Mark

Dave,

I also haven’t had a chance to look at that other reference you gave me, but i thought it important just to highlight again my other point. You used Satan’s speech as proof. For example

‘If you are the son of God, turn these stones into bread”

Now is the meanig the same if we make it the same as 1 Tim 2:15

“you will be the son of God, if you turn these stones into bread”

I suggest that the meaning changes greatly, wouldn’t you agree?

Here is a helpful website to show that the two are actually different types of conditional clauses. http://www.ntgreek.org/learn_nt_greek/conditional_sentences.htm
