1 | Where's the LOVE | Matt 12:34 | Morant61 | 82193 | ||
Greetings Jeff! We have an article in our local newspaper that I really enjoy. It is an article about grammar and proper usage of the English language. Now, I am by no means an expert on this issue. I will humbly bow before Hank on matters of English grammar and usage! ;-) But, I can say that many (alas, not all) false doctrines could be dealt with by simply understanding grammar. Why do I say this? The problem isn't what Scripture says, it is that so many go beyond what Scripture says. Identifying the subject of a sentence, understanding the tense or voice of a verb, understanding pronouns and their antecedents, each of these can greatly aid in proper exegesis and interpretation. So, maybe we all should break out the old English grammars and relearn how to diagram a sentence! ;-) By the way, thanks for the kind words! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim I would like to find a tenth grade english book from 40 years ago or a website where I can reaquaint myself with the English Language. I should let you know I tend to talk in colloquialisms and over use the comma. We need to lighten up and smile occasionally. Jesus is a happy man. Now don't get down on me because I said Jesus was a man and not God/man. You either Hank |

Greetings Jeff! I had a tendency to end my sentences in prepositions. I really didn't overcome that tendency until I started reading my own posts on this forum. Once I started doing that, I realized at poorly constructed some of my sentences sounded. :-( I'm not sure about a website, but I would recommend "Hodges' Harbrace College Handbook'. It covers English grammar in a more concise form than most grammars. Most of us simply need to brush up on the rules. I actually keep it on my desk and consult it occasionally. p.s. - I smile quite a bit! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
