Bible Note: Drawing from jewish writing's and tradition, John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible hit's on this theme as well. I wish I had more time to delve into these things, but being rather busy with church ministry and teaching bible study; ministering to the needs of our fledgling congregation takes up large portions of time and leaves little but for me to catch up on sleep and study the basic tenets of the Gospel; which I have a hard enough time understanding as it is. :-) Thanks for the info and the invitation into deeper discussion, but I'll pass; for now I'm up to my armpits in books, lectures and sermons to read and listen to, along with writing lesson plans for study, and also lecture notes. One especially good thing though about spending so much time on this computer is, when I take brakes (probably too often) It gives me opportunity to check in on SBF. :-) I've become quite fond of this place and the regulars here.
