Bible Note: Greetings Beva! Unfortunately, I'm not as tall as Golith! :-) Though versed in Greek, I would not call myself a scholar! ;-) Even if one does not know Greek, many of these questions can be answered by simply using Strongs and Vines. If you check out the four verses I referenced (the only places where this word appears) and if you check out the meaning of the compound word (before - written), it is clear that the word refers to something which had been written previously. There isn't anything of a 'determinitive' nature to the word. If the word had been 'predestined' for instance, then we might have a different story! p.s. - I'll go get my helmet ready! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
