To hear Lee tell it Kittel's Dictionary suffered from none of the fallacies claim by Tomes. So, so far, at this point, all we have is Tomes' word against Lees' ; he said she said.
And I'm not interested or willing enough to spend $150.00 to determine who's right.
This is my crucial realization: While in the LC I thought Lee was getting the meaning of NT Greek words by revelation from the heavenly realm.
Now I learn that, like everybody else he came by them from the earthly realm ; or in this case below that -- think the abyss -- if he came by them from a Nazi Jew hater.
