Thank you to each of you who replied.
I appreciate your insights and the suggestions that you gave. After this post, I'm planning to go back through the thread and copy your thoughts to a Word doc to print out and study your comments in depth.
I have been using some Internet resources, but it sounds like I probably should be doing more of that. So far, it's mainly been the Biblegateway and the 1828 Websters Dictionary.
Again, thank you and may God bless each and everyone for lending a hand.
E Sword online and Bible.Org also 2 good site for bible research!
