Craig,

I was wondering if words like “believes…., is convinced….., must be….” is putting things more strongly than Gengwall is saying. I thought he was just putting forward another possible view to consider, that he could see some merit in.

You may be right. I have been so busy the last while that I get to read the comments in bits and pieces and often not in order that they were written so sometimes I read a comment that was written earlier that I did not see before. I did not read the comment of gengwall’s about a possible view right away. It did seem to me that he was against the view that “a woman” was only the woman from verse 14 and that he was then giving a possibility for the interpretation of “a woman” since another view was needed if she couldn’t be solely the woman in verse 14. I am sure that when gengwall has his time away and comes back he will be able to correct wherever I misunderstood him thinking that he was in disagreement with me. If we were on the same page then I was passionately arguing my view for nothing I suppose. But then passionate argumentation is what this blog is about as long as it is respectful of the other person. The commenters here have been amazing in their respectful discussions.
