I see no problem discussing the meaning of ARCH or relevant data concerning 
its use. I can also agree that the translation "ruler" is a good possibility 
in the context of Col. 1:18.

I hope the whole list will understand that the problem with the previous 
thread was the theological attack on a group. I know that we drift over the 
line into hermeneutics and theology from time to time, but the real problems 
comes when we formulate questions or answers in purely theological terms or 
into some system that involves the whole book or Bible.  Use good judgment 
and be respectful of others and there will be no problems or hopefully flame 
wars.
