Bible Note: Hi stj, Thanks for the clarification and the spirit in which it was said:-) I was really just challenging your "opinion" by responding to you. As you may know, on the SBF opinions, assumptions, speculations, and conjecture carry very little if any weight! I'm sure you'd agree, we always need to be careful in this area. I also am very leery of any novel interpretation- especially of difficult passages. I too would probably opt with number 2. However, any inference to the Word would not be direct, but indirect. I simply thought you were reading something into the text that isn't there:-) Again, clarification always helps in bringing about true communication. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
