Subject: Is God somehow responsible? |
Bible Note: Greetings Beva! I find it interesting that several translations use the term 'predestined' or 'ordained', sine not a single Greek source I counslted lists any sense of 'predetermination' to the word. Here is the entry from short Kittel's: ************************************** prographo 1. Eph. 3:3: ?As I have written above,? a common use (e.g., when referring to a heading). 2. Rom. 15:4. ?What was written previously, in earlier times. 3. Gal. 3:1. The reference here may be a. to public proclamation, e.g., on placards, or b. to vivid depiction. The latter is less likely both because there is no attestation for this sense and a heart-rending description of the cross is less in keeping with apostolic preaching than its public promulgation. 4. Jude 4. The idea here is that of public proscription; the false teachers have been long since listed for condemnation. ******************************************* I also noticed that several translation even added words such as 'ancient writtings' and 'holy writtings'. None of these words are present in the text at all. Have a great day! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
