1. "THAT Greek word is normally translated as the definite article - "THE"
NOT as "what""2. Strong's Concordance - AV-which 413, who 79, the things 11, the son 8, misc 32; 543 3. Could you please restate your reason for seemingly objecting to the word "what" in this verse: Alan
3. I have no objections to any word used in the KJV.1. The Greek word in brackets here (3588)
"2:6 καὶ νῦν [[ τὸ ]] κατέχον οἴδατε εἰς τὸ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἑαυτοῦ καιρῷ " Is normally translated as the indefinite article viz "the" in the Bible. This was in conjunction with the debate on the word "what" used in this verse, a point brought up by David. 2. If your number crunching is important to you on this, then at the appendix of Strong's you will find the word = "the" - listed over six thousand times under the Strongs # 3588. |

What Greek text are you using? In the AV, the word which has that underlying Greek Word the most is the word "which." WHAT GIVES???
2Th 2:6 "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time." Not quite sure where you are coming from??Strongs reference number for the word "what" (the word in question) is G3588.
Which provides.... G3588
ὁ, ἡ, τό
ho hē to
ho, hay, to
The masculine, feminine (second) and neuter (third) forms, in all their inflections; the definite article; the (sometimes to be supplied, at others omitted, in English idiom): - the, this, that, one, he, she, it, etc.
__________ I agree 3588 may sometimes be given as "which" (or even what) - together with 3748, 3739 etc.
____________ My point in this verse is that it is translated "what" (5101, 3739, etc) but is defined as the definite article as stated above.
However the "english" sense of the verse requires "what" |

"What" is used, if it isn't avoided entirely in some translations because that is apparently in all the Greek manuscripts for Wrong! Jim.
This is from the Greek text which supports your beloved NASB."2:6 καὶ νῦν τὸ κατέχον οἴδατε εἰς τὸ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῷ ἑαυτοῦ καιρῷ " The word in question in Greek is = τὸ
Which is the 3rd word here. THAT Greek word is normally translated as the definite article - "THE" NOT as "what" Therefore as "dynamic" translations go your NASB - Has done the same thing. |

If,as you say,the Holy Spirit cannot be called an "it",then it stands to reason that He cannot be called a "what"either
If we agree on this,then a lot of peoples eschatology will need to change. I'm referring to
2 Thessalonians 2:6-7 Your NASB version agrees with my KJV by stating "what" in verse 6,and then in verse 7 states "he".
Do you agree? Please answer my inquiries. David
You have picked an unusual piece of translation here.The Greek words do not have "what" in this spot. The Greek word at this point usually is translated - "the" in english.
Thus v6...would read...
"6 And now ye know *THE* withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time." Which as you can see doesn't work in english.
But We can see that the NASB (and the NIV) follows this method. Sometimes english words have to be added to make "english" sense of a phrase, to english readers. Sorry I can't be more helpful. |

I will credit you with optimism if however somewhat misplaced. Your words don't match up with the predictions eg Matthew chapter 24!
The churches experience historically, today and until judgement day will always be one of affliction in an alien country.Rom 5:3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience Rom 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [9] Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ |

Revival is not going to happen during the current perilous times.
We are heading into another dark age where Amos's "famine of hearing the word" is the zeitgeist for now.
This is a time of trial and tribulation for the True Christian servant.2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. Psalm 119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. Psalm 119:75 I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. ## prayer for church
= Psalm 143:
7 Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake... |

""Once we have overcome self, we have overcome the flesh, the world, and the devil."" "WE" have overcome??? John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Rom 7:24 "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." 2Cor 12:9 "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." |
