Subject: Where does the Bible say all have heard? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, My knowledge of the Greek langauge is very limited, what I understood the Aorist tense to be is "something being done without a time frame" a fact in this case "preached" I understood the present tense from the following: PREACH, PREACHING 2. kerusso NT:2784 signities (a) "to be a herald," or, in general, "to proclaim," e. g., Matt 3:1; Mark 1:45, "publish"; in Luke 4:18, RV, "to proclaim," KJV, "to preach"; so verse 19; Luke 12:3; Acts 10:37; Rom 2:21; Rev 5:2. In 1 Peter 3:19 the probable reference is, not to glad tidings (which there is no real evidence that Noah preached, nor is there evidence that the spirits of antediluvian people are actually "in prison"), but to the act of Christ after His resurrection in proclaiming His victory to fallen angelic spirits; (b) "to preach the gospel as a herald," e. g., Matt 24:14; Mark 13:10, RV, "be preached" (KJV, "be published"); 14:9; 16:15,20; 8:1; 9:2; 24:47; 8:5; 19:13; 28:31; 10:14, present participle, lit., "(one) preaching," "a preacher"; 10:15 (1 st part); 1 Cor 1:23; 15:11,12; 2 Cor 1:19; 4:5; 11:4; Gal 2:2; Phil 1:15; Col 1:23; 1 Thess 2:9; 1 Tim 3:16; (c) "to preach the word," 2 Tim 4:2 (of the ministry of the Scriptures, with special reference to the gospel). See PROCLAIM, PUBLISH. (from Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright (c)1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers) The reference says "Present participle" in reference to Col 1:23 I believe thats where I made the error in saying present tense.
