Bible Note: Thanks for all of your research! According to the scripts used in the Online Greek Bible (www.greekbible.com), the word epignosis is used in every one of these phrases. I'm not sure exactly what this word implies about the meaning of the phrase, but to me it strongly suggests that it means nearly, if not exactly, the same thing in every case. For clarification, I'd like to know what you mean by "each of us must choose what we think these passages mean." I don't want to assume that you're saying that the Truth of the Word is relative! Please expound your statement. Thanks! |
