I have it in a file that is currently in storage. I’ll look for it and post it on here when I find it. Do you think it will make any difference to JAT when I do? btw, anyone who wants to can write to the Lockman Foundation. I happened to be an academic, but they will respond to anyone who...

I don’t either. Do you have any concern that the author of the article you linked might cause some to doubt that we have accurate and reliable translations?

The Hebrew word adoni occurs 195 times in scripture. It’s never used in reference to God. It’s a title given only to men, and occasionally angels. NASB translated it correctly 194 times. The only time NASB mistranslates it is in Psalm 110:1. Here’s what it looks like in a translation which...

“Only two translations worth using (NASB 1995 and NKJV)” = the author of the article made a lot of Bible publishers, trinitarian translators and Christians who don’t use those two translations unhappy - if they bothered to take the time to read it.

Interesting article. The author will get a lot of push back. NASB 1995 is my workhorse translation. I haven’t seen NASB 2020 yet but I’m anxious to. I wrote to the Lockman Foundation about an error in their translation of Psalm 110:1 and they wrote back to me promising to correct it in their...

Agreeing with Metzger concerning the Johannine Comma evidence obviously hasn’t caused you to stop believing in the Trinity, nor should it cause any trinitarian to stop believing in the Trinity. It’s difficult for many trinitarians to accept. For those of them among you, it’s a bridge too far...

I agree with what Metzger says here. Do you?

I took early retirement, a little over six years ago. I don’t have as much time to read as I’d like to, but I’m still usually able to get in 3-4 hours of reading per day. Retirement hasn’t worked out quite the way I envisioned it, but it’s actually better than I thought it would be. I’ll catch...

He writes extensively on martyrdom. He is influencing me. I’ve read about a dozen of his works in the last 30 days or so. He and I have areas of differences and areas of agreement. I’ve really enjoyed reading, and in some cases re-reading, him. If it’s the book written by Sir Robert Anderson...

Since I haven’t given an explanation, why do you think it’s a good answer? I asked how you explain it, and you didn’t answer. I asked if you could tell I have been reading Daniel (and Tertullian, a couple of times). You aren’t required to answer anything. I can handle it; I talk to the wind...

The same way I explain Abel’s blood crying out from the ground (Genesis 4:10). How do you explain it? And Tertullian? And Daniel? I feel like this is becoming a one-way conversation.

I’m a resurrection man. The resurrection hasn’t yet happened at that point, and no one will be going to heaven when they’re resurrected at Messiah’s return. So, could you tell I’ve been reading Tertullian? And Daniel?

Thank you. That causes me to think. Here’s another thought: He’s preparing us here and now for what’s barreling down on us. What I see in scripture is the saints (all believers, not the Roman Catholic concept of saints) who are living in the days of the AC being overcome, martyred, by the AC...

That’s an outstanding question. Because that’s how eager we are to be with his majesty, the messianic king. When we see him coming, we run to meet him. Our reward is with him. We have a job - a government job - to do with him. That job is here, not in the highest heaven. See the parable in...

This isn’t a story I wrote. I wish it was. I hope you’ll like and find some value in it. Fable: Don’t Argue With Donkeys The donkey said to the tiger: “The grass is blue.” The tiger replied: “No, the grass is green.” The discussion heated up and the two decided to submit to arbitration, and...

In hindsight, my use of “code” in post #41 looks now like a poor choice of word. I’m still learning you. I’ll try to make a mental note.
