1 | Is God somehow responsible? | Rom 1:20 | Morant61 | 70222 | ||
Greetings Beva! I find it interesting that several translations use the term 'predestined' or 'ordained', sine not a single Greek source I counslted lists any sense of 'predetermination' to the word. Here is the entry from short Kittel's: ************************************** prographo 1. Eph. 3:3: ?As I have written above,? a common use (e.g., when referring to a heading). 2. Rom. 15:4. ?What was written previously, in earlier times. 3. Gal. 3:1. The reference here may be a. to public proclamation, e.g., on placards, or b. to vivid depiction. The latter is less likely both because there is no attestation for this sense and a heart-rending description of the cross is less in keeping with apostolic preaching than its public promulgation. 4. Jude 4. The idea here is that of public proscription; the false teachers have been long since listed for condemnation. ******************************************* I also noticed that several translation even added words such as 'ancient writtings' and 'holy writtings'. None of these words are present in the text at all. Have a great day! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Is God somehow responsible? | Rom 1:20 | beva | 70248 | ||
Greetings again my brother! I have considered Jude 1:4 in light of the other verses you listed and I fear that my understanding of the verse remains the same. How is it that this happens? I confess that I am at a loss. How can two brothers get such different meaning from the same verse? Perhaps it is because we both read Scripture with preconceived notions. And if that is true... I am certain we could have some very interesting discussions, but neither of us would change our view. Therefore, shall we continue? To what end? I do not want to foster division or dissension. Admittedly, in light of some other disturbing posts I have read I now regret stepping into this discussion! But, at the same time, I am extremely curious as to how you would interpret certain other verses of Scripture. Then again, you may be curious as to how I would respond to specific "proof texts". Alas, what shall we do? Your intrigued friend, --Beva |

Greetings Beva! Feel free to contribute anytime! :-) I would be curious as to what in the other three verses makes you feel that this word has any connotation of pre-ordination. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
