In response, Steven Lo Vullo points out Mr. Morford's 
"little clause order trick in his English 
translation here in order to substantiate his novel
proposal."

Richard, you wanted to discuss the matter "without
discussing theology of course." However, it seems that
your posting betrays a concern for the passage's
impact on the theology of the current work of the
Spirit. In that case, I suggest that the next question
is more important: what is the time-frame for the
abolition/cessation of prophecies, tongues, and
knowledge? Is Paul telling us here when that will
happen (or has happened)?
