Oh I definitely believe that In vs On can change a meaning but it depends on context. Multiple sentences can be the same exact proposition, but sometimes tiny change can result in a different proposition. “The bug is on the rubber ball” is a different proposition than “The bug is in the rubber ball.” But in the verse I referenced we have a comparison between God’s will being done equally in two different places. In such a comparison In vs On is inconsequential (even if elsewhere “In the Earth” DOES have special meaning). Nobody in church is listening to that and thinking that it’s saying God’s will be done in Hell as it is in Heaven.Do you really think that change has no meaning? The abode 'on' earth is the abode of man and creation. 'in' the earth is more the realm of demons and even deeper in the earth, hell it's self.
Let's look at some more of those 'On' to 'In' changes, although this seems to be a minor point for you..
Genesis 4:12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Genesis 4:14 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. (KJV)
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. (KJV)
Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (KJV)
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (KJV)
Luke 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. (KJV) This particular verse, and the surrounding verses have just gone totally whacky! This almost was identical to Matthew 6. Only real difference being "debts" and "debtors" in Matthew, and trespasses in Luke... No More.
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; (KJV)
Idk, there’s an awful lot of translation disputes out there, and some textual criticism issues too. This just seems like one of those cases to me, however I can’t make any kind of definitive stance because I am not familiar with those detailed textual arguments, I am happy if the jist of what is being said doesn’t look contradictory to me.Here's a major meaning alteration for you:
See if you think that doctrine has been totally destroyed.
Acts 19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. (KJV) It's my contention, with also some residue, that "since you believed" was added to this verse.
Yes I know. Do you have any ME examples (Biblical or not) where you think that the proposition clearly changed, instead of just a tiny sentence change? For example, even though there is technically a difference between the propositions “Momma said life is like a box of chocolates” and “Momma said life was like a box of chocolates” the context isn’t meant to be taken that literally so it’s the same proposition. Nobody thought that Forest was saying that his mom used to believe that life was like a box of chocolates but then changed her mind and thought that it wasn’t like a box of chocolates anymore.The ME isn't only restricted to bible changes, as a reminder.
