Re: propheteuo + dative in Jude 14

Stirling, I only saw your post about the Job texts now. I'm not able to read Hebrew or Greek yet, so I'd appreciate if you could summarise in a bit more detail how this relates to the issue at hand. It is very interesting that 1 Kings 22:8 renders the same Hebrew as 22:18 using the prepositional con...

Re: propheteuo + dative in Jude 14

Re: propheteuo + dative in Jude 14

I would also like to know whether the Greek grammar of Jude 14 conveys the idea of a false or uninspired prophecy (in light of the similar c...
