[QUOTE="Stephen3141, post: 77466659, member: 448643"] An Example: How initial definitions (premises) must be justified as True... I will assert that the world-class New Testament Greek lexicon is "A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature" based on earlier versions of Bauer's lexicon, and edited by a series of editors through the last 300 years... Bauer, Danker, Arndt, Gingrich. This lexicon is a huge compilation of how Christians used the koine Greek language, and it contrasts and compares how non-Christians also used the same language. It is not a single denomination's work. It is referred to in shorthand as (BDAG). This work is so extensive, that most of the usages of a word in the Greek New Testament can be found as an example, listed in this work. If you can't afford the full version, there is a "lite" version. But for serious NT study, you should get the full version.

And individual denominational lexicons are often driven by denominational theological preferences, rather than by the raw research on the biblical languages. ***. If you wish to seriously justify that the definitions that you use, that are mentioned in the New Testament, are True, then you MUST check this reference book, to ensure that the definition of terms that you are using, are actually the New Testament's definition of these terms. *** NOTE that the New Testament authors interpret (properly) the Old Testament, so Christians should be VERY aware of how the NT authors are quoting texts from the Old Testament, or are "quoting ideas" from the Old Testament. NOTE: Although some people will object to using definitions from the New Testament (as doing theology), this is necessary to write proofs/arguments from a Christian point of view. Getting definitions from the New Testament accurate, is upstream of theology. There are anti-intellectual Christian groups that prefer to use a lexicon of New Testament Greek that was developed by a single Christian denomination, but pretty much, every credible cross-denominational seminary in the country, will use this NT lexicon.
