QUESTION: What should I do where my Bible and my Greek Lexicon 
contradict?

ANSWER: Throw out the Lexicon.

EXPLANATION: Oftimes a critic of God's Bible will point to a Lexicon 
or Greek grammar book for authority in an effort to prove that a word 
has been mistranslated in the Bible. This is rather foolhardy, and 
flies in the face of their purported claim to accept the Bible as 
their final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

It must be remembered that God never claimed that He would provide us 
with a perfect lexicon or an inerrant Greek grammar. He said that He 
would provide us with a perfect Bible.

Thus, on the weight of our own acceptance of the Bible as our "final 
authority in all matters of faith and practice" we must all accept its 
rendering of the Greek as more accurate and authoritative than the 
opinion of the fallible human authors of our Greek study guides.
