Folks,
Does the Granville Sharp rule apply only in
cases in which two nouns are joined by the conjunction?
Or does it apply where to phrases or clauses are joined?
For example, John 6: 33, "hO ARTOS TOU
QEOU ESTIN hO KATABAINWN EK TOU OURANOU
KAI ZWHN DIDOUS TWi KOSMWi." Would this rule
apply here to demonstrate that the one coming down
and the one giving life are one and the same?
If I understand this rule correctly, it would not
apply in vs. 35, "hO ERXOMENOS PROS EME OU MH
PEINASHi KAI hO PISTEUWN EIS EME OU MH DIYHSEI
PWPOTE." The reason it does not apply is the repetition
of the article hO. Correct? Since it does not apply, does
this mean that hO ERXOMENOS and hO PISTEUWN
should be taken as different people, or could they still
be the same person?
