    Tomatoes are doing very well.
    I've gathered a handful of ripe tomatoes but the main crop is still a week or two away - the hot weather this week will help a lot.
    Yep I've had a few fall to end rot. It's a bigger problem with the peppers this year.

    Teach me how the interpretation of the first verse (in particular) is effected by dyspy. or covenantal theology.

    And what is the theological bend that you follow?

    That is irrelevant. I have never one single time translated a verse based on my dispensationalism. The exegetical fact is, this verse is narrative, not theology.

    So sure of yourself are you now. well I dont permit others to make up my mind for me. And it is not irrelevant.....rather it shapes ones prospective, however I am, as Ive indicated on another post impartial to it. Up until it affects my life. Then I will really express myself in detail.

    This is actually a forum for talk about translation, not interpretation. How would you translate the verse differently than I did? Or anyone else? Then, on the basis of translation, how can you interpret it your way? You've not challenged my translation, so I'm not real sure what you are doing here.

    Translation is interpretation.

    But interpretation is not translation.

    In the process of translating you have to interpret before arriving at what will be your final text. The two go hand-in-glove.

    Well, whatever. That still doesn't mean I'm obligated to discuss dispensationalism on this forum with EWF. The prospect doesn't attract me at all. :sleep:

    no need for that though, as while Calvinism has the correct view in doctrine of Sotierology, Dispy has a better understanding of Eschatology, and the vey natures of how God has operated in Administarations of Grace towards man!

    Who says that Dispensationalism has a better understanding of eschatology?...Yes,that's right...Dispensationalists! The same goes for the other categories you tried to horn-shoe in.

    Yeah, well, perhaps it is more important to find flaws with our own selves.

    Rob, lets be honest..... do people need to define themselves by this? Look what it leads to & you know that is just one more divisive tool the devil uses against us. Me, Im loose to it all....and I try to follow Christ only....otherwise Im just beggin for getting set up by some bean-head attempting to dicktate my personal relationship with God.

    You have read & studied the Sermon on the Mount. Do you really that is what Christ was teaching or was he proclaiming the Kingdom of God?
