I don't know why I bother trying to explain Scripture to you when you struggle with basic grammar. A homonym is a single thing, not a 'they' which is plural. You might say "Homonyms are words that look and sound the same but have different meanings" which is basically the dictionary definition...

Which 'book' and 'scroll' do not. Again, you're using the definition of "homonym" while applying it to synonyms. Learn the difference! It's painful watching you repeatedly make a fool of yourself.

You simply ignored far more than half my post. That's okay, I'll call you on it later when you make the same errors.

"Book" and "scroll" are not homonyms. They aren't even synonyms. They are related words, but that's it.

"There are homonyms in Scripture" is NOT a "basic truth".

Homonyms are language-specific. There may well be homonyms in any given translation, but it's a non-issue. Don't argue about inconsequential things.

Um... you are aware that the 1611 edition of the KJV contains sidenotes, the equivalent of footnotes... aren't you? You are aware that some of the show alternate words... aren't you?

That's a ridiculous accusation. One would normally have to be quite familiar both with language generally and with Scripture to note the presence of homonyms. Unless one were looking for them specifically, one likely wouldn't notice them. Unless, of course, you ignored my earlier post, and the...

You do this frequently to me. Why should others not do it to you?

I'm not going to justify that with a direct answer... and the word is canon, not "cannon". No argument on this matter. Yes, but neither is this a definition, nor does the context state anywhere that it is exclusive of all other definitions or nuances. In other words, don't use it as an...

Since the Holy Spirit is God, and God is omnipresent, there is no limitation on His location such that John seeing Him in heaven in Revelation precludes Him from being on Earth. As I said, the Scripture does not state that the "he" of w Thessalonians 2:7 returns to heaven. You've made a...

Though the accusation of, “Conspiracy!” has also suppressed much truth.

Yawn. I’m not going to show you the error of your reasoning yet again.

Really? Which members, exactly, are these ‘modernist liberals’, and on what evidence (in each case) do you make this accusation on their sociopolitical alignment?

Let’s follow your logic here: In 1550, Stephanus publishes his revision of the Greek text. In 1633, a couple of enterprising publishers claim that there is ‘nothing corrupt’ in the Greek text they are promoting. On the basis of that 1633 claim, the KJV translators in 1604 had total...

“Back to heaven” so you say. Scripture does not say that. Since when did ’So I say’ become foundational for biblical interpretation? Let me offer this: if you have to guess, there are two likely reasons: God has chosen not to reveal the details, or you haven’t done enough homework. Drawing firm...

Jesus did not say the bold part together with His words about the gates. You conflated two passages and have made your erroneous interpretation upon your conflation, rather than on the plain text.

One might ask the same questions about most opening posts in this forum. 😉

To the thread’s title question: the correct word is ‘age’, not ‘world’. The KJV has it wrong here. I see most people are talking about which age rather than which word. IMHO that only confuses the issue.

Don’t be impatient. It’s rude and unnecessary. Get on with your life and check back later. This forum is not like a live chat.
