Hi JVH0212, Sorry, but that isn't true. "Pater" and the Greek words for reverence or reverend are not interchangeable. "Pater" is always translated "father", except on occasion when it is translated "parent". Both are accurate according to the meaning of the word "pater". In the original Greek there are three words used that are translated "reverence" in the KJV. They are: "entrepo" meaning to invert, i.e. in a good sense, to respect; or in a bad sense to confound: regard, (give) reverence, shame. "aido" meaning bashfulness, i.e. (towards men) modesty; or (towards God) awe: reverence, shamefacedness. "phobeo" meaning to frighten, i.e. to be alarmed, by analogy to be in awe of, i.e. revere: be afraid, fear (exceedingly), reverence. If any of those three words (entrepo, aidos, or phobeo) were translated "father" in any bible, I would question whether it was translated accurately in other areas too. |

There is right and I, JVH0212, am wrong. And I can prove it. Matthew 23:9 (NASB) "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. pater; a prim. word; a father:--father, father's, fathers, parents. FYI: I looked up Matthew 23:9 in approx. 10 different translations. Not one translation translates pater as reverend. All 10 translate the Greek word into the English word father. Being mistaken serves me right for relying on memory alone instead of looking it up. There, I offer you my sincere thanks for pointing out to me that I, indeed, was in error. Now I will never forget you, brother. A tip of the hat to you, There, --JVH0212 |

No problem. Please do the same for me if you find me in error. My memory isn't perfect either. | ||||||
