1 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | drbloor | 225362 | ||
Thanks for the note but I completely disagree. I think you are basing your interpretation of the passage on a very subjective reading of the English rather than taking the original Greek into consideration as well. With respect I would also point out that nothing in your post provides any evidence that Moses and Elijah were actually there. You have only managed to prove that Moses and Elijah were seen, which is of course in complete agreement with my previous statement. In Matthew 17:19 the word you read as "vision" is the Greek word "Horama". Horama is used another 11 times in the New Testament and without exception refers to visions: Peters vision of the great sheet, Ananias' vision of an angel, Pauls vision of Ananias, Cornelius' vision of an angel, Moses' vision of the burning bush, etc., etc. The consistent scriptural evidence provided by the original language of the New Testament therefore is that the appearance of Moses and Elijah was indeed a vision. I hope that this information will be constructive to you. |

2 | Moses appeared from where? | Matt 17:3 | Morant61 | 225365 | ||
Greetings drbloor! Excellent observation about the usage of 'horama'. However, does the word necessarily indicate that they were not actually there? The word itself refers to a spectacle seen. But, I can't find any evidence that the word itself indicates a necessary lack of physical reality. I have sources that I can check when I get to my office for more information.
