    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    So you don't believe in the inspiration of the canon? Please don't talk to me then.

    He came back and went a second time. You can't handle the truth.

    Your Soul Is God-Given (Bible Study)

    רוּחַ Transliteration rûaḥ Pronunciation roo'-akh The KJV translates Strong's H7307 in the following manner: Spirit or spirit (232x), wind (92x), breath (27x), side (6x), mind (5x), blast (4x), vain (2x), air (1x), anger (1x), cool (1x), courage (1x), miscellaneous (6x). I can understand your...

    Your Soul Is God-Given (Bible Study)

    I think I notice a confusion between soul and spirit here. The soul is the human breath, or pulse at best. The breath being associated with the voice was confused with the brain in Ancient Greek medicine, and to reincarnate.

    It didn't regenerate either.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Something about it being passed down at Alexandria. Perhaps, I misread something.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    I know Christian history. It isn't necessarily Roman Catholic.

    [Rev 3:11 NKJV] 11 "Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. [Rev 22:7, 12, 20 NKJV] 7 "Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed [is] he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." ... 12 "And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward [is] with...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    The canon some of the Church Fathers before the 4th century. If you the canon was not common, there would be other writings which could have influenced The CHURCH negatively. Augustin56 is also wrong to say the same RCC is the Eastern Orthodox who gave us the canon.

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Mark 9:24 is the best they can do, but again, the unbelief is not instrumental in this verse either. I prefer the "basics" of Greek to the "advanced" material; and they tend to contradict each other much.

    Thayer's Greek Lexicon [?](Jump to Scripture Index) STRONGS G18: ἀγαθός, -ή, -όν, (akin to ἄγαμαι to wonder at, think highly of, ἀγαστός admirable, as explained by Plato, Crat., p. 412 c. [others besides; cf. Donaldson, New Crat. § 323]), in general denotes "perfectus,... qui habet in se ac...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    I know that it is an adverb. Goodly to the faithless one then. Unbelief is an effect. The dative is cased by an accusative. Those who broke off, the accusative, broke off into unbelief. To have unbelief be the cause is utter Gnosticism. So you say, but it is right after an adverb. They broken...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    In a word, not at a word. Words that do things are Stoic and Valentinian nonsense καλῶς· τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ what is good to a faithless one. The instrumental is καλῶς, and notice the verb doesn't match the number of καλῶς and is plural. This is very sloppy. While unique and interesting, it is not...

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    Yep, the Father was manifested at the flesh which means Jesus still isn't God. Words being Gods is a Stoic concept Valentinus was one of many Gnostics, and yes, he almost became bishop of Rome. POPES were nonexistent back then.

    Because it doesn't describe adequately like a Greek word agathos.

    Why trust the "Early Fathers?"

    And somehow you and scholars have documentation for this. I have heard Athanasius used the same canon as Justin Martyr. It doesn't sound like there was much debate in some circles. None of them Roman Catholic because they didn't know Greek. You counted the anthropomorphism to 2 times, but the...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    When it comes to Heb and Grk, the in-words en, bet- are not translated enough as at. So, you may be right partially. But for an instance like something being the instrument, dia is used with the genitive for an action. Dia means through or with instrumentally in the genitive case. I think I have...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    And I meant instrumental genitive. But let us look up Luke 22.49 and 1 Cor. 4:21: We shall smite them at, in, or with the sword. By is not even considered. But if εν μαχαίρᾳ means at the blade; it can be argued only the sword, spear or blade is instrumental. When I see a dative prepositional...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    You mean instrumental genitive. Dative is a secondary result of a verb, and your proof is weak, and your book is not properly adjusted to the internet.
