Purity said:Yes at times - but Nomad is an interesting specimen Nothead - he's been around the block a few times; here is what he will do. He starts out with a little "egeneto" then a bit of "ginomai" and all of a sudden you are in this little boat with him, amidst a stormy sea of Greek (which he loves!) and not once will you ever seen him actually deal with the context - he's a jot and tittle man!
The reality is what he will make of "ho logos sarx egeneto" is to infer ONE who left his heavenly splendour to descend into an infinitely lesser life though ask him to provide these psychological explanations or devotional reflections from the Word, and you will get Phil and Col references, which as we known have already been explained and expounded clearly for all to see.
His Christology will not be based on Pauls "Last Adam" and "New Creation" teaching,but yes you guessed it, CREEDS - though he's not keen to go down that path either - its a denial thing he has going on!
Otherwise if you like to play Greek its a good game.
Like de lime wit de coconut, drink it all up...hey gotta respect a man who can rationalize you around a corner...
just like the later Greek ECF'S who formulated the later Creeds. Took the WHOLE WORLD and made it upside down.
Rather TOOK THE WHOLE GOD OF US and made HIM THREE.
Your numero uno must correlate with 1 Cor 11Nomad said:Actually Nothead Paul says it 4 times. Observe:
Col 1:18
1. And he is the head of the body, the church.
2. He is the beginning,
3. the firstborn from the dead,
4. that in everything he might be preeminent.
So you're right it's possible, possible, possible, possible.
[SIZE=.75em]3 [/SIZE]But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
I don't have a problem with pre-eminence, your eminence, until he governs up to God. Hint: he don't.
