1 | Do you yet say that Jesus was just a man | John 9:24 | srbaegon | 55645 | ||
Hello Stokey Just to address a few quick things. I'm too busy for an indepth response. 1) You mix apples with oranges. "Firstborn" in Rev 3:14 is "arche". From Strong's: 1) beginning, origin 2) the person or thing that commences, the first person or thing in a series, the leader 3) that by which anything begins to be, the origin, the active cause 4) the extremity of a thing 4a) of the corners of a sail 5) the first place, principality, rule, magistracy 5a) of angels and demons You can see that it has the idea of preeminence, rather than the first in a sequence. 2) The word "godhead" in Strong's actually means: 1) deity 1a) the state of being God, Godhead 5) "He says all the oldest manuscripts of this verse contain a period after 'flesh.'" The oldest manuscripts don't even have punctuation. Better throw away the book. Steve |

1) Yes, "Beginning" in Revelation 3:14 is "arche." Yes, Strong is right! It means "beginning." Your 2nd quote contradicts your statement: 'not the first in a sequence.' 2) "Godhead" in Webster's means "divine nature or essence: DIVINITY." "Godhood" means the same. See Strong's nos. 2304, 2305, 2320. 5) Mss. A, B, C, L. Stokey. |

Hello Stokey 1) Let me state it better then. You can see that it has the idea of preeminence, so that first in a sequence is because of rightful place and not because one begins to count from there. Look at the whole picture please. And you are still comparing apples to oranges. That's deceptive. 2) You stated the definition came from Strong. Now you say it's from Webster. More deception? 5) The author of that book must have seen a better copy of Codex Sinaiticus (Aleph) than I've seen, so my teacher was wrong. I'll check it for myself later. Steve |

Come on, Steve, you know I'm not being deceptive. The definition of the Greek word is from a Greek dictionary-Strong; the meaning of the English word from an English dictionary. Stokey. |

Hello Stokey I quote from your posting (ID# 55632): "Strong's says (a) means: 'godlike (neut. as noun, divinity).' This indicates a quality in the neuter tense; (b) means: 'divinity (abstract)'; (c) means: 'divinity (abstract).'" I'm just calling you on your statement. Steve |
