Hey everybody, Pastor Steven Anderson here
from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe, Arizona.
You know, I really should be going to bed,
but somebody just sent me this article
and I have to call out this complete idiot,
this complete imbecile, Bill Mounts,
who pretends to know Greek
and the guy doesn't know what he's talking about at all.
He cannot read Greek at all.
And this article proves it beyond any shadow of a doubt.
I'm not exaggerating here.
I'm not just jumping to conclusions.
I mean, this laughable, absurd article is an embarrassment
to anyone who knows anything about Greek,
to anybody who's even had a semester of Greek, okay?
This guy does not know what he's talking about
and yet so many people look to this idiot
to teach them Greek.
So the article is called,
Was Jesus Begotten or Unique?
Okay, let me just point out some of the glaring,
bizarre mistakes in this article.
So he wants to point out some other times
that the word in question, monoyenis, is used in the Bible.
And since this guy can't read Greek,
he can't just open a Greek New Testament
and actually just, you know, read it and see what it says.
No, no, he can't do that.
All he does is just look things up in a concordance
or in the BDAG or whatever, okay?
And I'll prove that to you.
So he's got the list here
and he comes to Luke 9.38,
where it says, monoyenisme,
and I'm using the modern pronunciation.
And he actually says,
note that there's no specific word for child.
So it's translated my only child,
but that there's no specific word for child.
But here's what's so stupid.
If you actually just look at the verse in Luke 9.38,
there's the word right there.
It says, tonionum oti monoyenisme esti.
So it says, my son,
that's my only begotten or my only son.
And so what is he talking about
that there's no word for child there?
The word for son is right there,
but he couldn't find it
because it was like three words away.
So he just quotes monoyenisme
and he just completely just ignores the fact
that the word son is like three words earlier.
And this is not just an isolated incident.
A little bit further down,
he's dealing with John 3.16 folks.
It's the most famous verse in the Bible.
I mean, can this guy at least read John 3.16 in Greek
and understand it?
Super easy verse, the most famous verse in the Bible.
He claims in his article
that there's no word for son in John 3.16.
He claims that it says monoyenis theos
and then he says, John 3.16, no specific word for son.
And again, this is because if you look up John 3.16
in a Greek New Testament,
the word son is like three words earlier.
So he can't find it, okay?
Because he's just looking things up in a concordance.
He's glancing at words on the page
that he apparently can't understand.
So he doesn't see the word son three words earlier.
Don't tell me this is just a typo or something
because of the fact that he makes the same exact mistake
in both places and he makes a big deal about it.
Like note that there's no specific word for child.
Note that there's no specific word for son.
Pay special attention to the fact that this word is there.
Except if you actually open any Greek New Testament,
it actually is there.
It actually does say son in the most famous verse
in the Bible that God gave his only begotten son.
And aside from that, the whole premise of this article
is so laughable.
He's trying to claim that monoyenis can't mean begotten
because he's trying to say that it is not related
to the word beget, okay?
Because he claims that it should have two ends in it
instead of one end, okay?
I mean, it's the dumbest argument I've ever heard
because obviously all of these words are related.
The word for beget, you know,
or the word for race or generation or kind or whatever,
you know, these are all connected.
And monoyenis, mono means only.
Yanis is the begotten part.
I mean, this is so obvious.
His mistake is absurd and laughable.
And, you know, somebody needs to like put this guy
in like an actual proctored Greek test.
Like he needs to go to some school somewhere
and put him in a classroom
and, you know, take away all of his cheat sheets.
And I would like to see this bozo sit down at a table
with a Greek New Testament and be issued a Greek exam
by a Greek professor in a state university somewhere.
Not one of these bozo fake Bible college
seminary Greek classes,
but put him in an actual Greek class,
upper division Greek class at a state university.
And let's give this guy a test.
And you know what?
You better watch this guy close
because he's probably gonna be cheating on that test
because this guy couldn't read Greek to save his life
based on these articles.
I defy anyone to defend this article claiming
that there's no word for son in John 3.16.
There's no word for child in Luke 9.38.
No, you can't read Bill Mounds.
And it just gets me fired up
because the world is just so filled with fakes and phonies
and frauds and charlatans.
And this is not the first time Bill Mounds has come out
with this absurd junk,
but this article is like a tour de force
of his dumbest moments.
I mean, it's just, it's incredible.
Anyway, God bless you.
Have a great day.
