Craig,
You ask very deep questions and this gives me an opportunity to provide deep answers to those who are working hard to comprehend all of this. Thanks so much for pushing me to answer the challenges that you have been getting. Once again this is a much bigger answer than having it buried in comments so I will include your concerns in the second post I will write in answer to Kristen’s questions/concerns. I will include comments on the “verbal aspect theory” as well so you will have an answer to your friends.

As an aside, I want to say that I have worked hard to dig for an answer that has no holes and fits the text without contradiction. I also am committed to answer any challenge that comes up towards my findings as I am fully convinced that truth stands strong and sure and challenges are an opportunity to bolster what is truth and actually works to make it stronger. It is a win-win situation.

Also my work was done with my nose deep into the text and into the grammar and I did not have a set person to follow who had already completely plowed the way through the text as I now see it. That didn’t matter to me as it doesn’t qualify as a necessary test for truth. I have been told by many that my work qualifies for a doctoral thesis. What that means is that my work is ground breaking and that in order for it to stand on its own, it must be able to withstand opposition, questions and challenges. I am more than happy to entertain any question or challenge to my viewpoint. I may not always know the answer right away, but I am confident that the Scriptures hold the answer to the challenge against truth. If my thesis is truth, it must stand the challenge. If it is true and stands the challenge it deserves being accepted after it passes the test. Whether I have a degree or not does not matter as far as truth goes. I have read many works by those who have doctorate degrees and I can see huge holes in their work that you could drive a mac truck through them. I have even been privileged to be in the position to have asked questions of some of those who have such degrees and I have not received answers to my questions. That is very telling for truth should stand the challenge.

I have also seen those who are not studied in the institutes of learning, yet their work has held solidly as truth. I am so glad that God’s gifts are not based on educational standing and that God has been pleased to use those who are not regarded in this world for their education. The bottom line is that truth is provable.

I will comment here back and forth a bit as I can later, but just to let you know that the full answer will not be in this comment section. Hopefully I will remember to give a link for those who are reading the comments at a later date. If I forget to do that maybe some kind soul will provide the link so that those who are searching for answers will be able to read what I provide.

Oh, and thanks for the correction regarding who said that they don’t always agree with everything said in the comment section. I was reading from my email and the blockquotes can sometimes mislead me regarding what is quoted by another and what is their own comment. I stand corrected on the quote.

Thanks a bunch, Craig for all you have commented and challenged here! It is people like you who have pushed me to go above and beyond my own completed work to make it even more accessible to others.
