Bible Note: Greetings Biblicalman! 1) When did I challenge your knowledge of Greek? In my very first post on this topic, I explicitly stated that some view Rom. 7:14-25 as an historical present and some don't. I never said you were 'wrong' to hold to your view. I simply presented the evidence for why I hold mine. Please provide me with the quote where I accused you of falsely using Greek. 2) Aorist: Like the present tense, there are a wide variety of uses for the Aorist: inceptive, gnomic, ect... At it's core, the aorist tense is 'timeless', so I'm not sure if you are referring to that or to the gnomic aorist. The second aorist is a matter of form, not function, so I'm not sure what you mean on it. But, my friend, when it is appropriate, I will use my knowledge of Greek. I am no A. T. Robertson, but I spent too many years studying Greek simply to never refer to it again. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
