FSB logic ... or lack thereof ... as cause of embarassment
What is wrong with the following entry?
1. "It is clear that" ... is it clear that God cannot create a creature capable of creating? Pulling a presupposition out of thin air like this is an inappropriate style
2. "must have created all things" - isn't the merism "heavens and earth" the evidence of this? Of course, it is still an over-generalization as "all things" is limited in the text to "heavens and earth" i.e. perceivable universe according to several commentaries. I doubt that you mean to imply God created God.
How am I supposed to show off a great resource if it embarrasses me on the first "interested party" request? It's much easier to explain doctrinal differences than sloppy thought and/or writing.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

M.J., thanks for pointing this out to us. We could have phrased this point better. This word study is now on the docket of entries we will take a look at again prior to the next release of Faithlife Study Bible.
