Bible Note: Greetings Jeff! We have an article in our local newspaper that I really enjoy. It is an article about grammar and proper usage of the English language. Now, I am by no means an expert on this issue. I will humbly bow before Hank on matters of English grammar and usage! ;-) But, I can say that many (alas, not all) false doctrines could be dealt with by simply understanding grammar. Why do I say this? The problem isn't what Scripture says, it is that so many go beyond what Scripture says. Identifying the subject of a sentence, understanding the tense or voice of a verb, understanding pronouns and their antecedents, each of these can greatly aid in proper exegesis and interpretation. So, maybe we all should break out the old English grammars and relearn how to diagram a sentence! ;-) By the way, thanks for the kind words! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
