    Sure... I want you to teach me that you actually understand Greek.

    But your English grammar, punctuation, and spelling is so horrendous; why should I expect anything else from your abilities in Greek?

    γεγεννηται is the word I already posted. But your not knowing that proves, again, that you don't know the first thing about Greek. And the "has been" is how a perfect tense verb is expressed in English. But, as you don't seem to know that, you seem to be as ignorant of English grammar and syntax as you are ignorant of Greek grammar and syntax.
    γεγεννηται, got it. I posted it earlier, and again in my first response in this post. See it? γεγεννηται. That is the Greek word. γεγεννηται.

    Again, revmwc, please! Stop! You are embarrassing yourself!

    Okay, here is a little test to measure your knowledge of Greek, revmwc.

    Please tell me what this means: ρευμυυκ. Here is a hint. It refers to a person.

    Translate that for me.

    I have sat under sound men and listened to them. I also have studied God's word with an open mind and sought the Spirit's guidance. Now just because folks differ in doctrine doesn't make one anymore right than the other except in their own eyes of course. Now I listen and go through and study what you folks say, problem is everytime I go study it out using as many different helps as possible I get an entirely different meaning than you and yet you and others always want me to change to yours. Have you honestly without prejudice or dependence on what you were taught by whomever taught you thought maybe that teaching was not correct? The pastor I came up under taught some things that I once believed doctrinally sound and find some things that I now disagree with Him on, while holding fast to others, you see teachers, pastors and professors are sometimes incorrect on some things. While spot on with others. I am not always right with what I believe but I am always open to opposing views until by study they are proven right or wrong. God gives man volition that is a hard fast truth, and with that volition man must make a choice to receive or reject Christ. God in His knowledge beforehand elected those who would be saved, because He knew the choices t hey would make. Those gegennEtai born of God that begat of God are begat because of FAith, Faith that by volition they place in Him. If any verb is used it would correct a are born of God. We are Born of God when we choose by Faith to Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

    This isn't merely about differing in doctrine, it's about your blatant error and wresting of Scriptures and of true doctrine being wrested into false. That's way different than a mere 'differing opinion' a phrase you like to slather onto your teaching, as if that were the only issue.

    It's not. You offer much grave error and often.

    Let's apply your standard to say, JW's theology, Mormon theology, the RCC, CoC and etc. They also 'differ' from truth in the same manner as you, and their teachings are just as false.

    Brother mwc, you posted something, and I want to address it in a little snippet...


    God does not have to give man a volition to either accept or reject Him. He already freely rejects Him. He needs no God-given ability to reject Him. He got that from Adam. The volition to accept Him does come from God.

    No, not the sound man at church, nor several sound men from other churches.

    Sound.

    Men.

    i.e. men who are sound in doctrine, like Titus 2:2. :)

    Well, something didn't take because you're not carrying their baton, and you're out on a limb as usual. It's not just that you differ in opinion. No no. You're in grave error my friend.

    I am sure you are...

    I certainly hope you'll correct your error and that you'll quit seeing it as mere 'differing opinion' my friend.

    If I am in error the Holy Spirit will guide me. Not someone on this board, that is His job no one else's.

    The Holy Spirit provided you men, right here and now to correct you, which is also why he gave us Ephesians 4:11-13 in order to avoid pride-filled errors. If you truly adhered to the above you would have never sat under any man as you have stated you have in the past.

    But I digress, you will listen to none while you remain in error and an unteachable state.

    That is hilariously too close to the truth bro! I won't name the dude in the middle but you can probably guess, but the one far right probably broke his collar bone when it got jammed into that limb, and he is flinching in pain!
