Well, I have misspoken even sooner and perhaps more seriously than I
anticipated. Carl Conrad wrote:

dispute the legitimacy and authenticity of his view, although I
cannot share it or claim it as my own any more than he can share or
claim my view as his own, but I do not deem that mine has any
superior standing whatsoever. More than that I need not and will not
say. Enough already.

I thought I had understood Carl to believe that my view of Scripture
sort of kept God in a box, that it limited Him in ways that his view
does not, and that my view is therefore inferior and, in a sense,
lower. If I may use one of Carl's own terms now, I find that I was
stupid enough to think that I was reflecting his view when the whole
history of our private correspondence on related topics shows that we
really do seem to be unable to understand one another.

So I will apologize for putting words in Carl's mouth that he
obviously does not acknowledge as his own and simply add my own
"Enough." Back to Greek.
