Re: aorist participles
Dear GRogers, Having been a Basketball Official for 24 yrs (3500 games) when I retired in 2010 I always remember this rule of thumb, "Know your definitions; when in doubt check the Case Book." Now, the High School Rule Book consisted of many different rules (10 and broken down from there),...

Re: εγω ειμι
Dear Barry, Your welcome. BTW, I wonder how this would fit in the discussion regarding the authorship of John and Revelation since the same phrases are being used in both books?

Re: εγω ειμι
Dear Barry, Thanks for the comments. Now regarding ὁ ὢν. Besides Exodus 3:14 whereit is found 2x, it is also found in I Kings 16:22 (regarding the followers of Omri). Matt 12:30 ὁ μὴ ὢν μετ’ ἐμοῦ κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν, καὶ ὁ μὴ συνάγων μετ’ ἐμοῦ σκορπίζει. Luke 11:23 Ὁ μὴ ὢν μετ’ ἐμοῦ κατ’ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν, καὶ...

Re: THE or A Messiah - Joh 4,25
Dear Peter, The noun, Μεσίας, is used as a definite noun and should have the article. This is further clarified by Jesus Himself when He says, "λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγώ εἰμι, ὁ λαλῶν σοι ," Carl has also given the corresponding lexical data as well. I would also highly recommend the follow...
