Bible Note: Dear CDBJ Many thanks, you encourage me to go further, Just to clear a point, it was the tutor, not me who went to Oxford. My qualifications are more modest. As you know the smaller words, the conjunctions and prepositions are almost impossible to translate with any degree of certainty. For the moment lets accept your translation, 'but'. This does not remove the imperative of the subject of the sentence, 'God is not willing that any should perish,'. This is the sworn will of God, 'that none should perish' therefore, but, neverless, not withstanding, nay moreover, all should come to repentabce.' Repentance and the acceptance of Christ are essential, that is not the debate, it is the initial statement upon which the object of the sentence is based. 'It is God's will, His promise, His edist, His law (not wish) that none should perish.' As you and I both know 'metanooia' means a change of knowledge, and that is exactly my position, we must leave tradition to be informed of the Holy Spirit. (Mark 7:14 the 2x666th verse of the new testament) Traditions kill the word of God. Your truth is my heresy and my heresy is your truth, praise God but let us still be brothers in Him because that way the truth is verified. (1 Cor 11:19) God bless you brother, you are a man of the word, I thank Him for you, Yours Paul |
