How Many Brothers Read Beth...?

1. I agree that some writers overkill in their reference to a particular Greek word.

The reference to the Greek is okay. It's plugging the English derivative back into the verse that bugs me. Like, "[the gospel] is the dynamite of God unto salvation". Give me a break.

Also, Rick Warren pulled a nasty one when he pointed out that "energeo" is where we get our word "energize", therefore, "It is God who energizes you to will and to do". Bzzzt. Wrong. It is God who WORKS IN YOU to will and to do ["do" also being translated from energeo, by the way]. You can't retranslate the verse based on a derivative word. It's translated "work" not "energize".

I have read briefly some stuff of Beth Moore in christian book stores, but no not for me either. :type:

Well...I'm a woman, but I am actually in the middle of Beth Moore's Daniel study right now. This Sunday will be our fifth session of the study, and we actually have one guy that comes to the study with his wife every week and seems to enjoy it. She is very insightful, and I believe she tries her best to be accurate in what she is teaching. She truly loves God, and her teaching reflects that. I have never read the book being discussed here, but I think if Beth Moore wrote it, it is probably really good! :thumbs:

Ok, I'm a woman, too.....(hear me roar!)

I like Beth Moore's David study. I thought it was really good.
