gengwall,
Good sense of humor! I also fail to see how Neopatriarch has so boldly proclaimed that he has refuted me. He hasn’t even presented a viable explanation for verse 15 let alone refuted my position on verses 11 to 15. It would have been wiser for him to say that he doesn’t believe my exegesis rather than he has refuted it. That was really stepping out on a limb and me with the saw in my hand to cut off his “refutation”!

I was actually quite interested in his “refutation” since I have been waiting so long to see anyone bring up any evidence to show me where I went wrong in understanding the passage. My favorite “let-me-try-to-refute-you” explanation is found here http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2008/06/09/noodling-with-the-greek-grammar/ when Matt Slick, in an effort to try to refute me, said that the Holy Spirit made a grammar error in verse 15 but He is allowed to do that because apparently verse 15 is like poetry and the grammar doesn’t have to be correct. Honestly I about swallowed my gum when I heard that one. Make me snorkle right out loud. When one has to go to this extent to try to refute me, then it says to me that my exegesis is solid and bullet proof.
