Bible Note: Hi John, So then you dispute Robertson's analysis of these verses, which I referenced in my previous post? Rev 13:8 - Hath not been written (ou gegraptai). Perfect passive indicative of grapho, permanent state, stands written. "Not stands written the name of him..." Rev. 17:8 is the same construction. Again, I would be interested to know what other Greek scholars have to say about this, but when I consider this together with the other verses that talk about names being blotted out, well, I consider something else to be more obvious than your conclusion. Thank you for following this through with me, it is always valuable for me to understand the exact point and nature of my doctrinal disagreements with other, so I can be certain I am grounding myself wholey in the text. Love in Christ, Mark |
