Acts 13:48 multiple choice question

Richard:

I think you are assuming that the Greek text itself
is the deciding factor in how one is to understand the text.
This is a naive approach if you ask me.

Presuppositions determine how we interpret a text. I do not mean
that the Greek is open to any and all options, but I am saying
that one's presuppositions will have a significant bearing on how
one interprets a text. It seems to me you need to address the
presuppositional issues rather than the Greek issues. But I will
admit I have not managed to gain many followers to this view of mine.

More times than not a Passive is chosen because it better supports one's
theological presuppositions. Same with choosing the Middle.

The only problem I have with this discussion is the failure
to realize that there is great latitude in translating and
interpreting Scripture.

How else can one measure one's heart?

My thoughts,

Mark Wilson
