That would include you and Christopher as well, would it not?

Little do you probably know that Noah Webster, being proficient in nine languages, comprehending the biblical ones, revised the English of the AV for use in American schools around 1833. I consider it a marvelous version. Moreover, the 1828 edition was not his final dictionary, in fact he greatly improved upon it. If I would offer up any criticism it would be this: that modern-day "American" churchianity has failed miserably, leaving the world to marvel at its arrogance and ignorance. Noah Webster was a fine Christian man. I wonder what he would rebutt with against such unfair charges?

The Bible does a pretty good job of defining words for itself, though, for those who are willing to read and study enough to figure it out.

If you're really stumped about a word you're actually unfamiliar with, however, Noah Webster based his 1828 dictionary on the meaning of words as used in the KJB. Even though it's not perfect and he did make mistakes, it is still a good reference to use when there are questions about definitions. And it's free to read online.

There are also online etymology resources available that give the origins and history of words used in the English language.

As for me, I see no need for anyone to go messing with the perfectly preserved Word of God as we already have it.

Elsewhere on this forum Christopher seems to be adverse to utilizing Webster. So far no one seems to be on the same page here...

And you call me paranoid?

Anyone with a bible can figure it out for themselves, I need not to convince anyone of anything.

Tell me, what good is it to host an anti 501(c)iii site, yet support the papal hierarchy? I think anyone can identify the hypocrite in record time.

And if you are counting on YT and Google traffic, for why else ask for donations? Are they tax free donations? How is it, YOU professing to be anti-state, yet rely on the same state yourself to continue your "ministry"? Moreover, it is evident you follow not Christ, and like the rest of those who lean upon the state rather than their one and only Savior, turn about without hesitation to accuse me falsely?

I think your visitors ought to have another look.

I wonder if I would be permitted to follow up on your study here? What Edition of Webster are you consulting?

That is correct, Farstad is not the received text. If I am not mistaken, they used a statistical model to approximate what it may have read as, factoring in von Soden's various readings. Perhaps someone who has a copy of Farstad may be a better resource upon the scheme layouted therein, for I do not possess a copy.

If there is anything to be said (and please do not rely on YT as a source of information) upon the received text, it would be this: the blood of the saints attest to its authority.

I understand that many confused individuals are polluting the streams of information within cyberspace, and doubtless you will find that no one knows what it is they are talking about. I would suggest, should you be earnest in your pursuit of knowledge, to read books from the time of the reformation on down until you can decipher the confusion yourself. Do not read transcriptions, but rather obtain a photo-copy or electronic facsimile (or even better an original edition) via online database searches or visiting your local library.

This may not have been the answer you are looking for, but be advised, everyone on YT, Google, Wiki, and so forth have an agenda to push, or something they are marketing, and take no pains in defying their conscience in twisting the truth. They typically are in it for lucre's sake. Just be careful. The other half of the spectrum you will find to be occupied by surrogates of Rome, where their mission is to create a "dialogue" with anyone they encounter so to bring them under the veil of Rome. They do this by deceit and cunning. Take a look into the PCPCU, what it entails, and what are its prerogatives, and the consequences of entering into such a dialogue with Rome.

I encourage you to confirm with your own eyes what dangers are lurking out there, and commend you upon your inquiry into the value of the received Greek text.

I do not doubt that many of you are here seeking for a local gathering of believers who will have no affiliation with the state nor with Rome, her master. I can concede to that, yet go further in shunning all dialogue with Rome via her PCPCU propaganda, operating both the CBF and UBS to effect that dialogue among what she considers "separated brethren". Indeed we find ourselves in dark and lawless times, and a reason why it becomes the more incumbent upon us to quit ourselves as men, girding the loins of our minds, and taking a stand for truth.

Even state regulated outlets such as YT and Google impede the spread of the full gospel of Christ, where Wiki and its affiliates censor the truth for the cause of Rome, and our educational system is none other than an instrument of induction for the state. So it is we find ourselves in the midst of the state, not by our own volution, yet are we not to remain therein, but are commanded to come out of it. I look forward to hearing from you all.

We certify the words of Christ in that man is not to render unto Caesar the things that are God's.
