To begin with the author is not a
man Bill
My apologies to men.
<SNIP> Yet you and your
scholarly friends (most especially Lance) make the
claim that an ordinary person (a plain old vanilla Christian
ignorant of Greek) can not know God's Word for one reason or another - the
corrupted transcripts being one ... reformation
thinking being another ...
This is not true, Judy. I have not made this claim, nor
does Lance make it. I do think there is a paramont role within the Church for
teachers -- trained, mature leaders who are gifted with the ability to
disciple "vanilla" learners.
Did God in His foreknowledge miss
this one?? No.
<SNIP> Using Gk grammar to make everything future is what
the author of what you call "the polemic" was speaking of.
Your sarcasm is noted, Judy, but I am not making
"everything future." I am saying that the "to be" verb in this particular
verse as recorded in the TR text is in the future tense and
indicative mood.
