@elemayohoh @HolyHomebody Finally, the NT’s use of Greek wasn’t a deviation from Jewish tradition but an extension of it. Like the LXX, it ensured that God’s message could reach the world, a key goal

@elemayohoh @HolyHomebody Wow, can’t say I’ve heard anyone argue this way before. Greek was the lingua franca of the Roman Empire, widely spoken by Jews in the diaspora and in Judea. The NT authors—being bilingual—wrote in Greek to reach a broader a...

@BornAgainMissy Why anyone thinks that Paul’s purpose was to stop the teaching of truth from one half of the body to the other half is beyond me. Paul’s instruction in his personal letter to Timothy was to remain in Ephesus to stop certain ones from...

@King_Brody @pastherandie Brody, are you assuming ‘head’ (literally the top of the body—it’s not a complex word) means authority or commander? Where does this idea come from? Is it context? Why isn’t ‘authority’ or ‘commander’ ever used for Jesus ove...
