1 | Better Greek Translation for 2 Thess.? | 2 Thess 2:2 | Totallypostal84 | 182260 | ||
I have just read an article by Dr. Kenneth Wuest on II Thess.2:2 concerning "Day of the Lord". I noticed in the received text the Greek has "Day of Christ" and in the revised text "Day of the Lord". Dr. Wuest says that the better texts have "Day of the Lord". What Greek texts are being refered to as better and why? | ||||||
2 | Do the Majority of Texts have "Christ"? | 2 Thess 2:2 | Totallypostal84 | 182275 | ||
I have a Interlinear Bible by Jay P. Green, Sr. that has, in the Greek, "Day of Christ" for this verse. In researching the Majority Text Notes in the Appendix, the word "Christ" is found in 61-79 percent of all manuscripts. He considers this to be a distinct majority but not so strong as say some words that are in 80-100 percent of the available texts. In the context of the verse, I believe that the word "Lord" seems to be more accurate for the meaning, so why if the Greek word for "Christ" is found in the majority of manuscripts would the manuscripts that have the Greek word for "Lord" be used in most translations? If you look at the KJV, Thomas Nelson Pub., you will also find the word "Christ" used. |

4 | A believers questions? | James 1:22 | Totallypostal84 | 182366 | ||
A person must ask themselves these questions? Do you, who are saved, still sin? Is the evidence of your life completely indicative of your spiritual standing? Are you still being redeemed and protected despite your weakness in the outward flesh? We are to no longer look at the outward, we are a new creation on the inside. |
