I hate psychological manipulation. I try to run from it in every context.

Does anyone know the name of this book?

This guy is a total douche. Hell for me would be spending an eternity with people like this.

The best way to witness is in the privacy of your own home - alone.

If you can't free yourself from this superstition, do not burden anyone else with this guilt-ridden, self-hating, nonsense.

Love the Lord or burn in hell!

Todd says God is the law and law is God.God is not equal to law in Holy Character.God by Jesus reveals the powerless law is moral and cannot be kept because men are flesh.Jesus Christ is perpetual Virtue not law which is moral. The law it is neither perpetual or the same as God's Character Law wittness is fine but not perfect. Christ Person without law is greater revelation to man's seperation from God. Whoever says different thinks law is better virtue than Christ Himself to convict of sin

@metanoeo1 Here are two Greek versions of Ephesians 4:12. The first is from Westcott and Hort; and the second is from the TR:

pros ton katartismon tōn agiōn eis ergon diakonias eis oikodomēn tou sōmatos tou christou

pros ton katartismon tōn agiōn eis ergon diakonias eis oikodomēn tou sōmatos tou christou

As you can see, they are identical, and your point about manuscripts is moot when discussing Eph. 4:12.

I copied and pasted these from biblio.com. ONLY THE TRANSLATION IS AT ISSUE

T. David Gordon and Sydney H. T. Page make the most compelling arguments in favor of the true purpose of the five-fold ministry (to actually do the work of the ministry, not equip others to do it).

@angusmcpherson Yes, it is a Latin name. However, it is a Latin name for an actual Greek manuscript that, as I stated, predates your beloved Textus Receptus by over 1100 years. See, the T.R. is in Latin and wasn't written until around 1520 A.D., whereas the Codex Sinaiticus is in Greek and was written around 350-370 A.D. The T.R. includes some transferring of the Vulgate because Erasmus didn't use Greek manuscripts for everything. So he used a Latin text to write a Latin text, see.

For two excellent articles on Ephesians 4:12, and why modern versions have it wrong, please read T. David Gordon (just google) and Sydney H. T. Page (on JSTOR).
