jehovah's witnesses proclaim the good news of the kingdom under the power of god's holy spirit.
jesus commanded his followers to preach in the most distant parts of the earth and promised them that the spirit of god would guide them in this life-saving work (acts 1:8).. without the spirit of god, one cannot continue preaching about jesus and god's kingdom (matthew 24:14).
one surely will not have god's spirit if one preaches a negative message (against jehovah's servants) from door to door.
???Neither the name Jehovah nor the Tetragrammaton appears anywhere in the Greek scriptures, you halfwit.
If you want to discuss the meaning of words, at least get the language you are supposed
to be dealing with right.???
Is your head on straight, Farkel? Who said that Jehovah or the Tetragrammaton appears in the Greek bible?
Get your facts right.

I will correct something I did earlier. Proverbs 11:31 should be Proverbs 11:30.

???Thanks for the lesson [8-o]???
You welcome.
???OH by the way which Greek discussion group would YOU suggest? Certainly NOT GEEK-mythology @ yahoogroups.com????
Have you heard of b-greek?
???BTW . . . 'teacher' why do you need a "transliteration" or a "transliteration scheme" if you are such a great teacher. And why do you resort to a $15 bookshelf dictionary to 'teach' from.???
I do not need a transliteration scheme unless I post on Greek lists. Comforter reads Greek with smooth fluency. There was also a purpose in quoting Vine's. I will let you figure that one out.
???Y'wanna git RAW why didn't you use BDB or TDNT????
I use them both along with BAGD and LSJ.
???Oh yeah, and:
Did you know that onyl Jehovah is given such a title in the KJV?
In Ps. 111:9 -- which is the only place in the KJV where the word "reverend" appears, the term refers to holiness. And since our mandate from Him is:
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 1Pe 1:16
maybe having a title that honors Him, and that honors the beauty of holiness ain't so bad.
Whattaya think???
I think I have a problem with people giving themselves a title that only belongs to God. I would say that "reverend" used in the psalm does not mean holiness. It means awe-inspiring.

Dear Reverend J
Did you know that onyl Jehovah is given such a title in the KJV? I guess you did not know that either. I am not going to waste time with you since you cannot see what 1 Corinthians is clearly saying. But let me correct one of the many errors you make.
???Actually YOU are wrong. An 'eta' is a LONG E.???
I never said eta was not represented by the English long 'e'. My comments have to do with transliteration schemes.
???So regardless to what the "internet convention" might be, from a pronunciation standpoint, 'e' would be correct.???
We are talking about transliteration and not pronunciation. Typing mh is correct. But me (with a mark over it) is ok too.
??? The 'h' is used -- NOT becausse of some non-existent "internet convention" but because English language word-processors tranlsate the 'h' into 'eta' when you convert any font to "Greek' or "symbol"???
Join an internet group that discusses Greek and you will see that they use 'h' (capitalized normally) for eta.
The teacher is tired of correcting error for today.

???Actually, it's 'me sunanamignumi' nottokeepcompany,???
Actually you are wrong. The usual internet convention is to transliterate the Greek eta with an 'h' and not an 'e' which is reserved for epsilon.
Vine's Expository Dictionary also says:
"to mix up with (sun, "with"), ana, "up," mignumi, "to mix, mingle." You is wrong.
???And the passage says absolutely NOTHING about an 'ousted brother' it says:
"But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer (reviler), or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.??? Can't you read. The verse says that if anyone practices these things and "is called a brother" do not mix with them. Get your glasses on. ???Stop your pathetic attempts with the Greek -- you don' have enough knowledge to push it. Just stick to your little NWT, and you won't betray your very apparent ignorance??? Who is ignorant now, dearie? All you got is a little bit of preacher Greek. You are not even up to the level of Vine's. Slam dunk! Comforter |

I do not associate with anyone in this place. I am merely a nomad, a drifter and a pariah to you people. Like a mist, comforter will be here for a little while and then disappear. Furthermore we two have never talked much. So how can you say I have been associating with you? I just do not see it.
But the Bible uses the phrase mh sunanamignusthai ("not to be mixing selves up with") to command Christians not to socialize with ousted brethren. Now if you want me to leave I will be glad to. But I interpret the Greek differently than you do. I am in the this place but not a part of it.

Dear out
It depends on one's locality. People my way still use "it" knowing full well that the baby is either a boy or girl. I think that child is a neuter noun. If that is the case, then one can use the word "it" when speaking about a child. I know that Greek word for child is neuter.

Stinky P
I would say that the Scriptures tell Christians not to associate with ousted brethren (1 Corinthians 5:11-13). But I might then ask what it means to associate with someone. Is it associating with ousted brethren if I come to this place? I do not understand the biblical command that way.
I do not fraternize or hobknob with ousted brethren. So am I really violating the Bible?
I know you also joking about the genius comment. Thanks anyhow.

To all you pedantics who criticized me for calling a child "it" you know nothing about English grammar. A child can be a girl or a boy. To cover my bases, I say "it." There is nothing wrong with this usage. It is common in English. Have you never heard anyone say about a baby, "Isn't it cute"?
