Subject: Is the NWT more reliable than the NASB? |
Bible Note: The difference is, I have the majority on my side in both cases: Most commentators and early church fathers agree with me on Proverbs 8:22-30. Also, simply as a bit of evidence that here in 8 its not talking about literal wisdom, but the personification of such: Pro 8:14 Counsel and sound wisdom are mine; I am understanding; I have strength. The one talking, said to be Wisdom, has wisdom. Clearly it this is a somebody, not a something. Now, the VAST majority of uses of prototokos, especially all with the genitive agree with me. There are a few issolated examples of preeminence, but none with the same construction. You can disagree with me of course, and that is based on your theology, but the evidence is HEAVILY stacked against you. Take care, Tony |
