It's not a quibble to a linguist, which is what I am. Here is a linguistic definition: "(Languages, words, etc.) that have developed from a common ancestor. E.g. English is cognate with German; likewise English beam is cognate with German Baum 'tree'" (P. H. Matthews, Oxford Concise Dictionary...

By that reasoning the death of Christ was not literal, because Jesus used that exact word in John 12:33 about His death: "This he said, signifying what death he should die." A very similar reference, Jesus "signifying" His death, is John 18:32, "That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which...

Nope. It is mentioned seven times in that one passage. Interpreting by the grammatical-historical message, no symbolic passage even comes close to that.

There is no congruence whatsoever between the two judgments, so how can they be the same? Notice the facts about each judgment: Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Cor. 3 and 5 and Rom. 14:10): a seat; written to Christians (Paul says "we"); burnables and non burnables; no punishment but rewards...

And what you are missing is that 2 Cor. is NOT an apocalyptic book. And even with symbolism there should be some congruence between the two accounts if they are the same judgment, and there is none.

But the description of the two judgments is completely different: seat vs. throne, books, etc. I think your preterist preunderstanding brings you to that statement rather than actual exegesis.

Okay. I felt your statement to be ambiguous.

So again, two questions you did not really answer. 1. Does the bema judgment include lost people? 2. Are there punishments at the bema judgment?

I don't want to misrepresent you, so let me ask a couple of things that are unclear to me from what you have posed (no offense intended): 1. Does the bema judgment include lost people? 2. Are there punishments at the bema judgment? 3. Do you believe the Great White Throne Judgment and the...

"Not award ceremony"? Funny peculiar, since we will received according to the good we have done. Are "gold, silver, precious stones" (2 Cor. 3:12) then some kind of punishment? And "14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward." So, the Judgment Seat of...

2 Cor. 5:10--For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Let me point out here that the word "bad" in this verse is not kakos (κακός), which is moral evil in this...

Yep. There are plenty of crazy Americans. :Biggrin Please don't take the Lord's name in vain. I never have believed in "dumbing down" the Bible. I oppose dynamic equivalence in modern Bibles, but do not oppose any good Bible translation.

Please do not take the Lord's name in vain. The KJV forbids that.

Not a single lexicon referred to in the article. Not a single extra-biblical source (TDNT, etc.). The article appears to say that there will be punishment of Christians at the bema. If that be true, then Jesus did not die for all our sins, and we believers have sins not covered under the blood...

Here's a quote from Dr. Price about DE. If someone wants me to I'll do my best at explaining transformational grammar. “It is quite clear that paraphrase is unavoidable with dynamic equivalence theory. Glassman wrote, ‘It is, in fact, impossible to analyze, transfer and restructure without...

Tempest in a teapot. ;) It's a revision, not technically a new translation. And the list from the link given in the OP is linguistically ignorant. All of those words can be found in a good dictionary, and an educated person (even an American!) regularly uses many. Anyone who doesn't know that...

Here's another OE principle: “Optimal equivalence as a translation philosophy recognizes that form cannot be neatly separated from meaning and should not be changed...unless comprehension demands it” (Holman Christian Standard Bible, “Foreword.” Nashville: Holman Bible Publishers, 2009, v.)...

If that is true, then John the Baptist was a Baptist! ;) Not to mention the Church of Christ, the Mormons, and others who baptize by immersion. Personally, I don't include anyone as a Baptist unless they adhere to a normative version of the Baptist Distinctives. Happy New Year!

A fair question. 1. The conservative Japanese version is analogous to the NASB, and supported by the Lockman Foundation. Like the NASB (and most modern versions they want control over who uses more than a certain number of verses. That's just wrong (2 Cor. 2:17, where "corrupt" in the KJV is...

Such folk don't bother me, but I think they are not understanding something important. When you are living in a pagan land, and they have a pagan festival, pastors want to provide an alternative. For example, when we ministered in Japan we learned that the Japanese have basically paganized...
