I don't quite follow. Are you suggesting that my translation of James 2:1
is somehow connected to my translation of Mark 11:22?
If it is, it would be a total surprise to me.
My translation of James 2:1 as a question was simply a mistake. Responding
to b-greek posts at 11:45 pm can do that to you! :-) Still, making it a
question or an imperative would not change the point that *I* was making
about PISTIS IHSOU CRISTOU.
