Hi. I've been on this site for a short time, and have, until now, neglected to introduce myself. I apologize for skipping that... It may have helped me feel more welcome than I have been made to feel here so far. No worries, from my point of view, I've simply stumbled onto another group of...

Is that true of all such biblical words? "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." 1. Define the word "earth" as used in Scripture. What is "earth?" If you believe it to be a reference to the entire planet Earth, then you are guilty of what you've accused me of doing...

Thanks, I think.... For now, I'll trust a verifiable dictionary definition over the exegetical prowess that you've displayed in correcting the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Full disclosure: I've been translating Scripture from its original languages for more than three decades. But if your...

I'm sorry you're too busy for me. I get that a lot. If you're going to present an "older writeup that defends [your] viewpoint," forget it... I have scripture that defends the scriptural viewpoint that doesn't require any level of study, especially "deep diving." I couldn't imagine anything...

This post is the most unbiased and inclusive application I've ever read on this topic. You've embraced "both sides" of what has wrongly become a point of contention amongst believers. It is astounding how much ill-response was generated by this non-dogmatic, fair perspective on Scripture...

Interestingly, the Greek word translated here as "greater," [ megas ], is translated another 150 times as simply "great." (In the kjv, anyway) In the summary of translations, this same word is listed under "12 misc" translations. ( translated as "loud" 33x ) This may seem a small matter to...
