We could produce a stricter answer to this question - "The greek is not clear on this point" and leave it at that, but it wouldn't be a particularly useful or instructive answer, a problem that is clear by the - as you put it - homiletic nature of all the answers on this page. I will however have a think about it, and it might help if I cut down some of the flowery language :) | |
| Jan 24, 2019 at 4:35 | comment | added | Jesse♦ | Welcome to Biblical Hermeneutics! Your post is a homiletic walk-through (a sermon segment), not a hermeneutical exegesis (Bible interpretation). It could make a good blog post, but the meat needs to be about the process behind interpreting the Bible. And, your "following is rubbish" statement could be more clearly-worded. I'm not really sure why the text after that is there nor why "rubbish" ideas need to be included. You might try being more concise and direct with what you mean from that point on. Please edit and bring out hermeneutics so the community doesn't vote to delete. Cheers! | |
