::::My point in the past is actually coming from your prior comments concerning the usage of "past". You came up with a possible hypothesis that states, "I'm reluctant to expressly draw conclusions but it casts doubt on whether one's personal past exists in any meaningful way. The atheistic reliance on a personal past seems incorrect in light of this information." This implies that you mean "past" as in someones history which is what I referred to. The passages I brought up referred to "before the present" and these meanings are still in use today and I would argue are the primary meaning of the term today. Therefore they are not trivial and you are incorrect to say that the Bible uses versions of "past" that are no longer used today. I gave you dictionary links from websites you personally have cited and both show the "before the present" meaning of "past"--[[User:Lynus|Lynus]] 23:44, 8 January 2009 (EST)

== Original Greek ==
I think it would be of immense use and interest to many readers if the passages used as examples included the original Greek above them. In that way translations can be compared to the original text. Perhaps [http://www.codex-sinaiticus.net/en/ this site] will be of help. [[User:GillianP|GillianP]] 13:34, 10 January 2009 (EST)
