Hi All. In among his final postings on this thread, Zach did (at last!) make one comment relevant to my published articles - and so I feel I ought to reply to it. He said: This topic is not a two sided debate, it's an attack by one group on the other. A group who's beliefs of textual criticism [are]...

Hi there Jim. Many thanks for your kind and encouraging words. I should make plain that anything of lasting value in any of my posts is due to the Lord alone, but it is always nice to have someone suggest I have heard Him and/or been used by Him to bless His Kingdom. I wish Zach all the best in his ...

Hi there folks. Here, at long last, is the final section of my response. ANALYSIS WRONG If an analysis of the gulf in attitude between camps A and B actually gets completed and becomes public, some members of camp B seem prepared to do whatever it takes, no matter how unChristian, to stop people acc...

Hi again. Here, as promised, is the second half of my reply to Zach’s comments. Not wanting to push people too far too quickly, I was hoping to keep this material back until I had had a chance to present it in a more gradual fashion in Part 3 of my series of articles in Media Spotlight , but under t...

Hi there! Here is the first half of my reply to Zach’s comments. I hope to post the second half tomorrow. Together, these two halves seek to respond to all of Zach’s key concerns. They also try to provide a logical, biblical, loving summary of the bigger picture. (Contributors to this thread have ex...

Hiya Guys. Thanks to you both for the very clear recent submissions. I'd like, if I may, to offer my own summary of the situation in the light of Zach's latest postings. I'm a bit snowed this weekend, but I shall endeavour to get this summary organized as soon as decently possible. In the meantime, ...

Hi again Zach. Here is the first installment of my responses to your large recent posting. TERMS? You say, “I find your article confusing, because you use so many different terms without clarifying”... Firstly, I honestly don’t see how I can be accused of using “so many different terms” in the artic...

Zach, thank you for the opportunity to catch up. In the next 24 hours I plan to come to most, if not all, of the key arguments in your latest posting. However, I reckon a number of those arguments threaten to obscure the core issue of this thread so I’d like to suggest we all just take stock for a m...

Hi there Zach. Thanks for your last two postings. I greatly appreciate their gentler tone. Here’s a response to the first msg. I plan to reply to the second one in due course. :arrow: You say, “I'm not side stepping. I thought I would see if you would admit what I've accused you of. You are a devout...

Hi Zach. Surely we need to determine whether Part 2a in my series of articles is sound before coming to this matter? If Part 2a is sound then why haven't you acknowledged this? If it isn't sound, we must deal with that issue first since it would mean Part 2b was fundamentally flawed - and thus make ...

Hi there Zach. Thanks for your latest - patently heartfelt - messages. Below I have attempted to answer every significant point you made in your two main postings. If I have missed any issues, don’t hesitate (I’m sure you won’t :lol: ) to let me know. *MANY* IMPORTANT ERRORS? You begin by saying, “H...

Hiya Zach. I now understand why you got so angry. Let me say to begin with that these articles of mine are only meant to provide an overview of the subject for the “ layman ” as you put it. They deal in broad brush-stroke principles with a view to homing in more as the overall picture becomes clear....

Hi again Zach. MANY thanks for your latest. I hugely appreciate it. Let me start this post by freely acknowledging that the tone of some of my recent messages has not been as gentle as it could have been. I apologize profusely for this. (I had been getting a teensy bit exasperated by elements of thi...
