Non-responsive. . .more grammatical gymnastics. . .the hallmark of a certain crowd (though admittedly not to their degree of it, at least not yet).
Show my specifically stated equivocation presented as a direct quote from Scripture.
Anything less is not my "rewriting" of Scripture.
Spoken like a true eisegete.
It's really all very simple:
- Be non-responsive to questions about the definitions of words and long-standing translations of Scripture - and charge your opponent with being non-responsive
- Change the meaning of a word & charge those using the actual definition with grammatical gymnastics.
- Admit you don't need God's commandments/rules and erringly use lesser rules to accuse others of breaking rules
- anakefalaioō means to bring together, to summarize. It does not mean in lieu of.
- In Ephesians 1:10 it means all things in Heaven and on earth will be brought together in Christ
- It does not mean Christ will exist in lieu of all things in Heaven & earth
- In Romans 13:9 it means all pertinent commandments in God's Law are brought together in one of God's Commandments in God's Law
- It does not mean that one Commandment exists in lieu of all of God's other Commandments
- In Ephesians 1:10 it means all things in Heaven and on earth will be brought together in Christ
Sorry, Clare, you're outed. Your game is simple in the end. You're fairly pointed in your tactics - you can see how I value what God actually says - so you attack my use of grammatical rules & even venture into hermeneutics. The problem for you is that you are ultimately attacking leagues of translators, lexicographers, and ultimately the words inspired by God that all stand in open & clear disagreement with you.
The word in question does not mean what you say it does and you obviously don't care about rules whether they be of grammar or of all of God's Commandments. It's easy to say you're all about love when you shed much of what defines it and make up your own definition in lieu of God's definition.
This is the "hallmark of a certain crowd" I've already mentioned. They too like to make up their own definitions and aggressively oppose God's rules. The way I read God's Word, once we shed God's rules, we shed God's rule and in practice turn Him into less than He is or deny His existence altogether. Once done, there's no actual, biblical faith, or love for that matter.
Do not steal, Paul says. Notice how he didn't say "do not be unloving"? Well, actually he did because they are equated (as you said earlier before you changed what equate means). It's just that specific points of love need to be addressed and Paul knows what a summary statement is and how and when to use it. Thank God for all of His Commandments - His Word.
