Very interesting studies, dear brothers in the faith. Just for sake of clarifying: Are there cases, disputed or not, where kyrios is used in nominative case when being adressed?
ReplyDeletePlease see the My God study (especially end note #5) for the only 2 possible exceptions Trinitarians have found.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I tried to do a search on the uses of "thee" theos in the vocative case, only found Matthew 27:46. I think I read somewhere that in koiné Greek the use of the vocative case was not very consistent, that many times, persons where adressed in the nominative case instead. Is this correct? If the contrary is the case, John 20:28 can be definitely dismissed as trinitarian proof.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are only a few words which consistently use the vocative case in the NT. I have examined a few in the above study.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, thee (vocative of theos) is one which is rarely used.
Fortunately kurie (vocative of kurios, 'Lord' in English) is one that is ALWAYS used when ADDRESSING as "Lord." The proof is provided in the above study.
What about cases in the LXX? Isn't John 20:28 said to be a quote from Psalms applied to Jesus (by Trinitarians)?
ReplyDeleteI'm not aware of any such quote. If you know of one, please let us know.
ReplyDeletePsalm 35:23 is the usually cited example. The LXX Greek is:
ReplyDeleteεξεγέρθητι ΚΎΡΙΕ και πρόσχες τη κρίσει μου Ο ΘΕΌΣ ΜΟΥ ΚΑΙ Ο ΚΥΡΙΌΣ ΜΟΥ εις την δίκην μου
Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, even to my cause, MY GOD AND MY LORD
Interesting comment. I'll answer it in the text of my original study: My God-John 20:28.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about Mark 15:34 and Matthew 27:46?
ReplyDeleteFor example, in Matthew 27:46, Θεέ μου is used with the vocative address and in Mark 15:34 ὁ θεός μου is used in both nominative no matter the case it is an address to the Father, I think it would be an exception to the use of ὁ θεός μου of John 20:28
What's your opinion about it?
I would also like to know what you think about Psalm 35:23 in the LXX
ReplyDelete"εξεγε̇ρθητι κυ̇ριε και προ̇σχες τη κρι̇σει μου ο θεο̇ς μου και ο κυριο̇ς μου εις την δι̇κην μου"
How would it be explained that here κυ̇ριε and κυριο̇ς is used in direct treatment? I think it would be an exception
In the 'My God' study it was explained that theos is often used in the nominative case in the NT. But the vocative kurie is always used for 'lord' in address.
ReplyDeleteAs for the use of 'Lord' in address in the Septuagint, I see only this one use of kurios in what appears to be an address: Ps 35:23.
If this is truly in address, then it appears to be an exception. However, the other seven uses of 'Lord' in address in this same Psalm 35 are kurie! (see end note #5 in the 'My God' study.)
If this is the only exception in the Septuagint it may simply be a copyists' error. If there a number of others in the Septuagint, I still believe that the NT uses kurie only when 'Lord' is in address.
