[UntoHim]

Just so ya'll know, what I posted in #86 was from a lurker, and not myself. Not saying I totally agree with, or totally disagree with, Nigel's footnote here....but just trying to kind of sort of extricate myself. Ok, so I'll just speak for myself by way of commenting on the following:

I have absolutely no idea. But I might just do some checking into this matter when I get some time. Of course, it's all just Greek to me.

Way, way different....for now. Last I checked, the Obama administration is not putting people to death (Christian or otherwise).

Come on Harold, you're way better than this. Read the Bible. Or, if you want to reduce it all down to a Hollywood movie - The Passion of the Christ - even Mel Gibson got it right. The Jewish leaders of the day used the "civil" system to condemn and eventually crucify the Lord Jesus. As the poignant line of the Lord Jesus to Pontius Pilate:Therefore he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin. The responsibility was laid square upon the shoulders of the Jewish leaders of the time.

Moreover, just because Kittel could expound NT Greek words doesn't make him a Christian. Kittel may have had a great mind but there was no Christian heart in him.

Agreed!
