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?
