<<My head is spinning day and night I'll never get this doctrine right! >> Don't feel alone, the Jehovah Witness's have the exact same problem with the trinity. Chris

Don, my mind is always open. But to correct you, I didn't say that your reference to Nineveh was evidence of Biblical inspiration. Merely that it was correct about the existence of Nineveh -- just as the Iliad was correct about the existence of the lost city of Troy doesn't require us to believe in the truth of the pantheon. Bertrand Russell is reputed to have come up with a similar quip. He once challenged his students by saying that given an incorrect premise he could prove anything. His student responded given that one equals two, prove that you are the pope. He responded the pope and I are two, but since two equals one, the pope and I are one.
