James 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
English “offend” emboldened in James 3:2 were translated from Greek verb 4417 ptaio that appears in only 4 King James Bible verses and as “offend” only in James 2:10 and James 3:2. Greek verb 4417 ptaio was translated into “stumbled” in Romans 11:11 in the context of Romans 11:4-32 and “fall” in 2Peter 2:10 in the context of 2Peter 2:1-21. Inflected languages such as Hebrew and Greek are quite different than English in the sense that my old 12 pound Webster’s dictionary listed 55 different definitions for the English word “face” predicated upon “face” being used as a noun, pronoun, verb, adjective and/or adverb whereas several words within a single verse can change forms predicated upon who performed the verb’s action and received the action performed in inflected languages such as Hebrew and Greek. If you study bibletruthuncovered.com you will see that the verb’s action performed by God and superimposed by God’s “chosen” “election” have very different meanings than those performed by human beings not chosen by God who “offend” God’s Spirit by causing God’s children to “fall” from God’s grace by persuading them of hateful things like hell. Whereby, they are removed from God’s process to protect them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to Ephesians 1:10 and 1Timothy 2:3-4. God is going to save all his children via God’s “seven thousand” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” exactly as documented in Romans 8:19-21 “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope” “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”. Understanding that “manifestation” was mistranslated from Greek feminine noun 602 apokalupsis that was translated into English “Revelation” in Revelation 1:1 and superimposed by Jesus’ many brethren during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows.
