CREA This is fascinating! Then you are admitting that EVERY reading of the conversations in the NT are BOUND to include misinterpretations of the material, inasmuch as even the most skilled contemporary linguist or Biblical scholar, since they were NOT included in or present at the conversation? Then just how, pray tell, does one go about determining what the conversations MEAN beyond the obvious? With Mettaa, Joseph Crea <Joseph.Crea@worldnet.att.net>
