Featured Abbreviated Word Study G5087, tithemi

Yet another "taint so" post which includes several ad hominems, i.e. you silly boy, try rereading, and yet you teach?

Working theories get tweaked along the way. Designated and assigned are pretty close in meaning and was simply acknowledging that fact.

 

Your constant, lets change the subject posts make sense to me, since you seem not to know how to actually do biblical word studies.

1 Peter 2:8, and, “A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE”; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this doom they were also appointed.

Again, they were designated or assigned because of their stumbling over salvation through faith and not works.

 

More drivel from those who do not seem to know how to do word studies.

First we have the "you cannot run from me" blowhardism.

Then a repeat effort to change the subject to the context of 1 Peter 2:8.

Then another insult.

Then, an argument from personal incredulity.

Then I am charged, once again, with being unable to admit to error.

On and on it goes, a deliberate effort to derail any discussion of the topic of the thread.

“Tithemi” has three basic meanings,

(1) to set something somewhere;
(2) to change the status of someone for a purpose; and
(3) to present or set forth an idea or account, such as set forth the gospel.​

 

More addressing my supposed behavior, and nothing new concerning the topic.

The second basic meaning of Tithemi is to change the status of someone for a purpose, either by designating a person for a task or office, or by establishing needed characteristics of a person such that they can complete a task or fulfill the requirements of the office.

So if the context indicates a unilateral designation, then tithemi could be translated as "assign" or "designate," but if a person is both equipped and placed, then either "equipped and placed" or "established" seem better translation choices because the gifting by the Holy Spirit is not left out of the text.

More "Van bashing" more change the subject, and more absurdity.

All these hate filled posts from someone who seems not to even know how to do a word study.

Yet another off topic post, referring to a logical fallacy argument. You have got to love them, folks.

Is G5087 translated as assigned? Rippon, the fount of disinformation says no. But "tithemi" is translated as "assigned" in the NASB at Matthew 24:57 and Luke 12:46.

 

Rippon discussed my usage of "assigned" in his post #18, but now pretends otherwise. You have got to love them, folks.

All Rippon is doing is trying to disparage word study by "Van bashing."

Word study helps build our understanding of God's word. That is why we have lexicons, Exhaustive Concordances, Bible Dictionaries, Commentaries, and Study Bibles like the NASB, NKJV, WEB, NET and HCSB.

 

You have got to love them folks. Now we get Rippon the mind reader telling you what I had forgotten.
