Subject: 2 Cor 4:4 |
Bible Note: Tim, 1, 2, and 3 I am cool with. No problem with anything. 4) By my asking if you are smarter or more intelligent or have a 'better' understanding of the ancient text I meant since you interpret 2 Cor 4:4 to mean Jehovah God is doing the blinding and NOT one of the 19 translations listed on biblegateway.com you must have some way of interpreting this that none of the translation teams used on the 19 translations were able to figure out. I commented on how I was not able to find 'ho theos' in the Strong's Concordance, as you claimed, and you made no comment. I asked if you had ever read Romans 12:2. Then listed the three references provided in the NASB translation for 'the world' which are Matt 13:22; Gal 1:4; 1 John 2:15. Then I asked you to read these three verses, if you go to www.biblegateway.com and look up Romans 12:2 using the NASB, you will then be able to follow the link to these three and be able to view/read them all on one page, and then asked you to please post how after reading these verses, you could still have the same view of who was doing the blinding in 2 Cor 4:4. No, I do not think you should go with what someone else says. You have every right to do any and all research that you are capable of doing. We all just need to be careful with the information obtained during the research, as it might not always be correct. Mike |
