Carl,
You mentioned the text may be translated both way:
>> Yes, and there's an element of consequence or result here,
>> so that you can translate the construction into English as:
>> " ... so that he takes his seat in the temple of God and
>> (thereby) shows that he is God ..."
>> or " ... so that he takes his seat in the temple of god,
>> thereby showing that he is God ..."
I belive the first one is accurate and correct. Why we cannot take the
Greek text 'literally' with attention to presence or absence of the article
(the temple of the God ... he is (a) god)?
