Dr. Conrad wrote in the archives:
"APARNEOMAI, deny, renounce,...in Lk 12:9 APARNHQHSETAI must be understood as passive, although this verb never appears in "active" form."
Lk 12.9 hO DE ARNHSAMENOS ME ENWPION TWN ANQRWPWN APARNHQHSETAI ENWPION TWN AGGELWN TOU QEOU
Why would APARNHQHSETAI not be considered a Causative Middle? Does not this individual cause the second denial by his first denial? How would it be translated if Causative Middle were possible?
Next question: Is there a Causative Passive? If so, how would that be translated here?
