Roll in already! Your reply has no substance, just opinion and svada.

This guy's entire post history is various misunderstandings of the Hebrew grammar of Genesis 1:1. He should let us know when he finally gets to Genesis 1:2. I'm guessing by the angle quotes around "God" that he's foreign and that's why his basic English comprehension is so poor.
Faith is svada. Faith requires no explanation or justification. Faith makes about a billion people in the world to think it's right to draw benefits from their god's death and demise. That it is somehow right to take the words and theology of a prophet who hunted down and enslaved Christians all the days of his known life, and put them before the words of Jesus.

Faith does require explanation as to its intent. Without a purpose it is void and meaningless and becomes unknown to the mind. As you yourself have said " Faith makes about a billion people in the world to think ." It then served its purpose as an explanation has it not?
Saul/Paul of the NT does not compel any to draw benefits from his messiah's death nor was his message his own. The twelve Apostles and thousands of disciples of Jesus had preached the same message many years before Saul was forgiven and converted to the same faith as those who were before him.
Judgment seems to be a stumbling block in your mindset. You are neither qualified nor justified in condemnation of Saul/Paul with no credentials from the Creator to do otherwise. Did not Paul's Messiah, Jesus, teach forgiveness.
I agree that the Revelation literature was probably penned in Hebrew.

You have no idea of what you are talking about. You may probably have a few books that you use to bolster your lack of knowledge but this leads you into dangerous misunderstandings. Your first and foremost error is that you use rabbinical understanding and not the source of original autographs. The reason that you cannot use the autographs is simply that they are not available to us today. In other words the autographs do not exist in your dream world. You should stop your thread now and don't further embarrass yourself.
I just want to clarify
You are telling him that
1. his argument is flawed because he doesn't use the original autographs but instead is using rabbinical wisdom
2. the reason he can't use the autographs is because they don't exist
3. these autographs don't exist in his dream world
4. he should stop his argument because he will embarrass himself for not using the autographs (that do not exist)
Maybe

Ye got a source for that claim?
In Hebrew grammar, the construct state is known as smikhut ([smiˈχut]) (סמיכות, lit. "support" (the noun), "adjacency"). Simply put, smikhut consists of combining two nouns, often with the second noun combined with the definite article, to create a third noun.
