Bible Note: John, The following links attached to this note are my answer. I tired to keep them short and deleted a lot. I hope I didn't delete things needing to be explained, but the forum just isn't the best place to include excursions and footnotes and the like. I felt personally, that both of these questions were rather simple to answer, the hardest part being how to word the answer simply and clearly, something I don't think I accomplished all that well in this short time. Certainly these notes are not the end of the discussion, but rather an over arching answer to the question. I’d be more than happy to discuss specifics more in depth should you desire. MJH |
