Subject: Another Counselor? |
Bible Note: Greetings Punkiedo! My wife is a PK too! :-) Thanks for the response my friend! May I be blunt though, and hopefully not rude? Your answer doesn't deal with the meaning of the word 'another' at all. The word means 'someone other than the subject'. It always refers to someone numerically distinct from the subject. Jesus cannot be the 'other' Counselor. To go back to my candy bar analogy, if I simply give you the Snicker's back again, it (by definition) cannot be 'another' candy bar. It is the 'same' candy bar. In the same way, Greek as a word for 'same'. If Jesus were simply saying that He was coming back, He would not have used the word 'other'. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
