Romans

In this fifth of seven weekend videos, Dr. Plummer compares the Greek text of Romans 3 with an English translation of the same verse(s). This week, he compares the Greek text of Romans 3:23 with the King James Version.

The AV DOES render it in the present tense: "all HAVE sinned and (all) come short..." It is a mistake, IMHO, to bring the 'HAVE' forward to apply it to the next verb.

Appreciate the analysis; but was hoping for how "glory" functions in this text.

[@bobobricklayer]

Appreciate it. Thx!

metal rod in lighting storm indeed, hilarious! You are so right... funny that people argue for the inspiration of an English translation _over_ the Koine as if God somehow made a mistake timing The Lord's incarnation 600-1000y *_before there even was an "English" language_*

Compared to what Greek text? I think the choice is far more important than which of the translations into English, but there are so many with many weaknesses.

Thank you.

Breaks my heart that we will go savage over translations.. so much for no greater love being dying in another's place when our own opinions matter more than speaking life to a fellow image bearer. 😢 Great videos, thank you for sharing your muchness and doing them!

Theology will often make the referent the sin in Adam; with that view, is there a syntactical breadth that would be illustrative of that doctrine?

[@inTruthbyGrace]

nope.. sorry. God says quite plainly it is *_your own sin_* that has separated you from God [Isaiah 59:2]... not Adam's... as much as Gen 2 Christians would like to imagine they are saved at 5y old from Adam's sin.... quite plainly, Paul is telling us that we have all sinned and are currently falling short of the glory God.

Genesis 1 is ELOHIM (Lucifer and the fallen angels). They made this realm. They made man in their image. (tares) Man is an idol, a trap to hunt angels. Genesis 2:7 the Lord God forms His representative in their system. (wheat) One Gospel: Gospel (GOOD ANGEL) of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) kept in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of ELOHIM(gods). REPENT FALLEN ANGELS.
