In my own words, an etymological root fallacy is anachronistic retrospective eisegesis. Dunamis (power) is most often the unfortunate victim of such shoddy (mis-)interpretation. What do I mean by this cumbersome phrase “anachronistic retrospective eisegesis”? Well, it is a looking back (retrospective) on a word which predates English (anachronistic) and forcing the meaning of a present day English word back onto that Greek word (eisegesis) from whence the English word came. So, for example, people read dunamis inRomans 1:16 and think that dynamite’s root in this Greek word gives the reader license to read dunamis with this present day concept of dynamite; but bear in mind that Paul had no concept of dynamite when he wrote that the gospel is the power (dunamis) of God for salvation. Therefore, don’t read any concept of dynamite back onto dunamis though the English “dynamite” undoubtedly comes from it.
It may preach, but it’s not correct!
If God is the infinitude of being and you don’t love him, you don’t love. By only loving those like you, you love only a small % of being.
Just bought Jose Gonzalez’s 2006 album ‘Veneer’. Beautifully relaxing folk music.
Found out Sroke-on-Trent is actually SToke-on-Trent. My phonological point is null and void. =(
Here’s a peculiar consonant cluster for English [sr] as in Sroke-on-Trent, England
Iain Murray’s summary of Edwards on free will in his biography Jonathan Edwards:
“If man is without the power to repent and turn to God, as the orthodox believed, how can he be held responsible for remaining in sin? If human inability were true, said the Arminians, then man is no longer a free agent, but acts under compulsion. Man is free, replies Edwards, in the sense that he has all natural faculties–mind, will, etc.–and this constitutes his responsibility. Man’s utter incapacity to do spiritual good does not arise out of a physical lack of faculties, but altogether out of the wrong moral disposition of those faculties. In this way he explains how man, though totally corrupt in his nature, is still a responsible free agent” (pp. 425-426, emphasis mine).
We sin because we like it.
