Please define for me the meaning of truth.

Guestman, ἐγὼ εἰμί (egw eimi) means 'I am' and NOT 'I have been'. This is the NWT's deceptive way to avoid the truth of Greek grammar. I know and teach NT Greek. Why do you have the audacity to provide the New World Translation here and not tell us it is the NWT? It is a false translation from...

I will not respond to you again. I will not tolerate flaming of me and failure to deal with the exegesis I provided. Quoting at length from Strong's concordance does not exegete the text. Oz

I have just added my exegesis of Greek of Phil 2:6 in context to #127. Do you read and understand NT Greek grammar?

Here there is no dealing with the stoning for blasphemy in John 8:52-59. Until that is dealt with, we have hit a brick wall in our discussion.:eek: Until the exegesis of Phil 2:6 is done in context, it proves nothing. Do remember John 1:1 (NIV): 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was...

You didn't deal with the stoning for blasphemy. What blasphemy did Jesus commit that deserved stoning to death by the Jews? Claiming to be God!

Guestman, Your reply is an example of pushing your meaning without taking into consideration the context of this verse, John 8:58 (ESV). 52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste...

Richard, Now read Jas 2:1, 'My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory'- ESV. They were Christian Jews under grace. Oz

twinc, You seem to have overlooked that poor fruit can be seen in any part of the Christian life, including spiritual gifts. I've heard some poor preachers over the years. Oz

Pharmboy, There is not a word about eating Jesus' flesh and drinking his blood in the John 2 narrative. That's your presuppositional understanding imposed on the text. Oz

The answer is simple. Both the prostitute and I are sinners. Jesus died to cleanse ALL sinners from sin. Oz

You don't like the fact the NT is a translation of a foreign language that is no longer spoken. Accurate knowledge of koine Greek grammar is so important for Bible teachers. Your example of obtaining an ID is a red herring. Oz

Context! Context! Context! When Jesus said, 'I am', he did not mean 'I am' as in this sentence, 'I am in hospital', which is where I am now. Oz

I have refuted your theology in #111. Yours is a false theology that is not supported by Scripture. You have glossed over Scripture to get to the invented theology of your theological system. It was C S Lewis who stated: A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would...

Guestman, This is false. I'm serious about examining the NT about Jesus as God. As a teacher of NT Greek, I want to be accurate with the Greek grammar. For you to say that Jesus is not God, you have done violence to the Greek grammar. I have explained this in Is Jesus a God and not the God...

We know that this is not so because the Bible tells us so. Did Jesus really say anything while he was on earth about his being God? Yes, he did, in John 8:58, which reads: ‘Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am”’ (ESV). R C H Lenski, a Greek exegete...

Stranger, I appreciate that these are some of the issues and views of commentators. Let’s examine some of the matters relating to whether Mark 16:9-20 should in the Bible or have been added. I could go into further detail as to why I reject vv. 9-20 as part of the New Testament. However, I...

Jun2u, I provided you with an exegetical understanding of the Greek grammar. You don't want to believe that. So be it. You don't like the fact that I used a commentary. What does a person do who writes a commentary. He or she is a Bible teacher. Yes, a teacher! There is biblical support for...

Abiding Grace, Thank you for your encouragement. That clip from Summer White was brilliant as we saw pro-abortion people ducking and weaving about the humanity of the baby in the womb. Her example of her 1-year-old not being capable of existing by himself/herself and a woman found the idea of...

Stranger, Irenaeus lived ca. 120 /140 - 200 /203 according to Encyclopaedia Britannica. St. Hippolytus of Rome, lived ca 170 - 235. This is over 100 years after the writing of many NT books. What evidence do you have to demonstrate that Irenaeus and Hippolytus quoted from Mk 16:9-20 without...
