Mark,
I would assume that you also will accept the "context" clause in Uncle Bob's
rule to be appended to the end of Sharps, is that correct?
> For example, John 20:28 and 1 Tim 1:1 both refer to one person,
> while 1 Th 3:11 refers to two. In each instance, the context is clear.
I think you might wish to go back and ask Uncle Bob if he really thinks
that God the Father (Cf. 1Ti 1:2) is Jesus Christ as well :)
Sincerely,
Dan
