::Andy, you know perfectly well, because you participated in the discussion, that I wrote about the meaning of άνθρωπος on the Conservative Bible Project talk page on Friday, 24 hours before (not 3 minutes after) editing this paper. If you can cite an authoritative dictionary which translates άνθρωπος in New Testament Greek (not modern urban slang) as 'man' in the sense of a masculine person, we have something to discuss. Otherwise, I suggest you accept the translation as 'person' (gender-neutral), supported by authoritative sources. I don't think anonymous claims of expertise help very much in a Bible translation project. [[User:JosephMac|JosephMac]] 17:58, 15 November 2009 (EST)

== Alternative to "Begat" ==
Could the word "fathered" be used in replacement of "begat". It carries the same meaning while being more contemporary. --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 10:50, 15 January 2010 (EST)
