I'm aware of what they say it means. However, that is obviously wrong.

No. We can look at the Greek texts ourselves

Everything is the interpretation of men. When someone speaks to you you interpret what they are saying. So, when Jesus and the apostles speak of the end of the aion if interpret that as the aion ends. So, when some translator or theologian comes along and says aion means eternal or forever I...

I have most modern Translations and many of the older ones.

No they don't. They interpet the Scriptures like everyone else.

No. I'm saying they should believe the Scriptures rather than the translators or theologians

What do English definitions have to do with knowing Greek? Do you realize you just contradicted yourself? In post 25 you said this. "The word 'authority' is elsewhere translated 'power'. It is the same Greek word, but not in English. This is my pet peeve with using English Translations while...

Actually I do know a little about Greek. They are not the same word. Authority is exousia and power is dynamis. He had authority. If you're referring to John 10:18 it doesn't use word dunamis. It uses exousia which means authority

He has authority, not the power. Notice who the commandment came from. It didn't come from Him.

There are some problems here. You're leaning towards modalism, rather than Trinitarianism. But you still have a problem. If Jesus is God, Jesus died, who raised Him from the dead?

Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 1, Chapter 21 chap. xxi.—the views of redemption entertained by these heretics. 1. It happens that their tradition respecting redemption is invisible and incomprehensible, as being the mother of things which are incomprehensible and invisible; and on this...

He's explaining it. That doesn't begate it.

That's not what it says. We don't get to make it up. It says he was saved through water. It's instrumentally. The water is the instrument God used. Likewise the water of baptism is the instrument that God now uses.

What is see is you changing Scripture. Peter said that Noah was saved through water. The water was the instrument that God used to save Noah. The antitype of that is baptism. As I said in another post, it couldn't be much clearer. And yet people still try to make it say something different.

Were not told whether he baptized or not. However, that's not correct reasoning. To take a passage in which were not told about the persons naptism and claim that refute what is plainly stated in Scripture is illogical. Peter told the Jews to repent for the forgiveness of sins. How does one get...
