Bible Note: Dalcent, I did not mean to imply that your interpretation was "goofy." I am not certain on what basis you conclude that there actually was concensus for 1600 years. Nevertheless, assuming that that is true, one might suppose that there was once a reason for such an interpretation. It is the reason behind this interpretation that interests me. I understand that you are obligated to believe a specifc interpretation. I am not denegrating nor traducing that obligation nor your tenacity. Let's not lose focus on working through the logic. This is, after all, a Bible *study* forum. |
