Matthew, are you aware (or any other Greek expert here),
whether
there are ANY exceptions of gender match in the NT or the
LXX
like is asserted by Calvinists here in Eph?

Also, you said,
But please notice: though we agree on the end result, we
still disagree on the
method. For your Robertson quote is oversimplifying, and
despite his evident
expertise, he left himself too open to Kuyper's criticism.
My explanation does
not have this weakness.

But did I miss or overlook your "explanation?"


Thanks, Gary

you were just emotionally ranting in another thread about comparing two
English expressions in different languages. You are SUCH a hypocrite
Matthew.

I was not making a general statement about the phrase "did not see
death". The writer of Hebrews was not quoting Psalm 89 he was referring
to Genesis 5 where it was said that Enoch was "no more"

Too bad. Here it is. You misrepresnted my argument.

Enoch was "translated" (metatithemi) so as not to see death (Heb 11:5).
You are simply assuming God took him to heaven with him. There are
alternatives to this. Why didn't Paul simply say Enoch was "taken"
(harpazo) here?
Let us examine the phrase in Genesis 5:24, where it says, "And Enoch
walked with God: and HE WAS NOT; for God took him" and compare the same
Hebrew phrase in:
Psalms 37:36, "Yet he passed away, and, lo, HE WAS NOT: yea, I
sought him, but he could not be found."
Psalms 39:13, "O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go
hence, and BE NO MORE."
The Hebrew for the phrases are the same Hebrew as Genesis 5:24. As in
the Psalms, the phrase means the person "passed away" or would
eventually die. Let s look at the same phrase in the book of Genesis:
Genesis 42:13, "And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren,
the sons of one man in the land o
