Hosea 13.4 is very similar to John 14.6, indeed.

Hi @BasuraAko Sometimes if a thread is long, someone will start a new one along similar lines, also.

@marks (c.c. @Hidden In Him @VictoryinJesus ) Maybe a paraphrase if not a strict translation would be "those who squirm to defend inherited, vested positions and interests"...

A general comment I would also make is that the issue discussed, as per recent posts, relate rather straightforwardly to an exercise of Romans 14 Christian liberty.

@VictoryinJesus I was simply giving a grammatical demonstration; rather than thinking about the wide meaning of the verb. The active infinitive in English is: to eat The passive infinitive is: to be eaten Greek, on the other hand, has a third form, or third voice, the function of which is...

@VictoryinJesus I eat muffins. (Active voice) I am eaten by muffins (Passive voice; does not make sense either.) Greek has a middle voice which reads approximately: I eat myself to the muffins (does not make sense either, but Greek does have this grammatical facility. In some languages, it is...

@Nancy I think some ppl regard such meetings as an ongoing process rather than a destination, so to speak.

@VictoryinJesus Definitely a well thought out and pithy summary to make! I suppose that inking does indeed bring out the highly individual and nuanced complexities of a personality's own hidden universe which erupt forth.
