1 | 2Thess 2:7 forum, then respond | 2 Thess 2:6 | Ray | 8639 | ||
After reading the posts of my friends here and having gone to the only Greek that I know, namely two Interlinear Greek/English New Testament publications that I own, I'm going to stay with my original copy. With one exception. I believe that God is the One who restrains. If the Greek had the word Restrainer, (and it doesn't), I would have it capitalized. However, I don't believe that He is restrained at all, but rather the son of perdition is. Thus, here is my change to my copy and I believe it agrees with the Greek. "Do you not remember that while I was with you, I was telling you these things? And you know the One who restrains him now, for in His time He will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; there is only One who now restrains until it is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay..." Thanks ahead of time for any continued input. |

Greeting Ray! I kind of skipped over this post without reading it carefully, so I missed one of your comments. You said, "If the Greek had the word Restrainer, (and it doesn't), I would have it capitalized." The word can be translated several ways, but the text (2 Thess. 2:7) actually says, "There is now only One who holds back....(or restrains.)" So, the word 'restrainer' or 'holder back' is not a noun, but a participle used as a subject. This in fact functions basically as a noun. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, I agree with you here, too. There is only one Restrainer, the One who holds back and the One we know and love. | ||||||
