Motivated both by this query and the only so far response to it by ??
(sorry, I cannot recall his name after I accidentally erased his message),
I opt for an alternative, sort of middle-of-the-road interpretation as
follows: a vine/branch/tree that produces no fruit is not burdened by 
extra weight, therefore it is likely to reach higher; metaphorically
speaking, "shallow characters tend to stand out" (unfortunately ...).

I notice at this point modern Greek "EPAIROMAI" = "brag", but I do not
know that verb's "orbit" in (modern) Greek.

A little bibliographic info on Linneman's books:

Is There a Synoptic Problem? (Grand Rapids, Baker Book House) $10.99
Historical Criticism of the Bible (Baker Book House)  $9.99

These are fairly recent books and should be available in Christian 
book stores.  If stores don't have them in stock, they can get them 
from their major distributor, Spring Arbor : - )

Subject: Classics Resources: more than you asked for

Some time B.E. (Before Easter) I promised a list of online discussion=20
lists in Classics; now that I've been "dunned" for it by Edgar Krentz,=20
here it is. In fact, I have prefaced to the brief descriptions of the=20
lists and how to subscribe to them a copy of the "home page" of the main=20
Classics web site, which is also accessible by gopher at the URL=20
indicated. This home page will give you a sense of the vast resources=20
that are available in the general area of ancient Mediterranean=20
antiquity, and you can get to most of these resources directly through=20
the Michigan web or gopher site. With Mosaic or a compatible WWW client=20
that does color graphics, you'll also have access to a wealth of photos, et=
c.
Enjoy.

Classics resources by WWW:
What follows below is the home page of the major web site for all
Classics resources, reachable at:

     http://rome.classics.lsa.umich.edu/cma_mods.html

The same resources are reachable by gopher at:

     gopher://rome.classics.lsa.umich.edu/00

The home page itself is then followed by information on several=20
of the Discussion Lists that concern themselves with ancient
Mediterranean antiquity (the only lists I have deliberately=20
excluded, assuming they are known to this list, are b-greek=20
and b-hebrew!).

ANNOUNCEMENT:  NEW LIST SERVER

The University of California at Irvine (UCI) has been home to the
Thesaurus Linguae Graecae Project (TLG) since 1972 and is now
embarking
upon a second major computer-based project aimed at conversion of the
Thesaurus Linguae Latinae (TLL) into electronic form.  With the
location
at UCI of both these electronic resources, it is to be expected that,
in
long-range terms, UCI will become a major focal point of lexicographic
and linguistic research in ancient Greek and Latin.  Thus it only
makes
sense to institute here a new list server called LEXI, which is
intended
to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of issues
related
to the Greek and Latin languages and lexicography.

In addition, the list server can constitute a vehicle for obtaining
information, and responding to inquiries about the progress of work on
both TLG and the electronic version of TLL.

Although the focus of LEXI will be primarily on Greek and Latin
language
and lexicography, the list server can also be used to deal with issues
of
a more general nature.  Furthermore, departments, institutions, and
projects wishing to make general announcements about projects in
progress, conferences, and available resources should feel free to use
LEXI as a bulletin board for posting such information, as well as for
making the appropriate cross-postings.

To subscribe to LEXI, send the following message (no subject) to
listserv@uci.edu:

There are also passages can falsify the Farmer-Griesbach Two Gospel
Hypothesis (Mk being a conflation/condensation of Mt and Lk).  The
explanation for Mark's conflation is that Mark made a single pass
through the rolls of Mt and Lk.  Since Mt and Lk are occasionally out
of sequence with respect to each other on Markan parallels, we should
expect Mark to more closely the wording of the in-sequence source.
I haven't made an investigation of Mark's wording, but the following
twenty or so passages are key in testing the 2GH's prediction:

Case I.  Matthew out of sequence relative to Mark-Luke

A.  Healing of Simon's Mother-in-Law Mk 1:29-31=Lk 4:38-39 (cf. Mt 8:14-15)
    Healings and Exorcisms           Mk 1:32-34=Lk 4:40-41 (cf. Mt 8:16-17)
    OR
    Withdrawal and Preaching         Mk 1:35-39=Lk 4:42-44 (cf. Mt 4:23-25)
    Healing of a Leper               Mk 1:40-45=Lk 5:12-16 (cf. Mt 8: 1- 4)
    [ It's hard to determine which set of passages here is either in or
    out of sequence. ]
B.  Appointment of the Twelve        Mk 3:13-19=Lk 6:12-16 (cf. Mt10: 1- 4)
C.  The Lamp                         Mk 4:21-23=Lk 8:16-17 (cf. Mt 5: 5)
    Measure for Measure & more       Mk 4:24-25=Lk 8:18    (cf. Mt 7: 2, 13:2)
D.  The Stilling of the Storm        Mk 4:35-41=Lk 8:22-25 (cf. Mt 8:23-27)
    Gerasene                         Mk 5: 1-20=Lk 8:26-39 (cf. Mt 8:28-34)
    Jairus' Daughter & Woman's Faith Mk 5:21-33=Lk 8:40-56 (cf. Mt 9:18-26)
E.  Mission of the Twelve            Mk 6: 7-13=Lk 9: 1- 6 (cf. Mt10: 9-14)

