Agreed. What precisely does scripture say that they did? We’ve noted that the angels were singing while Yahweh was creating. They didn’t sit idly by. See above. They exist to serve God and man. What non-speculative purpose does their presence at the creation serve? They were witnesses and...

I agree with your source.

Tyndale translated from Greek, not from Latin. Wycliffe was the first to produce a translation from Latin to English. Tyndale, though martyred a little more than half a century before the Geneva Bible was produced, had an enormous influence on the translators of the Geneva Bible (as well as...

I assume it was sufficient. For those who are wondering about the 10th English translation: it’s the Wycliffe Bible, 1382. Wycliffe translated from Latin, not from the Greek manuscripts. And his translation doesn’t use “it” in regard to the logos in John’s prologue. It belongs with, but was not...

I agree that angels are called elohim in scripture and that they were present when Yahweh created the heavens and the earth. Beyond Yahweh speaking with his heavenly council and angels singing, I’m not aware of any other participation of the angels in creation The heavens and the earth were...

Should we debate theology on social media? I agree with MacArthur that it’s a waste of time. And worse. Should we discuss theology on social media? I wouldn’t be doing it if I thought that I shouldn’t. And I encourage others to discuss it.

They have their reward, at least in their minds. I learned a long time ago, the hard way, that debating is a lose - lose proposition for those who engage in them. It causes people (on both sides) to close their minds and to act in ways which they otherwise wouldn’t. I gave up debating around...

That’s a conclusion, and one that was not held by those who produced and published the Geneva Bible (and other English translations like it.) As for my intent, I’ve already stated it. I’m not here to convert anyone and there’s not a sneaky bone in my body. There is, however, a rule against...

Then you have no preference if I leave the Board or stay. That’s all I wanted to know. I don’t mind the light you’re putting on me, in fact, I appreciate it. Not many people post in the non-Christian forums of the Board. You’re increasing my audience.

The topic of this thread is not going against the rules, nor is taking advantage of anyone. I’m bringing to the attention of readers alternate translations of the prologue in John’s Gospel - prepared and published by persons who share the Statement of Faith officially endorsed by the owner...
