Bible Note: Greetings Pcdarcan! You wrote: "I'm not sure what version of the Gk scriptures Tim is alluding to by his concluding remark: "Yet, your proof that there is in fact other 'elohim' is to apply 2 Cor. 4:4 to Satan, even though the name 'Satan' does not appear any where in the passage! :-(" Here's what the Living Bible (Complete Catholic Edition) says in 2Cor4:4: "Satan, who is the god of this world..." Interesting that this version of the Christian scriptures makes it plain who Paul was alluding to as "the god" of this world - none other than Satan! My other message threads contain the scriptual explanations of why these translators knew Satan to be the god of this world and didn't beat around the bush in identifying him." My response is simple my friend - the word 'Satan' does not appear in ANY Greek text of this passage. The Living Bible is a paraphrase, not a translation. The authors of the Living Bible have interpreted this passage as a reference to Satan, but the word 'Satan' DOES NOT APPEAR in the text itself. However, Jehovah's comments in Isaiah are exactly as I have quoted them! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
