1 | I have a related question for anyone... | Acts 8:13 | dgregg | 69589 | ||
Thanks for all of your research! According to the scripts used in the Online Greek Bible (www.greekbible.com), the word epignosis is used in every one of these phrases. I'm not sure exactly what this word implies about the meaning of the phrase, but to me it strongly suggests that it means nearly, if not exactly, the same thing in every case. For clarification, I'd like to know what you mean by "each of us must choose what we think these passages mean." I don't want to assume that you're saying that the Truth of the Word is relative! Please expound your statement. Thanks! | ||||||

Hi dgregg, Now you have come to the capitalization question. Should Truth be capitalized? You have written "Truth of the Word". I believe that the "knowledge of the truth" occurances should NOT be capitalized. However, I believe that Jesus is indeed the Way, the Truth, and the Life. But just as He is the Light of the world and He came as light and enlightens every man; while He is the Truth He speaks the truth [sic]. As for the truth of the Word may I offer this interpretation for what is worth. I have it "penciled in" my personal copy right now. Titus 1:1-4, "Paul, a bond-servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus (Christ), for the faith of those chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth, *the One who is according to godliness, 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ago, 3 but at His proper time manifested, even His Word/, in the the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior; 4 to Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from (God) the Father and the *Lord, Christ Jesus our Savior." We should also look at verse 9. From the heart, Ray |

I apologize for my poor wording. I didn't mean to imply anything by my capitalization of the word truth. My concern with Searcher56's post is the possible implication that the Bible itself is a relative book, open to interpretation based on whatever he or she thinks it sould say. I don't agree with this at all, which is why I asked for clarification. I don't want Searcher56 to be misunderstood, especially if that's not what was meant at all. Thanks for giving your interpretation of Titus 1:1-4! I'll take it into consideration. |
