I want to call us back from the drift of this thread and say that if you 
cannot comment on the Greek text and the phenomena of the text without 
drifting off into interpretation of the whole GNT or making accusations about 
other's motives, please do not post anything. To Ward I say DO NOT preach to 
us. We are capable of applying the text to our own situations. And to Jeff I 
say DO NOT make statements about the motives of others. If this continues, I 
will call a halt to the thread.
