Interchangeable words, or confused meanings?

[KJB1611reader]

Read the English and the context. I see no issue.

We disagree, and since you will always offer up a complaint about someone treating you unfairly when the disagreement takes place, I'm out or this conversation.

Thanks

If two similar but different Greek words are translated into the same English word, then those reading the English translation can not see any distinction. That IS the problem.

No its not.

No its not.

Yes it is.

As Mr. Churchill said, "Is this the sort of tommyrot up with I must put."

We can understand every usage of G4560 (Romans 7:14, 1 Corinthians 3:1, 2 Corinthians 3:3 and Hebrews 7:16) to refer to unsaved, people in the natural non-indwelt state or to material physical unspiritual things.

Romans 7:14
For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am unregenerate, under sin.

1 Corinthians 3:1
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to unregenerates and, as to infants in Christ.

2 Corinthians 3:3
being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of physical hearts.

Hebrews 7:16
who has become such not on the basis of the law of physical requirements, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

This thread starts off as a three post thread. Do I understand it? No.

Everyone should understand how important it is for Bible Believers to accurately understand what the Bible is saying.

When we think a word, as translated, means "A" but actually means "B" we have turned away from Truth.

That is why we are to study or be diligent so we can accurately handle God's word.
