Ariaan,
Surely, you haven't read my earlier post about Zech, otherwise you
would not have repeated the modification of the text by capitalizing
"me".
Why would someone being wrong make you happy? Why do you need someone
to agree with you to establish your faith? Are you getting desperate?
Are you a drowning man reaching out for anything that passes by to
hold you up? Careful, whale excrement, might float for a little while
but will surely sink. When you are drowning in an ocean of doubt,
fear, and desperation, calm down inhale some pneuma and float to
shore. Backfloat so you can pass the time reading the Word on your
way to shore or so that if you don't have a Bible you can look up into
the stars and read the Word He wrote in the stars.
Bob
