Sorry, Craig- not this time! No half-quotes; no out-of-context cites; no running; no hiding behind some unidentified 'scholar' or 'scholars'; no redefinining anything "on the fly" to fit your own presuppositions; no bait and switch. Play games, if you choose. Even if I happen to be one of those who you would like to consider as one who does something
"based upon the grossest imaginable ignorance"
implying, of course, that YOU have arrived at YOUR contusions
"based upon many years of highly academic scholarship with a very detailed and comprehensive knowledge of the original languages, the original culture, and 2,000 years of biblical scholarship",
or at least borrowed the same, a la Joe Biden, from someone who has already done this, (without telling us how you know this to be accurate and correct, of course), I ain't joining in this game!

My post from Feb. 18, 2006 - 12:11 AM, halfway down the page, likewise stands, despite your comments. I plan on rebuttal to your remarks about the publications, but that will have to wait until tomorrow, as I'm falling asleep.
Until then, you finally quoted me and wrote:

I responded by quoting 'Steve', [whom I suspect you know something of, but I AM guessing here.
