Greetings Shalom, I am late in reading the posts today. I was very restless last night about my decision to confront Emile. My mind was buzzing with thoughts like "who am I, that I should interfer?" I had to ask myself if I am hesitant to do this because I am wrong or because I know Emile will respond, using his knowledge of the bible to cause me to regret what I have said? I decided to challenge Emile, as I would a school yard bully that threatens to beat me up unless I bow to his wishes. His response about the 29 pieces of silver was in bad taste, but no less than I expected from him. I see you are anxious for the new thread, and I would start it, but I am only a relative newcomer and I sincerely believe that the thread should have your name on it. Why? Because, any questions directed toward this thread should be to some one who has been a student of the bible for many years that is fully capable of answering a question. I think you should overcome any humility about it and just do it. God will bless you for it, James |
