Re: RESTRAINS THE REVEALING OF EVIL
Not correct.
You are limited in your understanding, by viewing only a "limited" source, and looking no further (like at the Liddell and Scott Greek-English Lexicon source I provided):
"Liddell and Scott, in their Greek-English Lexicon (1871; page 93), has listed under "apostasia"... "later form for apostasis"
--"apo stasis" is from "apo - away from" and "stasis [/stasin] - a standing"... thus, "a standing away from [from a previous standing]"
(i.e. a "departure"...
from WHATEVER the CONTEXT indicates, as to just "WHAT KIND" of "departure" is meant, in any given passage--the BASIC MEANING of the word is simply "DEPARTURE" [without injecting "WHAT KIND," which is determined by whatever context wherein it's found--whether "FROM MOSES" or "from a governmental/law-type situation" or "of a FEVER" or "[boat] FROM A DOCK" (these latter ones being a spatial/geographical departure!)])
--then look at how "stasis/stasin [G4714]" (from the above point) is used in 8 of its 9 times (that is, in a NEGATIVE sense--see: https://biblehub.com/text/hebrews/9-8.htm and if you hover your cursor over the G4714 in the left-hand column, the "pop-up definition" there ONLY PROVIDES the "NEGATIVE SENSE" definition of this [related] word, but the word is NOT in the "NEGATIVE SENSE" in this Heb9:8-9 CONTEXT!!!); and
it would NOT BE CORRECT to therefore conclude that its 9th time used [the one found in Heb9:8-9 (*see link below for list)] is also to be understood in this NEGATIVE sense merely because it is used in a NEGATIVE sense in ALL OTHER INSTANCES!
To INSIST on such a thing ^ would just be to insist on being "willfully ignorant".
*-- see ALL of the list of its NINE times here: https://biblehub.com/greek/4714.htm [right-hand column--note how the LAST reference is NOT used in the SAME *NEGATIVE* SENSE as are ALL THE OTHERS!]
You yourself may not care to scrutinize what I've put above [at these two links], but the readers of this thread many wish to, in order "to see whether these things are so"
