1 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | Ray | 145215 | ||
Hi Kalos, My academic credentials are that I gained a college degree. I gained that degree because I was able to read books. Hopefully, you do not require every person that expresses an opinion to be a Greek scholar. Here is what I read and is the basis for my opinion about "contrains". Strong's #315, anagkazo; from 318; to necessitate, compel:--compel(3), compelled(2), force(1), forced(1), made(2). See Acts 26:11. Strong's #4912, sunecho; from 4862 and 2192; to hold together, to hold fast..." 2 Corinthians 5:14, "For the love of Christ "sunechei" us..." I hope this is helpful for you. From the heart, Ray |

Greetings, Ray ::: "Hopefully you don't require every person that expresses and opinion to be a Greek scholar" .... Here's how I see it, Ray, if I may be permitted to intrude upon this discussion. When someone expresses an opinion on the proper rendering of a passage of Scripture (or of anything else) from the original language into a receptor language (in this instance, from biblical Greek to contemporary English), I should find it much more convincing if the one giving his opinion were thoroughly schooled in both languages, i.e., if he were a bona fide scholar of both ancient Greek and contemporary English and thoroughly fluent in both. Being able to pick up a Greek-English dictionary and read definitions does not of itself make one a scholar of either language any more than reading medical books makes one a board-certified physician. As I would not not wish to place my body in the hands of someone whose claim to medical expertise was based solely on the fact that he had read some medical dictionaries, neither would I entrust someone with little more qualification than the possession of a Strong's to translate Scripture for me. --Hank | ||||||
