And notice that not all of those are the same word in Greek. And you didn't actually exegete. You went with English words, and you went with KJV English, not the original languages.

 

Logos says 10 results from the same word.

 

Do you trust Logos word study? Do you think they know more than us?

 

Not all of the verses you posted are same word.

 

I don't blindly trust any tool and neither should you. It also depends on your expertise with the tool.

All using the same word according to Logos word study.....

 

So you know more than Logos? Why don't you correct them by listing your degrees in ancient Greek?

 

No but I know how to use Logos, you obviously do not. Here is the report on Rev 1.1 to show what references include the word that is used there:

Jn 12:33, 18:32, 21:19, Acts 11:28, 25:27, Rev 1:1

Notice only two of those are from your list.

 

What makes you think you know how to use Logos when you deny the results of a basic word search?

 

All I provided came from The KJV Logos word search based on John's use of Signified.

 

I didn't deny the results of a basic word search.

 

And notice John didn't use the word "Signified" that is an English word. John wrote in Greek. Just saying...

 

It's the English translation of σημαίνω

 

What makes me think I know how to use Logos? Well for starters, I am on of the people who helped curate and build their systematic theologies tool when it first came out. I'm one of the private beta testers (not to be confused with public beta), I routinely am in contact with their upper management about projects, bugs, and ideas. So yeah, I know how to use Logos.

 

How so?

 

I don't trust your position so none of this matters.

 

Correction, it is ONE of the translations. And signify does not always mean symbolism. If I signified that I am going to vote a certain way, is that symbolism? No. It can mean signal, make known, report, give a sign, sound an alarm, etc.

 

Because I gave you the results of a basic word search.
