1 | Proverbs 3:5 | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 224603 | ||
Bega and all, here is something I'd like to add to this thread that I believe is quite pertinent. I believe it was originally posted by Pastor Tim. --" Keeping in mind that the original manuscripts of the New Testament are written in Greek. One of the rules of Greek grammar, is that when two, proper and personal substantives, both of which are singular in number and in the same case, are connected by the Greek ‘kai’, then both of these substantives are in reference to the same person. Why is this important? Besides John 1:1 there are eight Christologically pregnant passages in the New Testament that conclusively state that Jesus Christ is, God. They are; Acts 20:28, Eph 5:5, Thess 1:12, 1 Tim 5:12, 2 Tim 4:1, Titus 2:13, 2 Pet 1:1, and Jude 1:4. Each of these passages, in accordance with this rule of Greek grammar, defiantly calls Jesus Christ – God!" John |

John, Slight correction. The rule is actually when you have an article followed by that construction. So it would be something like, "The coach and companion" or "The Lord and Savior" etc. However, in the examples given they are still good examples of the correct rule. So I agree whole heartedly just wanted to make sure it was being said correctly. In Christ, Beja |

Dear Pastor Beja, thanks for the correction and your desire to get it right. Not being a Greek expert and having gotten this info from pastor Tim, (our resident Greek expert) I wouldn't know which of the two of you is correct. But since the final outcome is that the text and grammar shows Christ's Divinity, then it's all good to me!:-) John |

Greetings John! Pastor Beja is correct! I should have added the following phrase to my post: "When the first noun has the article, while the second does not." But, as you pointed out, the meaning of the post is not changed as each example follows this rule. Thanks! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
