Why is "your" brother considered a pronoun and "your"
eye an adjective? What is the distinguishing
characteristic that divides them into two groups?
(This usage seems to indicate they can be used
interchangeably.)

This was suppose to be an unrelated question, but it
sure seems to be a continuation. Sorry! I got the
grammar book by Funk that was recommended and he
quotes that Jn 1 passage but identifies it as Jesus'
answer (No, I am not that prophet). When I saw Jesus
denying being that prophet, I was sure there was some
mistake. I was only confirming that Funk made a major
typo (page 377).
