Vine’s Expository Dictionary of NT Words

December 27, 2022

Vine’s Expository Dictionary of NT Words is a classic work. Many have recognized it as very valuable in the past, but modern Greek scholars have some problems with it now-a-days. The problem comes in when one presumes that the formation of a word controls its meaning forever. That is just not so. As languages are fluid, people begin using words with a different meaning from what the root parts of the word are. So the actual meaning of a word in real time use today maybe different from what the word’s roots meant when it was first introduced into the language.

The English word “prevent” meant originally to go before. That is the meaning in the KJV (being closer to the time when the word was first introduced into the language). Today the word means to stop something from happening.

1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

T.R. Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine is a Bible Doctrines book of 43 chapters. The author is (according to the Introduction) "systematic, Calvinistic, Baptist, and premillennial". I am offering this work in various formats:
PDF: Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine.pdf
Microsoft Word DOCX: Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine.docx
OpenOffice ODT: Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine.odt
EPUB: Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine.epub
theWord: Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine.twm
eSword: Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine.topx
MySword: Simmons A Systematic Study of Bible Doctrine.mybible

So as you can see, the correct understanding of this word “prevent” is to go before something else. But in our modern day meaning, the word means something else. So take care when dealing with the origins of words in the Bible. — David Cox

Note: I have had to remove a download plugin which provided the downloads for these modules. I am going through the site replacing these with new download links. The designation of "Dn" for Download in the tags are posts that have these new links. I am reposting them to today when I do that. Note: I am constantly in the process of reviewing my websites, and old posts come to the surface (reposted with today's date) and as a rule, that is because I have added more information to the post, corrected bad information, and in many cases, I have changed the download method (got rid of a plugin that wasn't working right, and put in a new one), and old posts that didn't have a download are updated with a download link. If you come across a post with no download link or a bad link, or an incorrect file which is downloaded, please email me and I will deal with it quickly as I can.
