Jim,
Comments such as this have an edge to them that would not be
acceptable if they were made from a "different" perspective. Please
remember that b-greek comprises people of many different faith
commitments and different views as to the veracity and authenticity
of the text. We are called upon to interact with the text in a way
that is respectful of these different views, and your comment here--
and sometimes in other posts-- is of the "in your face" variety.
Had you not wanted to speculate on the answer to the question,
silence would have been golden.
S. L. Kull
