Bible Question:
Searcher responded: "Even you just study the book of John, you'll see the Father (111 times) is God." Parson Pat replies: Acknowledged, but I don't to need see the word "Father" (PATHR) repeated another 111 times. I'm trying to possibly identify who that "Father" (PATHR) might be if not "God" (THEOS). IOW, why the difference in both spelling and definition? Do those differences mean anything specific or other than the traditional spin that GOD (theos) equals FATHER (pathr) equals IHSOUS (Jesus)? |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, ParsonPat, To see '"Father" (PATHR) repeated another 111 times', - go to http://bible.crosswalk.com/ - enter father, select New Testament, check Include Study Tools, press [Find] - Under Lexicons, select pater - father ... you'll see next to John, the number 115 - Select John ... and see how many times Father refers to God, vice an earthly father. I not know about the "traditional spin that GOD (theos) equals FATHER (pathr) equals IHSOUS (Jesus)" ... cite your sources that say there is such a tradition. Searcher |
