| | + | :August, your rant is amusing, but you make mistakes too. You bluster, in bolded text, that "Andrew Schlafly has proofed ..." Proper grammar would be "proved". |
| | + | |
| | + | :More generally, there are logical flaws in your approach. Strong's had no access to thousands of conservative terms developed in the past 120 years, or to the vast expansion in understanding of ancient Greek during that same time. You shouldn't cling to him. You also shouldn't pretend that intelligent people like Jesus speak to physical objects like the sea. Your reliance on how words are used in dissimilar contexts is logically fallacious. |
| | + | |
| | + | :The bottom line is that you protest too much. Your linguistic insights are helpful but logic, science, new conservative terminology, and new understandings about ancient Greek all also important. It is also important that translators of the Bible believe in its truth. Do you?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 12:03, 10 April 2017 (EDT) |
