Bible Note: One more thing... Steve, I have read your user info and saw that you are an elder in the Church. I did not know this prior to my exegesis I gave to you on Ezra. I apologize for challenging you and I hope that you will forgive me for this. I do strongly believe that what I said about Ezra is absolutely true, however, I should have done it in a more respectful way. Please let me know what you think of my exegesis, and prayfully consider the implications of both of our views. Look forward to talking with you! ischus |
