◄ 485. antilogia ►
Strong's Lexicon antilogia: Contradiction, opposition, dispute Original Word: ἀντιλογία Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: antilogia Pronunciation: an-tee-log-ee'-ah Phonetic Spelling: (an-tee-log-ee'-ah) Definition: contradiction, contention, rebellion. Meaning: The term ἀντιλογία refers to contradiction, dispute, or opposition in speech. It denotes a verbal expression of disagreement or resistance. Word Origin: Derived from ἀντί (anti, meaning "against") and λέγω (lego, meaning "to speak"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of contradiction or opposition in speech can be related to several Hebrew terms, though there is no direct equivalent. Some related Hebrew words include: • מַר (mar, Strong's 4784) meaning "to rebel" or "to be contentious." • רִיב (rib, Strong's 7379) meaning "strife" or "dispute." • סָרַר (sarar, Strong's 5637) meaning "to be stubborn" or "to rebel." These Hebrew terms capture the essence of opposition and rebellion, similar to the Greek ἀντιλογία, and are used in contexts where individuals resist divine authority or engage in contentious behavior. Usage: The word ἀντιλογία is used in the New Testament to describe instances of opposition or contradiction, particularly in the context of resistance to divine truth or authority. Context: The Greek term ἀντιλογία appears in the New Testament to highlight the nature of opposition faced by believers and divine figures. It is used to describe the verbal resistance encountered by those who proclaim God's truth. In Hebrews 12:3, the term is used to describe the opposition Jesus faced from sinners: "Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart." This passage emphasizes the endurance required in the face of contradiction and opposition, encouraging believers to remain steadfast in their faith despite challenges. Another notable usage is found in Jude 1:11, where the term is used in the context of rebellion: "Woe to them! They have traveled the path of Cain; they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam; they have perished in Korah’s rebellion." Here, ἀντιλογία is translated as "rebellion," referring to Korah's defiance against Moses' leadership, which serves as a warning against similar acts of defiance against God's appointed leaders. The concept of ἀντιλογία underscores the reality of spiritual conflict and the necessity for believers to be prepared to face opposition with perseverance and faith. It serves as a reminder of the challenges inherent in the Christian walk and the importance of relying on Christ's example of endurance.
