Whoo, thanks for pointing that out. Perhaps I should relearn my Greek. And/or my Bible. This whole rediscovery-from-a-different-perspective thing is quite exciting, even if some of the things I find aren't as promising as they first look. I dunno if I'll ever reach the stage where I say, "that's it, the Bible simply can't be reconciled to my thoughts", or whether I'll keep looking. There's quite a lot to look at. But I'd like a bit of life left over to look at other things, too. ;)
