Q1. You said that power of the Word is "kratos." If we look at Acts 19:20 we will see that two Greek words are used in reference to the Word. They are "kratos" and "ischus." Acts 19:20 says that the word intensified = "kratos," and the Word prevailed = "ischus." How is "kratos" the power of the Word when the word prevails by "ischus?" Because of the emphasis on the Word of God rather than prayer. In Acts 19:20, it is the Word that grew kratos and its side effect is that it also induces ischus (prevailing prayer). In James 5:16, only ischus is emphasized and thus we know that ischus relates to prayer. Also a general study of both words through the New Testament will show that kratos is normally translated as might while ischus is translated as strength. http://eaglevision.com.my/onlinelogos.htm |
