Do you acknowledge that Jesus rules or reigns over the kings of the earth as Revelation 1:5 says He does? That verse calls Him a prince. Yet you deny that He rules over the kings of the earth now, do you not? So, you gave the impression that He is not ruling over the kings of the earth as a prince. Yet, He is. So, don't blame me for your lack of communication skills. I can't help how you come across.
Yes Jesus is ruler over the kings of the earth. Only the few English versions define "archon" as prince. Archon is not translated as Prince in any other greek writings. Also the vast majority of English translations, including some of the first call Jesus ruler. Prince in Greek is "archegos" not archon unless the archon is known to be a prince. Jesus is now King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
YOu wish to make an argument over what a few english translators did that is not found anywhere else.
Expert? No! but do I consult the experts? Absdolutely! But I notice that you like yor comapdre refuses to defend why prince is the most accurate translation of REv. 1:5LOL. Keep acting like you are a grammar expert if you want, but we all know otherwise.
BTW have you decided to recant about lying saying I never said jesus was a prince? Or will you keep ignoring that.
YOu really don't know? why are you even bothering to argue here then?Either way, that happened long ago. Why do you think it's talking about some future Antichrist having anything to do with that?
Daniel was prophesying about physical events with physical people on planet earth.
Why did you refer to God in lowercase? Also, there is plenty of allegory in scripture, so why do you act as if it's a bad thing? But, again, either way you interpret it, it happened long ago, so there's no basis for interpreting the prince of Daniel 9:26 to be some future Antichrist. That is how you interpret it, isn't it?
Yes there is allegory in Scripture and Scripture shows it. That does not give you a license to go ahead and allegorize any scripture you want to defend covenant theology.
You haven't shown anything. He is both a prince and a ruler, so how do you know He can't be the prince/ruler mentioned in Daniel 9:26?
How do I know? Because I went to school, learned the rules of grammar and learned how to read, and how to apply rules of grammar. that is how I know. In case you never learned, God created language both spoken and written and created the rules of grammar so we can learn to speak and write in an intelligble way.
