dartuser:

My apologies. I had had a little trouble reading the post, and saw perfect as present. On a full monitor, and with your bolding, I certainly see your assertion is correct. But then my point still stands about tense, then, however: The perfect tense denotes that an action has been completed in the past.

And, yes, I will repeat my assertion that the protestant lexicon’s translation to “highly favored” is a lie. In every other case where the word is applied to a mortal, over 100 cases, the KJV bible (and the protestant lexicons I’ve referred to) translate the root word as “grace,” clearly because the intent is to signify salvation.

Unfortunately for us both, these things will happen more and more the older we get lol. If I didn't put on my reading glasses I couldn't even see the monitor in front of my face.
