Re: Android support for polytonic Greek

I would just add that I picked up a Windows Surface RT tablet last week, and it supports polytonic Greek (even input) natively. I'm very disappointed in Android for their lack of attention. We have yet to hear anything about even an attempt to solve this problem. The community just doesn't care - be...

Re: Heb 2:5-9 in NIV - αὐτόν as "them"

The NIV2011 translator appears to not have taken into account the context of the Psalm in which YHWH ADONAI is praised for Creation. Man, although created last, is lower in power and the angels, but crowned with glory and honor above all creation; is made, is set up to rule over all of God's Creati...

Re: Heb 2:5-9 in NIV - αὐτόν as "them"

I think that, in general, if the referent is really to a generic person according to the context, it is alright (though not necessary) to use a corresponding generic term in the target language, and in English plural personal pronoun does seem to be an acceptable generic term in many such cases. Ho...

Re: Heb 2:5-9 in NIV - αὐτόν as "them"

Jason, are you aware that this is simply the issue of gender neutrality in translation? How can we possibly discuss this issue on B-Greek without diving into the deep of interpretation? ;) There is plenty of "information" that you can find by searching Google on gender neutral translation...

Heb 2:5-9 in NIV - αὐτόν as "them"

Χαίρετε, ὦ φίλοι. Heb 2:5-9 (SBLGNT) Οὐ γὰρ ἀγγέλοις ὑπέταξεν τὴν οἰκουμένην τὴν μέλλουσαν, περὶ ἧς λαλοῦμεν· διεμαρτύρατο δέ πού τις λέγων· Τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὅτι μιμνῄσκῃ αὐτοῦ , ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν ; ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρ’ ἀγγέλους, δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν , πάντα ὑπ...

Re: Matthew 12:32 τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου,

In other words...

ἅγιον πνεῦμα = τὸ ἅγιον πνεῦμα
πνεῦμα ἅγιον = τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον
ἅγιον πνεῦμα = πνεῦμα ἄγιον

It's all the same. :)

Re: Matthew 12:32 τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου,

One thing that you'll learn on B-Greek is that we kindly request that you post the Greek text of a verb when you ask a question. In this case: Matt. 12:32 καὶ ὃς ἐὰν εἴπῃ λόγον κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ· ὃς δ’ ἂν εἴπῃ κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος τοῦ ἁγίου , οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται αὐτῷ οὔτε ἐν [a]το...

Re: Sarah Howell

Hello, Sarah. Religious conviction is surely not a requirement for participation on B-Greek. At the same time, we insist that participants avoid posting their theological opinions of texts and stick to the meaning of the written words, the syntax of the verse in question, etc. Have you thought of ge...

Re: Android support for polytonic Greek

I just got it completely fixed. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17748835/web_images/2013-06-10%2013.19.45.png I had to root my device and use a Root Explorer to replace the Roboto fonts. If you want an explanation, let me know. For now, I've got polytonic Greek displaying perfectly in normal, bo...

Re: Android support for polytonic Greek

Well, I hate to say, but I had to root my phone, change from the stock ROM (which was very limited). I then did a full backup and installed the Font Installer again (with a better ROM) and it worked. It's a problem of compatibility with the stock T-Mobile ROM... and now I've got the full Unicode Ari...
