  • Take 2 Theology - Is James 2:18–19 Mistranslated?

    Episode 2.50


    Who Said It? The Quotation Debate in James 2:18–19


    What if a single pair of quotation marks changed how you understand faith and works?

    In this episode of Take 2 Theology, Zach and Michael unpack one of the most overlooked translation debates in the New Testament—who’s actually speaking in James 2:18–19?


    Since the original Greek had no quotation marks, translators must decide how long the “someone will say” quotation runs. Does it end quickly (like in the ESV)? Continue through verse 19 (NASB)? Or include both verses (NIV, NRSV)? Each choice changes how we hear James’s tone—rebuke, debate, or diatribe.


    Covered in this episode:

    – How Greek manuscripts handled quotations and voices

    – The short, medium, and long quotation theories

    – Why modern Bibles make different punctuation choices

    – What leading commentators (Moo, Davids, Blomberg) argue

    – How punctuation affects tone but not theology


    In the end, James’s message stands: “Faith without works is dead.”

    But understanding how he said it might change how we hear him.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - October 23rd - Galatians 5:25-26

    Galatians 5:25-26

    Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.

    Living in step with the Holy Spirit sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Just imagine a life which is full of love, joy and peace, and all the other beautiful fruit of the Spirit. This must surely be life at its best, but, as the apostle Paul knew, the life of the Spirit has to be lived out in a world in which sin is still alive and well.
    I often hear people express disappointment about their church. They have found that there is a big gap between the pure life of the Spirit and the attitudes and actions of their Christian brothers and sisters. Paul was clearly well aware of this, and it is significant that he follows this challenge to live by the Spirit with the reminder that the Galatians needed to stop being conceited, provoking or jealous.
    We cannot be sure what was in Paul’s mind as he wrote these words, but he was likely concerned about those who had become conceited because they believed that they were more spiritual than others. Those who continued to obey the Jewish law strictly looked down on those who, like Paul, believed that all that was necessary was to have faith in Jesus. Tensions easily spring up in any community, and Paul knew how important it was to act before they became totally destructive.
    Paul had his feet firmly planted on the ground. He knew both how wonderful it was to live a life directed by the Spirit and, at the same time, how easily that life could be disrupted. We need to be alert in just the same way.

    Question

    What are the challenges you are facing as you seek to live in step with the Spirit?

    Prayer

    Loving God, thank you for the strength you give to me day by day as I seek to live in step with the Spirit. Amen

        • The Holy Post - 692: Vertical vs. Horizontal Morality & Rediscovering Confession with Jamin Goggin

          A recent article tries to explain why so many politically active Christians behave unchristianly in the public square by differentiating "vertical" and "horizontal" sources of morality. The Holy Post crew examines the argument and finds it weak. Has MAGA ignited a revival in the U.S.? David French says we may be confusing a political revolution for a spiritual revival. Jamin Goggin joins Skye to discuss recovering the practice of confession in our churches. Goggin says it should start with pastors. Also this week—man does not live by 1200-year-old bread alone.
