You are probably looking at the wrong index. Also, 1934 is the copyright date, not the edition. We have been over this edition stuff before in regards to Thayer. I hope we don't have a repeat here. The publisher is what is important when you get down to page numbers. My copy is from Broadman Press. The quote was from page 891, toward the bottom of the page. You can read about his treatment of durative action, descriptive present tense, progressive present tense, etc. on page 879. If the page numbers do not correspond to your text, let me know.
Peace be with you.

My Robertson's has a listing of scriptures discussed. Heb 10:10 and 10:14 are not on that list. I am thinking they are a part of a secondary discussion in the book and that is why they are not on the list. I don"t know that but I am giving David the benefit of the doubt. I just want to see the comments referred to in the actual context of their statement.

You can't find a greek grammar that will disagree with what he has said.DM shoots down your false accusations and now it is YOU THAT CAN NOT FIND!
"Apparently you have not consulted too many grammars."OUCH!JD why not stop the foolishness and start having a real conversation?[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I couldn't find your reference in Robertson's Greek grammar. Perhaps a page number. And it might be of more help to me if you gave the Table of Index heading in which this commentary is made just in case our page numbers do not match up (my copy is a 1934 editiion).

Apparently you have not consulted too many grammars. A.T. R obertston in "A Grammar of the Greek New Testament" writes about Hebrews 10:14 in the following way:
"But usually the pres. part. is merely descriptive. Cf. Mk. 1:4; Ac. 20:9; 2 Cor. 3:18; 4:18. There is no notion of purpose in "hagontes" (Ac. 21:16).
In tous sozomenous (Ac. 2:47) the ide a is probably iterative, but the descriptive durative is certainly all that is true of "tous hagiazomenous" in Heb. 10:14 (cf. 10:10)."
Notice how Robertson actually approaches this passage exactly the same way that Judy did for meaning. He goes back to Heb. 10:10, just like Judy did, to argue the proper meaning of 10:14 away from a progressive or iterative concept. His conclusion is similar to Judy's in that he says 10:14 is
CERTAINLY ONLY descriptive durat i ve.
If you are familiar with Robertson's grammar, you know that he separates the durative action into various categories, the progressive present being one (which is Bill Taylor's treatment of Heb. 10:14) and the descriptive present
being another one. I think if Robertson were here, he would have some comments that would pull Bill Taylor away from his present dogmatic stance.
Considering how most translators have shied away from commiting to a progressive syntax, I think there are likely to be many others that would likewise find some disagreement with Bill's solid commitment to a progressive present meaning of Heb. 10:14.
Peace be wit h you.
