Featured Word Study G2525 kathistemi

LOL, neither Rippon nor Yeshua1, seem able to even do a word search, let alone a study. So they want me to find the verses, and then point out that any translation that differs offers a superior view. As I said, all they do is blindly post "taint so!"

 

Yet another change the subject, disparage the post attack from those who seem not to even know how to do word studies.

My word studies are consistent and agree with some scholars, not all of them, but many of them. Why not tell us why your schooling allows you to correct those scholars on the translation teams.

The NASB uses "placed in charge," "render", "escorted" and "set."

 

The NASB uses "placed in charge," "render", "escorted" and "set." My examples of suggested better translation choices of the studied words are found in Bibles, Lexicons, Theological Dictionaries, and other published sources.

Rippon's purpose of posting in these word study threads seems to simply, without any actual knowledge of the subject, to demean and disparage word study and those who engage in it.

 

Now we have Rippon claiming he is once again a mind reader, telling others how I constructed my post. Complete fabrication.

The NASB uses "placed in charge," "render", "escorted" and "set." My examples of suggested better translation choices of the studied words are found in Bibles, Lexicons, Theological Dictionaries, and other published sources.

Rippon's point is that G2525 is not translated with one of those choices in every place it appears. And that supports the view, that greater transparency and concordance would be provided if it was. Willy nilly translation is no virtue, and reaching closer to the goal of transparency and concordance is no vice.

Did I cite authorities to establish my preferences? Nope. So yet another fabrication. I provided my reasoning for my choices.

Next we get a logical fallacy argument, take a poll and pick the winner as the best rendering. Good golly Miss Molly.

Rippon seems to have no actual knowledge of word studies, so yet again he fabricates a false charge that I claim expertise. Go figure.

I did disregare Greektim's view of "Philo" but my view agreed with JOJ.
I did disagree with Greektim's initial claim that "seated himself" violated the syntax of the active verb seated, but was again supported by the NASB translators at Matthew 23:2, and the Apostle John himself in another verse where John used an active voice verb with a reflexive pronoun.

So I heeded Greektim when he was spot on, deleting one of my examples because it really was not the word under study, as he helpfully pointed out.

Bottom line, it is quite simple to choose to translate the same Greek word meaning, as found in lexicons and indicated by context, with the same English word or phrase, in various tenses, and that is the stated goal of many translation teams to provide greater transparency and concordance.

 

Rippon continues his none stop disparagement of word study and those who engage in word study. He seems not to even know how to do a word study.

1) The NASB uses placed in charge, rendered, escorted and set to translate G2525 kathistemi. Does the NASB only use these four? Nope, but as shown, there is no need not to. And to do so would provide greater concordance and transparency.

2) Rippon cannot mind read, he has no idea how I constructed my post.

3) Hi Rippon, I will engage anyone who posts on this forum. I am here to learn, and build up the body in love.

4) My preferences agree with Bible translators for the words under study. But not all translators agree with each other. Therefore my choices agree with some and disagree with others. Note that Rippon suggests to disagree with a translation choice is to "disdain" translators, but somehow to agree with translation choices is not to honor and praise them.

 

The NASB translates G2525 as put in charge.
The NASB translates G2525 as render.
The NASB translates G2525 as escorted
The NASB translates G2525 as set.

Therefore I am praising and honoring the NASB translators in these cases.

Rippon continues to assert he is a mind reader. Nuff said.

 

I see Rippon is continuing non stop his hate speech, spewing falsehoods after falsehoods to disparage the translators and scholars, that I agree with.

I believe the goals of transparency and concordance are spot on, and that those who demean and disparage those goals to advocate for willy nilly translation choices do a disservice to the body of Christ.

 

I not the one using juvenile invective tactics. I am addressing word studies.

If we choose a word meaning based on context and concordance, that is the opposite of making a choice willy nilly. Thus to translate G2525 as "put in charge", "render", "escort" and "set" improves both the transparency and correspondence of the renderings.

 

NASB - appoint(1), appointed(4), appoints(1), escorted(1), made(5), makes(1), put...in charge(4), put in charge(3), render(1), set(1).

Do any other published sources say G2525 means put in charge, render, escort, and set? Yes.

 

Yet another complete fabraction, I have never said the NASB uses "put in charge" at Acts 7:10, 27, and 35.

Notice how much effort I must squander addressing the non-stop fabrications created to demean and disparage me. Rippon is engaged in hate speech.
