There is not a single instance where the primary thought of emergence, or origin, cannot fit, indeed, does not best fit the thought of the context. Surely the invariability of meaning in such a high number of occurrences establishes the Johannine usage” (p. 57). Gundry’s unexamined ...
Of course, this does not make any sense, but this is what the guru, John Walton, would have us believe from p50 of his book The Lost World of Genesis, where he says: “the meaning of the repeated formula ‘it was good’, which I propose refers to functioning properly…functional readi...
And then there are all those well-meaning folks trying to hand you their roadmaps, telling you which way to go. But deep down, something quieter asks. I wrote these lines with that thought in mind: “Somewhere down deep, a question lingers— soft as a prayer, sharp as a thorn: Is...
