If you have any kind of clock that is independent of the sun, evening will fall later than expected. Say I usually plant 100 trees in a day and I have planted 110 trees and most others have also planted 10% more trees before sunset, you can deduce that the day was longer than usual. If 10% more...

No, it's not like that at all. You set forth the proposition without providing evidence that hina + subjunctive is used substantively many times. I took your claim seriously and looked on line for some argument that would support your claim, to see how robust the argument for it is. I found an...

Argument from authority is a logical fallacy.

I have studied J.Harold Greenlee's essay, and find it wholly unconvincing that any verses in his list of supposedly substantive hina + subjunctive clauses do not express intention, purpose or result. I will cite three of the first four on his list as examples. Matt. 4:3 And the tempter came to...

From where in the Bible do you get your assertion that ALL the unregenerate (TU) do not EVER want to understand, and do not EVER want to retain knowledge of God in their hearts and minds?

I am reading through https://place.asburyseminary.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2323&context=asburyjournal "Hina Substantive Clauses in the New Testament". I will give my thoughts on his thesis when I am finished.

Why does time need to stop passing for God to keep the earth from spinning for a period? Apparently, multiple ancient cultures worldwide recorded the occurrence of an unusually long day in their ancient history.

Calvinists really believe in Pan-aspectual Imperfection (so, PUPIL), or Omni-faceted Imperfection (so, LOUPI). But they seem to be too lazy to change their acronym to an accurate expression if their actual beliefs. Or, perhaps the inaccuracy of their T petal enables them to exaggerate the degree...

Is that what the Bible says happens during near misses? Is there any indication in the Bible that time was ever stopped and God rearranged things in another time-space continuum, while time was stopped in the first continuum, and then transferred those changes to the first space-time and then...

4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5¶I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6If a man...

Well, yes. If time stopped there could be no before and after events happenimg. If time went backwards 40 minutes, the last 40 minutes would need to repeat exactly, to get back to the present that was departed from to return to the past. Stopping the sun, or reversing the sun, does not stop...

I'm sure my post is a logical response to the claims you were making in the post I was responding to: your first post in this thread. If you can't see the logic to it, I am confident that the problem does not lie in what I wrote.

35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever keeps on coming to me shall not hunger, and whoever keeps on believing in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever is...

John 16: 33 These things I have spoken to you so that (hina) in Me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 17:1 These words spoke Jesus and lifted His eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come; glorify your...

I'm all for nuance. But I am not a fan of completely redefining terms to exclude legitimate nuance. You wrote: "Belonging to Him and being His people are two different things. Jesus said so. John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, (humeis ek patros tou diabolou este: You are out of...

All the kids in your home are your responsibility, not just those that are your family. All people of the earth are Yahweh's people by virtue of Yahweh owning everything He has made. Yahweh called the Israelites His people because they were His people, along with every other people. The...

Laughlin is my daughter's family. He belongs to my daughter. My daughter is mine/my family. And Laughlin is hers/my daughter's family. Therefore Laughlin is mine/my family too. Jesus adversaries were Satan's defected-from-God children. Satan is one of God's sons/children who defected. Therefore...

Deut. 32:36 “For the LORD will judge His people (all the inhabitants of the earth). And He will have compassion on His servants (the church), when He sees that their (the church's) power is gone, And there is no one remaining, bond or free. Heb. 10:29 How much more severely do you think someone...

No. I don't see the difference. You just said that "all things belong to God," which means all things are His. But then you immediately contradict that statement, by saying that only new creation people are His, i.e. only new creation people belong to God: excluding all other people from the...

Why do you believe the Bible does?
