1 | Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t | Eph 4:11 | BradK | 194656 | ||
Miller, While we can all agree that Jesus has obviously not returned, the question is- to what does the coming of that which is perfect, completed and accomplished refer? There has been a great deal of speculation regarding the meaning of this verse. I've heard it refers to the completion of the NT Canon, Christ, and even Love. However, the noun which is rendered "perfect" in 13:10 is 'to telieon' (Gr.). In Greek grammar, the noun must agree in gender with that to which it refers. Since "perfect" is in the neuter gender, it must have a corresponding agreement to the object referred. 'Jesus' is in the masculine gender and would thereby not agree! Grammatically, that's probably not the answer! My best, reasoned asnwer is that no one really seems to know what the "perfect" is! "...But then I shall know even as I have been known" (Vs. 12) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Are there any true prophets/prophetss' t | Eph 4:11 | skccab | 194659 | ||
Brad, I'm nowhere near being able to look up Greek or Hebrew words, but what would that verse be in Hebrew? It may have been written in Greek, but it was written by a Jew who was steeped in Hebrew and Jewish idions. Would looking into that verse with a Hebrew lean maybe give an idea as to what the "perfect" is? Still simply just reciting the aleph-bet and stumbling something awful with the words :-) Cheri |
