Fellow members,

I understand and agree with Robert and Carl that this
thread has been tainted.  I would like to say a few
things to finish my dealings with it.

(1)  I let theology drive my understanding of the
text.  This has been asserted and I should have to
agree.  I think that most passages that deal with
eschatology are *very easily* colored in our
discussions of them.  This is only natural, but it is
not for B-Greek.  I apologize for the theological
nature of my postings.

(2)  I put Kenneth Wuest down.  I understand that I do
not like his writings.  From my personal reading and
study, I think that his analyses are off in many
respects, but that is not the crux of this issue.  It
had no place in my post, but I allowed it there
without thought.  Mr. Wuest may be a fine man (and I
am sure that he is), but I have disagreements with him
(just as I often do within myself).  That has no place
on B-Greek, either.

(3)  I tend to think simply as far as eschatology is
concerned.  I am an amillennialist, and that has
influence over my view of the text.  I picture there
being ONE general resurrection, ONE second coming, ONE
judgment, ONE… ONE… ONE….  That is simplistic the
thinking of my system and I have allowed it to color
my discussion.  

I guess, the point of this mail to the list is to say
this: as I have had to do in the past, I apologize to
you for taking up your time with my *opinions* about
theology and not about Greek.  For I should have to
bow to Carl, also, for the sake of his intellect.  He
holds things in check well.  Thanks to everyone for
being so willing to read and learn; to write and
teach.  ‹God bless!!›
