2 thess 1:9 is one of the most controversial and blurred translation text in New testament. Some English bible version translate 2 thess 1:9 as ' eternal destruction From the face/ presence of Lord', while some bible version translate this verse as ' shut out / away / separated from the presence of Lord'. Orthodox Christians who is from Greek Orthodox Church in Greece should use Greek language bible. It should be more accurated and closer to the original text and they can tell us that what is 2 thess 1:9 in the original context / Greek language bible. Can some Orthodox Christians who is from Greek Orthodox Church in Greece help me to check what 2 thess 1:9 truely is and what it mean in Greek language bible or in orginal text ? 2 thess 1:9 means that the sinners will suffer eternal destruction from the Presence / face of Lord ?Or it means the sinner will eternal destruction away from, separated from, shut out from the Presence / face of Lord? |

I can't speak for the Greek, unfortunately. Hopefully someone else can. But in the meantime the official Romanian Orthodox version of the Bible reads as (as close as I can render it in English) 'They will take as punishment eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and the glory of His power'. I see no suggestion of separation from God at all there. James |

They will pay the penalty by being destroyed forever, by being separated from the Lord's presence and from his glorious power. The Scriptures which interpret 2 thess 1:9 as ' away/ shut out / separated from God's presence' are all modern English bible version and formed in or after 1984. |

St. John Chrysostom seems to interpret that verse as meaning that the presence of God will be punishment to sinners and glory to the saved. I think I would take that as support for the earlier translations which read "from the presence."

2 thess 1:9 means that the sinners will suffer eternal destruction from the Presence / face of Lord ?Or it means the sinner will eternal destruction away from, separated from, shut out from the Presence / face of Lord?
The Greek allows both interpretations of olethron aionion apo prosopou tou Kyriou ('eternal destruction from the face of the Lord'): 1) separative Genitive: "away from the face of the Lord". 2) as a Genitive of agent: it is the very 'face of the Lord' and 'the glory of his might' that cause the 'eternal destruction' (Heb. abadon 'olam). This is clearly Semitic thought in Greek expression: when they spoke of God, they used such traditional anthropomorphic expressions like "face", "hand/arm" or "mouth" of Yahweh. Also, the image of God's glorious warrior-like appearance ( doxa/parousia/epiphaneia) in the "Day of the Lord" is attributed to Christ. I'd go for the second interpretation, especially since in the next chapter, there's an analogous passage about the destruction of the Antichrist with almost the same parallelism. Compare: 2 Thess. 1, 9: hoitines diken tisousin olethron aionion apo prosopou Kyriou "who will undergo as punishment eternal destruction from (by) the face of the Lord" kai apo tes doxes tes ischyos autou "and from (by) the glory of his might, [when he (Jesus) will come to be glorified...]" to: 2 Thess. 2, 8: hon ho Kyrios (Iesous) aneilei to pneumati tou stomatos autou "whom the Lord (Jesus) will slay with the breath of his mouth" 2 Thess. 2, 9: kai katargesei te epiphaneia tes parousias autou "and destroy by the appearance of his coming (presence)". The Genitive of agent in the first instance would thus appear as equivalent to the instrumental Dative in the second. |

It's interesting to compare the above to Psalm 67 (68), which dwells on the same eschatological theme (God dealing with his enemies on the 'Day of the Lord'):
1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered:
let those who hate him flee before him (literally "from his face" - mippanaw/apo prosopou autou).
2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:
as wax melts before the fire ("from the face of fire" - mippene-esh/apo prosopou pyros),
let the wicked perish before God ("from the face of God" - mippene elohim/apo prosopou Theou).
Hence the image of God as a "consuming fire".

The notion of ontological separation from an omnipresent God is, of course, something of an oxymoron. Phenomenological separation, less so.[1] Great post for this alone. If people would only get the difference between the ontological and phenomenological, it would much easier to discuss nearly everything. Also if nearly everyone who uses the term existential would realize they mean phenomenological that would be awesome as well. |

Meta-epistemological implies that you already know, since it is meta epistèmè. One cannot have much pre-suppositions meta-epistemologically, that'd be silly. |

I know that a play which refers to itself is a 'metadrama'. A film which refers to itself is a 'metafilm'. But what about a metafilm which includes sections of a metadrama? Would it be correct to say that it 'contains several layers of metatextuality'? I looked up the definition of 'metatextuality', and, in light of this, the above sentence doesn't make much sense. Does anyone have any suggestions for me to articulate what I am trying to say? |
