another strawman. The OP is not that thayers is the ultimate authority on word meaning. The OP is about using thayers correctly if you are going to appeal to it. Also, Are you not aware that scholars and translators that translate the Bible into English, use tools such as lexicons in the...

Again, not related to the OP. The OP is about how to properly use a lexicon/concordance. If you reject thayer’s definition of genea in Matthew 24:34, it makes zero sense to even appeal to it in the first place. That’s the point. As to “this”, I completely agree with you. And this is why...

you are making assumptions with limited information. Just because I don’t tout how much I pray for understanding online, doesn’t mean I don’t pray - that’s a non sequitur. Additionally, It’s a highly arrogant assumption to make about my personal and private prayer life of which you know nothing...

Thanks for proving my point with the laughing emoji @WPM So then correct me if I’m wrong, @Davidpt @Spiritual Israelite @WPM …. You all appeal to thayers for the broad definitions it supplies for genea but then reject thayers for defining genea in Matthew 24:34 as “whole multitude living at...

1.) the OP is about how to properly use a lexicon/concordance. Your post did nothing to address that. 2.) I asked a clarifying question as to what your lexical source was. You didn’t provide an answer. I can’t fully respond if you don’t provide your source, as the OP is about how to properly...

Why would I respond to 16 constructed points completely unrelated to the OP? WPM is completely free to start a new thread geared towards preterists.

I have no disagreement that the word genea can mean all those things in the same way that you can open a dictionary and the English word green can mean: sick, vegetation, inexperienced, a color, etc… but I would never argue that green can possibly mean both color and inexperience in the same...

This is not really the issue with the OP though. The issue is how to use a lexicon properly. Many on this website will appeal to thayers to say “Genea can mean family of same stock”. This generic statement is true. Thayer’s definition number 2 states “ family of same stock”. The problem...

Open an English dictionary and you’ll see that the word “green” can mean a color, nausea, vegetation, inexperience, and more. But no one claims the word carries all of those meanings in every sentence. That would be absurd. The same principle applies to Greek, and a lexicon goes even a step...
