Subject: What's Jesus example of borrowing money? |
Bible Note: O humourless one: The first definition is "one who jokes." While this is contrary to our earnest sense of Jesus, there is some truth to it. I overstated my case for rhetorical effect. My dictionary has the "obnoxious or incompetent" element as U.S. usage. Hmmm..... I don't really care to pursue this.... see my other reply (to Hank). I can really see how this forum can get distracted. JRM |
