Dear Richard:
Sharp's rule exists under very strict, grammatically limited conditions.
(These restrictions seem to grow with time!) In the case of Acts 2:23, the
nouns are not terms of *personal* description. They are abstract terms that
refer to aspects of God's being. But they are not terms used to describe or
identify God Himself. That is why this example does not fall within the
confines of Sharp's rule.
