    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    The BDAG is the 3rd edition and it prefers ...."μονογενὴς υἱός is used only of Jesus. The renderings only, unique may be quite adequate for all its occurrences here" It notes others prefer "only begotten", but then adds, "in this case it would be analogous to πρωτότοκος (Ro 8:29; Col 1:15 al.)"...

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    The KJV was the greatest translation for centuries. Therefore it must always be the greatest right? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Why are you calling an out of print lexicon "the standard"? Because JoJ likes it? Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    Lack of competition from your century does not mean you are the best. We are blessed with tremendous talent in the studies of the Greek language like no other generation has ever seen. We have Wallace, Black, Plummer, Kostenberger, Mounce, Pennington, Zacharias, Merkle, Baugh and others. Sent...

    ...and how do you judge Roberston to be greater than Wallace. This is a claim that cannot be proven or disproven. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    I will however point out that you are supplying the word "eternally" here. Can you provide a verse where Jesus is called μονογενες before the virgin birth or do you mean he will "always" be μονογενες from the birth and throughout time after? In my opinion, Jesus' μονογενες status is in the...

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    I would agree with that .. .. And I think the emphasis is on that unique status. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    I feel you are stretching this too far. The reference to Moses and the serpent pole indicates a change of thought. Our"red letter" Bibles imply Jesus is still speaking in verse 16, but it is very likely John is speaking here and explaining Jesus' "being lifted up". We would be consistent then in...

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    I dont know if that is the case. In the 2nd and 3rd century examples where it was used towards children could be taken as a reference to there status as "one of a kind". Demonstrating their unique status within the family. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    I haven't finished reading it yet, but early observations, I find his etymological argument weak. "root gen seems to be closely related to genn, the root of gennaō, ‘to bring forth by birth’," "Seems close"....really. I find his argument of Abraham/Issac even weaker. He also never...unless he...

    Regarding John 3:16, which do you prefer?

    To quote you...."You would be presuming quite a bit there!" To assume Robertson is more knowledgeable than Wallace is a big jump. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to prove that. Especially in the light of the fact that Wallace has the advantage of reading Robertson and others and...

    Interesting Times and Changing Times in the SBC

    The progressives over reached with this conference. I think it will cause the conservatives to bring the conservative resurgence 2.0 to the SBC. They are giving Tom Buck, Tom Ascol and others tons of ammo heading into the next convention. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

    Regarding John 3:16, which is it? Should not perish or shall not perish?

    They are part of a hina (ίνα) clause. It indicates puporse. The subjunctives are not uncertain in this ίνα clause(or any hina clause that I have seen). It is a standard purpose clause construction. The "condition" to make the subjunctives a reality occured on the other side of ίνα. The NET...
