Nothing I;ve said misrepresents his argument, hes taking most his examples from one source.<br /><br />Bottom lime In your above Grudem lists "there are 0 TIMES (0%) where kefalh was used to mean source or origin." That is clearly a lie. you say: I am detective Thais a clear bold faced lie because I show many examples of it being so used,,it is not 0% that is just a lie any scholar knows this. No real shoal would say it;s 0%.<br /><br />It's a ridiculous criticism to say I am showing my bias because of course;I'm bias I'm arguing against him! But said nothing dishonest just because I didn;t use his irrelevant list of percentages,<br /><br /><br />I use a better lexicon than he does <br />I quote several more scholars than he does<br />and He is tally misleadimg about the the LXX which goes way out of it;s way to avoid every linking head with boss or commander,Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-8449713948721196922018-06-26T05:26:51.671-07:002018-06-26T05:26:51.671-07:00I've read Grudem's article (Wayne Grudem, ...I've read Grudem's article (Wayne Grudem, “Does Kefalh (“Head”) Mean “Source” Or “Authority Over” in Greek Literature? A Survey of 2,336 Examples,” Trinity Journal ns 6.1 (Spring 1985): 38-59) and I have to say that the blog author's bias and poor reasoning shows through badly. Grudem's point was that 87% of the 2336 examples refer to a "physical head" and the other 13% (302 examples) to kefalh's metaphorical meanings. Out of those 302 metaphorical meanings 119 times (39.4%) kefalh is used to refer to "the whole person", 49 times (16.2%) to refer to a person of superior authority or rank, 69 times (22.9%) to mean extremity or end, and (without detailing all the other metaphorical meanings) there are 0 TIMES (0%) where kefalh was used to mean source or origin.<br /><br />I'm not defending Grudem's overall position with my comments above, but the misrepresentation of the facts in this example should make readers wary of the blog author's commentary in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
