Bible Note: Greetings Ray, With all due respect, the inerrant ability of a language to clarify itself is not found or diagnosed with the use of diacritical marks, as is used in the English Language; it is more explicit when the proper use of syntax is used, which we find in the Koine Greek, of the New Testament! It’s interesting that the Lord chose the Koine Greek as the language of accommodation to present the fantastic truth to us, about Himself and His precious Son. I for one don’t think we can improve on God’s choice or should we even try to second guess the Lord for His excellent choice, which doesn’t consist of the use of large caps, periods, commas, etc, or even paragraph brakes, for that matter, in the original. Just my opinion, which isn’t scripture either by any stretch of the imagination! Have a great day, CDBJ |
