You are side-tracking the conversation. God has been good to us, He has given us a Bible in English.
I do not need to to study Greek. In the future I may study it with my children in homeschool, at this point I am thankful that the Lord gave me a Bible in English.
He has - several actually. The KJV, the NIV, the NASB, the Message. I'm thankful for all of these. I would again suggest that you try to learn Greek - you'd be able to at least make sense of some of the issues that you have, as was mentioned earlier.
[/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]I was waiting for someone to show me what I was missing. But, so far no one has taken the time.
The comments I have received so far have been, "If you only knew Greek then you would understand," "You don't know Greek that is why you are confused," etc. All to sidetrack the discussion, to make the other person feel lower.
But, so far no "scholars" have taken any time to explain to those who know less than they do. I wonder why that is.
Also, please show me from the Bible a verse that teaches that a person must learn Greek?
Since it has never been explained from those who know Greek will someone explain to me who does, why is fasting not listed in 1 Corinthians 7 in the NAS?
And why does 1 Peter 3 tell women that it is ok to wear gold and pearls when 1 Timothy says it is not ok in the NAS?
1 Cor 8:1, "Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth."
Eph 3:19, "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled with all the fullness of God."