Case II.  Luke out of sequence relative to Mark-Matthew

A.  Call of Simon and Andrew         Mk 1:16-18=Mt 4:18-20 (cf. Lk 5: 1- 3)
    Call of James and John           Mk 1:19-20=Mt 4:21-22 (cf. Lk 5: 4-11)
B.  Jesus' Family                    Mk 3:20-22=Mt12:24    (cf. Lk11:15)
    Scribes Accusing Jesus           Mk 3:23-30=Mt12:25-32 (cf. Lk11:17-21+)
C.  The Mustard Seed                 Mk 4:30-32=Mt13:31-32 (cf. Lk13:18-19)
D.  Rejection at Nazareth            Mk 6: 1- 6=Mt13:53-58 (cf. Lk 4:16-30)
E.  Pharisees Ask for a Sign         Mk 8:11-13=Mt16: 1- 4 (cf. Lk11:29-32)
F.  On Temptations                   Mk 9:42-50=Mt18: 6-10 (cf. Lk17: 1- 4)
G.  Ten Indignant Disciples          Mk10:41-45-Mt20:24-28 (cf. Lk22:24-27)
H.  The Greatest Commandment         Mk12:28-34=Mt22:24-40 (cf. Lk10:25-29)
I.  Woman Annoints Jesus             Mk14: 3- 9=Mt26: 6-13 (cf. Lk 7:36-50)

   The relevant title, I believe, is _Is There A Synoptic Problem?_, and
while we're on the subject, let me mention my favorite:  
John Wenham, _Redating Matthew, Mark and Luke_.  It's really about
the Synoptic problem and proposes a different solution from the usual
theories, which I find more satisfying.  One passage, if you are simply
looking for passages that point to some sort of "problem", are the
Resurrection narratives:  Matt 28; Luke 24 and Mk 16:1-who knows what?.

Thanks for evening out the input into this matter. The citation of the 
Linnemann books had the appearance of weighting this discussion (more a 
posting of bulletins) on one side of the major divide between two-source 
hypothesis and Farmer-Griesbach hypothesis. I've read one of the 
Linnemann books and it does appear to me to shed more heat than light on 
the question.

Subject: Kurios -- Definitions

I'm looking for an answer to this question, to whomever may offer
some information, It would be greatly appreciated...

I would like to know the definition for the following words:
        
 	1) Kurios (Captilized "K")
        2) kurios (Not Capitilized "k")

Strong's (#2692) gives various definitions such as:
        
	a) Mr.
	b) God
	c) Lord
	d) master
	e) Sir

How are we to know which definition applies, and when?

I would like to specifically know the definition of the word
kurios (Strong's #2962), as used in:

	1) Mark 13:35
	2) John 20:28
	3) Romans 10:9


Thanks to all!
God Bless,

Subject: Heptad - Definition?

To any who may have an answer to this question...

I have come across the word "Heptad" in my studies of the book
of Daniel.  One "Heptad" is described as being one of Daniel's
70 weeks.  Please can anyone tell me the origin of this word
(it sounds Greek to me) and the exact meaning of this word?

Thanks to all,
God Bless

Well, for one thing, capitalization is a later invention than the NT 
texts, so it is the editors who have supplied that interpretative help 
(or hindrance?) for the issue.

The problem with the word KYRIOS is precisely that of the German word 
HERR or the French word SIEUR: they refer to one who holds authority, and 
there are degrees of authority that the person to whom the word refers 
may hold. So German can speak of "der Herr" in reference to God--or may 
just as well, in the right context, mean "the gentleman." 

In Hellenistic Judaism KYRIOS was a translation for Hebrew ADONAI, 
"Lord," which was spoken instead of "Yahweh" when one reads the Hebrew 
text and comes to the tetragram, YHWH. Accordingly, in the LXX and 
sometimes in the LXX Kyrios does mean "God." MOST of the NT usages, 
however, are as a TITLE for the risen Jesus, "the Lord Jesus Christ," 
etc., etc.

Specifically, in Mark 13:35 HO KYRIOS THS OIKIAS means the "master" of 
the household, the one who holds authority over all members of the 
household; but of course the parable is talking about the parousia of 
Jesus and so the word has the added sense of "Lord" although its surface 
meaning is as indicated.

In John 20:28 Thomas greets Jesus as "My Lord and my God." There is no 
question here that we have an instance of "the Lord Jesus Christ." In 
fact, my own sense is that for John, the phrase IDEIN TON KYRION is 
equivalent to "experience the epiphany of the risen Lord."

In Romans 10:9 KYRION IHSOUN again has reference to the risen Jesus, "the 
Lord Jesus Christ."

There is a lot more to say on these matters, and I expect others will 
flesh in this little sketch (and correct it, of course, from their own 
viewpoints), but this is for starters.

An accessible discussion of this is available in the following:

Theology_, ed. Colin Brown, vol. 2, pp. 508-20 (Grand Rapids: Zondervan,
