You just dropped the mic! That just happened!!! Booo yah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow you wrote a lot. I'm not sure if I can even respond to all of this.

For when one says, “I follow Paul Washer,” and another, “I follow Way of the Master,” are you not being merely human? What then is Kirk Cameron? What is Paul Washer? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each.

It was longer than I prefer. Apologies. You admit the flaw of assumption I have already accused you of. It can be foretelling or just preaching and then you jump to "the future events" as if prophecy must mean that. I find the evidence for that understanding of "prophecy" in Rev lacking. You...

Only insofar as you place so much emphasis on those words so as to hold up your view that this verse and this particular translation explains "the manner in which prayer was to be done". I think the ESV renders the original more accurately than the KJV.

To answer the questions here: Yes it was appropriate. The ESV renders it better and more accurately. We know by examining the Greek. PS-Part of this is flawed unless you make the KJV the standard. The ESV didn't take anything out of the passage that was not there in the first place. Rather, we...

They supplied it to suite the idea I suppose. Just to clarify, I think the "availeth much" matches "has great power" of the ESV. And the "effectual fervent" matches the "as it is working". I may have jumped the gun on trying to understand how the KJV translated what they did. But they still...

It wasn't Markus, that's for sure.

Nope... I say we make a motion to de-canonize this letter. All in favor... PS--How many Greek students cut their teeth on this letter? This was the first book I had to translated, right after Philemon. PPS--Even, you know I'm kidding with you, right?

"effectual" and "fervent" are the equivalent of "great power" and "as it is working". So the ESV doesn't take it out. It translates it differently. Actually, the ESV does a better job of maintaining the word order. The words in questions were at the end of the sentence (less emphasis). But the...

Love the length! Thanks!!! I did not deny that Rev calls itself a prophecy. But that in itself tells us that we need to see how he would understand prophecy to look or sound like. And the writer clearly thought of it as a circular letter for multiple churches and wrote in the style and theology...

The genre of the book of Revelation is no easy matter to address mainly b/c it has elements of multiple genres. Yes it refers to itself as "prophecy" but that doesn't limit its genre either. And in what way is it a prophecy? I think you are assuming something that is predicated on a futurist...

I'm gonna be honest with you, Darrell. You write way too much. I can't read all of it much less respond to everything you write. You analyze each sentence and respond with a paragraph or more. Not necessarily a bad thing, just makes it hard to dialogue. I have made it my goal to keep my...

This is the crux of the issue. And the issue is about one's interpretive approach to Revelation. You are reading it as if it is to be taken literal. I think that is silly mainly b/c that doesn't fit the genre that it is. That goes for the 2 witnesses as a resurrection. And that also goes for 2...

By your definition of resurrection: 1 The other stuff needs its own thread.

I just think this is a naive and unrealistic approach to Scripture. And it is historically not how Christians have approached learning the Bible. So much of this concept comes from the post-enlightenment rationalism and individualism. "We" want to be emmancipated from any kind of perceived...

We've identified one of your problems, then.

B/c of my affinity for David Alan Black, I have used the ISV regularly.

And you don't call lawyers with J.D.s doctors, either. My point was about the research status of LU as well as their poor program in the divinity school.

I wish they would better develop their PhD in the divinity school. A PhD in theology AND apologetics??? One or the other please! How about biblical studies? How about historical theology? How about... PS--D.Min. doesn't count. Those don't impress me at all, and I refuse to call anyone with that...
