Bible Note: JVH0212, I would say a given Greek word may more than one meaning, in English. It is because we are not a precise. English is a horrible language, we have so many exceptions. We have changed the meaning of the word "gentleman" ... neither of us are, accroding to the orginial. Being gay was acceptable until another meaning was added. Greek is very precise, one of the best to study. However, I wonder why the translators are not more consistent. Even for those who use the same manuscripts. I believe the Eskimos have more than one word for snow--they are more specific. On the other hand, I heard they have one word for blue. We have many. If you have spent 30 years comparing various translations on worship, then you should know more than me. However, if it was a general study, you may not know as much on worship. I do bash the experts, because they are not always right. I also challange them directly. Sometime I do not know the answer, so I use them. However, I agree with Hank that this forum should not be a place to quote experts ... tell us what you think, not what others say. Steve PS I hope you read what I sent. I wnat to improve what I wrote. |
